[The video starts with Ginger being...herself. She looks particularly excited about something as she waves to her audience, grinning ear to ear. In the background, if one looks closely, one can see a string of paper cutouts resembling people holding hands strung up like a banner of cheer. There's also England, and a sewing machine, looking all together much more business oriented.]
Hello everybody! I think it's, like, been forever since I've made a network post, but guess what! My really cute friend England and I have some super duper extra special news!
[Wait, would this be news? Or would this be an announcement that doesn't involve news? Or something else entirely? Whatever! She barely hesitates, practically bouncing in her somewhat manic levels of energy. She continues right on to say what she intends to say, not noticing in the slightest the way that England visibly flusters over the choice of words she used to describe him in her introduction.]
Everybody knows that we're, like, totally into sewing, and ta-da! We have a bunch of tools and a machine that's working and a good amount of fabric we've picked up so here we are ready to work and have fun! Isn't that great? So, like, yeah!
[She looks back at England, a "did I do good?" expression lighting up her face. England, still not having completely recovered from Ginger's compliment, clears his throat and assumes as much composure as he can manage. He takes a few steps closer to Ginger so that he can better address the camera as he speaks.]
What Ginger means to say is, we'd like to take advantage of this opportunity to make clothes for people in the most efficient way possible. We're both capable of constructing garments by hand, but it's much faster when we have the machine.
So, we're inviting you to ask questions and formally put in requests for garments today.
[Yes. He's back on track. He gestures back to the machine and the pile of misfit fabric next to it. His voice is somewhat stern as he continues.]
Unfortunately, our resources are limited, so please try to be reasonable in your requests and be truthful about how badly you need the garment. We'll be prioritising those who are in the most danger from the cold.
[He doesn't necessarily like having to put it that way, but if someone is in summer clothes, he's more worried about their survival than someone who is well-dressed besides, perhaps, an appropriate pair of socks.]
Additionally, if you are nearby and would like to meet us to pick up your garment or donate spare materials, we invite you to coordinate that with us, as well. The house is a short walk northwest from the entrance to the tunnels. There's a snowman outside.
[Ginger claps her mitten-covered hands together.]
Oh, that's right! The snowman has a cute little hat on it that I found somewhere, so you really can't miss it! So, like, keep us company, okay? We'll be taking turns all day and it would be super nice to hear from you even if you just want to say hello!
((ooc: Ginger and England will both be responding from their tablets to questions as they switch off sewing, so may pick up handling different threads at different intervals.))
