Wednesday Camp Shenanigans, [Wednesday, August 1, 2018]

[sith_happened]

"I have been informed that it's not a real camp experience if there isn't some sort of singalong," Anakin shouted through the megaphone, "so today you will be creating your own instruments using shoe boxes, rubber bands, craft sticks, and so on, and then you will engage in singing various camp songs. I have helpfully printed out the words because my galaxy doesn't sing about your ears hanging low."

He waved his hand and the fish--now moving more sluggishly thanks to being frozen for three days--came flying back to his hand. "Whoever ticks me off the most during the singalong gets the fish," he threatened.

Arrive and Mingle!

[sith_happened]

The vendors have provided camp-type foods today, heavy on the hot dogs.

Create Your Instruments~

[sith_happened]

There are instructions for 46 different types of instruments ranging from plastic egg maracas and tubaphones to guitars and thumb pianos.

You get an entire hour to make your amazing creations!

Group Sing!

[sith_happened]

Everybody sing! Do Your Ears Hang Low, followed by I'm Being Swallowed By a Boa Constrictor, and then Little Bunny Foo Foo.

After that, you can convince everyone to sing something else if you'd like.

Kaidan showed up, heard the directions, and stared at Anakin in befuddlement.

Then he went to find caffeine. Lots and lots of caffeine. There wasn't coffee, but there was cola, and that would do. He found a cup practically big enough to bathe in and filled it.

Come take this fish!

[sith_happened]

"Kanan, the fish is yours!" Anakin said. "Don't argue, just take it."

[OOC: Oh, RNG, I laughed a million years.]

OOC

HOW IS IT AUGUST, NO. UNCOOL.

What no baby bumblebee? XD Also sorry for not waiting for the ocd, I really *do* need caffeine today.

Re: OOC

[sith_happened]

Convince your fellow musicians to sing it and go for it! I just got tired of linking songs :D

Re: OOC

[spectre_alenko]

I don't think he'd know it but I spent five summers as a camp counselor so this is going to be hell. XD Thank you!

Re: Arrive and Mingle!

[uncertain_dume]

Alright, so far, Kanan had managed to avoid the fish. This was doable. This was totally survivable. He'd just come in, sing his piece - ahahaha shit - and leave again.

Maybe he'd start with a hot dog and then try to figure out what to do about this situation. Yeah.

Re: OOC

[uncertain_dume]

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH OH MY GOD I'M DYING.

Kanan: I hate you no less, Skywalker.

Re: Create Your Instruments~

[uncertain_dume]

Okay. Maybe if he just kept his head down, this would work out. Kanan grabbed four rubber bands and strung them around a coat-hanger, then plunked at them a few times just to be sure they made different sounds.

"Easy."

Now what the hell should he do with the rest of that hour?

Re: Group Sing!

[uncertain_dume]

These songs were stupid, but Kanan could manage. They had the words, after all. If he just kind of mumbled his way through, plunking at his little rubber band guitar thing, he'd do just fine.

For some reason he couldn't quite explain, he absolutely felt the need to clang his coat-hanger against a metal post while singing that last song, though.

CLANG.

Needed more banthabell.

Early as usual, Astrid found a good spot to sketch a little before everything got underway and maybe to have a hot dog. She wasn't even that hungry, but it just seemed like the vendors and the universe were trying to push that narrative, and who was she to argue?

Once the activity was announced, though, she had to snort, because this was going to get...interesting, yeah.

Re: Come take this fish!

[uncertain_dume]

"I hate you no less than I did before this day started," Kanan informed Anakin as he went to pick up the fish. It stared at him with that creepy glowing eye, now full of accusation after three days stuck behind a box of Krabby Patties.

"... Sithspit."

REY WOULD LIKE TO APOLOGIZE FOR THE TIMING BUT IM DYING.

Re: OOC

[uncertain_dume]

JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT IT WAS SAFE TO GO BACK IN THE FREEZER...

Re: Come take this fish!

[spectre_alenko]

Kaidan couldn't restrain a bark of laughter as he saw Kanan take the fish.

Re: Arrive and Mingle!

[throughaphase]

Kitty had avoided signing up for this since there were certain things she couldn't do, so she could just show up to this stuff and watch and enjoy it. It was great.

Re: Come take this fish!

[intraspective]

"Give it to me!" Ino hollered cheerfully.

Don't do it, Kanan. She'd just make it worse for the next people.

Re: Arrive and Mingle!

[intraspective]

Oh, Ino was laughing. Laughing so much.

This was ridiculous and amazing.

Re: Come take this fish!

[uncertain_dume]

"Not a kriffing chance," Kanan cheered back.

Because the fish was terrifying. Iris was moreso.

Re: Come take this fish!

[uncertain_dume]

Kanan was giving Kaidan an all too cheerful rude gesture.

Re: Create Your Instruments~

[spectre_alenko]

Kaidan had no idea what he was doing. He took a set of instructions randomly and gathered parts, and began doing some arcane thing involving glue and cardboard and little jingle bells.

The glue was getting everywhere. It was uncontrollable glue. He was not pleased.

Re: Come take this fish!

[spectre_alenko]

Kaidan gave it right back, grinning.
