[The video snaps to life. Ai is in the gardens under a tree, she has...a stack of paper next to her and a few paper cranes on her shoulders. She's getting better at this social thing which is why she's alright with asking.]

If anyone would like to learn origami. I can show you. It's not very hard and you can make animals.

[culver]

What is origami?

[shallbeavenged]

It's the art of paper folding. You can fold the paper to create small sculptures of things, like animals.

[culver]

Can it be any animal?

[shallbeavenged]

Most are possible. Some are harder then others. Did you have one in mind?

[culver]

I would like to make a dog.
Maybe a horse too.

[shallbeavenged]

I know how to make those. I can teach you if you'd like.

[foundafamily]

Seems pretty crazy that you can make some old piece a' paper into... that. How's it go?

Video

[shallbeavenged]

You just have to make the right folds. And practice. I can show you how a crane is made if you'd like.

Video

[foundafamily]

All right, that doesn't sound too bad.

...Hang on, like a construction crane?

[He's pretty sure that's not an animal, but he also has no idea what any other sort of crane would look like. This is what happens when you don't go to school.]

Video

[shallbeavenged]

No. Like the bird.

[She holds up the one she just made.]

They're the most well known of all origami. Some people say if you make 1000 of them you get a wish or many years of good luck.

[foundafamily]

Seriously? What's so special about a funky-lookin' bird, huh?

video.

[trynotodie]

[well that looks... kind of a lot like raven's old necklace. only with paper. interesting.]

It's called origami?

video.

[shallbeavenged]

[She nods.]

It's Japanese for folding paper.

video.

[trynotodie]

Is it hard to learn?

video.

[shallbeavenged]

Not really. It can take some practice to make some of the harder ones. Would you like to learn?

video.

[trynotodie]

[nodding]

I would yes. If it's not too much trouble.

Video

[charges]

I've seen something like that. [He smiles, and nods a bit.] Are those birds?

Video

[shallbeavenged]

[She nods]

They're cranes.

Video

[charges]

Wouldn't mind learning that, if you're looking to teach.

Video

[shallbeavenged]

I don't mind teaching. I've had a lot of practice.

[Centuries even.]

I'll be in the kitchen on the first floor if you want to learn.

[voice]

[yardbird]

Where did you get the paper?

[Not sure if interested. Actually he is interested. But just approaching light conversation first. Shh.]

[voice]

[shallbeavenged]

It was in my locker after the last jump.

[voice]

[yardbird]

That would... make sense, yeah. [Yeah.]

I never really did figure out how people make those animal things. The most complicated thing I've ever made was a paper airplane.

[voice]

[shallbeavenged]

I can teach you if you'd like.

[voice]

[yardbird]

Er... Sure. [Pff.] Why not?

What's the easiest one you know, to start out?
