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.

"I guess so?" Hardison said, looking askance at the ropes. "I'm the arts half of arts 'n crafts, I left this stuff up to daycampers an' old folks in nursin' homes."

"There are some things from the seventies I'm kinda sad I missed," Bobby said, eyeing their supplies dubiously. "Like getting to see the Space Battles movies when they were new. But this... this I would have been perfectly happy to go through life without experiencing."

"Well we hardly can just give up," Mitsutada said, pulling off his gloves. "So let's give it our best, shall we gentlemen?"

"Actually, we could give up pretty easy," Hardison said. "An' go get Thai an' watch everybody else fiddle with knots."

"Seconding that motion!" Bobby said, nodding enthusiastically. Sorry, Mitsutada. Maybe if this week's activity had also involved the possibility of a rescue at the hands of Captain America, Bobby might have been willing to at least give it a try.

"...I could go for Thai," Mitsutada said. Hey, tactical retreat was a thing.

"I'll buy everyone iced teas."
