Sparkly Destruction - Arts & Crafts That You Can Use, Thursday

[magnusrushesin]

Class was outside, because Cara was already dubious enough about this whole thing without having to clean up inside after. "So, all of you are interested in sparkly destruction."

Oh, like they'd clean anything. They'd just put a sheet over the glitter and hope for the best.

"Heck yeah you do!" Magnus cheered. He already had glitter in his beard. How did it get there? That was a mystery for the Reddit.

That pretty much described Magnus in general, really. "Since you've brought this on yourselves, we're going to start you off in the deep end with 'the most dangerous weapon'." Finger quotes were beneath what remained of Cara's dignity, but you could hear them.

"It's very scary," Magnus added, totally failibg that intimidation check. Like hard. "The scariest thing you can face."

He pulled back a tiny, tiny cover to reveal dice.

"It's luck!"

Cara's face was the face of someone who'd recently spent a non-zero amount of time trying to figure out how to murder people with dice. "They're deadly," she deadpanned.

"You can whip them at someone really hard," Magnus suggested. "Or punch someone with them. Or..."

Yeah. Magnus was there with her.

"If you want to be lazy we have some dice you can just stick glitter too," Cara said. "Or you can try making your own." If you could figure out how.

Well, you can roll for initiative once you finish your dice.

Craft Time!

The glitter gets everywhere.

You should just be glad they weren't demanding introductions.

Clearly the proper way to make destructive dice was to make them extremely large.

Which was definitely why Mae was painting sparkly dots on large rocks. They would not be super efficient to roll, but they would be properly deadly!

Re: Craft Time!

[magnusrushesin]

"Hell yeah! The biggest dice!" Magnus cheered.

Re: Craft Time!

[thishouseishaunted]

Mae paused in her painting to fling her arms wide. Which sent spatters of sparkly paint every which way, since she didn't, say, put her brush down first.

"WoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO!!!!!"

These two were going to be so obnoxious together, weren't they.

Re: Craft Time!

[magnusrushesin]

It was gonna be great.

"Hell yeah!"

Wayne felt the need to point out for the record that he was not, nor would he ever be, interested in sparkly destruction.

Destruction, oh, yeah, sure. Sometimes you needed some destruction in your life. The word alone just made him want to go blow up some beaver dams. He was sort of wondering what they were doing by not blowing up beaver dams right now.

But sparkly?

That's a hard no.

But thinking of blowing up beaver dams was definitely causing him to go rooting through the supplies to see what might be in there to help make dice explosive.

Which meant he was getting glitter all over his shirt.

Well. It had a good run, this shirt. It served him well, but he knew there was no going back from this much glitter. So it was a good thing he had probably at least half a dozen of them with pretty much the same flannel patterned, perhaps slightly different.

Re: Craft Time!

"You've got something on your shirt," Mae said. Because she was a little shit helpful like that.

Re: Craft Time!

[howareyanow]

And she seemed to have something on her face. Namely...cat things.

Wayne was thinking he much preferred talking dogs to talking cats, especially when those talking cats were also just walking around and making giant dice like humans. It was like when bears walked on their hind legs, too. Just didn't...feel right.

So he just sort of looked at Mae, brow furrowed with his discomfort with this whole thing, and then looked down at his shirt, pulling it out a little for a better look.

And trying to rub the glitter off his thumb and forefinger.

"That's unfortunate," he murmured.

Re: Craft Time!

[thishouseishaunted]

Mae, on the other hand, figured this guy was a lot like her friend Angus. Who Wayne would probably say looked like a bear on two legs wearing glasses.

But he had that whole quiet, stoic thing going on.

So she just nodded along, her amusement shown in her small smile and the twitch of her battered ear.

"It's the danger of glitter. Once it's on you, you're doomed forever. You'll probably have to burn it."

Shuri was deeply confused by this assignment. Maybe the dice were to be used like komoyo beads?

Hers would be programmed to be communicators, at least, which was why Shuri had a tiny soldering iron up against the rocks (smaller than Mae's) she'd chosen to use.

Re: Craft Time!

[magnusrushesin]

"Ummmm." Magnus sort of just let that hang in the air.

Re: Craft Time!

[scoffs_at_tradition]

Shuri looked up. "Am I doing it wrong?"

Re: Craft Time!

[teensybitdeadly]

Sure was a nice soldering iron you had there, Shuri. Be a shame if someone tried to steal it as soon as you put it down.

And by 'someone,' the narrative meant 'some hair.'

Re: Craft Time!

[scoffs_at_tradition]

"Hey!" Shuri cried out as soon as she noticed it missing. "Bring that back!"

Sabine could be painting dice. But if she was making them deadly, then she was going to sit here with her sketchbook and work some things out, like what size the dice would have to be to contain what amount of which explosives in order to do any real damage, and if there was going to be glitter then she needed a paint job/explosive color that was worthy of it. Ooh, maybe smoke bombs?

"I can't work on this in here, can I bring it in tomorrow?"

Re: Craft Time!

[magnusrushesin]

"Yes? Yes. Yes??" Magnus was lost. "Are you gonna turn it into a shuriken?"

Why did he sound so hyped about that? Because he wanted to Naruto run, that's why.

Re: Craft Time!

[seriesofbaddecisions]

"No," she said slowly, a little curious why she'd jumped to that. "I have some thoughts but don't exactly have my equipment in class."

...She figured she could probably bring some to class from now on.

Re: Craft Time!

[teensybitdeadly]

Okay, but what if you made dice that transformed into tiny little robots! Wouldn't that be cuuuute?

Entrapta was sitting on the floor, tinkering with her dice, hair occasionally attempting to steal tools from other people.

...As you did.

Magnus somehow had more glitter in his beard.

OOC

I'm melting.
