Arts & Crafts, Period 2, 5-14

[screwyoumarvel]

"Good morning!" Steve said to his assembled students. "Welcome to Arts & Crafts! I'm Steve Rogers, and I'll be your instuctor. If you're not supposed to be here, you can leave now, or," he shrugged, "not, it's summer camp, no one's getting graded here, and I have plenty of materials. We're going to start with a gremlin in a jar," he said, holding up an example from a previous year. "These are much nicer than the ones that inhabit the dorms, I believe, and, in the jar, they couldn't bite you anyway. Win-win, right? Your instruction sheets and all the materials you'll need are on the tables. So, let's get started, and while we're working if everyone could introduce themselves and tell me where you're from and why you decided to take Arts & Crafts, that would be great." He'd seen Black Bolt's name on his roster, and had thought about informing him he already knew who he was, but ultimately didn't want to draw undue attention to anyone, and so said nothing on that score. "If you have any problems with the activity or questions I'm glad to help in any way I can."

Introduce Yourselves

[screwyoumarvel]

"I'm sure some of you have done this a couple of times already this week, so, let's just get this one done, shall we?" Even if he already knew adult versions of, like, half the class...

"I'm Steve Rogers, I'm your teacher, I'm from New York City, and I've been an artist for years, mostly working in graphic design. Next."

"Bobby Drake, from Westchester, New York, and, well, it just seemed like a summer camp kinda class, you know?" The introduction was somewhat lacking in Bobby's usual enthusiasm, but it was nothing personal, Steve, honestly.

"I'm Jonas, from a place called the Community that I don't think anyone other than me knows," he said, almost smiling at that, "and I've never taken an arts and crafts class before. I've seen art of all skill levels but never tried it before. I wanted to correct that."

"I'm Asuna Kagurazaka," Asuna began, proud of herself for her English. Having an English brat for a roommate and a teacher had its advantages. "I'm from Mahora Academy in Japan and I've always been interested in art since I was a kid."

"I'm Didi, I'm not really from anywhere but I was in New York last," Didi said. "I'm here because ... I have a brother who's trying to be an artist? And it seems to always make him happy. So I thought, why not."

"I'm Vance Astrovik and I'm from Saugerties, New York," Vance said. "And I figured I'd round out my schedule with something that just seemed like fun."

Ariel had two classes earlier in the week and she knew she had two classes today, so she'd made sure she'd come to these ones prepared. The nametag had all but disintergrated by now, but she had with her a handy little notecard, which she now presented to the teacher and to be passed around. On it was written:

"My name is Ariel, and I can't talk. No, I wasn't born this way. Yes, it will get better. But right now I haven't got a voice, so hello and I'm very happy to be in this class!!! =D Thank you!!!"

As the other person incapable of speaking, Blackagar also learned to use notecards. It might get to the point where he had a few to always use when dealing with Fandom.

But now wasn't the time.

My name is Blackagar Boltagon, I am from Germany. I don't recall signing up for this class.

Oh, paperwork errors.

"I'm Delirium, and I'm from everywhere." Big creepy smiles for everyone! But! Moving on with the introductions. "Destruction likes art, so I thought, maybe there is something awesome and interesting about putting funny colors on places and call it a masterpiece...or maybe not." Well, she had never stopped much to look at her brother's art; she had been happy about him being happy of painting and stuff.

"I'm Kurt Wagner, and I'm from Bayville, New York!" Kurt announced. With his very noticeable German accent. "And I'm here because... well... um..."

He looked sheepish. "I figured I'd hang with you more. I've never heard Logan talk about ANYONE the way he talked about you."

Project Time!

[screwyoumarvel]

Work on your gremlin inna jar, wonder what the vast amounts of glitter are provided for, make nice chat with your workshopmates, etc.

Re: Project Time!

[longislandiceme]

At least an art project was something to concentrate on other than Kyle's leaving and everyone at the X-Mansion having apparently freaking disappeared. So Bobby set out to make his jargremlin with a singleminded determination not usually reserved for craft projects.

Re: Project Time!

[see-beyond.livejournal.com]

First and foremost, Jonas read the instructions. Three times. And once he'd gotten a handle on what he was doing, he started his project. Two steps in, he knew he was going to end up messy but he didn't care. This was fun!

Re: Project Time!

[ostianbelle.livejournal.com]

Huh. This was new she squinted at Steve-sensei's example, the gremlins were cute in an oni kind of way.

Re: Project Time!

[living_endless]

Didi quickly shaped her gremlin. From the supplies she'd claimed, it looked like she was planning to paint it black and then add glitter.

Re: Project Time!

[telekineticfury.livejournal.com]

Vance got to work on his jar gremlin, really trying to make sure it didn't end up extremely lumpy. When it ended up extremely lumpy anyway, he decided to claim that he meant to do that and just added some wings.

Re: Project Time!

Del was already made of glitter.

...She wondered why there was a jar next to her.

Re: Project Time!

[shes-got-legs.livejournal.com]

Ariel really didn't know anything about gremlins. Her gremlin was turning out to look like some bizarre combination of a crab and a shark. It really didn't seem to matter much, though, because she wasn't exactly the best at shaping the thing. She was having fun, though, concentrating very hard with her tongue stuck out a little bit, thinking on how her lessons back home had never been this cool before.

Re: Project Time!

[bamf-tastic.livejournal.com]

No matter what Kurt did to it, his gremlin kept coming out looking like a toad. He didn't like that.

...Also, the glitter got stuck in his fur ALL OVER. The image inducer hid all of it from view, except the bits in his hair, but he could feel it, and it ITCHED.

Talk to Steve

[screwyoumarvel]

He's here, quietly amused by the number of familiar names on his roster and ready to help you with any problems or questions you might have, gremlin-related or otherwise.

OOC

[screwyoumarvel]

One of these days I'm going to make myself an actual jargremlin, darn it.
