Ferra (In response to Gami's post on pg. 612)  Obert, speechless, stared for a while at the flat heart Valerie had just cut out. He didn't quite understand what she expected to be done with it as it was most certainly not the right shape to form a plush strawberry.
"Maybe I should start first," Obert suggested trying hard to prevent a snicker.
He proceeded to pick a piece of red, almost dark pink, fabric with white spots evenly dotting the top side (it would be easier than adding the "seeds" later). He guessed a bit about the shaped he would need to make a strawberry and cut out the pieces accordingly. He selected a dark green fabric for the top.
"Why don't you cut the top for me?" he asked Valerie placing the fabric on the table in front of her while he started to stitch the red pieces together.(ended on page 620) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Not necessarily in the Plushie Event, but connected so I felt like tacking them on. ^^) Akkhima  Erin had had enough of the Plushie Workshop for now, and was ready to leave. He picked up his dragon plush and his frog plush and went to head back to his dorm room to put them away. He set them on a shelf above his desk and left the room.
He decided to head outside for a while, but as he passed by the student lounge room, he saw Winston Forrester sitting on a couch in there all by himself. Erin hadn't spoken to him much before, but knew him from being around him at the school. He leaned in through the doorway, "Hey Winston! Whatcha doing up here all by yourself?"Ogre  Winston's ears twitched as somebody said his name. He glanced towards them, eyes wide that they knew him.. but he had never seen them. "Oh, uhm... nothing. I was just half asleep, really." He was absently petting his tail, a nervous habit. "Do.. I know you?" XD;; Akkhima Erin laughed at Winston's question, "No, not really. Not yet. I've seen you around, though. My name's Erin. Erin Ravert. I'm not in your class, but we're the same grade." He entered the room and jumped over the back of the couch to sit next to Winston. "How come you didn't go to the Plushie Workshop? It was a lot of fun! Lots of cute girls there!" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kuyalu  Aivva eyed the classroom door for a long moment or two, fidgetting with the small bag of fabric scraps she'd collected to make her plushy with. She was having second thoughts about the whole thing.
It's not that she didn't want one, really, because she did. It was more that a part of her was in Major Fret Mode over whether people would think she was being silly and girly because she played with stuffed animals. (But it's different if you make it yourself, right?) she finally told herself, mentally. (Then it's craft. And skill, not clinging to toys.) Yeah, that's the ticket. She pushed the door open and went in before she could start dithering again.
Once there, of course, it was too late to back out (which was kind of the point of the sudden entry), and after a moment spent eyeing the seats for a good place to park herself, she headed towards an empty chair and plunked down on it. The scraps were emptied out on the desktop in front of her and she eyed them for a long moment. Okay...she's here... she's got....stuff, kinda. Now what? ....dangit. Okoyk  Alex entered the classroom. It seemed empty.. That didn't suprise her though. She did find out about the workshop a bit late. She saw materials scatted over the desks, wondering what kind of toys the others who were in here made. Alex sat down at a desk. She looked at the colour choices and started thinking about what she should make.
Kuyalu Aivva looked up as the classroom gained another occupant. It was that Monstrare girl she met briefly while looking for clovers outside. After a moment's thought, she clears her throat and offers a wave, before adding, "I didn't know you'd signed up for the workshop too... what are you going to make?" Honestly, Alex seemed like the least 'girly' girl Aivva knew, which made her feel a little better about being here herself. In the meantime, she picked through her scraps. Hn. Green. She likes green... (funny that.) Okoyk Alex noticed the green haird girl named Aivva she met out in the park earlier sitting down. "Oh hey Aivva." She smiled and waved back, feeling a little silly for being here, but at least she wasn't alone. Yeah. Alex sat down in a desk next to Aivva. "What am i going to make... Hmm, I-" She paused, "I dont know actually." She laughed, "Maybe a frog.. or a bird!" she said excitedly
Alex looked at the scraps on Aivva's desk, "What about you? What are you planning to make?" Kuyalu Aivva swung her legs a little. "Nnn. Don't know yet," she admits, though... hrm. "Maybe a griffin." Oh no. Nothing easy like a turtle or a frog for HER, never! Although... even she realizes that's probably too hard. "Or a dragon, maybe." She could make one with only two legs if the legs turn out to be hard to do, she reasons. Two legged dragons are fine, but people think you're weird if you have a two legged cat plushy or something. "I think a bird would be cool," she adds towards Alex, just in case she might need help making up her mind. Akkhima Erin wandered back past the plushie workshop room, and peeked in through the door, wondering who was around. He noticed that there were now two girls in the room that he hadn't seen in there before. He entered the room and snuck up behind them, peering over their shoulders as they discussed what to make. He smiled, they were pretty cute! "Good afternoon, ladies!" he said, suddenly. Kuyalu Aivva would ordinarily have noticed the newcomer, but she's so wrapped up in her plans, his arrival goes unseen. Let's see... this red scrap for the belly, this green velvet for the back... not enough green velvet. How about thi...
"AAGH!" Undignified? Well... yeah. But someone SNUCK UP ON HER! Of course, in doing so, he's going to have deal with her reaction to it... in this case, a preternaturally swift elbow swung backward sharply. Whether it connects or not, she stands and turns on her "assailant", frowning at him with her hands on her hips. "And what's the big idea?!" Grr, now you've done it. Akkhima Erin almost noticed the elbow coming straight for his stomach, but wasn't able to move in time, and got clipped well in the side. He buckled over slightly, clutching the place of impact. He let out a loud groan "urggh..." and scrunched up his face. It wasn't the hardest hit he'd ever felt, but when not expecting such a thing, it can really hurt.
When he saw the girl standing over him in a threatening manner, he tried to lighten the situation quickly and smoothly, "Hey, hey, take it easy!" he said with a smile that probably looked like a grimace through the pain, "I was just saying hello! I'm sorry I suprised you." cherubim kitty  The black haired girl entered the plushie workshop with a smile on her face. She had been looking forward to the class for a long time in hopes that she would finally be able to make something nice using her own to hands, and with a little help to make sure she wasn't hurt in the process. Veruvi and needles were a bad combination.
The first sight that greeted Veruvi was an unexpected one. A girl was standing over someone in a threatening manner as if there had been a ruckus earlier. There was another girl as well nearby. She blinked in surprise at the scene , "Um...is this the plushie workshop?"Kuyalu Aivva huffed a sigh at the guy as he backpedaled... it's a good thing the strike was glancing, she muses. All she needs is to hit someone -hard- on accident and then it's off to explain why she's abusing the other students.
"Well... just don't sneak up on me again..." she grumbles, but allows him grace in retreat. "I didn't mean to hit you, but you -did- startle me. Sorry." There's a glance towards yet another person coming in; she runs a hand over her grass-colored hair and heaves another sigh. This time, there's a smile, albeit kind of a 'nothing's going on here, move along, move along' sort of expression.
"Yeah, it sure is! Come on in and have a seat." Totally nothing amiss here! Just... ignore the guy she just kidney-jabbed over there. Ahem. Pi-sama  Eden had heard that there was a class of making plushies in workshop, she goes toward there with a lot of enthusiasm, She wants to learn how to make a horse plushie, white as the snow. With that thought she arrives before the door of the class to hear voices inside, happy that she won't be alone, she enters resolved. Inside she see several people but she recognizes Alex and Aivva, with a charming smile she goes up to where it is Alex to greet her and to sit down next to her.
Hello Alex , do you want learn how made a plushi?, im too!! her enthusiasm is reflected in her eyes.Okoyk Alex nodded at the other girl's words. //Aivva's making a dragon... Makes a bird look too easy...// She thought to herself. "I think I'll make Chimera." Now that she really thought about it, shes always liked Chimeras. And she didn't want to look soft.
For a few minuets she was fully engrossed in her plushie. Picking and choosing from the various colours. That she didnt even notice when a boy appeared out of nowhere behind them and spoke up. It was when Aivva yelled that she looked up and saw her swing backwards and hit the boy in the side. Okay well not totally hit, more like a graze, but still. It seemed enough to hurt.
Alex sat in her desk, quiet for a few moments but then bursted out laughing. "Sorry, sorry" She said towards the boy, "But that was really funny..." She 'ahemed' and tried to stiffle her laughter.
A new girl arrived just then. Alex nodded as Aivva explained that this was in fact the plushie workshop. Alex out of no where pointed at the girl. "Hey!" she said unexpectedly, and rather loudly. "Im Alex" She smiled at the girl and put her arm down.
Alex looked over at Eden, "Hey Eden. Yeah I can't wait till im finished. Ive never made anything before." She smiled at eden and picked up a needle, some black thread and some purple fabric to began trying to make a chimera. Yes. A purple Chimera.
Pi-sama Eden smiles to Alex's enthusiasm, she likes Alex, she is cheerful and amusing. while she speaks, she see pick up a needle and purple fabric.
me neither and i never made something like that before, mmm you have caught purple, beautiful color I want to make a white horse plushie She pick up a needle and look for fabric Pi-sama Eden finds the fabric that wants in white, she touch it and she finds enough soft, now she goes toward where the threads are and she begins to compare with the fabric until pick up a white thread that it don't see in the fabric, prefect for the seams.
So, Alex that you find this thread with the fabric, I believe that it is perfect to make some invisible seams she shows the fabric and the thread to Alex with concentrated expression. Akkhima Erin was taken aback by the sudden burst of laughter from the other girl, but her laughter was catching, and he started laughing, too. The whole thing was really funny. "I'm really sorry!" he said through fits of giggles, "I won't do it again! I just wanted to see what you were making." He rubbed at the spot she had hit, it would probably bruise, but the sharp pain had dulled already.
"I already made a couple of plushies, but they weren't very good." Kuyalu Aivva sighed gratefully as the kid she elbowed didn't seem inclined to hold it against her. Settling back into her chair, she offers, "I'm Aivva," to those incoming, lifting a hand to wave. "Nice to meet you all... I guess the workshop isn't going to be as empty as I thought!"
To Erin, she holds up a piece of dark green cloth, "I'm going to make a dragon," she explains with a smile. With...two legs, and wings." There's a specific term for such a beast, but... given that she can't remember it offhand, she just leaves it off. "But...enough talking. It's not gonna make itself, right?" She grins, then starts cutting out bits of fabric for the body and legs from the green cloth she'd been waving around. That done, she digs around for some green thread to start stitching it together again. "I've never done this before, but... you can't learn if you don't try, right?" And even if her plush is terrible, she's still going to keep it. Akkhima Erin smiled, "My name's Erin. Nice to meet you!" He watched her pick up some scraps of cloth, "You know, I made a dragon, too! I love things that can fly!" He smiled at her and sat down in the chair on the other side of her from the other girl. "I also made a frog... but they're both up in my room now." Pi-sama After showing the fabric and the thread to Alex, Eden goes to a great book of seam patterns, She begins to look for among their pages until finding the model of a horse plushie. Then she catches the fabric the other way around and the pattern draws in it carefully, she doesn't want to make a mistake. Once satisfied with the final drawing she goes toward some big scissors to begin to cut the fabric. Pi-sama Eden catches the scissors and she begin to cut the fabric slowly, first a figure and then another until having cut all the pattern's figures. Carefully she picks up the remnants of the fabric and the guard, it can that they are good for something. now with the figures already cut, she returns to the book to see as sewing one with other, she begins with a paw, first she threads the needle with the white thread. she picks up two of the eight pieces of the paws and she begins to sew the other way around with the fabric. once finished she gives the turn to the piece and the padded with cotton. and she makes this with each one of the paws, once finished the paws begin with the body. The body is easier it is as a great sack sewn around to the of a circular base, once finished the body and stuffed, Eden sews the paws to it.
yaiiiiiiiii, it already has a small form to horse she said so happily Akkhima Erin marveled at Eden. Where had she found that book of patterns? Had he completely missed that??? He wished someone had told him there were patterns to go off of, it would have made his endeavors so much simpler. Pi-sama Eden realizes somebody looking her, and she see a boy with the white hair as her and her smiles him kindly.
hello, I'm Eden, you like my plushie Okoyk "Im sure your plushies look awesome" Alex replied looking at Erin. She noticed that Eden was talking to her, as she looked up and saw her holding some special kind of thread. "Mmm thanks, but this black thread is good, I kinda like the way seems look."
She watched Eden draw her shapes and then cut them out. Alex looked down at her own progress and heaved a slight sigh. "I have no idea what im doing..." she winned more or so to herself than to anyone else. "Lets see... if I put this here... and sew it together here..." She mumbled. After much effort she held up.. uh.. what seemed to be a somewhat mishapened purple bird. "Almost done!" Alex exclaimed feeling acomplished.
//Alls I need now is some pink buttons for eyes and to add the beak and feet.// She thought to herself, looking around the classroom
Akkhima "Nice to meet you, Eden. My name's Erin." He smiled. "Yours looks very good. You seem to know what you're doing much better than I did. Mine came out pretty uneven... but I didn't even know there was a pattern book over there! That probably would have helped!" he laughed nervously. "Have you done this before? You seem so skilled." Pi-sama Eden almost has all the sewn parts, alone she has to unite them and the last details. she begins to look for for the class something of white wool to make the tail and the mane of her plushie. she finds the wool and she begins to cut pieces of the same measure.
When she thinks that she already has enough she begins to sew the wool to the plushie, once finished, she goes to the buttons' box to choose two to make the eyes. " looks at these two clear blue buttons they are perfect for the eyes" she pick up the buttons and go to sew their to the plushie.
she begins to sew all the parts, it seems that her finished her horse plushie, but she even gets up to look for some pink thread becouse she wants to embroider something to the horse. With the pink thread Eden embroiders the nose and a butterfly back right haunch of the horse. Now she is happy with her result.
" hey, i finish my horsy, look at it!! Akkhima "Wow... that's incredible! It's like a professional one you'd buy in the store!" Erin was really amazed at this delicate girl's skill. He leaned forward to look at the horse more closely. "And it didn't take you very long at all... wow." He smiled at her, he just couldn't help being impressed. "Are you going to make another one? The information on the poster said we could make up to three each." Pi-sama Eden blushes when hearing the compliment of Erin, " Thanks Erin, can that you didn't see the book of patterns because I brought it of the library when I came" she made a gentil smile " I like to sew, I will make other but i dont know if a rabbit or teddy bear, that you prefer" she said smiling Akkhima "Oh, no wonder I didn't see it before! That's smart of you to come prepared," Erin felt sheepish. "I think you should make a rabbit next," he stated. "Is there a pattern for a rabbit in that book of yours?" He really wanted to look through her book and see all of the patterns. Pi-sama "Mmmmmmmmm a rabbit alright but this time I want it of color peach" she thinks that a rabbit peach can be very cute " of course you can see the book, i think the title said " the big pet plushie book" for this i bring the book here" she smile gentil to Erin Akkhima "That would be adorable! You're so creative." He smiled back at her and took the book. He looked through the pages and marveled at all of the different plushes there were to make. He saw that there were actually three different types of bunny patterns in the book, and he picked one and pointed it out to Eden, "I think you should make this one, in peach like you said." Pi-sama " yes , is so cute , thanks Erin for your help" she smile and hug Erin "Can you help me in this plushie?" She smile so kindly Okoyk "There we go" Alex sighed, feeling acomplished. As she put the need down. And double check that she had put the eyes on correctly. She had to admit, it came out fairly well. She felt so proud of herself as she set her purple bird on the desk and looked at it.
She glanced over and saw Erin and Eden talking. Eden had finished her horse. And what an adorable horse at that. "Aww your plushie came out so well." Alex complimented as she got up to go take a closer look at it, bringing her birdy along with her. Pi-sama Eden hears Alex when she finishes and she rotates her head to see her plushie, then she hears the compliment of Alex and she blushes.
" thanks Alex, i like you purple bird, now i go to made a peach bunny" she said with a gentil smile Akkhima "Waaahhh? You want my help? I'm flattered!" Erin exclaimed. "Maybe if you teach me how, I could be of some help." Just then, Alex had come over and Erin turned to her, "Oh wow! look at the pretty birdy! That's a beautiful color! Plushies seem to come out so much cuter when sewn by cute girls," Erin remarked, putting on the charm. Pi-sama " of course i want you help, you find the pattern" Eden seems pensive, she puts her index finger in her cheek, until she think something " Erin can draw the pattern in the fabric while I pick up the thread and the buttons" Eden knows, it will be the most beautiful of all because they will make it among all. her enthusiasm is reflected in her face making her shine. Akkhima "Oh! I'd be very good at that. Drawing is one of my specialties." He went to find a piece of peach fabric that was big enough for the pattern, and spread it out in front of him at the table. He carefully and acurately redrew the pieces from the book on to the fabric, just like the book said to. "I'm done," he said, proudly. Okoyk Alex smiles "Aww thanks you guys." She shifted her weight, and leaned on her left leg. "Hmm, Any suggestions on what kind of plushie i should make next?" She said, thoughtfully as she watched Erin draw the patterns onto the fabric for Eden.
"Oh wow, that looks just like the one in the book" Alex said leaning over a bit. "I give it a thumbs up!", and she did so with a smile. Pi-sama While Erin draws Eden brings two scissors and white thread to cut and to sew the pattern's pieces, when she arrives near Erin she marvels of the very and quick that draws Erin, for sure this plushie will be stupendous.
"Wow Erin this is so good, now to cut the piece"she gives a scissor to Erin and she begins to cut Akkhima Erin almost blushed at the compliment as he took the second pair of scissors from Eden. He began to cut the pieces, still not sure how to avoid being covered with the fluffy clippings from the fake fur. He watched Edn cout out the pieces for a moment, and notice how gently and carefully she cut, taking tiny snips and not letting the scissors go far from the solid backing. He slowed down his cutting and took the same care she was taking, and was suprised to find he was no longer sending wisps of fuzz into his own face. Okoyk Still unable to think of what to make next, Alex decides to sit back down. She looks around the room, maybe she could get an idea from something. She picks up the needle and starts fiddling around with it while thinking. Pi-sama Eden smiles when seeing the faces that Erin puts sewing, she sees Alex sit down and she tells her:
Eden smiles when seeing the faces that Erin puts sewing, she sees Alex sit down and she tells her
" Hey Alex because you don't look in the book, perhaps you find something that you like " she smiles kindly to Alex Pi-sama Eden picks up all the pieces cut by her and Erin. Then she begins to sew and to stuff them, slowly piece for piece begins to have form. She begins to sew all the parts meetings, it already has the form of a cute peach rabbit. she leaves the plushie in the table and she goes toward the box of bottons to choose some for the eyes. she has two different colors in her hands but at the end she opts for the light pink bottons. already sewn the eyes, to the lack of the final touch, she has the pink thread that it is uses to embroider the nose of the bunny and two E intertwined in bunny back part. she lifts the plushie in her hands, she is happy and she shows it to Erin.
" look Erin!! I have embroidered our initials because we have created it together" she smile kindly [ The Fool ]  Cybille rose her eyebrows at the two plushies which were now placed side by side. One was a carnation while the other was an orchid. Time to make the final plushie.. something a little different. An angel with wings. She was prepared for the difficulties and constant mistakes but nevertheless, her hand outstretched for the nearest buttons which were white, brown and black. The three white buttons will be for its shirt pattern, two browns for his shoes and two blacks for its eyes. She planned it all in her head quietly.SomethingGood Eiten entered the classroom, his idea for a plushie all planned out in his mind. He just didn't want to have to make it in front of other people...
He found a seat, and looked around, a bit unsure of what he had to do. But he wasn't about to ask for help, so he picked up a needle and red thread, and busied himself with threading the needle for now. [Hyssop] Engle was listening to music like usual and entered the classroom. He walked around the tables and chairs and finally found a seat right at the back.
"Du du du duu du" he whistled softly and sat down. On the table was already filled with needle, buttons and thread so he just got hold ontoa needle and slowly, concentrating to thread it into the tiny hole of the needle but it is hard as the music booms into his ear. [ The Fool ] Her sensitive ears picked up the footsteps of two individuals and watched them enter the room. She studied the first one with short brown who was threading a red thread through his needle. Then the second was a hamster sort of boy who seemed to be having trouble threading his own string through. Cybille rose an eyebrow and returned her eyes onto the almost completed arm piece, it was a fair skin color. And there was to do.. was to stuff the cotton in then continue on sewing up the rest of the body. SomethingGood Once he had threaded the needle - which was much easier than he had expected - he started to look through some fabric that was there. No...no...no...what the heck is that? He thought while looking through the fabric. He picked up the strange fuzzy pink fabric he'd seen, looked at it with disgust, then put it back where it had come from. He finally fished out the right fabric - a light brown fabric that would be just right. He then looked around for scissors, but couldn't find them on his desk. He looked at the other two people in the room, then back in front of him. Dangit...he thought before standing and going to the girl. "Do you have any scissors? I can't find any." [Hyssop] Engle was still busy concentrating on putting the thread into the hole. After many tries, he finally got it. He pull the thread till it was quite long and tie a knot. "Phew, finally..." he said with a sigh and stretched his arm.
After leaving the needle on the table, he flipped through the stack of cloth. "Nope, nope, nope. Ah, here it is." he said to himself and pulled a red cloth out. He took a pencil out of his pocket and started drawing two long rectangle on it. [ The Fool ] Her fingers worked patiently at the dead knots which attached the clothes of the plushie. It was a soft-greenish color mixed with swirly yellow patterns. The white buttons held the 'dress' together and sort of gave it a girlish look. Perfect. A satisfied smile lifted her lips upwards but just as quickly fell back to a straight line when she heard someone directing a question towards her. Cybille then turned her head towards where the sound was coming from, and saw the boy who had just entered the room.
"Oh." Her eyes darted towards her own. It was strange how he could not find the scissors, after all, they were all alligned along the table. "Here." She took her scissors and outstretched it to him. Her hand was grasping onto the sharp metal part while the handle faced the boy, just in case anyone was to run into him and he falling start for it.. SomethingGood Eiten took them quickly and went back to his table, only mumbling a small 'thank you' as he walked away.
He sat down with a thud, then set the scissors down and picked up a pen, thinking for a moment. He needed to figure out how he'd make it...he had never done this, after all. After a moment, he leaned over the desk, nose almost touching the desk as he drew out the shapes he needed to cut. [Hyssop] Engle noticed the movement happening in the classroom but he just turn his head, back to the cloth and started cutting carefully.
After cutting the two shapes out, Engle laid one of the cloth ontop of the other, matching the sides and corner and started sewing. The first few stitch was difficult as he haven't tried it before. After sewing one side of the two cloth and turned it the other way around, so now the sewed area was on the inside and started sewing the other three sides. [ The Fool ] Her eyes lowered while the side of her mouth twitched at the boy's response. At least he could act a little bit more thankful. She grumbled quietly and continued on making the other arm for the plushie. Cybille took the already snipped piece of skin colored cloth and stitched them together with the white thread. In the back of her mind, she wondered how she will make the hair and actually did think of leaving the poor thing bald. [Hyssop] After the sides are neatly sewed, he took the scissors and started snipping the area before the thread, making it look like a wollen scarf. "There, one down, four more to go. " He gave a sigh and pulled a grey cloth out from the stack. He started marking out a Tee-shirt design and made a exact copy of it beside the first. Just when he was about to cut the cloth, he found that the scissors that he was using was gone. "Where is that thing..." He moaned, irritated.
After quite sometime, he decided to borrow it from the girl infront. "Urm...hey. My scissors seems to have dropped and disappeared. Can I borrow yours?" he ask, his head looking down, his body swaying side by side. [ The Fool ] Her needle peeked through the stitched piece of the plushies shoes and curved around once again to make another knot. Finally adding the brown bottom on the top, she used her fairly sharp teeth and bit the thread apart. It looked somewhat professional, thanks to her long years of experience.. Cybille could always go on without a pair of scissors, since she did manage that once when sewing a nice wooly jacket for herself. Though I wouldn't have made so many mistakes if I did have one.
As she was about to start on the head, her hand immediately stopped and her eyes darted towards whomever was disturbing her again. The elf furrowed her eyebrows as she looked at the hamster boy while her mind registered his question. "Terribly sorry. But I let him." She pointed at the brown haired lad. "Borrow it. Are you quite sure it is not at your station?" A second time someone lost their equipment? That was odd. Perhaps a thief was having fun picking at other people's table. [Hyssop] "Oh..." Engle said in a sort of dissapointed voice. "I double checked but it is still not there. I swore it was there before I put it down.". He just stood there for a few moments before moving his stuff next to the girl incase he needed something else. [ The Fool ] Cybille raised an eyebrow at his movements and frowned slightly at how part of her space was being taken. No matter. She shook her head then resumed working on the head of the plushie. "Did you check between your sheets of cloth?" The elf spoke without looking at him since she was watching where her needle was stabbing into. [Hyssop] Engle started using the scissors on his new table. "Yup..." he says slowly, not paying much attention. The needle pierce through the cloth and he started sewing the collar and the base area. [ The Fool ] Huffing quietly, her lips clamped shut. The base for the head was done, so she went on to sew the black buttons as eyes. As for the hair, Cybille planned to not make any since it would look a little strange with the wrong materials. Back and forth, back and forth the needle went as it poked through the cloth and the stuffing inside. It had no mouth, no nose, just two beady big eyes. "And what might you be making?" She asked softly. [Hyssop] Engle sewed on patterns on the red scarf and put the needle on the table. "Well, I'm making a plushie of myself." He gave a smile and continue sewing the shirt together. "My name is Engle, by the way." [ The Fool ] Her expression stayed the same as her head tilted slightly to look at the boy once more. Sky blues went half closed as she finally replied after a moment or two. "I see.. and it's nice to meet you Engle. I'm Cybille, Cybille Jardin." She returned her gaze onto the many strips of white cloth laid in front of her. Well, that meant the wings were going to take quite a long time. "I work at the local clinic. As you probably could tell from my uniform." [Hyssop] Engle didn't really like going to clinic, all the check up, he always feel uncomfortable with it. "Ah, interesting job." His droopy, grey eyes just stared at the piece of cloth that lay there right infront of him. Engle is thinking about how to make his hair and ears onto the doll and how he was going to make the base. [ The Fool ] She nodded her head once, unsure and not really bothered as to whether that comment was sarcastic or not. Cybille sewed the pieces of cloth together with the white thread. Using her teeth once more, she bit the string off and tied a knot. Her attention was caught just as she was done and turned towards Engle, expressing much curiousity by her body language. "Might you need some help?" [Hyssop] "Hmm...? Yea, sure." Engle says softly. He sat up properly, pushing his chair in. He took out some beich coloured cloth and showed it to Cybille. "I can't make the doll base..." [ The Fool ] Cybille smiled slightly and took the cloth from his hands. "Here, I'll teach you." She positioned herself so she would be facing Engle directly. Then, she used the scissors on the other table and snipped the cloth into two roundish and long shaped sheets."Firstly, I usually start with the arms. Sew them together like you normal do, inside and then flip outwards. There are cottom bits for you to stuff the doll with." [Hyssop] Engle took the cloth from Cybille's hand and started sewing. He sewed it carefully as it will be his first hands on work. After some time, he was finally done. Engle push his finger on the closed end towards the open end, fliping it over. After that, he left the piece of cloth arm on the table and started working on the other. Soon, he finished both and stuffing them both with cotton. [ The Fool ] Cybille watched Engle quietly and patiently as he set out to work. Her eyes studied and observed everything he was doing until he was finally finished. Clapping her hands together, she took another piece of cloth and made the legs as well as the body to fit the proportions. "Here we are. You can sew those up." [Hyssop] Engle took the pieces again and started sewing. It was getting harder and harder as his eyes started to droop. Without knowing, Engle accidentally p***k his finger with the needle. "Ow, ow, ow..." he says and started sucking on the wound. [ The Fool ] Cybille jumped a little in her seat and immediately took out his finger from his mouth. "Be careful.. and we should wash that up. Sucking on it won't do any good. I have some alcohol and a bandaid in hand, so we could wrap that wound of yours." She stood up from her chair, leading Engle out of the room gently by grabbing his wrist and headed towards the corridors. [Hyssop] Engle got up slowly, following Cybille out of the room. "What about the doll? I'm not done with it" he says, with sort of a child temper. As he walks throught the corridor, his scarf just followed, flowing peacefully behind him. [ The Fool ] "We can finish that later dear. It won't run away." She looked over her shoulder and winked at him. When they arrived in front of the bathrooms, Cybille poked her head into the girl's and peered around. It was a good thing no one was around, though she thought it would not really matter since Engle was still a kid after all. Opening the door with her free hand, she pulled the boy in and walked directly towards the sink. She turned on the tap and ran water onto his wound. [Hyssop] "Eww...I'm in a girl toilet." Engle said, with a disgusted look. His face sort of scrunched up together in a bunch when the tap water hit onto his wound. "Ow..." [ The Fool ] "Now now." She squeezed his hand a little just to tell him to behave himself. After a few seconds, Cybille pulled away from the tap and dried it with a piece of tissue. Once done, she took the alcohol tabber and quickly applied it onto the wound before wrapping it around with the bandaid finally. [Hyssop] "Fine..." he says, looking around. He wasn't paying any attention to the nurse lady till the coolness of the alchohol touches his skin. After his wound was wrapped in bandaid, he bow down slightly. "Thanks." [ The Fool ] Cybille straightened her posture since she had to bend in order to nurse his wound. When the boy bowed, she smiled a little and gave a pat on his head. "You're welcome. Now lets go back. And be careful the next time, alright?" [Hyssop] "Yes Mam" Engle said with a energetic voice and gave a salut. He tugged Cybille along as he walked towards the exit. [ The Fool ] She smiled once more and allowed him to bring her towards the exit, then soon out of the bathroom they went. For a second, Cybille felt as if she was a mother of that boy but quickly shook it off. She would not dare think about children at her age. Her ears twitched slightly when another woman had crossed their paths and stared at Engle, wondering why in God's name was he inside in a female's powder room. ".. He is with me Madam." The elf took her gaze, raising an eyebrow. [Hyssop] Engle stared at the woman that look at him and stuck his tounge out at him. "Yeah...". He started walking faster and faster, sometime spinning around for no reason. [ The Fool ] The elf gave a wave towards the woman who folded her arms at Engle's response and apologized half heartedly. She then moved on and watched the hamster boy with much interest as he kept on spinning. "Careful. You don't want to get all dizzy and bang into one of the pillars." Cybille spoke loud enough for him and only him to hear. [Hyssop] "Whee! This is so...so...woah." Engle started wobbling and fall down onto the floor. "Phew, That's tiring." he says and started giggling to himself. "Do do do, so boring..." he says softly, to himself. He forgotten about the doll he was making. [ The Fool ] Cybille chuckled and bent down to help Engle up. "See?" A smile crossed her lips as she ruffled his hair once more. "And I suppose you don't remember that plushie of yourself you were going to make?" Seeing a little dirt on his cheek, she wiped it off slowly and brushed his shirt down. [Hyssop] Engle stares in the air for awhile. "Ah yes, the plushie. Hehe" he combed his hair back down. He sat up and gave a sneeze. "Excuse me"
Engle got up and started tugging Cybille's arm and walk towards the class room. [ The Fool ] "Bless you dear." She took in a deep breath as she was pulled once more and waited till they entered the room. Almost everyone had left, seeing how it was getting rather late. Cybille snapped her head in the direction of their tables and smiled, she was glad that their plushies were still there. "Lets continue then." She headed towards her seat and sat down. [Hyssop] "Okay." Engle said and sat down onto the chair. I put on his headphone and started listening to the music. Not long after, he started to hum but still, he manages to complete sewing the pieces together and stuff them with cotton. [ The Fool ] Seeing how Engle has moved on to his own world, she went on to finish her angel plushie and sewed the wings on. They were quite small but still fit the equaly tiny body of the doll. Cybille place it on the table next to the rest of her creations and smiled with satisfaction. Hopefully mother will like this, father too. Obviously quite happy, she tidied the items and looked over to the boy next to her to see how he was doing. [Hyssop] Engle started to draw two circle shape for the head and started cutting it out. After the shape was cut out, he started sewing it all the way and left a gap to flip it over and to stuff the cotton. Once he was done stuffing, he turn his head towards Cybille. "How do I sew this." [ The Fool ] "Ah.. that's simple." She took the filled open head and began to thread through rather slowly. Cybille inserted her finger into the hole in order to support it from falling or sinking in, she knew that from past failures with soft toys. "After this.. we carefully do three loops." Which was what she did. "And we are done." She snipped the string and handed the head back to Engle. [Hyssop] Engle watched closely as Cybille closes the soft, flimsy head up. "So that's how it is done." he said to himself. "So..what happen next?" [ The Fool ] Cybille blinked a few times and pondered what else was there really to do besides but everything together? "Well.." She placed the head on top of the body but it fell off the moment she let go. "You need to combine the pieces in order to make a complete plushie." She smiled softly and pointed towards the needle with the thread through its tiny hole. "You can do that, I assume?" [Hyssop] "Urm...heh...Not really" he gave a smile and look down to the floor. "But I'm sure I can learn quickly.". [ The Fool ] "Oh. I see." She took the parts of the plushie and started to work on it. First were the arms, then the legs and finally the head. Everthing was attached by a few loops of the thread and many dead knots in order to keep them intact. Cybille showed the doll to Engle and smiled some, hoping he got the idea of how to make a complete plushie. [Hyssop] "Ah, I see..." Engle look at the doll and took it. He placed it on the table and helped it wear his grey tee-shirt with dark grey undershirt. He also helped tie the red scarf onto it. "Just the jean and shoe to go. Oh, his eyes and hair also." [ The Fool ] She lowered her eyes as she thought about the other items that were needed to be woven. "Well, we could use the buttons for the eyes. As for the jeans, the blue cloth would be fine. Shoes, the brown cloth and some stuffings would do it." Cybille furrowed her eyebrows as she wondered how they were going to make the hair. That was definately going to be a little difficult. [Hyssop] Engle fell asleep on the spot when she was listing all the stuff. He was already tired when he came into the room and now, his body can't take it anymore. [ The Fool ] "Dear me." Cybille let out a quiet sigh and just went on to finish off the items for Engle since he was clearly not awake. She cut out the shapes for the part of jeans as well as the shoes on different colored cloths, snipping them out and adding patterns to it. Leaving that aside, the elf pinned down and sewed two black buttons onto the plushie's face for the eyes. Children these days.. they tire so easily. She remembered the times where she managed to stay up for three days without sleep, just because her friend dared her to. SomethingGood Eiten blinked, then realized he needed another piece of fabric. So he reached into the pile and searched around, trying to find a piece of red plaid fabric. Once he'd found it, he pulled it out and drew out the exact size of the pieces he needed. He picked up the scissors and cut them out, then picked up his threaded needle and began to sew the strips of fabric together for a scarf. A teddy bear with a scarf...how original. He thought to himself, smiling a bit and shaking his head with a sigh. [ The Fool ] Well, it appears that she was pretty much done with the plushie of Engle, therefore she placed the finished doll next to him and packed her own things. Cybille stood up and turned around to find the brown haired boy still there. I wonder what he possibly could be making. Her eyes darted around his table for answers as her usual expression washed over her face. She should be returning to the clinic soon to check up on a few documents or so. SomethingGood After a few pricked fingers that he seemed not to notice, he had finally finished the scarf. He sighed in mild annoyance that he'd taken so long on it, and that the needle had poked him so much. He set the scarf aside, then pulled the light brown fabric toward him which had the shapes drawn out on it. He took the scissors and cut them out, then set them down. Okay...now just to figure this out. [ The Fool ] Tilting her head to the side, she decided to have a closer look and headed off towards his table. She had left her plushies on her table since she pretty much figured no one was going to take hers away, especially with Engle sleeping there. Her hands were placed behind her back as she walked near him, but not too close, and observed carefully. ".. Might you need some help with that?" She asked quietly while looking down at the scarf. It was rather well made, she admitted. SomethingGood Eiten looked up quickly at the girl who he'd borrowed scissors from, blinking at her. Help...? No. He thought. But...I can't really figure this out, sooo....he thought for a moment, then sighed again. "Yeah." he answered simply, looking back at the pieces of fabric in front of him. [ The Fool ] Cybille nodded her head and leaned over to look at the pieces of cloth. She was not sure of what he wanted to make so it was best to ask him. "So, what do you wish to make?" She placed her hands firmly onto the side of the table as she awaited his answer. Anyway.. what time is it? I'm sure the moon will be up pretty soon.. These children should be returning home soon. Her eyes flew over to the open window for a moment to look out for the sun. (Page 854?)
