How do you carve pumpkins?
« on: October 24, 2016, 02:02:35 PM »
Talia and I went to a little father/daughter pumpkin carving activity last week, and I saw my interpretation of the thing was quite different than everyone else. 

I brought a pumpkin for HER and one for ME. 

Now, despite what most might THINK, I actually DO NOT CARVE MANY PUMPKINS.  I much prefer to just hand the knives over to the kids and let them go to town.  Which is why I invested in a crapton of safety knives you can't really cut yourselves with.  What's more, they actually do the job of cutting a pumpkin BETTER THAN YOUR KITCHEN KNIFE.

Anyhow, we saw a lot of people let their kid draw then take over.  Many more break out the stencils (and some then ask me how to do them).  A few saw Talia with the safety knives (of which I brought plenty) and let their kids go to work.

The Progenitor race appears to sense, and possibly even manipulate, local fields an untrained human cannot percieve without mechanical aid, including at the very least electricity and magnetism. This sensitivity creates entirely new worlds of artistic endeavors for the race- or it may be developed into a powerful combat awareness that can foil any attempt at surprise.
