(open) art day art day!

Who: Open to everyone, come and mingle!
Where: Garden carriage
When: Kazoo 27
What: For today the garden carriage is turned into a place to get creative.
Warnings: There's cakes. And glitter.

Whether or not you heard Romeo and Madoka's announcement, you'll know about it, unless you avoid the garden carriage somehow for the entire day (and then from then on). The changes are simple, but hopefully something to be built on: an outline made in gold paint that takes the shape of a tree with large curling branches that greets the viewer from the longer width of wall, and a fishing net draped down the length of wall by the nearest entrance, with strings hanging off it for decorations to be added to. Posters seem to be all over the carriage, carrying messages in a childish yet neat handwriting, like "Are you having a fun day? Please vote art so we can have do lots more art together!"

Small sitting pillows have been placed around so people aren't sitting on the bed of stones, and the statues once there moved to other parts of the 'garden', leaving them with sounds of the running water to keep them company.

So, just what is there to do?

THE CRAFTS;
    The group have done their best to get as many art supplies as possible, with two trunks taken from the luggage car, and filled as tidily as possible. Inside one is a variety of papers, from tissue to cardboard, decorated and plain, some that's shiny, and even the kind for origami. There's also some sketchpads set out to the side, for any larger projects.

    And in the net trunk is all the rest you'd expect: the fun supplies. Paints, inks, glue, glitter, threads, ribbons, and wooden beads, and even scissors are set inside. Some of those paints? Why, they're even shiny paints, and plenty of them. There are books too, at different crafting levels. From how to make paper cranes, butterflies, flower garlands, and whatever else you might imagine. How about a tree with stars?

    Pretend what you want's inside them, and have fun.

    Or perhaps you brought your own craft along to the carriage. Whether it's knitting, sewing or anything else creative you'd like to do, there's definitely a place for that as well! It's like there are spots in the carriage that have been left intentionally empty for people to sit down with their own tools and work.

MEMORY WALL;
    Very, very simple folded animals have been put on the corners of where the netting is displayed, stretched out to make the most of the hanging that the netting provides (you have to get creative with what you can buy).

    Looking it over, there's already what seems to be names on cards, placed around different parts of the netting. Perhaps you may recognize some of the names as people who have been on the train before, but have since left.


CAKE;
    Of course there's cake. How else would they tempt people to come and sit down? There's one large cake made out of rainbow and sprinkles, and then a collection of cupcakes, all a mix of colours and whatever shakeable edibles has been decided to be plopped on top.

    There's also a few plates of simple yet sweet biscuits cut into a variety of shapes (cat heads, dogs, dinosaurs, and even...a train), some with light icing, some not. The quality is about what you'd expect from some kids having fun in the kitchen, and the recipes are simple for it. Don't worry; you might have glitter and sprinkles dropping onto your lap with whatever you pick up, but the shakers were about all anyone went wild with in the kitchen than the baking.

    Mami's helped to bring along refreshments in offering different flavours of tea, and there's even a few flavours of coffee to pick from too.

    So grab a cuppa, a piece of cake, and have fun pretending you're five and in art class again and create a masterpiece.

    Or even show others how to.

Casper gets a lazy hug from behind - it's mostly Della just draping herself over him... as much as she can, given the obvious height difference.

"What'cha making there?"

"It could be worse." Della reads out loud as she sees the handkerchief on display. She raises an eyebrow - boy, what kinda life would lead to that outlook? "Well, uh. That is true...?"

[Attention! He's the center of someone's attention! You could wrap anything you wanted to around his head, to be honest.]

Still as a corpse, cross my heart.

[A slight lie. Beetlejuice is practically vibrating with excitement--but, then again, that's pretty much his default setting.]

[ Oh, it's the Littlest Passenger! Della is super pleased to see him out and about. Hoping her first impression didn't leave too bad a mark, she moves to sit nearby, but still with plenty of room for him to have personal space if he wanted to run away. ]

Did you make that plane all by yourself? I love planes! You did such a great job!

Them trendy handkerchiefs!

[personal profile] cycledsingularity 2021-04-24 07:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[One man's handkerchief is equal to a blanket for Mono. He doesn't know much about sewing, beyond the creepy taxidermy in the hunter's lodge, but after watching Soldat attempt some alterations for him, he gets the gist more or less. It's interesting to watch.

What Mono doesn't understand is that it's rude to just walk over and just start inspecting someone's supplies without asking. He lifts one of the blank fabric squares, turning it over quizzically. What is it for? What is the point?

Sorry Kumoko, he's a forager, this stuff happens.]

Cake

Link was fascinated by the array of goodies. He took a cupcake and sat down with it, munching happily as he observed his fellow passengers. He was trying hard not to get icing all over himself, and mostly succeeding. After thinking it over for a minute, he took a cup of tea as well, settling back down once he'd obtained it.

wildcard!

[Now this is something Mono doesn't see every day. How did they make the propeller move? How are they functioning without being touched? The use of objects and fundamental processes like pressing buttons, pulling levers or winding things up are easy enough, but Mono has never seen it broken down like this before.

Indeed, this might actually be tactical knowledge useful to him outside of fun.]


"Magic?" [Because frankly that is what he has gotten used to calling the abilities only specific people can perform.]

The leg and the webbed foot make it easy to tell who it is, and he leans over to bump his head against hers gently.

“I’m making little stuffed stars. Raven and I are using our different abilities to help with nightmares. These should work okay... I’ll make them into dreamcatchers, and they’ll pull in bad dreams. Then people can use them as a passive recharge for their magic. ... The nightmares won’t taint the magic it gives off, I promise.”

I. Crafts

Despite what one might think looking at Prompto, he enjoyed art. Anyone who knew him he was a photographer, but he dabbled in other things when they caught his interest. This train had little to do anyway.

It was all too easy to come to the art event and peruse an origami book.

“Oh Em Gee!” Prompto squealed a little bit. Right there. On that page. Was an origami chocobo.

“I have to make this!”

He selected a couple of sheets of yellow paper and started the careful work of attempting such an intricate design.

II. Cake

Prompto was tempted by the rainbow cake. He’d been curious about it before and what was a little treat?

Besides, he felt like he was doing enough activity that a treat couldn’t hurt.

He selected coffee and cake and sat down with a wide grin. “This looks pretty good.”

The little bump is returned with just as much affection.

"Dude, that's so cool!" She chirps pleasantly, meaning every word. "You two are like magic geniuses."
helborn: (huh wha i didn't do it)

[personal profile] helborn 2021-04-24 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
“Aw, nah, not me. I picked this up in a dream world and a friend showed me how to use it. It’s not as effective as one someone makes for themselves, but every little bit helps. The sewing’s the tricky part... I got too used to being able to create stuff from nothing.”

He’s gotten lazy.

"Hey. Heyyy." She lightly tugs on his cheeks from behind. "No downplaying your part! You take the compliment, and say 'Thank you, Della!'"

M-Mm-hmm! Of course in a good way! It's full of cheer and happiness, just like you!

"Find enough scrap and the right kind of scrap, and you can build these anywhere!" She sounds like she's just happy to be showing people how to be the right amounts of destructive. It feels right, somehow.

"I can also do simple crossbows but I don't know if I should show that one here. That's a little less arty." The others involve a little bit of decorated paper or whatever.

Science! Which is like magic but easier to measure.

[That's a good description, right? Right. Do not gush about the laws of physics to the tiny bag person.]

Specifically, engineering! You can learn how to build basic things, and once you've figured out how they work you can build your own things! You learn the rules as you go.

Enthusiasm and determination are necessary for any endeavor. The glitter is...negotiable.

"That is a good point, though consider: do you truly think the glitter will remain only on your hands?" It's said with a smile, and he nods good-naturedly at Romeo - or rather, at his fine coating of glitter.

"No," Lea said, "but it's been quite awhile. Makes sense that I'd be a bit out of practice. Still I think I'm getting the hang of it."

He looked Romeo's glitter-covered form up and down and grinned. "You look like you're having a good time."

[personal profile] hotheadwarmheart 2021-04-25 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
Once the initial startlement faded, Lea lookd more amused than annoyed as he tried to keep ahold of the wriggling Digimon. "Nothing's chasing you," he said. "You just stepped in some paint, that's all. Well, paint and glitter."

He looked up as Ken approached. "I see you didn't escape this either," he said, grinning wryly.

Probably! And I bet people would come if only so they'd get cake.

I can't say I'm really good at baking, at all but I'd try -

[ Paused, did he see something just ... he looked cross-eyed at a moment, and thumbed off the icing. ] Whoops.

"I'll be careful!"

He slows down a bit, making it to the tea area with no incidents, he is a lot more careful making his way back to her, a hot mug of tea in his hands.

"Here you go miss!"
myblueskies: (they really are delicious apples!)

[personal profile] myblueskies 2021-04-25 07:18 am (UTC)(link)
"Really?" He looks surprised it worked. "That's great! Thank you miss!"

He hoped lots of people decided to vote, having an art carriage would just be so much fun!

[personal profile] myblueskies 2021-04-25 07:19 am (UTC)(link)
"Um... I guess not..."

He frowned slightly, thinking and then brightened. "Maybe we should ask the train to make sure there's a shower in that carriage too!"

A de-glittering shower.
myblueskies: (Alfredo is speaking!)

[personal profile] myblueskies 2021-04-25 07:21 am (UTC)(link)
He flings his arms up to catch the flying worm, he's sticky and paint covered and coated in glitter but Romeo doesn't mind, he doesn't want him to fall!

"You don't got to be scared Wormmon! It's just glitter!"
myblueskies: (of course!)

[personal profile] myblueskies 2021-04-25 07:23 am (UTC)(link)
"It is very messy!"

More messy than he even thought it was going to be. But he was glad Entrapta said she would help them.

"Thank you! It's going to take a lot of teamwork to make it all tiny again!"
