017- [action] And things are quiet once again....

[springtime4me]

[This week in mayfield had been especially rough on everyone. Hitler was no exception. Since the only other person in his house was a robot, he'd decided it was safer to drink the milk himself. So he went down every morning, snagged a bottle, and hid in his room. Every day. And every day, he'd gotten the poison. So he'd been dead for most of the week.


But he's trying not to think about that. Today, he just wants to relax a little. Which is why he's in the park  with his sewing supplies. He appears to be making tiny, stuffed sheep. And he's tying different colored ribbon around thier necks. With different little charms on them. They're pretty cute, actually. And he's just putting the finishing touches on one right now.]


There. All done.



I wonder who I should give this one to...?

[He smiles, clearly pleased.]

Thank you. Would you like one?

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

I'd love one! I'm Marisa.

[springtime4me.livejournal.com]

My name is Adolf. It's nice to meet you.

[Normally, he'd use his full name so as not to be misleading. But this has been a trying week, and he really doesn't want to deal with he lengthy explanations this time. Besides, she only gave her first name, so it's probably okay.]

What's your favorite color?

[He begins looking through a bunch of different colored ribbons in his sewing basket.]

[Marisa sits down next to him and grins.]

Oh, I guess black's my favorite color, but after that it'd be yellow. How come you made so many sheep?

[springtime4me.livejournal.com]

Black, huh? And yellow....

[He selects a black ribbon and a small yellow bell. They both wind up adorning the neck of a fluffy sheep doll, which he hands to Marisa.]

They're called 'Almighty Dollies.' Where I come from, we consider them good luck charms.

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

[Okay, that is the most adorable thing ever. She takes it with a girlish giggle and rubs her cheek against it.]

So cute~ I think everyone here could use a little good luck. You're really nice, ze.

[springtime4me.livejournal.com]

Th- thank you.

[He blushes slightly. Really not used to getting complements.]

I'm really glad you like it. You have to take good care of it though, or it won't be lucky anymore.

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

Oh, I will. [She suddenly has a thought.]

...will it still be lucky if I give it to someone special?

[springtime4me.livejournal.com]

Of course! As long as they take good care of it.

[Hmm....]

But why don't you tell me your friend's favorite color? That way, you can keep that one, and I'll give you another for them.

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

Violet. [No hesitation. Marisa knew immediately what color to go with.]

You're pretty awesome, ze.

[springtime4me.livejournal.com]

Not at all. It's really just a little sewing.

[He blushes more, and busies himself by getting a violet ribbon out of the basket and tying it around the neck of another Dolly. With this one, he opts for a silver bell.]

There you go.

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

[Another girlish noise and she gives that one a little hug too. So cute~]

Thanks, Adolph. When d'you get into sewing? I've got a friend that makes dolls. Maybe I can introduce you.

[springtime4me.livejournal.com]

Really? I'd like that.

I've been into sewing and crafts and things for a long time, but no else was really interested back home.

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

Yeah, her name's Alice. I never could do a lot of sewing stuff, ze. Always got her to fix stuff for me.

[springtime4me.livejournal.com]

I'd love to meet her. Maybe we could trade secrets.

I've been thinking of starting a crafts club at school this year. Do you think she might be interested in joining?

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

Oh... she's classified as an adult here. So no school for her. But she might still be interested.

[springtime4me.livejournal.com]

I guess it doesn't have to be school related. I just thought it would be easier to organize a club that way.

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

I dunno much about organizing stuff. I tend to just tell people to show up someplace.

[springtime4me.livejournal.com]

Well, I could put up signs. And maybe make a few calls. I don't think a whole lot of people will be interested though...

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I can't really help there. Alice is the only one I know that's into that stuff.

[springtime4me.livejournal.com]

Well, even if there's only two of us, it would be a start.

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

True!

[Then Marisa remembers something.]

Oh. Alice isn't exactly a nice person, ze. But don't let that get you down. She eventually lightens up.

[springtime4me.livejournal.com]

Oh...

Umm, I guess I could just talk to her. And see what she thinks of the idea.

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

That's... probably best. Her full name is Alice Margatroid.

[springtime4me.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I'll try giving her a call.
