Camp Shenanigans, Wednesday, August 8, 2018

There was a giant stage in the middle of the park today. Are you worried, people whose names were about to be called?

Good.

"Today, inspired by the public service announcements you see in PE class," Anakin began, "you lucky chosen ones will get to write and perform an informational puppet show with sock puppets you create yourselves! Since you were so good at the instruments last week."

They were not that good at the instruments last week.

"You will be paired up and then spin the wheel of topics--" he waved his hand helpfully at a giant wheel in front of the stage, "and then perform before all of us. The second most impressive skit--by whatever metric I choose to use to measure that--wins the fish."

He waved his hand and the fish, now resplendent in a steampunk top hat and jetpack, flew into his hand, still warbling the Beastie Boys. He winced slightly. "Maybe by the time you pick it up, it will have stopped singing 'I'm a Little Teapot' directly into your brain."

He didn't sound that optimistic.

"Around here, it's probably the education everyone kinda needs," Norman pointed out. "I can pick out a few I would've liked to have when I was new."

"Like which ones?" Brooke would absolutely make sure they got one of those.

"The one about being naked," Norman admitted, blushing slightly. "And figuring out how to escape the library, a little."

It was dangerous in there, okay?

"The naked one is probably easier to explain," Brooke said. "I don't know that I've ever been in the library...?"

Norman considered for a moment.

....

"Naked sock puppets would be easier to make, too," he offered. "All you need are little black squares of felt."

Because it was a sock puppet show. That sucker was getting a censor bar.

Brooke stopped herself from calling him a prude, but only because he was a student. "Fine. And it's not like I want to be too good making clothes anyway."

The fish scared her, she was just bored.

"Shall I do the fake spinning honors?"

Norman nodded and gestured to the wheel.

"It's all yours," he replied, easily.

Oh, if only he was aware of now narrowly he escaped prudishness. He just thought little black bars on socks would be funnier.

gobrookeyourself: (satisfied)

Brooke made a big show of going to spin it... and then made sure it spun two spots to the one she wanted. "Oh look, we got the naked one!" she said, totally shocked by this turn of events.

"How in the world did that happen?"

It was because you were cheaters, Norman. Terrible cheaters. But cheaters didn't generally get second place, right? So this was strategic fish avoidance, which he as okay with.

gobrookeyourself: (yay from me)

"We're so lucky!" Brooke said, luckily. ""Let's go make weird naked puppets."
