Your name is Frog Alarmclock. It's a pretty unusual name, but you're a pretty unusual girl, so it suits you.

Right now, by which I mean two days before you killed everyone, you're standing in your bedroom stretching your legs as an excuse to not do your homework. Your grandma tells you that your studies are the most important thing in the universe, and she might even be right, but what's the point of being a sixteen year old girl if you're not going to rebel against authority?

Well, you're an empowered young woman now. You decide what do to.

>What are your studies? What do you do?

Those are two very different questions. Your STUDIES are taking over the family weaving business, which you have an aggressive lack of interest in. You were two years into this before you stopped pronouncing crochet "Crotch It", though a good eighteen months or so of that were two annoy your grandmother.

What you DO is mostly sit around being BORED until you're confident your Grandma's asleep and then going out to PARTY. These are not always exciting parties, or even fun parties, but it's the principle of the thing, you know? It's about 8:30pm, so you've got some time to kill before grandma goes to sleep.

Packing your yarn bag sounds an awful lot like doing your knitting homework, but you also don't want to trip over your own yarn again, so you compromise by shoving your yarn back into The Clump in your back and doing it in a much shittier art style so you can do it quickly. This also takes care of your hair, you guess. Two for one deal.

Get in there, yarn.

Good enough.

>Obviously, finalize plan on how to kill Everyone.

Okay, listen, you get that you're a teenage girl with some angst here, but no need to get dramatic. You can't imagine why you'd want to kill ANYONE, let alone EVERYONE. You barely even know anyone, except your grandma, and you could NEVER kill her. She's way too powerful.

(Whoops, picture)

>What's in your room?

Not a lot! Just a desk, a bunch of knitting stuff, and some books. And, to be honest, you don't have a lot of options when it comes to reading material. It's mostly books on different types of knitting, which is exactly what you're trying not to do. The only fiction you've ever found in the house was some trashy romance novels your grandma thought were better hidden. The kind of book that promised to "make your loins throb" but mostly just made your head throb.

You looted a box set of Harry Potter books from a Barnes and Noble in a riot after the Miami Dolphins won the Super Bowl a few years ago, and they've become your favorite books by default. You maybe had a "phase" that we're not going to talk about, but you still love those books, even if JK Rowling obviously doesn't know anything about real magic.

Or Gender.

>Is there a garden or other nice place you like to go to? you can go there and knock out your responsibilities at the same time.

There's the living room, which has a very nice couch to lounge on and a very mean cat to mutually torment, assuming your grandma isn't there, and the kitchen which is full of normal kitchen things and the cauldron. Outside the house and past the gates to Miami proper, in which there's all sorts of bars to sneak in to, as well as a roller derby rink, an abandoned yard, and fifty thousand retirement homes full of old folks who are mildly racist at best.

>So we have to meet more killable people? Okay, challenge accepted.

That's a weird way of phrasing it, but you're always down to try and meet another person, even if it rarely works out.

Good idea! We already hurt ourselves by poking a sharp thing once, but that doesn't mean we have to learn anything from it.

SHARP OBJECTS POKED: 1/99

>Yeah might want to use a darker green.

The last thing you need is for your grandma to see you walking around bothering the cat instead of doing homework. You switch to a less obnoxious shade of green on your way out the door. Being less obnoxious is a little off-brand for you, but this is serious. You close the door behind you, give your grandma's painting of a stock image of some yarn a nod, and head off on a CatQuest

>So you dress like a witch, talk like a witch, make stupid knitting puns like a yarnamancer would, is there something you haven't mentioned to us yet?

What's that anon? Would you like to hear a bit of backstory? Would you like to hear the tale of Frog Alarmclock's grand stupid destiny/job on which the fate of all life depends? Do you want her to tell you a story about it. Do you want her to....spin you a yarn?

Well, tough shit. You're a pretty unusual girl, but you're no "yarnamancer". That's not even a thing. All you do with yarn is knit it, and shove it into your bag. You've never cast a majykk spell in your life and, gods willing, you never will. There's no magic or oddness here. You're a completely normal non-magical non-wizard 16-year-old girl, on your way to bother a cat to procrastinate on homework.

Maybe you can score a little beer off him, too, if he's not driving tonight.

Matching skirt and really weird hat, clothes complementing each other in a somewhat eclectic color scheme with themed imprint?

You are hiding something. You might not be a witch, but you sure as fuck are a fashion nerd, and some degree of keener if you are making your own outfits.

Unless your grandma made that little number for you, in which case I think I understand your need to rebel.

I'm going to suggest you find some shady tailoring gigs outside granmas view so you can get some extra cash. You can use this to rebel in any number of ways. I'll suggest drugs, a regular go to for teenagers.

Your grandma made you try crochet, weave, cross-stitch, braiding, stitching wounds, stitching dolls, even letting you Lilo and Stitch to try to get an "in" with you on this whole knitting thing. None of it worked. You're skilled enough - with as much as you have to practice that's inevitable - but the passion simply isn't there and it's never gonna be.

>Grandma's big on frogs and yarn huh?

Grandma's into knitting more than any human being has ever been into anything. She hates frogs, though. She named you "Frog" because it's a knitting term. You could take or leave frogs the animal yourself, but refusing to acknowledge Grandma's intended meaning sure does piss Grandma off, and that's fun enough in its own right.

>I'm going to suggest you find some shady tailoring gigs outside granmas view so you can get some extra cash. You can use this to rebel in any number of ways. I'll suggest drugs, a regular go to for teenagers.

Heh heh, way ahead of you, anon. Once Grandma's in bed, you've got plans that involve underage drinking, questionable romantic decisions, and possibly a motorcycle ride and a fight. You're revving yourself to kermit some hardcore crimes you mean commit. Just gotta avoid grandma.

>You are hiding something. You might not be a witch, but you sure as fuck are a fashion nerd, and some degree of keener if you are making your own outfits.

It's a very thin line, caring about fashion and making your own clothes while fastidiously being opposed to knitting, but you pull it off with aplomb. Making your own outfits is the only thing that makes knitting go from "agonizing" to merely "unpleasant". Admittedly, it's a lot of stuff to carry around, and it's difficult to be stealthy with your hat, your hat yarn, your hat yarn pincushion, your hat yarn pincushion nails, your overalls, your arm pincushion, your arm pincushion, your skirt, your buttons, your bag, your bag's yarn, your skirt, the frogs on your skirt, your tights, the leaves on your tights, and your boots weighing you down. It's generally easier to be stealthy if you keep it simple like your grandma does, but she's not getting the drop on you this time. You're MAD OBSERVANT, YO.

So are you in a cult? Are you in a fucking cult? A knitting cult??? You only have knitting books, the only other books you've stolen, your grandma has yarn portraits here, are you cultists worshipping the dark lord Yarn-Sothoth? Or Nyarnlathotep?

Anyway, quick, hide! Your grandma is coming!

No. 972131 ID: f133dc

Just a suggestion for the future, make you some wall tapestries with those badass knitting skills you mentioned, and hang them in places so you have things to hide behind. Make sure they are long enough to match the walls so they actually conceal you.

For future reference of course, nothing is going to stop granny from noticing you right now. Playing it nonchalant is likely your only way to buy a reprieve.

Your grandma walks right into you. You lose all your RINGS and some of your design details.

Looks like you're in for an unpleasant and exposition-heavy conversation, unless you have a good excuse for being in the hall.
