Arts & Crafts 3, Tuesday Afternoon, Main Campfire

[screwyoumarvel]

This afternoon Steve was standing over a table of useless junk. At each of the tables for workshoppers were glue, glitter, paint, and pipe cleaners.

"Today we're going to work on improvisational art," Steve said. "I've...handwavily appropriated some items from a store in town." He'd tried to pay, but there didn't seem to be anyone to pay. "You are to incorporate at least one of them into your project. Make whatever you want. Go wild. Have fun."

After a moment of silence, he added as a sort of footnote, "The theme of your project should be, 'Why the Superhuman Registration Act is a bad idea and will never work.'"

Charlie... was not entirely sure where to look here. Yes, Johnny was very pretty. On the other hand? Beyond cheezy, into camp. And maybe she shouldn't read anything into that N'Sync CD? No, no.

"The CD isn't scratching you, is it?" she settled for.

"Oh, well hello there, Charlie," Johnny said with a cute little grin. "And no. But they are shiny and add to the overall effect of the glitter, don't you think?" He preened, puffing out his chest a little, encouraging her in his own way to check him out.

Yes, he thought he was perfect.

Charlie choked, then giggled. "Um, yeah? But what's the message supposed to be? 'I'm too cute to register'?"

Johnny blinked, "There's supposed to be a message?" He did know that, right? He must have just forgotten.

"Superhumans are definitely too cute to register." He would go with that, because she said it basically.

"So Charlie, do you want to touch me?" He almost snorted, because really, who wouldn't?

"What?!" Charlie's voice cracked, and her eyes got huge. "I mean, here?"

His arms went akimbo and he cocked his head, "Why not? I'm glittery. I thought the glitter brought on the kissing?" Okay, he said touch, but he would take kissing too.

"Boykissy, but...." This wasn't as reassuring as Charlie hoped, but, hey. She could play along. Nothing to be embarassed about, right? Savannah had draped herself all over Johnny. It wasn't that big a deal. She leaned over and gave him a kiss on the cheek, then grinned. "You're in a good mood."

His head was still cocked, but his grin grew, "I thought we were past the cheek kissing, Charlie? I think my good mood deserves a proper kiss. I am shiny you know. And there are no boys around to take advanatage." Not that Johnny would allow that. He didn't think.

"Johnny..." Okay, this was starting to make Charlie a little uncomfortable. "We're in class. And you're shirtless. And... you're kidding, right? We can kiss some more on our next date," she said, looking hopeful.

Re: Make Art/Talk Amongst Yourselves

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

He wasn't kidding, but there was enough tone in his name when she said it for him to relent. A little. "All right. I suppose my shiny, shirtless body is a distraction for you. I should think of others first." But today he was just finding that so damn hard to do. He quirked a brow, "Kissing on our next date sounds very tempting. I am very much looking forward to it."

"Good." Charlie rolled her eyes at his posing and joking, then snickered. "Are you going to take a photo of yourself for posterity, or just stay art for the rest of the week?"

"Oh, do you like this look?" He asked as innocently as he could. "And I believe Savannah has taken several pictures. Maybe you can hit her up for a copy or two."

"What's not to like?" Although again, Charlie wasn't sure how to take the second part of his suggestion... Was she supposed to be getting mad or possessive here? Or was he just being matter-of-fact? She nodded and said, "I guess, yeah, since she likes it too, and all. Yeah."

Re: Make Art/Talk Amongst Yourselves

Johnny sighed in contentment. There was nothing not to like about him today. Or any day. Just especially today.

"Are you okay today, Charlie? You do look as beautiful as ever."

Re: Make Art/Talk Amongst Yourselves

"I'm fine," she said quickly. Then brightened. "Thanks. That's sweet of you to say, Johnny." Charlie bit her lip, then suggested, "We could go to the movies tomorrow again? Maybe?"

Re: Make Art/Talk Amongst Yourselves

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

The movies were nice. He would enjoy that immensely. Not that he really paid attention to what was actually playing but he was certain there would be none to fault him. Not with Charlie at his side. "The movies it is. Do you want me to swing by and pick you up again?"

Re: Make Art/Talk Amongst Yourselves

"Sure!" Charlie looked at Johnny, figured, what the hell and picked up a cylinder of glitter, spreading over her Barbie Superhero Death Camp. "What do you think?"

Re: Make Art/Talk Amongst Yourselves

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

He looked down at her glittered art project, at the Barbies in particular. "Uh, everything goes better with glitter?"

Re: Make Art/Talk Amongst Yourselves

[girlzippo.livejournal.com]

"Exactly."
