[IRIS MESSAGE: Wednesday, May 8th]

[worldabouttodawn]

[Enjolras is sitting in the Arts and Crafts Cabin, only looking a little out of place. The pitter patter of rain is loud and clear against the windows.]

I know how people tend to get antsy when it rains as we can't do much outside, so I thought if anyone would like to join me in the Arts and Crafts cabin we can do something productive.

[He shrugs, fingers fiddling with the cockade he's been working on.

He's about to end the message before a thought strikes him. There's a small frown now.]

And before anyone says it. No. The productive craft would not be building a barricade of any sorts.

But if you're interested I could teach you how to make these.

[He holds up the cockade. It may or may not be the only craft he's really good at making.]

If you're interested, come by.

Okay, I was gonna call them rosettes, but that sounded not... right.

[ She chuckles. ] I'm down with all those suggestions, especially the indoor barricade. Or we can just make one of those tents between chairs, like I used to when I was a kid.

[worldabouttodawn]

Rosettes? Really?

[He cocks his head to the side, turning the one he's been working on over. He could see it, he supposes, and is about to say so until she mentions making a tent between chairs. Then there's a tentative smile fighting to appear.]

I thought I was the only one who did that growing up.

[ Natalie rolls her eyes, reaching for some of the patriotic fabric. ] It's not that unusual for kids to make tents everywhere. Like, hiding under tables, in the clothing rack in department stores...

I mean, all you need's a couple of blankets and a flashlight. Easy.

[worldabouttodawn]

You make it sound like I actually interacted with kids my age growing up.

... Kids hid under clothing racks in department stores?

[clearasil]

You kidding? I totally did. My dad and I used to play hide and go seek until, uh, he thought he lost me for real and called mall security.

You've never even done something like that?

[worldabouttodawn]

No, never.

[And suddenly he's wondering if he missed out on something.]
