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.

"Yeah, no way we're going to finish that," Seivarden said, picking up a cord. "Let's just start tying knots in one end and see where we end up."

She didn't care much about the singing fish, and since that kid was a control freak, someone had to suggest another approach.

Paris preferred "showed leadership qualities" but...yeah, control freak.

"You two work on the poncho, then, and try to keep the bead usage tasteful. I'll start on the net," she declared.

Seivarden, who had been a captain in the Radchaai fleet, was of a different opinion, but she wasn't going to take over running this thing.

"Right," she said, after raising an eyebrow at Paris. "Are you sure you can manage on your own?"

She knew the answer.

Astrid had grabbed some cords, mostly in shades of blue, and tried her first knot before grinning faintly over at Seivarden. "She probably doesn't want us messing up whatever she's working on."

"Exactly right," Paris said, already beginning her entirely too complicated series of knots. "Less chatting, more work."
