Summer Games [Wednesday]

[sith_happened]

A fully grown Anakin Skywalker was back in his normal spot in the park, megaphone in hand. In addition to the normal bleachers, the park had a number of tables set out with an inordinate amount of craft sticks and hot glue guns.

More worryingly, there was a giant bullseye spray-painted onto the grass.

"Welcome back!" Anakin said, absolutely blustering past the part where last week he'd been 17 years old with a deeply regrettable haircut. "Today you will be building catapults out of craft sticks and glue! It must be capable of propelling a meter tall object towards that bullseye--" he pointed to the grass helpfully. "Whichever team comes closest to hitting the buillseye gets to keep the fish for the week. Do not tank on purpose just because you don't want the fish!"

He glared at everyone to make his displeasure known about that. "You have an hour and a half to work on and complete your design! Please listen for your name to know which group you belong to! Group One: Peter, Norman, Kitty, and Paris. Group Two: Hannibal, Liam, Astrid, and Kanan. Group Three: Sabine, Rosa, Jono, and Tip. Group Four: Zack, Ahsoka, Cristina, and Verity. Group Five: Steve, Bobby, Cara, and Miguel. Group Six: Sidon, Hera, Rey, Amaya, and Uma."

[OOC: EDITED TO ADD: There are also rubber bands, rope, buckets, cloth, macrame gremlin ensembles, and other moddable stuff hiding under the tables. I totally remembered. Really. Cough.]

Hannibal nodded. "I prefer art and architecture myself. The school is quite fascinating to sketch. Although I must admit, the people here are quite interesting in their own right."

Speaking of which...finishing one last ridiculous spike of Reno's hair, Astrid ducked her head for a moment, then tossed it back a little to get her own hair out of the way as she shifted her attention, shifted her pencil, and started to draw Sidon making his goodbye speech to the fish.

Once she had the basic form down that made it clear who it was, she paused before doing the detailing and lifted her chin.

"You think he ever takes off that costume?" she asked.

Re: Arrive and Mingle!

[sharp_man]

"Which costume?" Hannibal asked. He glanced from her sketch to Sidon. "His jewels?" Hannibal shrugged. "He is a prince; I imagine that's simply what he's used to wearing."

Re: Arrive and Mingle!

"Hmm."

Astrid made a thoughtful noise, focusing now specifically on the jewels, which also worked well for her tendency to focus on light and how it played on different shapes and materials, as she thought about another failed test, wondering if there was anyone on this island who didn't just buy into all the madness, or maybe most of them were actually just like her, they didn't really believe any of it, but they acted like they did because that was just easier than trying to fight it.

"Yeah," she said, with the same thoughtful tone as her hum. "I guess you're right."

Yes, Hannibal was aware what she had meant, but he chose to ignore it as a politeness to Sidon. Either she would learn, or she would not. It was nothing to him. Unless perhaps she went mad; that could prove interesting.

"I generally am. Then again, you are free to ask him," Hannibal pointed out.
