-THIS IS A FREE SAMPLE-
-FOR MORE INFORMATION, VISIT THE LOCAL LIBRARY-
[Two more pictures come after that. First, a screenshot of the map of the city, the location of the library marked with a red spot. If you click on it, it will take you to your map app, the mark now there. Second, the last picture, this time a photo: it's the inside of the library. Next to the donations box, there's a pile of booklets, their cover being the first picture on this post. It seems they have around 30 pages each. And on top of them, a fat orange tabby cat sleeping. The internet likes cats, right?]

horrible 0/10

[jamjarnpc]

[teaserving]

still bad
0/10
at least i made animated pictures
what've you got
bad stock art that's what




i guess the otters are ok

[jamjarnpc]

And yet here you are, commenting on it. If I caught your attention, then I was successful.

[teaserving]

bad terrible i hate it im not asking for advice that's not what i do people come to me for some reason




wait origami i never thought of that shit

[jamjarnpc]

[So much for not needing that advice, huh? Leone is lucky Meteora isn't one to gloat... openly.]

Origami is an easy yet stylish type of art. You could decorate your café with your own creations, even maybe start a workshop that will attract clientele.

[teaserving]

sounds annoying
but learning cat origami would probably make some people happy

Oh, this is really nice. I think I could have used something like this when I first arrived.

[jamjarnpc]

Anything cat related is definitely good at making people happy.

[jamjarnpc]

Thank you for the compliment. I've definitely thought informational fliers would be very helpful for new arrivals. But it's never too late to learn - there's more to it if you wish for the full booklet.

What is 'twister' exactly?

[jamjarnpc]

Twister consists of a party game. A plastic mat with colored circles on it is lay down on floor, these circles come in four different colors. There's also a spinner, divided into four labeled sections: left foot, right foot, left hand, and right hand. Each of those four sections is divided into the four colors. A person is assigned to the spinner, and it will use it to give each player an instruction of how to move their hands and/or feet next. The game is about body coordination, and players that fall are out.

[She also attaches a video.]

[mingyues]

That sounds rather fun. Is this a game from your world?

[Okay, everything on this post looks, y'know, pretty normal. A few words and phrases that make no sense (the fuck is "cardiovascular") but. Uh.]

If "Twister" is anything like what that picture is, I'm not sure how it's "platonic".

[jamjarnpc]

[...oh dear. See, this is why she made that question about the meaning of home. Does Earth count as "her world"? WHO EVEN KNOWS ANYMORE.]

It existed in my second home, correct. I've found it here too under a different name, but with so many people from Earth, I thought a familiar name would look more approachable.

[jamjarnpc]

[Meteora replies in voice as well, only having used text to attach the pictures. Her tone is deadpan as always.]

It's not that different from wrestling - a game that deals with friendly touch. Managing coordination and avoiding bumping into other people. If the players involved want to take it beyond that, it's up to them.

[fogofdread]

It's a game? It looks like a mat with dots on it.

[mingyues]

It is very kind of you to share this, moonlacing can be difficult for some of us. Alternatives to it are very welcome.

Are you settling in well?

[jamjarnpc]

That's correct. And by using a spinner that comes with it, players get told on which dots they must put their hands and feet. It creates a sort of "human knot" - if you fall, you lose.

This is wonderful! I’m glad to see that we’re trying, as a community, to come up with more wholesome and creative methods of moonlacing.

[jamjarnpc]

Thank you. I've noticed that people, indeed, have trouble coming up with alternatives. And information flow is always important. Hopefully a simple booklet can help decrease panic about the subject.

I am, thanks for asking. This place isn't so bad once you establish a way to get a Chroma income in your daily routine. Working at a library used to be my old job, too, so that's a comforting position to be in. Familiar.

[jamjarnpc]

Thank you very much. Your observation is correct, I've also noticed the lack of creativity when it comes to Moonlacing, and many people getting anxious over it. Lunatia offers a variety of activities to take part of, and it's easy to start your own as well.

Ohh, every time the red moon rises I really feel like wrestling. I thought it was just me.

But this twister game could be fun too!

Who wants to go???
