Welcome to the commune

[GauntJudy]

Please leave your possessions at the door, we live a simple life here, no currency, self sustaining, communal meals and electricity from 7pm to 9pm only.

Now to the first matter.

What job you want?

Unfortunately we have been ostracised from the international network, something about blindfolds giving communes a bad name 🤷‍♀️

I can work with guinea pigs!

I'm also really good at baking patisserie - would that be useful??

I have no practical skills of note. Any chance of a managerial position opening up?

Surely we can? Does that seem exploitative and diminish the guinea pig equality USP? We could do it in a basement and lie to outsiders about the origins of our hairy clothes?

Welcome! Vol au vent Wednesdays will be transformed!

Guinea pigs utilising a naturally available resource to raise funds for their emancipation. It's perfect!

This it literally my dream life and frankly I am fed up either my current state of affairs. I am in. I like sewing (am I allowed a sewing machine?) so can make clothes and patchwork blankets and clothes for the guinea pigs and I also do a bit of beekeeping on the side, although I am now allergic to bees so it might have to be a supervisory role...
I am also reasonable good at DIY.

Could you distract people with management babble when they ask about our hairy clothes?

Could you tailor your teaching to a guinea pig audience? We're trying to make a real societal difference, and also carve out an attractive USP to attract new recruits. I think guinea pig equality might be the way forward.

I've been assuming I could bring my cats....

Can GP's be taught?

I'd be good at scaring away small children.

I am very good at listening to people talk about their problems - can I be Wise Old Crone? I’m happy to live in a bit some way from the main settlement and mutter to myself a lot.

I could also brush up on my junior school flute playing skills if we are want in house entertainment.

As I'm old and disabled I think I could be the Wise Woman who lives a little way from the rest of the camp and survives on offerings brought by role needing my sage advice!

@rainydaysaway great minds!

Electric is on between 7pm and 9pm, you could focus on GP garments 7-8, and sacks for illicit GP yarn 8-9. Or the reverse , I don't want to micro manage.

Maybe you could write down your bee keeping knowledge during the rest of the day

Actually scrap security - I'd be soil and worm monitor. Need those worms for the veggies

@rainydaysaway and @weegiemum could one of you be a good wise woman and the other an evil wise woman?

I need my big stick back please @Dexterrolledoffthesofa

If they are Peruvian Guinea pigs they will expect to be eaten

Excellent. I'll bring my cats.

Could I be the cyclist who powers the electricity (or is that fictitious) it would help me lose weight and then need less wool for my knitted clothes

I've got a hand sewing machine, and I can knit and crochet, I'm willing to knit us all jumpers and gloves and socks whilst the brewery is quiet.

I can teach English and maths to the children. I can teach them knitting and crocheting too. I’m very good at the teacher ‘look’ so I will make sure they do their chores too. Unless they’re taller than me.

The Guinea pigs will keep the grass short while their poop will fertilise it. They are also very cute and make people smile.
I am very very happy that there will be no worthless tat sitting around. I'd like to be accepted in please.

I could extract tin, copper and possibly iron if there were the right rocks around.

I want to be the one in a comfortable chair who reads, shares wisdom and resolves disputes.

Next to the fire as it sounds cold there.

I'm the spiritual advisor. Because speaking directly to the Gods and spirits of nature is thoroughly exhausting I lounge in bed or on a sunlounger all day and am exempt from all manual tasks which are below me. I will protect you all from the outsiders and warn you of their impending attacks. I will also mediate any internal disagreements by finding out what Hestia or Athena think, for example.
I expect nice puddings.
