Wednesday Afternoon Assembly, Wednesday, December 9, 2020

[sith_happened]

Today the students were meeting Anakin in front of Portalocity. "I am your special guest speaker today," he said, "and so I am going to provide an introduction to this festive winter season. The best way I can think of is to, frankly, not be on this island. We need to go to the heart of the action."

He looked decidedly unthrilled. "We're going to a mall."

In 1993.

"In a slightly different timeline," he added. "We will first help out packing up baskets for the holidays for people who are food insecure--" Anakin remembered too well what that felt like, "--and then we will be going to a mall to shop for gifts--credits will be provided--for moddable children at the shelter. And you can stand in line and meet Santa."

That red-coated weirdo.

"I am here to answer any questions."

Yes, ask the guy from another galaxy about this holiday. It'll go well!

Help out at the food bank!

[sith_happened]

Looooots of big cardboard boxes, and even more canned goods to sort evenly into each one. Go by the moddable lists and help out!

This was definitely where Wayne felt he could be utilized best, packing those boxes with alacrity and precision and honestly quite content to do this part of it all day if he could. Especially since this part was all charitables and no kids.

"Oh, Wayne!" Elli called out, when another volunteer jostled her. "Help, please!"

Or else she was going to drop her stack of canned goods everywhere.

Wayne was almost there jus' about as soon as he saw that stack starting toward tipping.

"Way ya go," he said shortly as he went to relieve her of the stack entirely. "Careful there, Elli."

Miles was always willing to lend a helping hand and in this particular case he was hauling around large boxes of canned goods that was way to big for a kid his size to handle.

Shuri was trying to come up with a easy, efficient and inexpensive conveyer belt system in her head as she worked. The giant cans of green beans were heavy.

Sure, 'Yana could do this. And if, occasionally, she seemed to move a little faster at it than she should, well, that's what magic was for, right? For doing Good Things?

Lana was still utterly confused by this whole charity thing (both the people needing it and the people giving it), but it was hardly the oddest thing about Earth.

So she was sorting and carrying things. Probably heavier things than it looked like she ought to be able to carry, but if anybody was bothered by that, they could get lost.
