"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 Three

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.

Re: Team Three

[stykera]

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.

"Maybe we can just stick a t-shirt on it? Them? Him? And call it a day," Steve suggested.

This was exactly how he dressed himself.

Re: Team Three

"And a hat!" Sidon enthused brightly, far more than the situation probably needed. "We mustn't forget the hat!

"Perhaps," he offered, "we should ask what the gremlin should like to wear?"

As a non-clothes-wearee himself, Sidon would have appreciated that kind of consideration, were the roles reversed!

Re: Team Three

[stykera]

"I'm not sure they speak. Do they? I've never heard one speak," Stark said.

"I suppose we could try?"

Re: Team Three

[grenadesandohana]

"What's the worst that could happen?" Steve said, clearly tempting the wrath from high atop the thing.

Re: Team Three

"I, for one," said Sidon boldly, "have yet to meet a gremlin I didn't like!"

Well, a gremlin bite lead to him revealing to his true love his affections and have them reciprocated in kind, so his attitude toward the whole experience was a little...unique.

"And one does not necessarily need words to express one's self! Let us ask him! And see what fantastic costume we can make for him henseforth! With confidence in his apparal, he is sure to be the most dapperly dressed of them all based solely on that fact!"

Said the man with no clothes at all.

Well. Exccept the ascot.
