I can, if you have the right tools? Nothing spectacular but not son of Martha Kent was going to get to adulthood without some knitting knowledge.

[Apha male who cooks and knits? You betcha.]

[Hello, average and unremarkable news reporter who is certainly a baseline human being and not a superpowered alien.

Not that Nita has any problems with superpowered aliens in general. Just the ones who are jerks.]

You just need yarn and needles, right?

[She hadn't gotten that far yet, okay.]

[Luckily Superman isn't a jerk... not that that is in any way relevant when she's talking to baseline human Clark Kent right?]

Well, we could also a crochet hook and some other things but it's not like we can be picky. I'm a little busy with the disappeared people coming back and what they are missing but... when would be a good time to start?

[He doesn't want to know what Nita is visualizing as a "crochet hook," but it's a lot closer to fishing than knitting.]

Oh, I can make time whenever's convenient for you. I just have to pop over to Earth and get the supplies.

[A grin and he gives her a nod as an answer. He had never really thought about teaching people how to knit but it will be a welcomed distraction.]

Just leave me a message when you've the supplies and I'll come over. Or you come over, I don't really have a preference.

I'll just come over to your place. It's easier for me to get around.

[Because he is a normal human with normal human physical capabilities.]

...I'll call first.

[Temporary blindness be damned. Julie wants to learn, too.]

If you find anyone, let me know. That sounds like fun.

[Rita may or may not notice that Julie's not looking directly at the camera. Sort off off and to the side and not really focused on anything.]

Oh sure. It looks like Mr. Kent knows how.

[She does notice that Julie's looking a little unfocused, but sometimes surface dwellers don't really know how to use video communications, so she's not reading too much into it based on five seconds of video.]

I haven't met Mister Kent yet. I'll have to make a point to.

Hi. I'm Julie.

Big guy, glasses. He's a reporter. From like Kentucky or somewhere.

[Nita's iffy on states that don't have a border with New York. At least she got the right first letter.]

Nita Prentiss. Nice to meet you.

[She sounds exactly like an American college student, so there's no way to tell just from her voice that she's not human.]

Nice to meet you, Nita.

[Honest to God, Julie wouldn't be phased by that at all. Let's be real, her best friend back home is a walking corpse with a Frank Sinatra obsession. Its pretty amazing. R has good taste in music.]

...how about I just...put out a call? What's his name? I'm afraid going by sight won't help me all that much right now.

The name is Kent, Clark Kent. Nice to meet you, Miss...?

[Whoa, unexpected voice! At least it's a pleasant voice. Julie smiles a bit before speaking.]

Grigio. Julie. Julie's fine. Hello. It's a pleasure to meet you, too.

[Clark has still to notice he's speaking to one of those who lost one of their senses after being a ghost. He wouldn't act differently anyway- maybe inwardly thinking of alternate ways of teaching knitting that didn't involve one's sight.]

I'll apparently be teaching Miss Prentiss to knit, so you are more than welcome to join us any time.

[She grins just a bit, nodding once.]/i>

That sounds like a plan. I might need help getting there, if you don't mind at all.

I'll take you!

[It's Nita's post and she'll hijack if she wants to.]

You're blind as a side effect of this ghost stuff?

[Hence the "right now," she's assuming.]

[He's about to say 'I'm sorry, I didn't realize' but that doesn't quite feel right.]

Or I can take you, if we decide the lessons should happen in Miss Prentiss' house.

[She honestly wouldn't know what to make of that and would probably just shrug it off and say it's temporary.]

Whatever works. I appreciate both offers. I'm sure we'll figure it out.

[Kon is bundled up in jumpes and a scarf (but another would be welcome) along with gloves and a woolen hat. With a bauble.]

If you learn, I'm putting in a request for a scarf that wraps around more than once. Maybe a bigger pair of gloves so I can put them over the ones I have.

[Kon, you look ridiculous.]

You're cold?! I seriously can't believe you get cold!

[No excuse you he looks pretty awesome.]

It's more a mixture of I don't want to chance getting sick or something. I mean I feel the cold? And come on, I can make even this look good, right? Can totally be a model for your stuff.

'Oooh you like these gloves? Nita makes then. 20 juulan."

[Then there's a long pause.]

Too much? [He moves his hand to show he actually means his clothing.]

You look fine.

[No he doesn't, but Favrielle was only able to improve Nita's terrible fashion sense so much. She really has no judgment when it comes to things that cover your whole body.]

It just never would have occurred to me that the cold would bother you.

[He fixes the hat and grins.]

Knew it.

Not majorily bothered by it, like I said, I feel it. I'm not shivering or anything, even out of this stuff. But it's colder than last year and I guess it just kinda felt right to do?

[He should probably just take it off and give it to people who really need it. :|]

That's why I'm learning how to knit!

[She's going to go around wearing a scarf over her bathing suit. Accessorizing is important.]

Babe, it's all gonna look amazing! You got someone to teach you yet?

I've got a bunch of volunteers! I'm sure at least one of them will be able to make it stick.

[She does have superhuman dexterity, after all.]

Sweet! Seriously can't wait to see what you end up making.

Um... I don't know enough to teach anyone, but if you're looking for materials, I think I saw a couple of places where you can get some stuff, when I was out shopping...?

[Cassie's not sure if that's something that Nita doesn't know, but she can offer, right?]

[There is no way Cassie is better at shopping than Nita, but she takes it in the spirit it's offered.]

Actually, that'd be great. It'd save me the poking around.

Awesome!

[She was out with Monet. That probably makes a difference?]

Favorite colors? I mean, not that they only have some colors in some places, but some of the colors are just. Better in some places.

I like green and gold. And black, I guess.

[She suddenly has An Idea.]

I should knit myself a red scarf.

[Because she can pair it with her usual green scaly bathing suits for a seasonal color theme!

It's very important not to let Nita dress you unless she's working from one of Favrielle's patterns.]

... you could start with red, yeah.

[Though, honestly, the first scarf. There's not that much danger of her wearing it, lbr.]

But green and gold do sound good, too. I can come pick you up to show you some of the places, and you can decide what to get?

I've never taught before, but I've been knitting for years. I'd be happy to try and help if you haven't found anyone else yet.

It seems like Mr. Kent just knows the basics, so I'm sure you'd be a huge help!

[...Whoever you are.]

Hi, I'm Nita Prentiss.

Are you still looking for a teacher? Because...I could probably help. I don't do any really fancy stitches. Mostly it's just salvage of pre-existing stuff.

That's okay, I can't do any stitches!

[She'll be a really quick study.]

Maybe I should get some snacks and have people over.

Snacks have been known to have the power to gather people in large amounts.
