[video, public, today]
Oh, everyone!
[Lucas doesn't usually make public calls, but he seems quite pleased with himself.]
I was thinking about something that someone had said the other day - about how there were still a lot of ways we could help improve Union. I thought about it, and I wasn't really sure what I could do by myself, but... Dozer evolved a few days ago, and I suddenly had a thought.
Do you remember last winter when a bunch of people were saying that they were feeling pretty chilly? Well, that was only the ones with Warp Bands, so there must be a lot more out there who could use warm clothing. And then Dozer evolved, and I remembered - Leavanny are famous for being able to make clothes, right?
So Dozer and I are going to do our best to sew as much as we can before this winter comes around. Like this!
[Lucas holds something up proudly to the Warp Band.
.......It is vaguely recognizable as clothing, shirts and pants, though only if you have a strong imagination. It doesn't really help that they're obviously made out of padded layers of chewed up leaves. In the background, a newly evolved Dozer yawns and lazily spits out some more thread that it proceeds to spin at random with its eyes firmly fixed out the window, which perhaps explains the quality of this work.]
If we make 5 sets a week, we'll have at least 100 by the time winter comes around again. It might not be enough for everyone who was feeling cold last year, but I think it should help. And there will be a lot more if other people with Leavanny can help, too.

Lucas will look upset on Dozer's behalf.]
I-It's not the best, but that's not a reason to yell...
We'll get better with a little more practice.
no subject
But he's sittin' over there yawning. Seriously.
no subject
[Lucas turns around in time to catch the latter half of the yawn, which isn't as quickly stifled as Dozer would like it to be.]
...
M-Maybe he's tired from working so much...

[Lucas sighs a little.]
I guess not. But he really is trying. I think he just doesn't want to look like he is in front of everyone...
[That may also be questionable.]
no subject
Look. I dunno if he is trying or he ain't. But you guys have to work this out or you're not gonna get anywhere.
no subject
[He holds up the questionable articles of clothing again.]
You, um. ...You don't think this is something people will want to wear?
no subject
...It's gonna take work.
no subject
[Lucas looks slightly downcast for a moment before he sets the clothes down with a wan smile.]
Well. That just means we're going to have to work harder! And... it shouldn't all be on Dozer, either. I... I'll do my best to learn how to help, too.
no subject
That's the spirit! You ain't done any before, then?
no subject
[Lucas flashes back briefly to the time when he'd tried needle and thread and ended up stabbing himself five times.]
Nope! I've never finished anything before.
[Wording is everything.]
