Potpourri - Tuesday, May 22

When the students arrived at the main campfire on Tuesday they would see there were a stack of plain looking tribal drums on a table. On Buster's table there was a basket full of glitter, glue, feathers and other moddable decorating stuff. When everyone was seated Buster clapped his hands (he was wearing his fake hand today) together and began to speak.



"Heeeeeey everyone. So today we are going to learn a bit about Indian Tribal Ceremonies. Indians lived here in America before Christopher Columbus came and gave all of them syphilis. Busy man, that guy. They didn't wear shirts and were the inventors of face painting." said Buster. He had no idea what he was talking about. "T.A. was nice enough to dress up as an example of an Indian!"

Buster made a dramatic gesture towards Warren, who was shirtless. He had on only a buttflap (Buster was pretty sure that was the technical term), a headdress and had red paint on his chest. Buster looked way too excited to see his T.A. dressed up.

"Doesn't he look fantastic? Give them a little wave, T.A." says Buster. "Indians dressed like this and used drums to express their feelings during special ceremonies. And they had a lot of ceremonies. With drumming. Yeah...I think that's about it."

"So you've got your drums on that table over there. They're a little plain but that's why I've got all this stuff from the store!" he said, sticking his fake hand in the basket on his desk. When he pulled it out it was covered in glitter and feathers. "Decorate them up! Try not to get any of the feathers near your face. You could poke an eye out."

"After you're done decorating them I'm going to give you a ceremony the Indians performed back in the day." said Buster. "And you just play what you feel. That's what the Indians did. Played what they felt. If you do a good job then I'll give you a prize!" Prize meaning stuff Buster managed to take out of the penthouse and the model home before his mother made him come to Fandom.

"And you get to keep the drums!" he said. "Maybe you can play at a Bar Mitzvah or something."



"Oh, and before I forget. Next week we are going to learn how to be neither seen nor heard. So wear something that's inconspicuous." he said. "Sweater vests are always good. Nothing that makes you look like a trashy whore."

((It;s up!))

Shawn's still dwelling on the events of last night. Thinking you saw someone die can be distracting like that. As such, he's very much with the zoning out.

Shawn is glitterising his drum, and keeping feathers away from his face like he's supposed to be.

He's not putting a huge amount of thought into the aesthetics of the thing, but he is at least doing it.

Distracted as he is, that really doesn't stop Shawn from boggling a little at that speiel. Especially once Buster got to the part about 'sand in naughty crevices'.

His creativity isn't really shining today, all that really comes out of this exercize is some rhythmic beats and the occasional 'ow ow'. Hot sand in crevices, ow.

Ooh, making drums was going to be fun! And they get to keep them! Annette was in a good mood today. She'd totally have to make Dick dance to her drums later. In privacy. And she sort of zoned out at that thought cause Dick dancing around in a buttcloth, was like wow.

Summer was still quietly freaking out over the events of the previous night, but it didn't stop her from boggling at the lecture.

She wasn't using a whole bunch of feathers, but she was having fun with the glitter and glue and beads and pretty shiny decorating stuff.
