Cowboy Crafts Corner
Who: Okie and you!
What: Quilting, sewing lessons, and being weirdly okay about dying
When: Early January
Where: The buffet
Come one, come all to the Cowboy Crafts Corner! Your host, Okie, has placed a quickly made poster or two around the ship, and has set up shop on a bunch of pushed together buffet tables one quiet evening. Among the supplies to be found are a huge pile of Tommy Bahama shirts, collected in armfulls over the course of several days, a set of square plates borrowed from the diner, a handful of markers, one pair of scissors, two steak knives, and every sewing kit he could find in the general store.
The theme of this day's project will be quilting! There will be stations for stenciling, where participants will use the plates and markers to mark squares in the shirts, cutting, where participants will use one sharp implement or another to cut said squares out of the shirts, and sewing, where the individual squares will be made into other, much bigger squares. Okie will be keeping tabs on the stock of shirts available for disassembly and offering assistance or teaching around the sewing stations.
The main rule is to have fun! Secondary rules include not using the cutting implements on any other participants and telling Number 6 if he asks that Okie really promises to clean up after and return the plates and knives.

A question you ask when you've never seen someone who looks like a walking storm before.
no subject
[Okie checks around them to make sure that everybody is absorbed in their tasks.] I... was once made into a storm system by something powerfully magical. An' anyone with enough ability to see magic can see the, uh, traces of that experience.
no subject
[He keeps his voice low, keeping track of their surrounding with hearing and smell. As someone who keeps his own nature as vague as possible, he's not about to spill other people's secrets.]
Something powerfully magical... not human?
[He never thought he'd be able to see magic. Natsuno sees himself as a supernatural creature, but not necessarily magical. Then again, the shade in his body was able to tap into something... maybe he does have some unrealized potential.]
no subject
[He gives his interrogator a glance, noting how... purple he is. And how it also somehow doesn't look dyed.]
If you don't mind me askin' you obviously gotta have somethin' of your own goin' on if you're seein' past the Mask.
no subject
He considers for a moment before replying:]
I'm a vampire. [He usually uses the vague "shiki," a term unfamiliar to anyone outside Sotoba, but Okie is not exactly human. It's easier with non-humans.] I had no idea I can see through a "mask", though.
no subject
[Okie has not been magic long enough to be ready for "vampires are real". He actively chokes down a slew of questions.]
So you, uh, just see me out here an' get curious, or you had eyes on me a minute?
no subject
Just saw you and got curious.
[Should he tell Okie he'd seen his dead body, a still white cloud? Probably not, that's creepy.]
I don't stalk passengers, you know.
[That's a fucking lie, but he doesn't do it to prey on them like the shiki back home would, he does it to make sure his friends don't get murdered.]
