fandomhigh | Arts & Crafts Workshop #2, Dining Hall, 05.29.06, Afternoon

[OOC: How did you spend your Memorial Day? By scrapbooking and getting lei'd in Tick's class. I'm here all day for once, yay! Hence the slacking and not getting this posted sooner.]

When everyone had assembled in the dining hall, The Tick smiled and greeted them. "Hello, campers! I don't know if you've had a chance to see the schedule for Friday events yet, but in honor of the Luau that will be happening this week, we'll be making leis!"

"On each of your tables, you should find instructions, forty-five inch strings of dental floss, a large sewing needle, and up here at the front is a large selection of medium-size flowers to use. When you're done making your lei, please display it in on the front table here. I'll go ahead and have the dining staff store them in a refrigerator and if you want your lei for Friday, let you can ~~handwavily~~ retrieve them then."

"You got a good start with your scrapbooks last week. This week, I want you to start detailing it with text. Whether you want to write about your experiences over the past week, or just use random words to express your feelings. Think about how you want to use them. Up at the front table we have colored pens, markers, old magazines, scissors, and gluesticks. Get creative!"

"In a couple weeks, the Friday event will be an Art Fair. I want everyone here to have something in it, so please think about what you can do that you would want to display for the school to see."

For the making of leis and talking while doing such.

Jaye, yes, is going to have another giggle fit in class. She's better than last week, though, and her lei is going to be pretty. She might wear it to girlkissy later. Because it's funny.

Sakurazaki isn't quite sure what the giggling is about, but she does know that isn't exactly happy about the endevour. Something about making a lei makes her nervous. Since they're real leis and not some cheap plastic, she isn't even going to be able to give it Ojou-sama, which is where she planned on dumping all these crafts since she's making her take it.

Picking mostly red, blue, and purple flowers, Sakurazaki takes a deep breath, focuses her chi, and put all her energy into delicately threading the flowers. She is very focused, tongue slightly darting out as she concentrates, mostly unaware of anything else, because she knows that the moment she gets distracted, she'll end up with a needle through her fingers or something.

Kaylee begins working on what she hopes will be a perfect, shiny lei. She picks mostly pink and purple flowers.

Jaye's seen this girl in class before, but she finally has to say something. "Do I know you?" she asks.

"No, I don't think we've officially met. I'm Kaylee," she says with a grin.

"Jaye," she says, still looking at her like she ~~meta-ly~~ might know her from somewhere. "Huh. Never been to Niagara Falls?"

"Nope," Kaylee says. "Never even heard of it. Fandom's the only place I been to on this planet."

"Oh, okay, definitely don't know you then. Came here straight from outer space, huh?" Jaye asks. This is totally not weird to her anymore.

Kaylee nods. "Guess you're not new then, huh? You asked that like it's somethin' normal."

"Yeah, it's kinda old hat," she admits. "Between the green people and the blue people and the aliens and all? Space is totally normal."

"Even though I'm from space, I never met an alien until I came here."

"I don't think we have a ton anymore," she says. "Mostly humans from space. Which just inspires conspiracy theories."

"I wonder if there are any theories about humans from the future," Kaylee muses.

"Ooh!" says Jaye. "Maybe? Humans from the future were sent back in time to overthrow the government so they don't take away our coffee."

Kaylee laughs. "Oh yeah, that's exactly why I was sent back. And also so they don't take away strawberries."

"...You don't have strawberries?" Jaye asks, jaw dropped.

"We do, they're just kinda hard to get bein' in the middle of space and all," Kaylee explained.

Tempe set to work on her lei. She took the piece of dental floss and threaded it through the needle. She grabbed flowers of all the colors of the rainbow and began threading them onto the dental floss.

When she was done, she tied off the floss and adjusted the flowers.

She patted it lovingly. As such, some of the glitter from her glitter attack yesterday, which still covered her quite nicely, transferred to the flowers.

The result? A pretty rainbow lei, with glitter accents.

Luna pulled some of the floss through the eye of her needle and set to work, selecting flowers as she went, seemingly at random.

The further she gets along, it becomes clear that her crafting project is no where near lei shaped.

Bridge starts to work on his lei. Strangely, most of the flowers seem to be of the same colour. Wonder what that could be?

Seras threaded found some white flowers which she quite liked the shape of and some darkish green leaves to complement them.

She threaded her needle and set to work.

About five minutes in to her work, she decided that she was going to make one of those shorter leis that you wore on your head.

Bloody needle. Ow.

Seras foraged on, muffling her curses. Where was a thimble when you needed one?

Hamlet grabs a handful of dark coloured flowers and started gradually sowing them into a lei. If he was going to be forced to wear a lei, it would at least match with the rest of his black wardrobe.

Maia decided on a mixture of pink and white flowers for her lei. Carefully tying a knot after each flower she added Maia finished up and headed over to the scrapbook table

Sakura's lei is pink. To the point of possible eye-bleeding.

There's not much more to be said about it.
