[network|video] @prettypinkflowers; I PUBLISHED THIS WITHOUT A TITLE; Day 189 [open]

[lacecase]

Alright, everyone, so here's what's going on! Sewing requests were and still remain open, but oh my gosh, you're all just such busy bees that you never give me the chance to give you what you've asked for. And the way I see it, the sooner we can get these clothes into your hands, the sooner you'll be warmer and the more room that we'll have to pick up fabric and make more things!

[The "we" here being her including England and America. They're not directly in her camera feed, but it's clear from how she's set up that she's not alone in the room.]

I know most of you are up in those tunnels, and I don't want to take you too far away from your work, so we're going to head up to where all the houses are and find a good place to settle down. If we can't stay somewhere that you can get to, let us know if there's a better place to meet up! Or maybe someone will be friendly enough to help run some deliveries?

[She looks distracted for a moment as she pulls out her sketchbook and begins flipping pages. After a moment, she settles on one.]

Okay! So, like, I might be missing someone here, and if I did just give me a nudge, but the people who I'm super duper sure we have things ready for right now are Davespite, Clint, Charlie, and Royce.

[Ginger takes another moment to double check that she does indeed have what she's promising to have before giving an affirming nod to the camera.]

Yeah! Great! Let us know your thoughts! We're thinking if nothing else we'll aim to head toward the House with the sewing machine--it's close to the ice tunnel entrance if you've never been there! There's a snowman out front with a hat on it, you can't miss it!

((ooc: England and America are with her, so they might be responding as well! Be sure to specify if you want to talk to someone in particular.))

[It's good to see Ginger back to her usual bubbly self again. Really, it's good to see her in general. She's okay, so maybe he can be okay too. He's working on it.

He switches on his video so she can see him, too. He's doing better than he was the other night, Ginger, honest. He gives her a smile.]

Hey, awesome. When d'you think you're gonna be up this way again? I can swing by whenever. I'm not up to a whole lot.

[LIE!! He's running food for the Pass crowd, which is very important! But not as important as you, babe. He's got priorities.]

[lacecase]

Oh, gosh! Well I'm no good at guesstimating. Hopefully less than a week--depending on the weather and all that! How 'bout I keep you updated, honey? Aww, it's so nice to hear from you!

[Charlie always puts a smile on her face! Except when he doesn't, but that doesn't count.]

[fifty]

[Muffled America looming in the background of Ginger's video.

He's not gonna say anything. But he's listening. Gotta make sure you're not a weirdo when you're normal, dude.]

@duster, audio, private

[bywolves]

[ He hears his name on the network, and it makes him jump. It doesn't matter, really, not in the long run, he knows, it's just he doesn't want to give people more information about himself. ]

Don't call me out on the network. If you have to, say Duster. [ A pause. ] I don't need it. Give it to someone else. [ Even though he asked. ]

[Ginger gasps, appalled by her own mistake!]

Oh my gosh, I'm sorry! I wasn't thinking. Pinky promise, won't do it again!

[Anyhoo.]

Are you sure? You already paid me in thank-yous!

[And she understands that this was a steep price for you to pay.]

[bywolves]

[ God, how does Royce even handle Ginger, she's... so much. ]

Unless you plan to deliver them straight to me I don't have the time or inclination to turn around and retrieve them. [ But they are so useful... He sighs heavily. ] If you leave them somewhere maybe I can pick them up.

@hawkguy, audio

[awwnoun]

Aw, thanks, missy. [ Clint can manage a smile for her. ] You know, I'd forgotten all about this.

I'm uh - I'm trying to get some food to the people in the Pass, right now, so I can't come get what you've got yet, but I'll figure it out.

[lacecase]

I hope your feet haven't been too sad and cold, sweetie!

[She feels bad--there really hasn't been a good chance for them to meet up so she could give him those boots.]

You're doing something super good, so if we can't make it up that far I'll see if someone stopping by is heading your way, alright?

[awwnoun]

Nah, they've been alright. I found shoes, someone was nice enough to give them to me.

[ Ginger's so sweet that it makes him feel better to talk to her, even if things suck elsewhere. ]

Thanks. You're doing something super good, too, helping all these people. I know DS especially is gonna appreciate whatever you got for him.

@Spoiler ; video

[spoileralert]

Oh, this reminds me, do you have knitting needles? I unraveled some tiny mittens for the yarn, if you want it.

[lacecase]

Yes! I do! I wasn't too experienced in knitting before but England is really good at it! He's been teaching me! So even if I can't make something he, like, could totally use it.

[Exciting!]

[spoileralert]

Really. Wow. You know, I did not know that about England at all.

We're on our way out of the eastern tunnels now, so we can try to get it to you if you're not too far.

[ecks]

what are knitting needles?

[spoileralert]

[ Uuhhhh ]

Giant needles that you use for knitting?

[exequies]

Can you make me something pink?

[lacecase]

Like, for sure! Absolutely! I love pink!

[This is THE BEST QUESTION anyone has ever asked her.]

What do you need the most?

[exequies]

[It's the best color!]

A warmer pair of gloves, perhaps. Or earmuffs! Either one would suit me.

[mrcreamsicles]

oh hey
i didnt know you were still working on that
im over near the split tunnels now and probably gonna be meeting up with clint along the way
so if you figure out how to get stuff to one of us then that problem is double solved
can i see the thing
you want to see me too while im at it
a bunch of people know what i am now and if you made me the sock thing ive basically got no reason not to explain more

[lacecase]

Yeah! Sorry I didn't keep you updated--things have been so crazy, right? Well I guess they're, like, always crazy? But super crazy.

[Her expression only gets brighter when he asks if he can see it.]

Of course! One sec, hun.

[Ginger angles the tablet upward against the wall, then stands up, dragging up the promised gift with her, unfurling it for him to see. It's made out of one of those parachutes that kids play around with for fun at school, and it's definitely sock-like.]

I hope this is big enough--when we found this we didn't know what we were going to do with it, but once you said what you needed we were like wow! Perfect! And--oh--I'd love to see you! Facetime!

[mrcreamsicles]

thats the most fashionable body sock ive ever seen
all those colors all stitched up together
move over because norfinburys next top model is coming through all thanks to the fine work of one miss hale
lemme just get this camera right

[There is a short pause as he sets things up, then the video comes through—]

[But he's wearing one of those godawful horse masks together with a sun hat. It's pretty much impossible to miss the bright orange ruff of feathers around his neck, though, not to mention the pair of wings at his back. His coat, too, is the same terrible orange.]

How do I look?

[The mask muffles his voice slightly.]

[peacemongering]

What are the costs associated with ordering new garments?

[lacecase]

Good manners and thank-yous!

[A tall order for most of the people here, to be sure.]

[peacemongering]

I have plenty of those to spare, my dear. Do you have an order form somewhere that I could take a peek at? I would greatly appreciate it.

@joacin; text

[haillenarte]

My, my...
Are you making clothes for everyone in Norfinbury?

[lacecase]

Sure am!

[Well, okay.]

I mean, everyone I can! I'd like to make nice warm snuggly things for everybody, but I only have so many supplies. So it's kind of who needs it the most or who asks the nicest. But England and I just want to help the best we can, so it's a totally, like, free service!
