"Today we'll do something slightly less physical," Anakin announced through his bullhorn, "though really, if you think about it, it could get a little physical."

That boded well.

"This week, teams do not get t-shirts--" Things were looking up! "--because you may use the fabric from them--and from all the other shirts and socks--to create fashion!"

And no one knew fashion like a guy who'd been wearing a robe for the better part of 40 years.

Beaker meeped next to him. "Right," Anakin added because this part was important. "Fashion for gremlins! It will be entertaining. Your gremlin will need something to cover their body as well as some sort of hat! You will work in teams of four! Try not to get bitten!"

He waved them towards tables full of ~~moddable~~ materials: fabric, lace, twine, buttons, zippers, old macramé gremlin outfits...

TEAM ONE
Alara
Summer
Nick
Rosa

TEAM TWO
Beaker
Amaya
Rey
Faye

TEAM THREE
Wanda
Steve M
Stark
Sidon

TEAM FOUR
Tahani
Belle
Lydia
Tisarwat

TEAM FIVE

Ignis
Clare

You get some time to make outfits until your models ~~are released from their cages~~ arrive! Make it work, people. Make it work.

"Whatever we make," Summer suggested, "I propose we start with a muzzle."

She knew how these things could go!

"Is that some new fashion thing?"

Of course Nick didn't really understand about the gremlins.

"If it actually prevents them from biting any of us?" said Rosa, who shrugged. "Yeah. Sure. Why not?"

Personally, she would not care at all if any of them besides herself got bit, especially Baby Linetti, but still...

"I vote we make a dress," Faye suggested immediately. "One piece, call it a day."

"All I know," Amaya supplied, "is that I have a very bad track record with this event, so I'll take on any task as long as it's away from the gremlin."

"Meep meep MEEP," Beaker said vehemently. "Mee meep meep meep," he added in a mutter.

Faye considered their reactions thoughtfully. Yes, Beaker's too. That was some emphatic meeping.

"Straitjacket?" she suggested with a lifted brow, already eyeing the materials to see what could be used as a restraint.

Okay, weird, but at least it shouldn't be too physically taxing. "I mean, I can hold the thing still once we've got the clothes ready."

Not actually touching it, of course. She wasn't insane.

"You can? That's good. I don't want to be close enough to hold it."

He'd gone this long without a single bite. It would be a shame to ruin that streak.

"Yeah," she said with a nod, letting some wisps of red come out of her hand. "I mean, I doubt they could get away from me, anyway."

So as long as no one, like, tackled her or elsewise broke her concentration they should be good.

Tackling seemed unlikely!

"That should make it easier. Keep everyone from getting bitten in case it doesn't really want to be clothed."

The gremlin didn't particularly look like it wanted a new outfit.

"Do you think a veil would count as a hat?" Lydia proposed, immediately making a beeline for the lace.

"As long as it covers a bit of their head it ought to count," Belle said.

"Well, covering their face would go a long way towards making the gremlin cuter to look at," Tahani said uncharitably.

Tisarwat looked very much like she couldn't agree with a statement more.

"And she should have gloves," she added, gravely underestimating how difficult it would be to give a gremlin gloves.

But it just seemed proper.

"Naturally," said Shunsui, trying not to be too disappointed in the make-up of his team, "I'm incline to suggest something like a robe...♥."

Because it was simple and easy and someone else could do the work and he could return to napping.

"Well, I don't know about that," said Ignis, speculatively looking over their prospective model. "I think we could do well to take this opportunity to make this fellow quite dapper. I am an excellent hand with a needle..."

Was he already thinking of a nice vest and button-down? Yes. Yes he was.

"I'm pretty good at hemming," Clare offered. Because Clare was short and therefore Clare was good at hemming.

"And I would very much like to not get bitten today," Ben said. "Gremlins think Skywalkers are delicious. No idea why."
