JANUARY MINGLE | OPEN

[oneandmikleonly]

[It's a new year! Well, by the fragile construct of calendar time we're creating on this planet, anyway.

Here's a an open mingle for all your January needs! Are you trying to stalk our new alien stalkers back, or reach out to them, or fight them? Building? Exploring the biomes, for fun and/or to uncover more about our alien friends? Researching? Hugging URSULA? Raising Birdogs or getting involved with other wildlife? Making or breaking resolutions? OTHER? Whatever it is you're doing, you can put it here.

Don't forget to check the OOC plotting post to see what's going on and get involved with missions!]

[Takeru and Patamon both stare as she explains, and it's only thanks to being familiar with the Digital World's brand of non-logic that they can sort of follow along. The look they exchange makes it clear they'll probably run off to mess with the tree like idiots as soon as they're done here.]

Seriously? I guess I shouldn't be surprised it's something like that. The more I learn about this place the weirder it all sounds.

[Patamon goes back to investigating the items and finds a pair of glasses to slip on. Takeru, meanwhile, keeps his focus on Kanaya and readies the pillow for stuffing.]

It washed up along with numerous other items and thing from other peoples worlds last year. From what I've gathered, it's from Nagito and Hinata's world.

[Kanaya opens up the bag of stuffing and pulls a large clump of fluff out to hand to Takeru.]

If you are interested in literature from my world, I donated my collection of books that washed up to the library. I kept my sewing machine though, as you can see.

[I hope you two like Troll!Twilight, as she has the whole series. There's a few outliers sure, but it's mostly rainbowdrinker(alternian vampire) novels.]

[hatamon]

[He's going to read them and be so, so confused.

Takeru takes the stuffing and goes about filling the pillow in a mechanical sort of process, too fascinated by listening to Kanaya to give anything else much attention.]

That's the first I've heard about anything from our worlds showing up. Did anyone figure out how it happened?

[From a magic tree to books to a sewing machine... it doesn't sound like any sort of pattern.]

[lightbulbvampire]

Ah.... now that I think about it, no. I do not believe we looked into it. A significant amount of us had fallen ill with Jelly Shroom Flu and the hurricane that brought the items here wrecked some of the base. I arrived that month, so I wasn't as well integrated as I am now into its inner workings, so to speak.

[She muses this out loud as she supervises the stuffing.]

[hatamon]

[Serious sickness and a hurricane damaging the base is news to him too, and when he nods his expression shifts from surprised to a bit more somber.]

In that case I see why that stuff wasn't anyone's priority. I've really missed a lot.

[Once the pillow looks full enough to him he gives it one more shake to settle the stuffing and holds it up for Kanaya's approval.]

[lightbulbvampire]

I felt the same way when I first arrived.

[She examines the pillow.]

Good job. We can move onto the next step, which requires the invisible stitch. Well, at least to maintain the smooth seam we have. It will function perfectly fine with a running stitch, but will not look nearly as nice.

[hatamon]

Invisible stitch?

[Sounds advanced. He might look a little nervous.]

Well, whatever you think is best.
