Arts & Crafts 3, Tuesday Afternoon, Main Campfire

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.'"

As you do.

Also as you do.

((Be sure to note which items from OrangeShoeSevenAide you used so I can let Jerries-mun know.))

Maybe ask him what the SHRA is. If he looks vaguely emo it's not your imagination.

*points at icon* See? Vaguely emo.

Will Vandom

Will frowned. Captain Liberty had mentioned any act in the superhero class last semester, and she certainly hadn't heart about that back home. Not that many people back home knew about the superhero thing, but still.

Before starting on her art project, she made a beeline straight for the teacher. "Uh, Mr Steve? What is Superhuman Registration Act?"

Seely Booth

"Where I'm from," Steve said soberly, "A law was recently passed saying all people with superpowers have to register with and work for the government. Failure to register results in life imprisonment in a prison that makes you crazy."

"Superhuman Registration Act?" Seely asked, frowning.

She frowned.

"Well that's stupid. Who are they to say where and when you should be fighting evil and saving worlds? Why should they punish you with crazy jails for wanting to do good without an agenda?"

Charlie McGee

Charlie had no idea what the Superhuman Registration Act was, but after listening to Steve explain it to a couple people, and getting a shock of visceral horror, she grabbed the Barbies, and the forks, and, well. Made a diorama.

THE RESULTS OF REGISTRATION: REALLY BAD

Sad, disassembled Barbies with forks in them. Charlie was working on making a little prison fence around the dead Barbie bodies. The broken snow-globe was off to the side, providing context.

Steve gave Seely basically the same explanation he'd given Will ~~above~~, then said, "Needless to say I disagreed."

"See, this is what I said," said Steve.

Steve studied Charlie's diorama for a long, quiet moment, reminding himself that art was just that. Art. Still. "Miss McGee, is there anything you want to talk about?"

Charlie looked up, and then back at her diorama, trying to see it like a teacher might see it. "Well... I know it's not very... uh, the snow globe is the world watching, and not doing anything while camps are set up..."

Various discussions with Namine' on Sunday about what Art Revealed came back just a little too late. "Um." Charlie teetered on the edge of panic, then blurted out, "Do you think it would look better with glitter?"

"No," Steve assured her hastily, not wanting to upset her, "I think you've really grasped the situation. Unless you want to add glitter; then by all means, add glitter. It's your art."

Michelangelo

Charlie nodded seriously, then gulped in relief. "I think I'll decide after I get the fork fence set up. See if it needs it. To make it, um. Cohesive?"

"Sounds like the right thing to do," Seely said. "The disagreeing."

Steve nodded. "Cohesive is good. Let me know if you want any advice. Or. Er. Just to talk."

Charlie looked at her somehow therapeutic diorama again, then gave Mr. Rogers a half-smile for being so nice. "Thanks, Mr. Rogers. I will, if I really need to."

"Yeah," Steve said. "Some people didn't agree with me, of course."

Mikey didn't know what the superhuman registration act was, but he was fairly certain it didn't apply to him, because he was really more of a superturtle anyhow, right?

Whatever the case might have been, he opted to take the broken lightbulbs that had been arranged into a smiley face.

He then set himself to the task of rearranging them into a frowny face.

"Asses."
