Summer Camp Wednesday [The Park]

[sith_happened]

Today's beautiful weather was made for sitting outside and doing craft projects, which was good, because that's what you were doing. A number of tables were set up around the park, each filled with macrame and micro macrame--which was a thing Anakin had learned this week-- supplies: cording of various colors, beads, crystals, and other bits of shiny things (though the supplies were getting depleted as the squirrels kept stealing them), and a few macrame patterns mostly for dresses and other clothing-like items.

Even more worryingly, there was a runway set out down the middle of the area, along with two chairs set aside for judges.

"Right!" Anakin said, yelling into his bullhorn again. "Today you will be working in teams under a one-hour time limit to create a piece of macrame fashionwear. It does not have to be very large--it's not going to be for any of you to wear. The dimensions are provided at your stations, and the models will be arriving shortly."

Anyone have a bad feeling about that? Good.

"This week's winners will win the highly coveted Billy the Bass singing fish--" he glanced around. "Where'd that kriffing thing get off to?" He raised his hand and the fish, propelled by its own power and shrieking Sabatoge flew in from...somewhere.

"...that was odd." He glared at the assembled crowd. "Please refrain from stealing the fish until after the winner is determined this week. Listen carefully for your name and then join your team. You will have an hour to learn how to macrame and then your models will arrive and parade down the catwalk. The winners will be determined by our fashion experts Sparkle and Brooke. Your teams are as follows:

Paris, Seivarden, and Astrid
Peter, Sabine, and Tip
Jason, Ahsoka, and Norman
Verity, Aphra, and Rosa
Bobby, Mitsutada, and Hardison
Liam, Miguel, and Uma
Hannibal, Cristina, and Rufus
Steve, Yang, and Sidon
Amaya, Kitty, and Beaker
Hera, Kanan, and Breq
Jono, Kathy, and Rey
Eliot and Ino

You may begin...now."

And a giant glowing timer that Anakin had gotten from...somewhere... began ticking down the hour.

"I know how to tie knots from the Army," Steve said, "but not...artistically. How about you two?"

"I must admit," said Sidon, shaking his head, "that my experience in such things is very minimal. I have not even learned the art of weaving scale armor, for that is something typically reserved for the females of my people. But tying knots should still be helpful; it seemed to be most that, so perhaps if we were to approach this from a practical standpoint, and maybe make our theme something militaristic..."

Because, yes, Sidon, theme was the important thing to consider right now.

"I'm in Deadpool's class?" Yang offered. Which... told you right there her artistic skillz. "But I'm Junior-level certified in knotwork at home, which is totally survival stuff but can be super-fancy. So, like, Sidon's idea for going military-style would totally work for us."

"Let's do a military style...thing...then," Steve said, nodding. "Like a tunic and a tiny helmet or something?"

You had Sidon at tiny helmet, Steve. He grinned broadly.

"The knots can be like buttons!" he proposed with excitement.

"I can knot up a fishing net, so I can start on the tunic I guess," Yang said. "What about tiny epaulettes, too? If we have time after the helmet."

They might as well go full-out.

"That sounds amazing," Steve said, laughing. "Might as well just go for it, right?"
