Even Anakin wasn't going to invite the entire town to stand outside in radiation and next to a bomb just for a day of competition (though yes, he had considered in for a hot minute). Today's event was being held in the community center and the flickering lights and general malaise just kind of added to what would be the world's weirdest fashion show.

Because, yes, there was a catwalk set up down the center, currently being sat upon by a small herd (committee? Murder?) of gremlins.

"Today we will reprise last year's highly popular gremlin fashion show," Anakin yelled into the completely unnecessary bullhorn.

It was only popular if you'd talked to Sparkle and Brooke, who'd been judges last year, but details. "You will be paired up!" Anakin continued. "You will have a variety of crafting supplies including macrame patterns, felt, rope, yarn, glue, staplers, and stun guns!"

Stun guns were craft supplies if you squinted? Maybe?

"You will have a half hour to create your masterpiece, another fifteen minutes to fit your model into it without getting bitten--" so good luck with that, "and then send him, her, or them down the runway for our guest judges to assess your work!"

He gestured at the chairs next to the runway. "Please welcome--" he frowned as Beaker handed him the list, "--Sparkle, Brooke, Keyleth, and..Camden."

This wasn't exactly what he meant when he'd asked Beaker to round up some catty judges. Oh well!

"Listen for your names!"

"Not terribly likely," Fjord mumbled under his breath. A little more loudly, he added, "Right behind you, Ma'am."

Which, uh, wouldn't be conducive to getting her to the proper place at all.

"... Beside you," he amended. "Right beside you."

It wouldn't have taken much; Jessica was going to wind on Fjord's arm no matter what as they made their way to this supposed detective, but it didn't take long her feel the need to be tremblingly clinging there once they were outside and she got a look at the place.

Forget anything regarding what she was doing there in the first place, that clearly wasn't important right now.

"What happened here?" she asked. Clearly aghast. And clinging.

So, so much clinging.

... In hindsight, Fjord probably could have thought 'get Amaya home safely' through better. Maybe kept her occupied with fashion design or something until the venom wore off. The whole post-calamity landscape out there was, uh...

"Nobody's quite sure," he ventured, and then mumbled a, "but I'm gonna pull out a big-assed sword to make sure nothin' happens between here and where we're goin', if that won't bother you none."

He felt like, perhaps, full-disclosure with a trembling, envenomed Amaya clinging to his arm was probably the better part of valor, here.

Just as the shape of Jessica's body seemed to defy the laws of physics and logic itself, her clinging defied all possibility in getting even clingier, pressing even closer, though one hand seemed to drift up in a way to confirm the muscles assumed with such a claim.

"Then I don't have anything to worry about," Jessica all but cooed, somewhere in the vicinity of his ear (of course), "with such a big...strong man and his big...powerful sword to protect me."

"It's... definitely... ah." Fjord cleared his throat, momentarily distracted by that roving hand. Yeah. The muscles were there, it was good to have that affirmation, wasn't it? And now there was also a falchion, in a splash of seawater as he held out his hand and called the sword into it.

"Yeah," he added, after another pause. "Nothin' to worry about at all."

He'd just get her home and that'd be that, wouldn't it? It wasn't like the forge was that far from here...

"Then I guess you're just gonna have to take my word for it," he decided, smugly. Even though that smugness had no basis in reality.

He grabbed another handful of popcorn. "Though you should've competeted in this thing, still," he added. "You would've crushed everyone." Yes, even if it was gremlin fashion and not human fashion. "Or is that exactly why you're judging?"

"I'm judging because the week I sign up is the week I have to run an obstacle course through radioactive sludge, so I stay out of it," Brooke admitted. "But Anakin knows a ringer when he sees one."
