The Crafts Corner is a large converted barn for arts and crafts. Picnic table fill the ground level, with tables and shelves along the walls with supplies and materials. Artwork from past summers at the camp line the walls, and there are large windows along the back wall. Pottery wheels are in one corner, with easels in another. The loft holds tables and looms for knitting, sewing, and fabric work.

Mrs. Thelma walked into the craft corner to begin setting everything up. The campers and counselors would be arriving soon, excited to start. She headed to the supply cabinet and pulled out rubber bands, spray bottles, and a variety of dye colors. She covered the picnic tables in the building with bright blue tablecloths, and laid out supplies on each table. A table near the entrance to the barn was used to piles different sizes of white camp shirts on.

((The event will start in 12 minutes or so, and probably run anywhere between 1-4 hours, depending on how long it stretches and the number of characters who show. Hopefully, this will give anyone who isn't on right now a chance to come as well. ))

The chefs started arriving, and they set up a big table outside the craft barn. They laid out a buffet with different flavors of ice cream, sprinkles, chocolate syrup, chocolate chip, whipped cream, cherries, and many other toppings. Bowls, napkins, spoons, and cones were set to one end, and each chef and helper took a spot behind the table to help serve. Mrs. Thelma smiled, and set up a microphone and speaker. People were starting to drift down from different places around camp.

Mrs. Thelma tapped her microphone as campers and counselors started drifting over, eager to begin. "Hello Camp Elderberry! Who's excited for some tie dye and ice cream?" she said enthusiastically into the mic. "We will begin momentarily, as soon as we have a small crowd ready to begin."

((Howler you are fine we haven't completely started yet XD ))

((Hiiiiii!))

Abbigail walked in, eager to start tie-dyeing. She spotted the table of ice cream and toppings. 'I'm looking forward to that too.' she thought with a smile

Sam shuffled in and looked around. "This is so stupid." he muttered, choosing a seat near the corner.

Ashley bounded in with a smile on her face. 'I'd better keep my fire away from the ice cream.' she thought with a small smile.

Azra walks in wearing https://www.pinterest.ca/pin/74583838... and her dark brown hair in a ponytail. She looks around and sees a few people she bites her lip nervously and walks over to one of the tables and sits down fiddling with a look strand of her dark hair

Katrina entered, and saw the place and couldn’t help but gasp. “This is so cool!” she said quietly, but with a big smile. Katrina sat down, and played with her nails nervously as she thought of the colors for her shirt.

Mrs. Thelma smiles at each new person arriving. She looks over to the chefs, finishing laying out bowls of toppings on the long table. They had a small cooler with large containers of homemade ice cream in a variety of different flavors. Mrs. Thelma spots Aria, the "inventor" of this event, and grins, giving her a thumbs up.

Abigail chose a table and sat down, tapping her nails on the wood. After a moment she closed her eyes, letting a book appear in her hands. She opened it and began to read.

Sam let his head drop into his hand, resisting the urge to leave.

Ashley walked around the Crafts corner, saying hi to all the campers.

Azra put her head in her hands "What was I thinking coming here I know no one," she mutters "Im just the weird girl in the corner," she sighed. Azra was debating whether or not to leave or stay she couldnt figure out witch

Katrina fixed her shoelaces, they were untied. Kat was humming quietly. She saw campers and chuckled softly. Has all the counselors met their campers? I haven’t. Maybe i’ll do that tonight. Katrina was suddenly really quiet. She was in deep thought.

Sam heard another camper talking to herself, muttering something about being the 'weird girl in the corner.' don't do it." his mind chided. He walked over. "I feel the same way, y'know." he said

Mrs. Thelma cleared her throat, and gave a loud whistle. She waited patiently as everyone quieted down. "Welcome, welcome. I'm so glad everyone is here, this will be a lot of fun!" she said, smiling. She gestured to Aria to come join her. "Before we begin, I would like to introduce you to our new Camp Activities Director, Aria!"

Azra looks up at the person who had talked to her "oh uh what?" she asks 'Can I just talk normal once!' she thought. 'If I dont learn to talk like a normal human I will never make friends,' she chided herslf. (Azra is really really shy)

Sam smiled. "I said I feel the same way. Y'know, about being the weird kid in the corner." he whispered, laughing slightly. 'What the heck are you doing, Sam?' his brain asked furiously. 'Shut up.' he told his internal voice

Azra laughed a little "Oh yeah you heard that," she says "Um Im Azra," she says "Im uh new here," she says 'Not everyone needs to know that Azra,' she thought.

((All good, we will try to stretch this out anyway))

Sam nodded. "So am I, I guess." he said with a shrug. In his nervousness his fingertips started to turn invisible, as they always did when he was scared or nervous. "Shoot." he whispered, willing them back to normal again

"Can we all give a warm welcome to Aria?" she asks, clapping her hands around the microphone. "Would you like to say something?" she whispers quietly to Aria. Mrs. Thelma pushes a loose strand of hair off her face.

Azra saw his fingertips disappear "Oh can you turn invisible," she asks before she can stop herself 'WHAT DONT ASK PEOPLE THAT,' she screamed internaly. "Sorry you dont have to answer that," she says

(I gtg ill be back in like an hour or two)

Sam smiled. "It's fine." he said, lifting his hand and turning the whole thing invisible. "That's my ethereal." he told her. He tilted his head. "What about yours?" he asked, returning his hand back to normal

Mrs. Thelma nodded, and waited another moment for the barn to quiet down. She then preceded to explain what they would be doing. "Ok, I know everyone is anxious to begin. We are going to be making tie dyed shirts and having some delicious ice cream today!" she said. "Now, you can choose to either get ice cream or do tie dye first. If you choose ice cream, head outside and start a line at the buffet. Move your way through the line, telling the chefs what you would like. Then, you can chat and get to know the other campers and counselors a bit." She pauses before continuing.

Mazo walked in and sat at a table, she had been helping a friend and hopped nothing was missed. She looked around, everybody had moved away from her as quickly as possible. Mazo got upset by this.

Mrs Thelma continued. "If you wish to do tie dying first, head to that table," she said, pointing to the table with neat stacked plain white shirts near the barn entrance. "And grab a shirt. Take a seat at the picnic tables and you may start, using any colors you would like. Counselors, if campers do not know how to tie dye, I would appreciate it if you assisted them. Everyone will get to make a shirt. Once our tie dyers are finished, we will let the shirts sit here over night, wash them, and bring them back, then you can pick them up tomorrow afternoon. When the tie dye finishes, they will go get ice cream, and the people who chose ice cream first will come here." She smiles, and gives the chefs a thumbs up at the ice cream table. "Get to it! Have fun and make some new friends!"

((I've gtg, be back in like 2 hours. Continue the event while I am gone, Mrs. Thelma isn't really needed after this.))

((Bye everyone!))

((bye!))

Abigail walked out of the barn and joined the line for ice cream. She chose vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce, sprinkles and cherries, then sat back down again and began to eat her ice cream

Phoebe walked in, realizing she was late. She slipped past people and sat down at a table, trying to be unnoticed. "Hi...." She said with a small lisp. "what are we doing . . . ?" She started pinning her hair back so it wouldn't get messy.

Ashley walked over to Phoebe. "Hey! I'm Ashley" she said with a smile. "What's your name?" She sat down at the table with Phoebe, pushing a few unruly strands of hair away from her face. She summoned a small ball of fire in her hand and tossed it from palm to palm

Katrina hopped up, clearly excited by her facial expression. She went to the tie-dyeing station. Katrina picked a oversized - an XL - and began to put rubber bands on it. Katrina hummed while she did that. Katrina felt a bit of shame. Aren’t you too old for this? something told her. Katrina began to set down the shirt but felt confident. “Ooh, maybe, Blue!” she said quietly.

"Phoebe. . . ." She said, still a bit modest and not sure whether or not she wanted to talk. "Thats a cool talent, could you set anything on fire?" She noticed Sabre grabbing some colours and glanced over. "Cute ears." She said, geniune, though she may have sounded condesending.

Ashley shrugged. "I'm sure I could, but I don't think I want to try." she said, closing her hand and extinguishing the flame. "What's your ethereal?" she asked gently

Mazo just sat there alone, even the councilor had ran off. She did a blue shirt with gold and black tie-dye. She looked like she wanted to cry. She started crying a bit, it was loud enough that if anybody walked by they would notice, but not loud enough to be noticed in all the noise.

"Um . . . ." Phoebe took her time concentrating on her surroundings. It was funny how most people didn't notice the placings of shadows and the gradients of the sky. "Oh . . . its stealth." She said, looking back at Ashley.

Abigail, who was sitting a few tables away, looked up and waved at Mazo. "Hey." she said, trying to keep the fear out of her voice. She walked over to Mazo's table, still holding her ice cream. Abigail noticed the tears on Mazo's face and sat down. "What's wrong?" she asked gently

"That's cool." Ashley said. She looked down at Phoebe. "So, tie-dye or ice cream first?" she asked with a smile, trying to help the camper have some fun. 'She seems like a shy one.' she thought

Phoebe looked around and say a pretty girl . . . she had crimson red hair . . . and a well formed body, but sitting all alone. "I'll need to make a note of that later, she seems fun to draw . . ." She thought, looking a bit weird just staring at Mazo. Ashley is pretty too, but I think maybe drawing something different would be interesting . . .. "Tie-dye." She said back to Ashley, staring straight at Sabre now. "It seems fun."

"E..everybody is scared of me. I don't want people to be scared of me any more." She said, crying a bit louder, she didn't want to make a scene so she kept most of it bottled up. She did feel a bit better that somebody approached her.

Ashley nodded and stood up, waving for Phoebe to follow. She walked up to the tie-dye table and grabbed a white shirt in her size and every color of tie-dye available. She waited for Phoebe to grab her supplies before heading back to the table

Phoebe perked up immedietly when she heard a small cry. It was soft but . . . Oh, its pretty girl . . . Phoebe stood up and walked to Mazo, noticing Ashley had walked over to the craft table. Are you"Okay? Are you okay . . .?" Phoebe said quietly, but she didn't show any concern. Maybe I shouldn't intrude....

Abigail sat awkwardly next to Mazo, at a loss for words. 'Gosh, what a great comforter I am.' she thought. She didn't know what else to do, so she just sat with Mazo while she cried. She gave Phobe a small wave and motioned for her to sit down with them

"I-" Phoebe looked back to Ashley but put up her pointer finger, motioning she would be there soon, and sat down next to Caroline. "Okay . . ." It was awkward being around all these new people, all of them seemingly years older than her.

Mazo managed to pull it together enough to stop crying. She just set her head on the table now and waited for the tears to dry enough. She tried to do her Tie-Die without looking.

Phoebe didn't know what was happening. She didn't even know who Mazo was. "Do you dye your hair?" Phoebe asked curiously. "Or were you born with it?" She had to look up slightly to face Mazo, being a lot shorter than her.

"It's natural.." She said, she lifted her head off the table finally and got to work on her Tie-Dye. She is ok at Tie-Dye but she is no Da-Vincci.
