[ Elfnein's got a pile of cut out cloth, rubber bands and cotton filling all in neat stacks, she's been making lots of Teru Teru Bozu and trying to decorate them to look like people she knows. ]

If anyone needs help with making Teru Teru Bozu I can offer some of my supplies and guidance.

[ She's putting the finishing touches on one with a little bow and a smiling face. ]

This sort of activity is common where I'm originally from!

[Have a confused looking Jean.]

What's a Teru Teru Bozu?

[alchemists]

It's shaped like a little ghost almost? It's something you hang up in order to make the weather clearer.

[konpeito_aji]

Are you also from Japan?

[alchemists]

That is correct!

[konpeito_aji]

Ah good. I never did them much myself, but I know my baby sister Oichi did. Did you have family to make them with?

[alchemists]

I don't.

[ Though her friends back home are pretty much her family at this point. ]

But, I have some friends that have done this sort of crafting with me before.

[konpeito_aji]

Close friends are even better than family.

[Alas, he has none. Sort of.]

[alchemists]

I think that's true in my case, I would be sad if anything ever happened to them.

Hey there, long time no see!

[But what's this about Teru Teru Bozu? He comes from Midi City but they have some Japanese roots.]

Do you mean those ghost-looking dolls? Are you making them to ward off the rain?

Re: Video | un: cattletamer96

[alchemists]

Mm! That's what they're called, and that is part of the reason I'm making them.

[ She also just wants to help make weddings happen. ]

[milkmycattle]

I can help you out, then! Where are you setting up?

[Sounds like a fun art and crafts project!]

[alchemists]

Maybe a cafe? I think having warm drinks and some snacks while we work would be a good thing.

[milkmycattle]

Great idea! I could go for some steamed milk right about now! This will be fun! Just send me the location, I'll meet you there!

[alchemists]

Alright, I'll try to figure out a good cafe that has that then, and coffee for me as well.

[milkmycattle]

Why don't we go to the Phoenix Roost? They have a good coffee shop during the day and there's enough space to sit down and hang for a bit!

[alchemists]

That is a good idea, I forgot about the coffee shop part of their operation.

[milkmycattle]

Yeah! So we can use the space! I know the owner personally, so he won't mind if we commandeer a table and a few chairs.

[alchemists]

In that case, we should maybe make a few Teru Teru Bozu for the cafe as a thank for you letting us use the space.

[milkmycattle]

That's a nice gesture! It couldn't hurt!

So just tell me when to meet you, and I'll be there in no time!

[alchemists]

Let me gather up all the crafting supplies, how about we meet in an hour? That should be enough time to get everything ready.

[milkmycattle]

Sounds good to me! See you in an hour!
