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!

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."
