vi. idle hands

[autos_da_fe]

[ Axel's only been here for two months, but he's already accumulated quite a bit of... well, trash, some of which he hasn't thrown out, but cleaned instead.

And since lately, he's had nothing better to do, you get to see a few glass jars that he's half-filled with tin cutouts of stars and circles and diamonds, or beads made out of soup label

...what is that?

[autos_da_fe]

A few weeks' worth of boredom.

[jawbite]

You could have done something more productive. Like killing monsters.

[autos_da_fe]

Maybe in the spring, when it's warm.

[ineuphony]

--?

What's that?

[autos_da_fe]

It's what happened to my trash. There's nowhere else to put it.

[ineuphony]

But what about that right there?

[Meaning the piano.]

[autos_da_fe]

It's a fine string instrument. [ taps a couple 'keys' and hums along ]

[Olette laughs quietly.]

Well those are interesting!

[ voice ]

[autos_da_fe]

Would you like something, Olette?

[ he's got too much time on his hands ]

[ voice ]

[alwayscheering]

Huh? Something from that pile?

[ voice ]

[autos_da_fe]

Anything, as long as I could make it out of cardboard or tin.

[crippledroyalty]

[Pinged!]

You do origami, too?

[autos_da_fe]

Origami? [ he just folds things. Cranes are easy. ]

[crippledroyalty]

The cranes.

[autos_da_fe]

Is that what they're called?

[dontcallmegol]

Huh... someone's been busy.

Guess that's one way to make something useful out of your junk. {Read as: He's impressed.}

need more grin icons

[autos_da_fe]

Or, I could have built a ship. How's your brother's coming?

[dontcallmegol]

Hey now, don't give him all the credit. He wasn't even around for when we started the thing.

Buuuut he is the Captain.

It's going surprisingly well. It survived the blizzard and everything. Hopefully when it's warmer we can set sail.

whoa where are your freckles

[autos_da_fe]

Think you'll get anywhere outside of this city?
