Kara's Craft Corner

[takingkarabusiness]

Who: Kara & U
Broadcast: fleetwide
Action: The Iskaulit!
When: Now!

[ Kara is in the lecture hall on the Iskaulit, with materials strewn about. There's ribbon and fabric and pompoms and paper and, of course, GLITTER. She probably has some glitter on her cheek. She looks cheery and waves at the camera ]

Hi, Fleet! Fleeters. Have we come up with a demonym? Or a collective noun? "A floot of fleeters". Eh, needs work.

Anyway, I set up some arts & crafts in the lecture hall on the Iskaulit because it's been very hectic and stressful lately and I thought we could use some creative outlets! Consider this my contribution to the Fleet as someone with a personnel augment. Craft therapy!

So come on by, spread glitter around, and maybe even meet new people! I'll be here for awhile—my room could really use some sprucing up.

[ she waves again and cuts the feed, though she's more than happy to chat with people over the videolink. All are invited to the craft party though! ]

_{[ Well - why not right? He wasn't an arts and crafts guy, though he liked building things. But it was Kara's contribution and he viewed it as something a project, so why not go support her? Besides, could be fun. So he makes his way over and smiles at her, waving as he comes over to take a seat across from her. ]}

Any glitter left or did you use it all already?

I always have enough glitter. You will be finding glitter in places for weeks.

[ she's currently working on a paper bunting ]

Such is the price we pay for shininess.

[ He chuckled, considering what she is making, tilting his head. ]

What are you making?

[in an effort to get out more, of course he's going to come over after seeing her post. He peeks in before entering properly]

That's a lot of glitter.

[takingkarabusiness]

Needs must, Hank. Needs must.

[beathach]

Oh, is that why. My bad.

[ going to the iskaulit is still terrifying, but not as bad since he got the first time out of the way with kate. besides, knowing kara's there helps - he knows all he'll have to do is scream, and she'll find him. so preparing a little crafty tribute in advance, he walks into the hall.

he hasn't been here since he barricaded himself in that night with sascha, choosing to let cisco handle filming the lectures and keeping himself busy with other ventures. it looks much warmer now than it did that night.

smiling, he walks up to kara and hands her his creation. ]

For your room. Nice projecting you got going here -

[takingkarabusiness]

[ appropriate icon!! ]

This is adorable! Winn!! We should make a whole bunting out of them!

[winn]

[ making kara happy will never not give him a thrill. ]

Sure, yeah, lead me to the paper -

[Yeah, he's been feeling the stressed out thing. Though it hasn't had anything to do with current events, but rather not having enough to do so he can't put off processing all the stuff from home any more.

And plus, Kara's a lot of fun.]

Hey, Kara.

You weren't kidding about the glitter, were you.

[takingkarabusiness]

Poe! Come sit with me.

I never kid about glitter.

[Fenris is still keeping himself busy with working at the Space Bar and generally Avoiding Everyone. Still, he genuinely likes Kara, so he'll at least pay attention to this. ]

...Quite an interesting concept. I was not aware glitter was so useful.

[takingkarabusiness]

Fenris!

It makes boring things less boring, but I'll try not to track in any and get it on your stuff.

[ said teasingly. she knows he's not a craft guy ]

Fleetonians? Fleeterati? Flees? Sailors? [Helpful? She's playing with her lighter. Fire on. Fire off. Fire on. Fire off.]

[video]

[takingkarabusiness]

I probably like "fleeterati" a little too much.

Times like these I kind of miss Ms. Grant.

Is it even safe to have that lighter on a spaceship?

[reconstitution]

Is there a particular place you get all of these supplies?

[takingkarabusiness]

Various markets from the planets we visited, mostly.

Action - Iskaulit

[She arrives a little later, stiff, but mobile. She probably should be spending more time resting, but she's not one to sit idly by and it was starting to grate on her.]

[But then she had been able to maintain some sort of sanity while recovering because Pinkie Pie had gotten her introduced to coloring with crayons and knitting and had suggested Furiosa check out the studio on the Marsiva. She's here now, a little lost because there was nothing quite like this in the Citadel, but more than willing to learn.]

[She settles on something simple; construction paper art, with a lot of Green and flora themes.]

[takingkarabusiness]

Hi! Let me know if you need anything.

[outstandingbalance]

Arts and crafts time, huh? I can see that.

[takingkarabusiness]

Some people really find it soothing, and I figured it wouldn't hurt to encourage some relaxation.

Let me guess your craft of choice... macramé?

[ecclesiophobic]

Thank you for the warning, fräulein. I'll be certain to avoid the lecture hall for the next month.

[He says it with a smile.] Have many people come to join you?

[video]

[takingkarabusiness]

Just a handful! Mostly men, interestingly enough...

What's therap-ee? [ Because Sascha vaguely knows crafts. Now he needs to know the other half of that! ]

[takingkarabusiness]

It's where you talk to someone to help you feel better, or do something to help you feel better when things have been really hard.
