(Let's just change the format for once. She prefers text, but variety is the spice of life or whatever, so, she shows up on video, wearing what is honestly just Every Day Getting Out Of The House To Get Mail Sophie, her rainbow money piece framing her face while the rest of her golden locks are in a braid. Make-up included to go with the hair, of course. Extraness aside, which if it doesn't exist, she died, she has a bright smile adorning her lips, she walks around the building.)

I was going to do my usual 'hello, it's Sophie Cuckoo, NYX stuff here' post, and then I realized I always text it, so, hi, this is me, this is NYX. This is basically a community event center. We hold all sorts of classes, engineering, arts, fencing, martial arts, and well, I was teaching ethics, but I closed that time slot for more one-on-one deals, so I guess if you need me to help with something, I'm super not hard to reach? Text, show up, or just think at me really hard, and that does it. Anyway! It's the usual. Wanna learn something specific, tell me and I'll see what I can find. Wanna teach and add to the community, let me know so I can fix you a classroom and a time slot, provide materials, and whatever the fuck else.

We also make food here. We have three cooks who, really, if you don't try their meals, you're super missing out, which leaves more for me, so, really, do whatever you want with that. We also deliver, so just contact me and I'll find a way to get it to you. Lunch and dinner on us.

(Okay, to the fun part. There's a wall that hasn't been painted in the surrounding garden area, along with all the mutant-centric art, untouched because they were getting to it back home, okay, stuff happens.)

Okay, cool, right, so, two things. First of all of them, this wall is boring, so I am inviting all of you to do something with it. Obviously, don't fucking think the entire thing is your canvas only, because that's fucking shitty, but leave a mark, draw a thing, write, kick it, and leave a shoeprint for all I care, but make a mark on it, I think that would be really cool.

Second thing — usual thing. Give me a situation, a dilemma, a problem, and I'll tell you what to do about it. I'm great at problem-solving. I also accept 'a friend of a friend of my cousin's on my uncle's side from my dad's side' situations, trust me, totally serious answers from me only.

See you guys!

I had not originally intended to make any formal announcement regarding my workshop. However, after seeing Sophie’s recent notice advertising her own establishment, I was reminded that certain opportunities are best stated plainly rather than left to rumor. With that in mind, I am opening a limited number of workshop roles and apprenticeship positions at my facility, Contingency Plan, located at Guardiandocks.

APPRENTICES, SPECIALIZED ASSISTANTS, AND COMMISSION LIAISON SOUGHT - CONTINGENCY PLAN

Location: Guardiandocks
Proprietor: Percival Fredrickstein von Musel Klossowski de Rolo III

About the Workshop
Contingency Plan is a private commission workshop dedicated to precision mechanisms, fine instrumentation, custom-designed devices, restoration of delicate constructs, and experimental craftsmanship requiring exceptional technical accuracy. Work conducted here is specialized, often singular, and demands patience, discipline, and refined hands.

Open Roles

- Precision Craft Assistants
- Fine Mechanism Assemblers
- Instrument and Device Restoration Assistants
- Drafting and Measurement Assistants
- Client Liaison and Commission Coordinator
- Apprentices (limited positions)

Apprenticeship Opportunities
Candidates who possess curiosity, patience, and a genuine desire to learn advanced craftsmanship are encouraged to apply, even if formal training is limited. Applicants without prior workshop experience should present a small drafted design, schematic, or blueprint of their own creation demonstrating attention to measurement, structural logic, or mechanical imagination. Apprentices will receive direct instruction in specialized fabrication methods, tool mastery, and commission-based workshop practices.

Client Liaison Position
Applicants with strong interpersonal skills may apply to serve as Commission Coordinator, responsible for greeting clients, clarifying commission requests, maintaining orderly records, and managing consultations that require tact and composure.
