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.
Good.

"No," she concluded, and it was a very hard no. "No, definitely not. I still have a few more weeks of that class, and I actually like that one. I think....Captain America can narrate; that's sort of what he does in the PSAs that I think this activity is based on. LIke, maybe it can be sort of a Do's and Don't?"
She dropped into what was apparent her Captain America voice, which you could probably only tell was supposed to be such because she moved the puppet around a little with it. "Here's what not to do after your roommate changes back. And a roommate puppet freaks out or something, and then Here's a better solution! And the roommate puppet respectfully gives the transforming puppet her space and privacy, and ta-dah."
....She had put way too much creative effort into this. and she kind of hated herself for that.

And then she lifted the puppet and out came the Captain America voice. "Strive for mediocrity! Shoot for so-so! It's the American way!"
...sorry, Steve.
Re: Make Your Puppets and Plot!
It might sound like she was talking about the Cap voice. Moreso, she was talking about the American thing.
Deal with it, America, the Mandalorian judged you a little.
