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.

Kathy winced and offered Karina an awkward smile. "Magic?" she said, shrugging. "A friend of mine has something like wish-granting powers and another friend accidentally wished me alive again."

Probably should have gone with something like 'too cool to be down for long' but see: surprised. And Kathy wasn't good enough at lying to pull that one off anyway.

"It's been a almost a year and a half, but I've kinda kept quiet. 'I was a zombie and now I'm not' is a little hard to explain to people."

"I really, really, really hate this island," she said, still teetering between surprise and a complicated mix of emotions that were mostly glad.

If disbelieving.

"But I might love it a bit for your sake," Karina said, not sure if she was, what, supposed to go in for a hug. Or just stand there awkwardly. Or something. Shit, Karina was bad at the feelings things. "But look at you! You look great!"

Kathy was going for 'stand there awkwardly.' Sometimes people could be...weird...about the whole 'back from the dead' thing. "Thanks," she said, ducking her head. "The first half-year or so was really hard, readjusting to, well, everything."

And facing the people she'd left behind.

"But I've kinda gotten back into the swing of things. I'm almost a certified EMT, ended up randomly owning a store, have a pair of great boyfriends..." She shrugged. "The island's a pain in the ass, but it's been pretty good to me."
