W2 Sunday

[applechemist]

[ Escha wanders into the arts & crafts room, mostly because she is just. Not sure what to do with herself, and realized that she's never been inside this place.

But oh hey, it's a Minako. Escha comes over to sit beside her. ]

What are you up to?

Re: W2 Sunday

[muragas]

[ she is, in fact, knitting something out of bright orange yarn ]

It's going to be a gift for Sanji-san. So if he falls asleep with knives on him, he won't stab himself again.

[ :) ]

What brings you here, Escha-chan?

[applechemist]

T-that's nice of you...

[ How did that happen to Sanji in the first place... She is so concerned]

I don't know. Just exploring, I guess.

[muragas]

Mm, well, you've picked a good place. Lots to keep yourself busy with, here. I think there's beads and thread to make jewelry with too.

[ she knits another row, before turning back to Escha ]

Oh, that reminds me! I really liked those stick-on earrings you had at trial last week. Where'd you find them?

[ even though i, traverse, wasn't here forever ]

[applechemist]

I've never made any real arts and crafts before.

[ she's just been doing alchemy?? her whole entire life?? that's so stupid. but it means she doesn't really seem to know what to make of all of these materials. ]

Oh, those earrings were a mission reward.

[muragas]

Oh, really? Do you want to learn?

[ man, aren't macaroni necklaces like. art class 101? ]

Is that so? What a coincidence, they looked really similar to a set I found. What do yours do?

[applechemist]

[ Escha nods enthusiastically!! Teach her the ways of elementary school art projects!! ]

They amplify hearing.

[muragas]

[ she will! she will teach her! but first... ]

Ah, what a coincidence! So do mine.

[ she smiles ]

Just to be clear, Escha-chan, when you said you got yours as a reward for a "mission", did you really mean "task"?

[applechemist]

Oh - I guess so. I hadn't really thought about the difference.

W3, Friday

[applechemist]

[ Well. Escha seems to be trying to keep to herself because Fridays Are Bad Days but. Camp is only so big, so wherever Minako is, Escha is there too. (specific.) Also she is rolling her hips? Like she's dancing or hula hooping without a hula hoop? It's fine. It's fine, don't worry about it. ]

Oh - hey, Minako.

[muragas]

[ interestingly, Minako is out by the lake, rolling balls of snow with her bare hands. she has a scarf on though! ]

... Hi, Escha-chan.

[ roll roll roll ]

You spent the night somewhere outside too, huh?

[applechemist]

The laundry room...

[ this is. embarrassing??? A LOT OF PEOPLE JUST DIED. ]

... You should be wearing gloves.

[muragas]

... I don't know how to knit those.

[ there's? a clothing store?????? ]

And I felt like I needed to do this instead. It's the side-effect, I assume.

[applechemist]

I think you could buy some...

[ but she nods... the compulsions... are difficult. ]

Where did you sleep?

[muragas]

You know the little lean-to by the lake? I was there.

[ said little lean-to has no walls. ]

We sort of. Piled things together to make a barrier against the wind.

[applechemist]

Wasn't that too cold?! You're going to catch a cold if you do things like that!

[muragas]

Hm?

[ Minako has gotten distracted by the gigantic ball of snow her little snowball has become.

... huh. are her lips a little blue...? ]

w4, w ednesday? i think?

[muragas]

[ hello Escha, did you enjoy crab rave? are you still watching it? wherever you are, Minako will approach her, smiling ]

Hi, Escha-chan. How's it going?

[applechemist]

[ Probably in the gardens, enjoying the flowers! ]

Oh - Minako. Pretty good, even if there was a lot of strange stuff today...

[ crab rave......... ]

How are you?

[muragas]

Pretty good! I finally got to start on some projects I've been thinking about.

[ a brief pause ]

I was wondering - you and Wei Wuxian-san are friends, right?

[applechemist]

That must be nice.

[ she's jealous... all her projects are alchemy related so they're a no-go. And at the question, she nods. ]

We are. Why do you ask?

[muragas]

... Eh? Escha-chan, are you bored?

[ she can fix that! starting with... ]

Mm... I was wondering... Do you have a power that lets you write secret messages?

[applechemist]

I wouldn't say that I'm bored... I just have all these ideas for recipes I want to try or items I want to learn to make... But I can't use alchemy, here.

[ It's like being denied her life's passion!

But, hmm. Escha hesitates to answer that question... ]

[muragas]

Maybe you could make some of them here!

[ and that's as far as she'll take that thread for now, because this next one is more important. ]

I'm wondering because Wei Wuxian-san got a message this week, but I couldn't read it at all. Is that the power of Oculus? Or Bird Box?

[ it could be a few others but... mirrors and blindfolds seem the most fitting ]

[applechemist]

[ hmm.

she shakes her head. ]

Sorry, but I don't know. That's not my power.
