Summer Shenanigans, Wednesday, July 1

[sith_happened]

Did Anakin care that it was a break week from workshops? He did not.

Did he care about the incessant sounds from the loon following him around? Slightly more, yeah, but glaring at the bird did nothing.

"This week we celebrate the national days of two countries on this continent," Anakin began grandly as everyone gathered in the park. "With parades and explosions, though I've been told not at the same time."

He couldn't help but sounding a little disappointed about that revelation. "So today you will work together in teams to make thematically appropriate--" as determined by a guy not even from this planet who married a girl from a small New England town that celebrated many, many things that weren't actually holidays, "--parade floats and matching costumes. You have all day and many, many craft supplies!"

Because really, what else was going on?

"Listen for your names!"

"O Canada!" Sidon, completely unintentially, somehow managed to strike the notes of the anthem out of sheer enthusiasm, although it dissipated quickly, as he continued on with his excitement and his typical rallying of his troops when he managed to make it for one of these activities. "Marvelous! Why, I already even have the right coloring to perhaps even represent their spectacular flag!"

"Canada," Jules mused. "That's... one of the neighboring kingdoms, isn't it?"

"Canada's great!" Mae said. "They have . . . beavers?"

She knew next to nothing about Canada.

"And French," offered Rosa, helpfully.

Too bad Blackstone wasn't in on this one, then maybe they could have some horrifying animatronic French-speaking beavers...

"So, beavers is what I'm getting." Because it was also the only cultural touchstone he had here.

"Totally!" Mae agreed. "And . . . I want to say . . . syrup?"

No one should be trusting Mae to be an authority on anything.
