Arts & Crafts 2, Tuesday Afternoon, Main Campfire

[screwyoumarvel]

"Good afternoon," Steve said. "Today we're going to make dream catchers, as I have been told they are traditional at summer camp. The instruction sheets and supplies should be on your tables. If you need any help, just let me or my TA--" Steve nodded at Teddy--"know. Also, I thought it would be nice if we all introduced ourselves so no one's working next to a total stranger. I'll start. Like I said last week, my name is Steve Rogers. I'm eighty-nine years old--yes, really--and I'm from New York City. I used to be in the army, but before that I went to art school." Steve pointed to a student at random. "You're next."

"Him, and his best friend, and *her* little sister," Carmela rolls her eyes. "Always going off to 'save the universe',"- that was in airquotes- "which mostly translates to 'get in to a hell of a lot of trouble and barely escape intact'. I had enough of it and decided that this time, I was going too."

"You're a good sister," Charlie said, smiling as she looked for red feathers for her dreamcatcher. "So, how'd 'they save the universe'?" she asked, imitating Carmela's quote markes.

"Wizards fight entropy," Carmela explains. "Or, try to slow it down, at least, since you can't actually *stop* it. Only, the Lone One, the big bad guy, he made this big creepy thing that was like, eating space-" it was slightly more complicated than that but Carmela wasn't quite sure how to explain the Hesper, or Ronan, or *any* of that. "And so my brother and his friends and all the other wizards that still had power got together on the moon, so they could try and do a spell that'd keep the thing from reaching Earth." It hadn't quite worked, and in the end it had taken Ponch's interference, but if she couldn't explain the Hesper, how was she gonna explain about how her family pet was apparently a god, or at least the canine version of one?

"Holy cow." Charlie blinked at Carmela in what was becoming a familar feeling of being overwhelmed. "And it worked? And you got to see it?"

"It worked!" Carmela grins. "Wouldn't be here if it didn't. It was kinda... awesome."

"I'm jealous! Although, I'm still getting used to this place. Planet-eating bad guys and magic on the moon might leave my brain at the level of 'buh.'"

Carmela laughs. "I should introduce you to my friends Filif and Sker'ret, sometime. They'd *really* make you go 'buh'."

"Are they aliens?" Charlie asked cautiously. "Or did their parents just like really really original names?"

"They're aliens," Carmela confirms. "Filif is sort of... a walking, talking tree?" Well, he didn't *walk* in the sense of using legs, but he *moved*, so close enough. "And Sker'ret looks like a big centipede with lots of eyes on stalks," she wiggles her fingers to illustrate what the eyestalks look like.

Charlie sat there trying to imagine that for a while, and finally said, "I think I need to get used to the turtles and Robin and the aliens who look like people first." She grinned. "But they sound cool."
