Imagine a toolbox.

No, really, humor me. Picture it in your mind.

Okay, now open the lid.

Inside of the toolbox are the creative skills you use when you make stuff. Maybe that’s writing a horror story, or painting with watercolors, or creating cosplay weaponry.

Everyone’s toolbox contains a different collection of stuff, amassed over years of, well, trying new things! And everyone’s toolbox is missing a skill or two that lives in someone else’s.

For this event, pick a skill you want to add to your toolbox.
