Arts & Crafts [Period 1, 6/1]

Sophie was burying her yawns in a cup of coffee as she greeted the class. "Good morning, I'm Sophie Devereaux. I'm substituting for Mr. Rogers this week; he had an out-of-town emergency. He's left me instructions on how you can all make lanyards, though, as well as key chains, if you prefer. Have fun with the beads and cords, and, well. I can't really answer any questions. I'm a fan of art, not an artist. Have at it!"

[ocd up!]

"Nooo crushing the hair," Zack laughed, reaching up to run a hand through his own. It bounced back into place as soon as he left it alone again. It was a wonder he was worried about hat-hair at all, really. "I'm going to trust your judgment there, then. Since you know what you're talking about, and all!"

"It's totes statement hair," she said. "We might just concentrate on belts and cool shoes and maybe some sparkle."

Don't let her near you with a bedazzler, Zack.

"Oh, belts, I can do!" He could! He was wearing three. If there was any one accessory he happened to know his way around, it was a belt. "And I've never been one to turn down a little sparkle. I can't put it on this outfit, it's ShinRa issue and they'd have fits if I did, but maybe I can pick up a shirt or something? Ooh, or, like, sparkly belts!"

He was going to get bedazzled, wasn't he?

Totally bedazzled. Vampires will have nothing on his sparkly magic if she had her way.

"I love sparkly belts!"

Zack Fair could totally outsparkle a Cullen if he was properly bedazzled and he put his mind to it!

"They're eye-grabbing!"

Yes. They brought people's eyes down to... Actually, Zack had never considered that fact. Mostly, he just liked belts.

"But not literally, right?" Claudia said because she'd been at Fandom for a while now, yeah. "Because that'd be kinda icky."

... Huh. Ew.

"That would be really icky," Zack agreed, paling slightly. "I'm going to go with figuratively speaking, I think, just because I don't think I ever want to see somebody's clothing try to steal someone else's eyes."

"Omigod, if I just gave the island an idea, I am so sorry," she said, clapping a hand over her mouth.

"Do you think goggles are a perfectly valid accessory? Or some kind of face mask? I mean, in case of inspired islands creating eye-grabbing clothing, I could probably just put on my helmet, but that messes with the hair, again."

Priorities!

"Maybe some cool glasses," Claudia said. "Like Ray-Bans?"

"I'm not really familiar with the brand name," Zack mused. Being from a different world could do that, after all. "But glasses might totally work, yeah! They're functional and fashionable! All the better for... keeping belts from stealing eyeballs?"

He was still new-ish to Fandom. He had to actually pause and get his head around that sentence before he could speak it aloud.

Claudia nodded, grinning a little. "It gets easier to say really weird things like that the longer you spend here."

"Then I guess you've been around for a while, huh?" There was some weird sort of comfort in knowing that he'd just made a friend who was fashion-minded and a veteran of a few odd Fandom events. "I hear that the island has been pretty easy on us new kids so far. Some glitter, some moose, some alligators. Everyone kind of has me holding my breath waiting for something really weird. Like the eye-grabbing clothing."

Wednesday, Zack. Just wait.

"There was a weekend when everyone turned into the little kid version of themselves," Claudia said. "That was weird."

"Weird, but I bet it was fun," Zack decided, bouncing in his seat as he made a reach for some more beads. Maybe he could make a matching squid? "I wouldn't mind being a little kid again, I don't think. Everything is simpler, when you're little."

"I got to babysit," Claudia said. "Everyone else got to jump in puddles and fingerpaint."

"Oh, less fun." Zack made a bit of a face. "Sorry to hear it. But then, what's stopping you from jumping in puddles and fingerpainting now? I mean, on days when there are puddles. I have some fingerpaints, actually."

He'd picked them up for purely educational purposes, dang it.

"Mostly? Wearing cute shoes at the time," Claudia admitted. "I totally still fingerpaint."

Hey, cute shoes were an important and totally valid reason to not splash about in the puddles!

"Well, maybe it'll happen again sometime, and make you a kid, too? Less babysitting, more splashing!"

"That would be totally dibble," Claudia replied, grinning. "It looked like a lot of fun."
