[sith_happened]

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!"

Arrive and Mingle

[sith_happened]

No snacks today due to dystopia, but there was plenty of time to mingle!

"Listen for your names!" Anakin yelled, then read off the following pairs:

1. Jono & Juillenne
2. Hera & Kitty
3. Prompto & Hannibal
4. Wayne & Aeryn
5. Beaker & Kanan
6. Lana & Summer

[OOC: Please label your thread with your pairing number for ease of finding each other. Getting bit by a gremlin is ABSOLUTELY ENCOURAGED.]

Judges Being Catty

[sith_happened]

Watch as everyone works and chat amongst yourselves before the main event!

Take a Little Turn on the Catwalk

[sith_happened]

Please link up to a picture or description of your Amazing Creation so that the judges may mock you mock you!

[OOC: The RNG declares that Lana & Summer win, followed by Nina & Mae, then Zack & Pastor Carter.]

OOC

[sith_happened]

The RNG has blessed us with some amazing pairings today.

"Oh, good," Kanan said, looking sidelong at Beaker. "There's no way this doesn't end in one or both of us being tied to a gremlin."

Pair 3

[sharp_man]

Hannibal was rather disgruntled about not being able to judge this instead of participating. That said, he was going to have the best-damn-dressed gremlin ever!

He was already collecting the puce and magenta scraps to weave them together into a nice plaid.

Re: Judges Being Catty

[myownface]

"Oh thank god," Sparkle said, peering at the scraps people were given to work with. "Maybe with actual fabric, we won't have to worry so much about accidental gremlin cleavage this year."

There was a pause, and then he held up a flask.

"And I brought booze again. You might need it."

... Even you, kitties.

Re: Create!!! - Team 13

[handystand]

Okuyasu stared for a second at the gremlins as he gathered some materials.

"...they kind of look like my dad."

Oh, buddy.

Re: Create!!! - Team 5

[meepmeepmeep]

"Meep meep meep meep," Beaker agreed, looking resigned.

Re: Create!!! - Team 5

[uncertain_dume]

"Well, we might as well make it good anyway," Kanan sighed. "If I'm going to spend the rest of my afternoon thinking I'm a talking cockroach or something, I want to at least go into this knowing there was some effort involved."

Re: Create!!! - Team 13

[revengenotebook]

"That is terrifying and also not the point," Paris said, bustling up with a handful of macrame patterns. "Do you know how to macrame? I learned for this thing last year."

As normal people do, apparently.

Re: Create!!! - Team 7

[scoffs_at_tradition]

"What is happening," Shuri asked, eyes wide as she stared at the gremlins.

Re: Create!!! - Team 1

[furnaceface]

//Right,// said Jono, who had wrapped himself up for the occasion mostly because he didn't much trust these events to not end in something unfortunate for him. Particularly this week.

This week he'd woken up to realize that he was three-for-three now with experience in those realities that people had been dragged to the first time anyone had experienced this particular wasteland, and he'd been camped out at home refusing to acknowledge it until today.

//So, dressing a gremlin. Can't possibly go wrong.//

Why did he continue to live here?

Re: Create!!! - Team 5

[meepmeepmeep]

"Meep meep!" Beaker said stoutly, reaching for a glue gun.

"MEEP MEEP MEEP!"

Don't grab it hot part first, Beaker.

Re: Create!!! - Team 10

[built_fjord_tough]

"Well, this could've worked out worse," Fjord mused, turning a grin Amaya's way. "Looks like we get to exercise our fashion skills this week, hm?"

... Fjord's armor was cobbled together from multiple armor pieces and it was possible that he'd stolen the red rope on them from somebody's curtains or something, so sure, this would go great.

Re: Create!!! - Team 5

[uncertain_dume]

Kanan just sighed, resigned, and reached for a puce shirt.

If he had to wear puce, so did the gremlins, dammit.

"Other end, buddy."

Re: Create!!! - Team 12

[puppy_fair]

"Okay!" Zack was bouncing on his toes a little, yes. "We have this handled. The hardest part is going to be getting the clothes just right, I think."

He totally had faith in his ability to dress a gremlin, apparently.

Re: Create!!! - Team 5

[meepmeepmeep]

"Meep," Beaker said, putting the glue gun back down and holding out a mustard shirt.

Puce and mustard went together, right?

Re: Create!!! - Team 13

[handystand]

Okuyasu shook his head. "I can sew, though!"

You couldn't exactly buy as customized of a school uniform as Okuyasu's from the shop.

"We could turn a t-shirt into long tube dress or something? Give it some real nineties flair?"

To be fair, he was from the nineties.

Re: Judges Being Catty

[goldfishontherocks]

Keyleth had been asked to be catty, and she could totally do that! Which was why she was here in her tiger form!

. . . no, she didn't realize there was another, more figurative meaning to the term, or she might not have agreed to this so readily.

Re: Create!!! - Team 5

[uncertain_dume]

About as well as orange-red and chartreuse would, so really, this combination was about as solid as any other they could've gone for.

"Sure," Kanan said, striding gamely into this decision with all the fashion sense of a radroach. "We can use the mustard as accents on the puce, maybe... cut out little flower shapes or something."

Kanan realized a moment too late that he'd just suggested Beaker do anything that involved cutting things.

Re: Create!!! -- Team 11

[thishouseishaunted]

"DIBS ON THE STUN GUN!"

This couldn't possibly go wrong.

Re: Create!!! -- Team 9

[intotheout]

Tip grabbed a stapler and a mustard colored shirt. She looked at the gremlins, and grabbed an orange-red one.

This was maybe going to be a very autumnal gremlin.

Re: Create!!! - Team 5

[meepmeepmeep]

Too late, Kanan! Beaker already had scissors and had cut up the shirt into small pieces that could be considered flowers if you were looking for it VERY HARD.

And were feeling generous.

And someone told you they were flowers.
