[OOC: Getting this out of the way before sleep, yays. Interaction will be light from me due to work, but if you ping me in the Talk To Tick thread, I'll get to you ASAP.

Get in the threads, get talking to one another (project threads are intended primarily for student interaction, of course), and make some art! And crafts! Workshop info post will be written after work.]

As per a ~~handwavey~~ bulletin in the main camp activities area, The Tick's Arts & Crafts workshop met in the dining hall/activity area after lunchtime.

"Hello, campers!" Tick said when everyone was in a seat. "In case you don't know me, I am The Tick! Feel free to call me Professor, Tick, sir, or something else you feel would be appropriate to call your instructor."

"Throughout the session, you'll be working on two things. Every week, we'll be working on some kind of activity. These will be smaller projects. Today, for example, I'd like you to take some popsicle sticks and some sort of adhesive - we have glue, wood glue, rubber cement, duct tape, and a couple staplers - and make something that makes you think of Justice. It can be anything as long as it means Justice to you!"

"Additionally, every week, you'll be working on a long-term project. We will be making scrapbooks! Yes, campers! We're scrapbooking. Everyone here will working on their own scrapbooks, but if you need help for some reason, ask someone else to lend a hand! These scrapbooks will be detailing your time here this summer. Your thoughts, your impressions, your feelings. And hopefully, if everyone puts a good amount of work into their scrapbooks, we can all have some fun with it! At the end of the session, we'll take a look at everyone's scrapbooks, of course, and the person with the best scrapbook might just win a special prize! All of your scrapbooking supplies are on this side of the table. Feel free to ~~mod~~ take whatever you might need!"

"Let's get to work, chums!"

Hamlet followed after The Tick and nodded appreciatively at his scrapbooks.

"These look very well done. And so large, as well."

"Thank you, Hamlet! These scrapbooks represent a lot of my life's work, so I'm glad they're appreciated," Tick said.

Hamlet ran his hand over the cover of the book. It seemed to be fairly sturdy and made of good quality paper. He wondered to himself about how he could possibly make something this nice by the end of the summer.

"What do you having in there? Friends, family, heroic exploits? I would be curious to see what's underneath the blue cover, if you wouldn't mind showing me."

"Sure!" Tick said. He opened the cover of one of the books. "These are my superhero friends from The City. The guy in the moth suit is my former sidekick, Arthur. And the guy with the spikey helmet is Sewer Urchin. And the really big guy in the background is a villain called The Human Ton. And that's Handy on his hand. He's an evil puppet."

"The glitter around that picture represents Justice. And the green paper? Justice. And the spiral binding is definitely Justice."

"These are even more impressive once you see the inside, and the glitter adds a great deal to heighten the effect. I had no idea that so many different elements could all represent the same ideal of Justice."

He looked over at The Tick "Is that the reason you scrapbook then? For Justice?"

"No. I just think it's a fun hobby," Tick said.
