Characters: Open to all!
Content: Camping time!
Location: Nature Deck
Time of Day: Morning, a couple of days after 90's Kid's funeral-thingie
Warnings: Depends on if the campers behave.


After last week, Kotetsu figured everyone needed some cheering up. Thankfully, the satellite had done most of the work for him. He had been given a councilor's apparel and, dang it, he was taking it to heart.

There was a campfire ablaze near the lake, with hot dogs and marshmallows at the ready nearby. A couple of tables were set up for arts and crafts, so the kids could make birdhouses or dreamcatchers. He'd even managed to set up a small archery field. (The tips were suction cups. No need for any more tragedies.)

Whenever anyone signed in, he greeted them with an enthusiastic "Welcome to Camp S.O.L.!", then directed them towards the activities. Finally, he pointed out where the boys and girls tents were located, with a warning that he better not find anyone in the wrong tent.

Camp Anawana, we hold you in our hearts~

"I think white would look good, too." She hadn't meant to offer advice or criticism; she'd just been curious. "That's a little house, right?"

And when we think about you...

[crafty_punk]

"White it is, then!" Kanji didn't mind. He liked the feedback.

He grabbed some white paint and a new brush. "Yeah. They're supposed to be something you put out for bird to build nests in and stuff, I guess, but there ain't any birds around, so it's just kinda here to look pretty."

...This thing, it came apart.

[colorbymemory]

Namine smiled as she watched him finished painting. "So it's a house for birds? I didn't know people made those."

Having something around just to look pretty, that she can somewhat understand.

Think Anawanna-wanna, speak Anawanna-wanna..

[crafty_punk]

"Yeah, sometimes they use 'em, sometimes they don't." Kanji set down his brush and looked the birdhouse over. "You wanna paint one?"

Live Anawanna-wanna...

[colorbymemory]

"Maybe later?" Namine indicated the dream catcher materials she'd picked up. "I was going to try making this, first."

Painting one of the birdhouses seemed like fun, though. Maybe they could hang them up on the nature deck and see if birds used them.

UGH!!

[crafty_punk]

"Gotcha. I'll save one for ya."

So did we just prove what dorks we are? XD;;;

[colorbymemory]

"Thank you." She smiled and set to work on her dreamcatcher. "I wonder what this is supposed to do."

I do believe so. XD

[crafty_punk]

"I think they're supposed to keep away bad dreams or somethin'," Kanji replied with a shrug. "I dunno about that, but they do end up lookin' pretty cool."

That's what I was thinking. X3

[colorbymemory]

"They do look nice." The idea of something to keep away nightmares was intriguing. Maybe she could make one for all her friends.

[crafty_punk]

"I already made a couple," he said, motioning to the space beside him. It was clear he'd been at the table for quite some time. "Dunno what to do with 'em, though."

[colorbymemory]

"Maybe you could give them to your friends?" She leaned over the table slightly to get a closer look. Either he'd been at the table a long time, or worked very quickly.

[crafty_punk]

It was a bit of both, really. He hadn't had much to work with lately, so he was certainly going to take advantage of it.

"Guess I could. I haven't made too many here yet, tho'," he admitted, rubbing the back of his neck.

[colorbymemory]

Supplies for things like this could be an issue sometimes. Namine had found she always had whatever she needed to draw or paint, but materials for other crafts were more limited.

"Not enough to give one to each?" She smiled. Having a lot of friends was a good thing.

[crafty_punk]

"Actually... it's the other way around."

[colorbymemory]

"Oh." That's right, he hadn't mentioned any of his friends being here, and he didn't seem to talk to the others a lot. "I'm sorry."

She hadn't meant to misunderstand the statement.

[crafty_punk]

"Eh, it's not a big deal." It'd taken him a long time to make friends back home, too. It didn't bother him much. "I could just leave 'em at random people's doors, too."

[colorbymemory]

Namine wasn't the quickest to make friends either, though she did try to greet everyone when they arrived. "If you did that, I wonder what they would think."

[crafty_punk]

"Dunno. I'd think they'd like 'em, but who knows?" Kanji shrugged, but he was grinning. He did like this idea.

[colorbymemory]

"You never know what people will like or dislike." Namine smiled. She kind of liked it, too. While surprises weren't her favorite thing, suddenly finding a dreamcatcher on one's door seemed like one of the nicer kind.

[crafty_punk]

Kanji nodded at the pile, wondering just how many more he'd need to do.

"You wanna pick one?"

[colorbymemory]

If he wanted to make one for everyone, then he'd need quite a few more. At his offer, Namine paused in making her own dreamcatcher, surprised. "You're sure?"

[crafty_punk]

"Yeah, go for it." Namine was one of the few he'd gotten to know. Of course she had to have one.

[colorbymemory]

Namine studied the dream catchers he'd already made for a moment, then selected one. "Thank you."

[crafty_punk]

"No problem." Kanji glanced over the rest of them and held up one with a few more beads than the rest.

"You think Rarity'd like this one, or is it a little much?"

[colorbymemory]

"I think she'd like it." Namine smiled. Kanji would learn soon enough that Rarity liked things that were well-decorated.
