fandomhigh | Summer Camp Wednesday [The Park]

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.

Eliot snorted. "Seems like kind of a bad example to set for the kids."

He didn't seem too unhappy about that, though.

"Most of 'em know how to cheat and steal already," she said, undeterred. "Given what the kids did to the fish in the last week."

Ino was impressed.

"And it'd be fun, yeah?"

"It'd definitely be fun," Eliot said. "But if I stole that thing without my crew, I'd never hear the end of it."

Parker would pout for weeks.

"That's pretty sad," Ino said, making a face at him, since he was being all no-fun police. "I mean, you guys ain't never worked jobs on your own before?"

"'Course we have. But having a crew means you don't have to."

And Eliot didn't actually want the fish.

Wow, he was definitely the no-fun police.

"You're ruining all my fun," she accused.

"Oh no," Eliot said dryly. "How sad."

He hadn't said she couldn't steal it. He just didn't feel like being pouted at when he got home, today.

Ino, because she was a real, legit adult and everything, stuck her tongue out at him.

"You know how to macrame?" she checked. "'Cause, if so, I'm going to go find a bad idea buddy."

There had to be at least one sucker around here who'd team up with her.

"And if not?"

He did, actually. But that didn't mean he was going to admit it to her.

"I'll probably still leave you and find a bad idea buddy," she said cheerfully. "All's fair in love and war!"

Eliot nodded. "Fair enough. Have fun fighting for the fish."

"You too!" Ino said, with a laugh. "And if you win the fish--just remember, I'm going to steal it from you!"

Eliot snorted. "You'll try."

Just because he wasn't willing to steal the ugly thing didn't mean he wouldn't defend it if he got it. He had a rep to maintain, here.

Ino grinned at him.

"I cheat outrageously."

Ino was a telepathic ninja-Turk. Cheating was what she did.

"I have a Parker."

Even a telepathic ninja-Turk would likely have some trouble against her.

That... really depended on how much mind-whammy Ino was willing to use.

"All the more fun for me," she said. "Have fun tying knots, oh ditched one."
