dear sweet Moller.........

Shoka shuffles over to take a look at Catrina's tutorial. It's surprisingly easy to follow (and she realizes that the worm part actually looks a little familiar) and—wait, what was that last part?

"... Fingers. As in actual fingers? Like off a hand?"

She gives her own set of ghostly fingers a demonstrative wiggle.

Beloved Moller...shall we have these goobers make Moller? :o

[gimmeeyeballs]

Over the moon and back, Catrina was thrilled to see that Shoka had the mythical forbidden fingers of lore in the Bay! This was amazing news and perfect for making the worm on the strings!

"Exactly and that's perfect! Shall we make the worm on the string?"

This will definitely make the pom pom balls part easier for the building of the worm on a string! Come on Catrina's lucky stars....

absolutely!

[telewarped]

"Oh. You just meant..." She lowers her hand, eyes flitting away in a manner that looks vaguely embarrassed. "Never mind."

She... might have thought for a second there that Catrina meant to include severed fingers in the crafting process. Somehow. How would they even be incorporated? As worm bones?

A-anyway...! Shoka's fingers are more claw than finger, really, but they're surprisingly dexterous and delicate when she needs them to be. They'll work just fine for crafting.

"I already said I'm down, didn't I? So do you already have your own yarn, or...?"

If not, she doesn't mind taking some from her own personal supply. Obtaining yarn in Bottlecap Bay may not be as easy as taking a trip to a craft store, but she has her ways (namely bartering and doing chores in exchange for it, or spinning some from shed Pokémon fur herself after learning how to last spring).

Yay XD Moller is a comin'!

"Well yeah, making pom pots with." Catrina pauses before adding this darling dandy detail: "Though no judgement, heard some folks like eating them like frites. Just add buttery garlic seasonings on it."

Worm bones....a new project for Catrina to add to her little necromancy list of sorts once she's back home and not a candle beast thing.

Those were the most badass looking claws though, Catrina was a bit jealous of that one. Why couldn't she still keep the claws and hand-tail? Maybe even the toxic flesh...nevermind she has acid coat, Catrina is good on that front.

"Hey, had to test yah to make sure you didn't back out on making worm on a strings."

.....THAT WAS WHAT CATRINA WAS FORGETTING! Upside, Catrina stole found a good cord for the body base! "I got a good center string for the worms! You got yarn?"

[telewarped]

"Gross," Shoka replies flatly.

No judgment from Catrina, but plenty of judgment from Shoka, apparently.

In any case, back to the topic of crafting! Shoka snorts.

"Pfft! You showed up here to craft with me, and you don't even have your own yarn? Were you hoping you'd get a chance to steal from my stash this whole time, or what?"

She's still clearly in a good mood; the thought doesn't even seem to offend her all that much. Whether that was Catrina's actual plan or not, it will be a success.

"Either way—hell yeah, I've got yarn. C'mon." With that, Shoka starts to move, guiding Catrina toward the communal den where her aforementioned stash is currently being kept. "Honestly, the worm you drew looks kind of familiar... But it's called something different where I'm from."

[gimmeeyeballs]

Well Catrina's magical skills of assumption saved her semi-melty wax based buns right there as she follows Shoka along for the crafting stash!! Maybe they can make the fabled giant worm on a string...it'd be majestic...

Sure, Catrina has been doing fine in terms of clay but...can you really cuddle a clay worm on a string? Can you really cuddle that!?

...Okay Catrina might be able too, but it's not the same thing.

"Woah, for real? What were worm on a string called where you're from?"

This was news to Catrina, then again, a lot of things have been news to Catrina since arriving to Bottlecap Bay.

[telewarped]

"Mōrā. I've seen 'em in videos a few times. I guess you're supposed to do magic tricks with 'em or something?"

She scurries her way into one of the dens, where a (completely unexplained) cellarette sits with a large, black bag set atop it. And inside the bag... a collection of yarn! It's isn't a huge selection, but there are a variety of colors and textures to choose from.

[gimmeeyeballs]

It was more than Catrina could've hoped for as she checks out the selection of yarns to use for the worm on a string. Cat's pretty engrossed by the amazing sight of it as the rusted gears started to creak from turning in her mind.

"Fun question time, think we can make a giant one and see if we do giant magic tricks with?"
