[PQ] there's magic in the making

A m a l i a So. They're going to put on a puppet show. Amalia knows the steps, the pieces, the way to put together a show. She used to help her grandmother: another talent of the older woman, another thing she gave the community, in addition to so many countless others. And it was another thing that fell aside when the matriarch died, another light allowed to go out, a bright point snuffed without reignition, left to fester into ash, to fade away like so many traditions, lost to memory and time. Or so Amalia had believed. A year ago she would not have dreamed of leading her grandmother's puppet show, but now? Now the idea is laughably simple, a relief, an easy task in a world that has been so damned hard. It has been something to look forward to in these darker days, and as she pulls her cart to the Artisan's Guild Amalia feels renewed enthusiasm, delight in purpose, as flippant as it may be. She has put up a notice asking for help. The old stage is dilapidated, in need of repairs and a fresh coat of paint. While the Ludo puppet is in good repair, there are others rather moth-eaten, the fabric torn and in need of a tailor. Ludo itself needs a costume made; Amalia has secured some lovely dark silk from a local textile artist, but has no idea what to do from there. And then, of course, there are snacks, a variety of baked goods and a pot of tea, enticing any who would be interested to venture closer, their rich aromas wafting on the wind.
