I think the only things I can think off aren't actually all that big unfortunately. I mean the biggest thing I once owned was a Pottery Wheel, but I don't know if that is considered a large item here or just one that can fit in a suit case.

[Case in point: Here is an example of what she was thinking of. I am not great at judging size]

[blitzcheer]

Oh yeah? Hmm. A pottery wheel's...

[ ... ... ]

What's a pottery wheel?

[ He realises he has no idea! ]

[adropofsunlight]

Where I'm from pots are molded from clay and you use a pottery wheel to spin said clay around so you can mold it to the shape you want for your pot

[She felt like that was a good explanation.]

I use to do this daily. It's a fun and creative thing to do. [Plus she had way too much time on her hands back then.]

[blitzcheer]

Ohhh. Entrapta made some clay for the art day Romeo and Madoka had. Didn't know you could make something like that!

How big are they? It can't be that big if you make pots with them, right?

[adropofsunlight]

It's amazing with what you can do with clay. You can make pots, you can make any shape you want to really.

As for size. I rememeber it would go up to my waist when I sat down and could fit that lower half underneath so I could reach the peddle. So it's pretty big in the style I use to have and I don't know if one can get them smaller.

[blitzcheer]

Hmm. I wonder if that'd be the size of a suitcase? A suitcase standing up, but- we can give it a go!

Lemme buy one and see what we get. If we need bigger, then - we'll need to figure where to put it!

[ Like an ART CAR. ]

[adropofsunlight]

Never hurts to try. As for where I would be the one who would figure that out.

[blitzcheer]

Madoka wouldn't mind helping either, I bet. Wonder if she can hear us?

Madoooka? Psssh, Madoka to the train! It's art talk!

[happyends]

[ Madoka wasn't really listening.. Mostly since she was in the middle of doing chores.

But even as she tunes out the sounds of the ICP to the back of her mind, it's a little bit harder to fully ignore the sound of her name being called multiple times like that. She moves her head up in surprise before quickly making her way over towards the nearest terminal. ]

Oh! I.. um, were.. you guys looking for me..?

[adropofsunlight]

Yeah, Tidus here figured you'd like to help with something since this is related to art.

[She was aware that the other liked this stuff at least.]

[blitzcheer]

Heyyy. [ Now there's another voice he likes to hear. ]

Yeah, did you see? We can buy bigger items now. Rapunzel knows about these things called pottery wheels - you ever see them? What do you think about them for the train?

[happyends]

Uh-huh, we have those where I'm from too..

[ Not that she's sure if the ones from her world are the same as the ones from Rapunzel's world, but she's got to figure they serve the same purpose, if they also carry the same name. ]

They might help out people who like sculpting or just pottery specifically.. I think we had someone like that on the train, though I'm not sure if we still do now. [ She does know that person left, at least. A really long time ago. But maybe people have secret hobbies here! ] But I also think they might be kind of fun for anyone to try!

[ She pauses for a moment, as if to see if Rapunzel thinks so too. ]

[adropofsunlight]

Oh, I didn't think of it for sculpting. But then again... I never did sculpt before.

[She did nearly everything buy at this point.]

It's also pretty easy to make a pot and I can always be a teacher should anyone need it. Plus as she said it's fun.

[blitzcheer]

Well then! Sounds like you two would have fun, and I know Romeo would have too. How about it, Madoka? They sound to me like they'd be about the size of a suitcase, but... I know you're always wondering what to do with your points.

How about some pottery wheels? [ Hah! ] No one'll be able to ignore art if art's all over the place!

[ vote art car ]

[happyends]

Yeah, I can get two! I don't think more than that will fit into the little art space we have.. [ Because there's still no art car. :(

But still, it means that Madoka can shove their little space full of stuff for now. ]

We'd probably have to put them together.. I don't think they'd fit in one piece. But some of the adults can probably help us, right? If they have time, anyway!

[adropofsunlight]

I know someone mentioned we could use a small part of the library too if needed.

[But only if she felt like it was going to be necessary. She would like art car very much, but considering what else was usually on offer... she figured they would need to try and convince a lot of people to vote for it next time...

The cute brigade need to assemble.]

I can do a lot of lifting honestly so that would be covered. If not by me than my hair can lift a persons weight so...

[blitzcheer]

[ Pfft. ] How about we take one of those science rooms? Tell them they can use the library! You two've been here longer.

[ Pah. ]

How about this? So I got a clock... and okay, it's not the best clock, but the thing is, you can announce that every other day at...sports o'clock on the clock - it's a clock that tells time with images, [ he throws in, ] -- that's art club time in a portion of the sports gym. There!

And if people don't like it, they can vote for an art car!

[happyends]

.. Tidus, did the train give you a kindergarten clock?

[ SHE'S NOT EVEN BEING MEAN, JUST.. CURIOUS..? I mean, what else could a clock that tells the time with pictures be! It sounds like something you'd put up in a kindergarten classroom for kids who are too young to read regular clocks!

But Madoka knows it's not the point, quickly shaking her head to try and get the thought out of there. ]

B-But..! I'd feel too bad about taking up space in another carriage with art stuff.. I mean, people probably want to have fun and play sports without there being things in the way, right? [ Yes. Yes, she really would feel guilty for even taking away half an hour of other people's carriage time.

This is how Madoka works. ]

[adropofsunlight]

Is a kindergarden clock different from a normal clock?

[Because she didn't have no idea either way. But she at least understood the feeling guilty thing, why do you think she asked first about using a space for art in the first place.]

I'd feel bad too, but if everyone agrees then it's different, right? That's people giving you the okay.

[blitzcheer]

Did it?

[ Tidus has no idea either. Are kindergarten clocks like that? Is that what he got!? Madoka you have the key to this mystery of 'what the heck is with this clock'!

But as for the worrying over nothing portion, Tidus is also in agreement with Rapunzel (with neither of them knowing anything about kindergarten clocks): ]

It's an hour, two hours tops! And it's a big car - no one's got reason to complain. Plus we can put up the middle net and separate the two sides.

[ Pfft. ] Plus, people don't play sports as much as they do anything else. Some just use it as a training gym.

[ Heathens tbh. ]

[happyends]

[ .. Rapunzel does have a point.. and so does Tidus.

Besides, isn't the person who's most likely to use the sports gym right here in this conversation with them? If there's anything Tidus basically embodies, it's the concept of sports. ]

You wouldn't mind us doing it in the sports car, Tidus? [ Because if he doesn't.. then surely no one would. No one here can be more passionate about sports than him! ]

And about the clock-- um, it might be! Since little kids can't read the clock yet, they usually put pictures on it instead in kindergarten, so kids can know what activity they're going to do or where they're going when the hand on the clock points a specific way..

[adropofsunlight]

[She clapped her hands together. Why did that clock sound like more fun than a normal clock might be.

Not that Rapunzel actually knew what the hell an actual clock was anyway.]

Even if it is one of those clocks it would actually be very useful.

[blitzcheer]

Yeah, it'll be easy to follow! I'll even get a couple more, so we can tell the time in more places!

[ Alright! ]

And it'll be no problem, Madoka. It's just a couple of hours - and then you can even use the public coach, or the garden car again. Whatever you plan on doing! It'll be fun! But you two'll have to work out all the ideas about what we can do! So everyone enjoys it!

Up to the task? [ Ladies? ]

[happyends]

Of course.. I mean, we organized the art day too!

[ And that was much bigger! This is just about figuring out some art activities they can do that other people might think seem fun if they'd pass by, right? Fun enough to join in on? ]

It should turn out alright. [ At least, Madoka believes so.. or maybe hopes so, as she smiles. ] Thanks for letting us use the carriage, Tidus!

[ Because she does believe they need his Official Permission when it comes to the sports carriage, okay.

At least with the other places it feels less like they might bother someone in the middle of something, since those carriages have less of a singular purpose. ]

[adropofsunlight]

Question. I remember there was another who organized art day with you. Do you think they would want to help here too?

[Because she figured might as well see if all of those who are 100% interested might want to actually do something.]

The more minds on it the better at the end of the day.
