Arts & Crafts, Friday

[imafuturist]

There was a collection of fabric, wire, and twine for class today. And the usual level of ambient glitter, of course. You just had to be used to it by now, folks. It was what happened when arts and/or crafts were around this island.

"So, we're supposed to be making some 3D fabric animals," Tony said, looking a little concerned. "And hopefully yours turn out better than ours."

That horse was an abomination.

"There's got to be a knack to it," Steve muttered stubbornly. "We...just haven't found it yet."

"It looks like something you'd seen in The Omen," Tony replied. Because it did, kids. "Or The Crucible."

"I'm positive they won't come to life and roam the woods, though," Steve said reassuringly.

Why would you put that out into the universe, Steve? Why? Tony froze in place and then turned to stare at Steve. Because now it was gonna be A Thing.

Steve gave him what he erroneously thought was a winning smile in reply. "It's fine!"

Make an Animal!

[imafuturist]

Was it possible to make one that wasn't terrifying? Maybe.

It's also possible that the terrifying-ness quotient increased with the number of legs. So why Liam had picked an eight-legged beast of burden from some planet his father had visited eons ago was a very good question.

Talk to the Teachers

Who were probably arguing over if they should burn the horse to save the island.

"I made a dinosaur!" Steve declared. "If you squint."

And are feeling really, really generous.

Re: Talk to the Teachers

"If that ends up scaring the dog, I'm blaming you," Tony replied, not really seeing the dinosaur thing. It looked more like a sleep paralysis demon.

"Oh, Patriot definitely needs a new toy," Steve agreed, reaching for more supplies.

Patriot didn't deserve this cruelty, Steve.

Re: Talk to the Teachers

[imafuturist]

"Steve, no," Tony whispered very quietly.

Re: Talk to the Teachers

[heroic_jawline]

"No?" Steve asked, all big eyes. "I mean, they're a little terrifying now, but I think I'm getting better at them."

Not fast enough, Steve.

Re: Talk to the Teachers

[imafuturist]

Tony shook his head because he had to put his foot down on this one. "No traumatizing the dog."

Re: Talk to the Teachers

[heroic_jawline]

"Yeah, you're right," Steve admitted. "These are terrifying."

Re: Talk to the Teachers

[imafuturist]

"We can never,listen to Pinterest again for craft ideas." That much was true.

Re: Talk to the Teachers

[heroic_jawline]

"We'll remember that for next time."

They might for a few weeks.

Re: Talk to the Teachers

Until they couldn't come up with a class and the demon horse beckoned.

"You know, if we give it wings, it could be the Jersey Devil."

Tony, no.

Re: Talk to the Teachers

[heroic_jawline]

Steve laughed. "Drive to the woods and leave it there? Not on this island?"

Definitely a good idea.

Re: Talk to the Teachers

[imafuturist]

"In no way am I going to the Pine Barrens." Where it would feel at home! Amongst people with an unholy mix of Jersey and Pennsylvania accents.

Re: Talk to the Teachers

[heroic_jawline]

"It'll be fun!" Steve insisted without any proof.

Re: Talk to the Teachers

[imafuturist]

"You've said that about skydiving without a parachute," Tony replied with a wry sort of fondness.

Re: Talk to the Teachers

[heroic_jawline]

"That's fun too, but just for me," Steve said.

That horse will haunt my dreams.
