---

It's been a strange, rough couple of months for our intrepid villagers — Bunkers, superpowers and clones, oh my! Perhaps the Observers are sympathetic to their plight, or maybe they just have a peculiar sense of humor. At any rate, they've set up a gathering space chalk full of summer camp goodness, no strings attached. Not that anyone knows that part.

Just before sunset, a cheery message pops up on wrist devices all across the settlement and beyond. The instructions seem simple enough, although one does have to wonder at what dubious gift awaits them all after everything is said and done.

Marshmallows are on the house, so grab yourself a stick, strap on a sash and get to roasting, villagers. Skinny dipping, sing-alongs and friendship bracelets optional.

Comments

[notsoangry]

What kind of random items? Anything good for tinkering?

[minus1twin]

Sometimes. It depends on the person.

I got a ukulele once.

[notsoangry]

What I'd give for a microscope. [Sigh.] Can you play the ukulele?

[minus1twin]

I can.
I was learning the guitar when I stayed at the Avengers headquarters.
It helped me think.

[notsoangry]

I can see that. Maybe I can hear you play some time.

[minus1twin]

I'd be happy too. I got it back from the inn so I can play again.

[notsoangry]

I'd like that, when you feel up to it.

[minus1twin]

How about after the campfire?
I could play now but I'd have to run home to get it.
I didn't come prepared.

[notsoangry]

I'm in if Nat and Clint don't mind. What songs did you learn?

[minus1twin]

Mostly Red Hot Chilly Peppers and some of Clints favorites. He was helping me learn whenever he visited the compound.

[notsoangry]

We should see if he knows any Beatles songs, they have nice melodies.

[minus1twin]

I think he does.

[It sounds like the kind of songs that Clint would know.]

[notsoangry]

I'd be surprised if he didn't. Maybe we'll find a guitar around here some day.

[minus1twin]

If I find one, I'll make sure to let you know.

[notsoangry]

I was never very good at the artistic side of things. It's like my left brain is the only thing that works.

[minus1twin]

Maybe I can teach you?

[notsoangry]

I might not be a very talented student, but I'll try my best.

[minus1twin]

We'll have to see how it goes.
