(open) pottery palooza
Who: Madoka and you!
Where: The two merged booths in the quiet coach.
When: 1 & 2 Nebula.
What: Madoka could use some help with putting something together - and she's organizing a pottery activity for art month!
Warnings: Probably nothing, will edit if necessary!
( a. nebula 1 - ikea pottery wheels. )
[ Madoka sure is around at first on the day - especially when it comes to greeting new people on the platform and checking up on all the people who are sad because of the people who are leaving.
But at a certain point, it's almost as if she disappears. Checking anywhere in the regular spots won't let you find her. She's not in the kitchen, she's not doing chores.. but if one were to wander through the quiet coach, they might find Madoka there in the lab-turned-temporary-art-space. She's kneeling on the ground next to pieces of what might look like a pottery wheel, though you have to squint a little. They're all taken apart.
And the girl herself? Well, she seems to be having a really, really troubled expression on her face as she looks at the parts. She takes a few and tries to put them together, but they immediately fall apart again, dropping back on the ground as she yelps. Or.. well, you can't hear the yelp, since it's the quiet carriage, but it's visible on her face.
Please help this poor child. ]
( b. nebula 2 - pottery activity! )
[ By the second day of Nebula, surely everyone has spotted the posters all over the train. Though Madoka seems to have put a note next to them that wasn't there yet yesterday, reading: ]
Come do pottery sculting today at the quiet coach! You don't have to bring anything, just a smile! :)
[ Anyone who does go to the quiet coach will find Madoka there in the same space as yesterday - except now with two actually put together pottery wheels, and a huge smile on her face and a wave as she greets you.
Maybe you didn't even come here on purpose, and you were just passing by.. But alas, you've been trapped.. You can't just ignore that happy greeting and not head inside to participate, right? Are you that cruel. ]

Better to do simple thing. Get back to changing world.
[Plus they're travelling what else is he going to do until he gets his hand on gene sequencing equipment?]
no subject
Madoka smiles though. ]
Yeah! I think so too, sir, but.. you know what the funny part is? A whole lot of people seem to think art is super complicated! [ Judging from how hesitant they are to even start on it, anyway.. Even though Madoka thinks the idea behind art is so simple and fun. ] I think it's since everyone really wants to do it perfectly, even though that's not the point of art..
no subject
[Just because he's a scientist doesn't mean he wants life to always be so simple]
no subject
I mean, my art isn't.. that great. Um, on a technical level, I mean! [ She's well aware of that. More than well aware. Of course a self-conscious person like Madoka has noticed that long ago, really. ]
But I still really like drawing anyway. Like you're saying, it reflects emotion.. I feel like I can put all my feelings into my drawings! And now I'm experimenting with other ways to make art, it really feels the same.
no subject
[He pauses and considers]
Imperfection could be point. At least aspects that defy analysis.
no subject
[ Not that she necessarily thinks he does! She's just a little curious, considering he's pointing out that imperfection can sometimes be the point of art.. and Madoka does suppose that's true, hence her curiosity driving her to ask that other question. ]
no subject
[Not that he's against tech. Just... the Collectors were troubling.]
no subject
Were things like that in his world? He looks like an alien, so of course she's not sure what life was like for him back home.. ]
Are you saying things were taken over by tech where you come from?
