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.

"Well." Cristina picked up one of smaller ropes and threw a handful of square knots in it. "There's no state-of-the-art holographic diagnostic imaging system and no world-famous chocolate, but there's a good hotel and a decent bar. So I guess it's only slightly terrible."

"You should come to dinner," Hannibal said. "I can make world-class chocolate and many other things. Or if you prefer, I have a class of sorts on Monday evenings that involves traveling the world and eating gourmet food. We went to Paris this week."

He made a series of knots, threading beads on between them.

Cristina snorted. "Yeah, I don't do international flights just for dinner."

She barely did flights at all.

While Rufus was genuinely intrigued by the modifications that Peridot and Jaylah had done to the fish, he wasn't intrigued enough to want to win this time around.

Also, aside from that one question, Rufus was kind of curious to see how long they'd ignore him.

As he spent the time reading on his phone. Ah, a little more last minute research.

"Portals," Hannibal said, "not planes. They're much faster."

He turned to Rufus. "Did you have anything to contribute to the macrame, or shall we just let you dress the model?"

Rude, much?

"There is literally no force in this universe that's going to make me dress the model," Rufus said blandly. "I can tie knots if the two of you are done blathering."

And that... wasn't even that rude. For Rufus.

Well then, perhaps you should stop ignoring everything but your phone, Rufus.

"The cords are right here." Hannibal paused in his own knot-tying to indicate them. "And I have no intention of getting anywhere near a gremlin. They are...unpleasant."

Maybe Cristina would take it as a challenge.

Cristina snorted at Rufus, holding up her knotted rope. "It's almost like we can do more than one thing at a time."

She shook her head. "I'm already here under duress. I'm not dressing anybody."
