Who: Rapunzel and Open
Where: Quiet Carriage, the merged one
When: Nebula Day 2-5
What: Rapunzel teaching various art forms.
Warnings: Lots of art.

[Rapunzel was honest excited for each and ever lesson she was going to be doing., which was quite a few honestly:

Day 2
[One was obviously painting and she was planning on doing that on the first day when the room isn't being used. She made sure that the paints were set up and that things were in there place. Rapunzel herself standing and happily sketching away as she waited.]

Day 3
[Day 2 was something a little different than what people would expect. There was a little area set up in time for Candle Making. People who might not know how they are ade might not know what this was, but Rapunzel was soon. Standing there waving excitedly.]

Hello, are you here for the candle making class?

Day 4
[Todays classes for her was for knitting and crocheting. Needles were out as well as wool that had been provided for by another void member. This one Rapunzel had been looking forward to since it had been so long since she actually knitted anything.]

Welcome to knitting and crocheting class if you may grab your needles we shall get started.

Day 5
[FInal day of classes before perhaps a mission and sitting in the area was a lot of fabric. What was this about exactly and why was Pascal here for this one? There was a reason as Rapunzel moved her hand for him to climb on.]

Okay, so welcome. Today we have a guest. HIs name is Pascal and he will be out little model for dress making. Unless anyone else volenteers?

If you need an example I will be happy to.

[At those words Pascal already knew what he was meant to do. Stand on his hind legs. Simple really as Rapunzel held out the tape measure showing at least the areas once again that one would need to measure, but was making sure to not say any measurements out loud so the other can try herself.]

See. I showed the are would would need to do.

Okay..

[ Madoka looks like she's thinking really hard, but she's already holding out her hands - as if she's waiting for the other girl to hand her the measurement tape. ]

I'll try it out this time then..! I'll do my best!

I am positive you will do great~

[She moved to hand over the measuring tape before moving to rest her head on her hands as she watched the others excitedly.

Pascal himself seemed pretty chill.]

[ Well, if Rapunzel is positive, then Madoka can't let her down, now can she! Which means that she's already getting to work, leaning closer towards Pascal and slowly pulling out the measuring tape to use him. Trying to measure the same things as the other girl did a moment ago, and then stopping each time to note them down on a note..

Once she's done, she gently pushes the note towards Rapunzel, looking a bit shy - or perhaps uncertain, because Madoka never is that confident in anything she does. ]

Um.. is it right like this..?

[Rapunzel didn't even take that long and just glanced. At this point she knew her friends measurements by heart so she knew what she was looking for.]

It all looks right. While a couple might seem wrong, it's actually by not a lot. Like millimetres so it wouldn't actually affect the final result.

[Basically it should really be fine either way.]

Measurements are never exact, but you did a really great job.

[ There's a tiny moment where Madoka looks really, really worried that she did it wrong, since Rapunzel is saying it's a little bit off...

.. though most of that tension seems to leave the girl when she instead hears that praise. It makes her expression fill up with relief instead. ]

Ah, really..? T-Thank you! [ Sure, she might be getting praise here for a job well done, but Madoka is going to thank Rapunzel all the same for being so nice to her. ] What do we do with these now..?

The next step is to use those measurements on the fabric. When you are designing you need to first draw out the design of the fabric that you choose. That's when you use the measurements. Does that make sense?

[She wasn't exactly confident in her abilities to be a art teacher currently, but she knows she is doing her best at least.]

Yeah.. I think so!

[ It helps that Madoka would take most people at their word at any given time - so she's not about to question what Rapunzel is laying out for her here.

Instead she just nods. ]

Do we draw it out with a pencil, or something else..?

Pencil doesn't work very well on fabric. You need something like a marker though in my case back home I had to use something different. Also when you are drawing you need to know which parts to keep together or areas that won't ned sewing and to separate the parts you will need to have to sew together.

Basically don't draw the whole outfit as one giant drawing on the fabric.

[She went and picked up some fabric to show an example, since she thinks showing examples are a good idea to give someone a good idea. So she starts to draw sections, sleeves separate from the for just an example.]

[ Madoka makes sure to pay close attention to the example! After all, she has absolutely no idea at all how to do this herself, and Rapunzel seems - in her eyes - very confident.

So she watches, letting out small 'ooh's and 'aah's as Rapunzel keeps on going. ]

You're so good at this.. I wouldn't even know which pieces to draw separately like that! I-I mean, that means you're going to have to put the sleeves on it later on, right?

It took me a while to figure it out myself, but in my case part of it was being self taught. But I like being able to teach others what I learned.

[While Gothel probably did teach her a few things it probably wouldn't have been an awful lot. But with the pieces drawn she went to fetch th scissors.]

I will let you do the next part of cutting it out, just to give you a better idea or feel as to how you do that.

Oh.. yeah! I can do that!

[ That statement even comes coupled with a small nod. It's not entirely confident, since Madoka is well aware there are still ways she could screw this up, but.. she does know how to cut things! She can cut things! This is a task she's capable of completing!

So when Rapunzel hands her the scissors, Madoka will start on cutting out the fabric. It's going very slowly though, since she's making sure to be reaaally careful over here. ]

Did you do this sort of thing a lot back home..? Um, since you taught yourself it, I mean.

Sometimes, I mean could be daily just to keep myself occupied really.

[There was a reason he knew a lot of things when it came down to art stuff. Way too much time.]

I wouldn't suggest practicing daily as there is so much one can do on the train, but now and again is always good.

Well, after a while you do kind of get bored of doing the same things over and over on the train.. [ It sucks when you've already seen many of the movies, or read many of the books. It's why Madoka dives into art so often, really. At least that's different each time. ]

So I think I'll probably have time to practice a little more during the upcoming while! Though I'm not sure if we have enough fabric for it..

[ Maybe she should buy some more later? ]

I never found that to be the case...I mean I had my moments, but...not like I could have done more back home. SO I always make fun with the same thimgs over and over.

[She paused for a moment. It was why she felt a bit happier when she found herself here but soon back into old habits.]

I got enough for one outfit person wise, so not a lot.

[ That.. sure sounds like there's some potentially really sad reason for that!

But the last thing Madoka wants to do is put sad things on the table during fun fun art time, so she just tries her best to not ask about it, just accepting that Rapunzel likes doing the same things again and again. Hey, at least it won't leave her bored on the train..! ]

Aww.. [ That 'aww' though is in response to the lack of fabric. ] I guess that means we're going to have to buy more of it if other people want to make clothes too!

Yes, basically. But I didn't get a lot of points myself, so it takes time for me to get it.

[So she knew for now she could only get so many when she could afford it.]

So this is basically something one can only do now and again.
