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

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."

"Good," she nodded. She was still watching his fingers, carefully, even as her mind went wandering once again. "You know, I don't believe I know. Perhaps we could find out. Send a decoy cat in to report back to us. Or perhaps they're only hoping to make the cats admit defeat. There, conquered you again, say uncle and we'll let you go. Their strategy doesn't appear to be working."

With Alice, bizarre topics just sort of ... happened.

Well, it seemed to be distracting him and he stopped flailing about over it, moving slowly like she'd said. The knitting was definitely way too tight, but he hadn't tied himself to the needles... yet. "Or maybe the cats just have a strategy of themselves and they're just trying to make the yarn get overly confident."

"So the eager kitten was actually a quite savvy spy?" she grinned. "He must have been terribly upset at taking orders, to know he had to appear dim to his colleagues. But then, it's a small sacrifice in the greater good of the yarn/cat war."
