The eternal dilemma of wanting to garner certain attention but having nothing of value to say in order to do so ^^; ❣︎
:> Scr^tch? H^! H^! You fl^tter me. No, I used to be ^bsolute dogshit ^t m^king p^l^t^ble te^ from te^ b^gs or loose le^f in gener^l, never mind scr^tch. But one le^rns these things ^s ^ hivekeeper, through necessity ^nd preference. <:
Oh!!!!! I used to work in hivekeeꫂ❁ing myself!!! That was where I first learned to use a sewing machine ^^ Do you work alone, or are you ꫂ❁art of a larger staff? ❣︎
:> Just me, but I don't mind, I h^ve my mech^nic^l constructs to help me. My boss ^nd I both prefer our pe^ce ^nd quiet, ^nd the two of us get ^long very well. Were you p^rt of ^ bigger st^ff? <:
I was! I was very young at the start. Just marched uꫂ❁ to my local Violetblood's manor and told her I could sew and clean and would like a job ^^; I think she mostly brought me in to look after me. I didn't do much in the way of actual work until I was older, but I was quite the little helꫂ❁er until then. I certainly learned a lot that way. Your constructs sound fascinating. Are they autonomous? ❣︎
:> Wow, I did something very simil^r with my boss, though I w^s ^lre^dy ^n ^dult ^t the time. Sometimes it works! I ^m sure you were ^n ^dor^ble ^nd industrious little helper. Pup^ Bodie is ^ cute thought. They c^n be, though the ones th^t help me with cle^ning ^re ^mong the simpler ones most times. All they c^n re^lly do is cle^n ^nd resupply me, things like th^t. <:
Fascinating! How long have you been making them? ❣︎
:> Quite ^ while. I’ve been tr^ined in biotech ^nd mech^nics. But I ^lso m^ke them for fun. <:
Wow! I'd love to see one in ꫂ❁erson someday ^^ How many different kinds do you make? ❣︎
:> Honestly? Not sure off the top off my he^d, I’d h^ve to check my records. Sometimes I just mess ^round with p^rts ^nd m^ke something th^t doesn’t even work th^t well just to see how function^l it c^n be with the dumbest build im^gin^ble. If you w^nt to see one in person I do ^ttend m^kers’ f^ires sometimes. I c^n post the loc^tion next time one ^ccepts me ^s ^ vendor. <:
I would love that!!!!! ❣︎
