Living on Your Own, Friday, Aug. 15, period 1

[tyler_gone]

Tyler didn't seem especially inclined to chit-chat as he started class today, but that wasn't so far from his norm.

"All right," he said, once the students were all seated. "So you have a house -- decorated to your specifications -- and a job, and what you need is something to do in your down time. Drinking yourself into a coma is always a popular choice, and so is watching TV until your brain turns to goop. But on the off chance you need something more active to do and don't already spend all your time on the Internet arguing about plot holes in the new Z-Cases Movie, hobbies are good things. And knitting is a really popular hobby."

He held up a skein of gray yarn with knitting needles through it. "I learned to do this here. Eleven years ago, I could make a scarf. Right now, I can make a slightly better scarf. Here's how." He explained and demonstrated knitting, looking oddly proud of himself as he finished a few rows.

"The other popular thing to knit in Fandom, and I do not wanna know why, is dildo cozies." He held up one that looked like a very long, very skinny sock made from neon purple yarn. "There are patterns for those on your tables, should you feel so inspired."

"And that is it from me for the day, go ahead and knit. I'll be around."

Listen, talk, take notes, or feel like you've wasted your time.

Michael listened. He didn't like what he was hearing, but he listened.

Ichigo had sunk rather low under his desk, possibly trying to hide the ugly, ugly short which clashed horribly with his hair. Stupid island.

Ino was still dubiously glancing at her shorts and was mildly appeased when she noticed that everyone had on really ugly shorts today.

Knitting. Amber could try. Especially if she got to try and make socks.

Katchoo was mostly ignoring her shorts, and massively, privately amused at the thought of herself knitting.

She halfway wondered if, this being Fandom, the needles would turn on her if she tried to touch them, or come to life and run away screaming or something.

Finally, something she was familiar with. And no kittens to tangle themselves in the yarn; that should help. Alice approved.

Knit! [8/15]

[tyler_gone]

There are many types of moddable yarn and knitting needles on each table. And of course chit-chat goes so very well with knitting.

Re: Knit! [8/15]

This boy was not knitting. He actually looked like he'd rather set the yarn on fire.

Re: Knit! [8/15]

[tyler_gone]

The glare was kind of hard to miss. "Is something wrong, Michael?"

Re: Knit! [8/15]

[intraspective]

"The yarn won't bite, you know," Ino informed him impishly.

Re: Knit! [8/15]

This could not end well. It really couldn't. Ichigo had the needles and the yarn and a pattern to a scarf. It seemed like the easiest thing to start with.

Seemed. Several tries later, he still hadn't been able to set up the first row. He had succeeded in getting the yarn tangled up, however.

Francine might actually be a decent knitter if she could get over making this face at the dildo-cozy patterns long enough to pick up a pair of needles.

Re: Knit! [8/15]

[intraspective]

Luckily for her knitting had been covered by Suzume-sensei and her mom.

This did not mean that Ino liked it, but she was alright at it.

Re: Knit! [8/15]

[thismaskiwear.livejournal.com]

. . . yeah, Katchoo was resolutely not touching the needles, having convinced herself that they really would try to turn on her.

Alice's needles were merrily clicking along. Her fingers found the rhythm and didn't need any input from her brain. She wondered if she would have to re-learn heels, or if her fingers had those tucked away, as well. One could hope.

Sam had never tried knitting before because his mun was determined to not let her obsession bleed in, but it didn't seem too complicated at first. Four knots and some tangled stitches later, he was wondering how people made it look so easy.

Talk to Meg [8/15]

After she tags in.

Re: Talk to Meg [8/15]

Meg was there and knitting something. She wasn't quite sure what it was going to turn out to be yet.

Talk to Tyler [8/15]

[tyler_gone]

He is, as he says, around.

The butterfly that had been lingering on Alice's shoulder for most of class was now on her hand.

"Excuse me, I believe Anemone is ..." She nodded to the butterfly. "Not able to participate in this week's activity."

OOC [8/15]

[tyler_gone]

I'm one of the game's non-knitters, so assume great handwaviness on any guidance Tyler gives.

And yes. The idea of Tyler Durden with a dildo cozy breaks my brain, too.
