Summer Games [Wednesday, June 20, 2018]

[sith_happened]

"Hello, and welcome to our final summer game before we go on a break next week!" Anakin yelled through his megaphone in his usual spot in the park. Around him were tables covered in just about every color of embroidery floss you could think of--heavy on the rainbow colors for Pride--as well as beads and other accessories to make things pretty. "Today you will be working together to make as many friendship bracelets as you can in a timed period. The winner gets the fish."

He reached his hand out and the Frankenfish came flying in from...wherever it had been lurking this week. It was now neon bright, with teeth and a brand-new carving and could probably be seen from space. Don't launch it there to check. "The winner will keep this amazing prize for two weeks. Please do not launch it into the sun."

He pulled out a sheet of paper. "Now listen for your group:

Teachers: Kitty, Jenkins, Kanan, Amaya
Townies: Brooke, Peter, Jono, Hera
Townies: Hannibal, Miguel, Eliot, Mitsutada
Students 1: Rey, Tip, Astrid, Aloy
Students 2: Sabine, Norman, Sidon, Paris
Students 3: Summer, Breq, Dante, Beaker"

He gestured to the tables. "There are instructions on making friendship bracelets on your tables. You have a half hour. Ready...go!"

Did this seem too easy to anyone else?

"Less talking, more knotting!" Paris said.

Paris: always a bright light to every team.

Sidon couldn't help chuckling. "Aye-aye!" he said, saluting slightly, which, of course, meant that he was not knotting as requested, but he did get right to it, using his claws to thread delicately. "It looks like someone is a little eager to win, ehh?"

Was there perhaps a little bit of boasting in Sidon's teasing voice? Maybe, just maybe, rubbing it ever-so-gently in his roommates face that he had won and she had not yet? Hmmmmm, perhaps there was. These events always made him feel a bit playful and bold.

"The bigger question is 'why isn't everyone else?'" she demanded, angrily making a bracelet.

"I already improved the fish," Sabine said helpfully.

"I have nightmares about the fish," Norman added. Also helpfully.

"And we already had it!" Sidon chimed in, brightly. And helpfully.

"If you wanted to spend some time with it, Paris, you know all you had to do was ask!"
