Today was another venue shift--this time to the cleared out patch in the Preserve where the student cabins used to be located.

Those who arrived would find themselves surrounded by cut logs, nails, saws, and other construcion material.

Would Anakin use the weekly shenanigans as an excuse to get free labor out of the island inhabitants? Darn right he would.

"Today we're going to do a bit of a riff on the Lumberjack Games," he began, yelling through his megaphone. "But carefully because losing limbs is no one's idea of a good time."

And he'd know. Cough. "First we'll work in pairs to slice through five logs each, and then we'll race up those tall trees and retrieve the flags I've set there. Afterwards, we'll award the fish and everyone is welcome to help us begin to rebuild the cabins so that we can camp again."

He waved his hand and the fish--beautifully rainbowed and shiny now---and into his hand. He looked pleasantly suprised by its appearance. "Right. Hernando and Zack have clearly gone to a lot of trouble this week, so don't set the poor thing on fire again, okay?"

"That's pretty much the best attitude to have," Kathy said, breathing a slight sigh of relief because she'd remembered the zombies and...yeah. "It's not that bad, but it can always be worse."

"Next up: gremlin bites and invasions."

She paused, and eyed the floor warily.

Kathy sighed. "I got bit during the macrame thing," she said. "Thought I was a Southern belle from right before the Civil War. It was...a thing."

"I guess it could be worse?" Sabine tried, and admitted, "I don't actually know what a Southern belle is."

She hadn't had enough time here to do quite that far of a deep dive in her reading.

"Oh!" Kathy said. "Sorry, not from around here?" She tried to think of a good way to explain it and just pulled up a Left With The Breeze clip on her phone instead, one where Crimson was getting ready for the barbecue and being petulant. "Close enough," she sighed.
