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!"

Elli looked deeply confused.

"Why are we making floats to celebrate wars?"

That seemed like a thing that shouldn't be celebrated to her?

"I don't think," Astrid offered, "it's so much to celebrate the war, as much as it is to celebrate the victory in that war. And remember the history of it and honor the people who fought in those wars."

Elli smiled gratefully at Astrid.

"That does make more sense," she admitted. "Do you have any ideas as to where to start with our float?"

"I say we take all the red, white, and blue material so we corner the market on it." Tony, no.

"Maybe not all of it," Steve said. "We can definitely leave the shirtless George Washington stuff for the 1776 people."

Such a giver!
