School Assembly, Friday afternoon, The Auditorium

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

Josh grinned as he walked out onto the stage. The curtain had been drawn to hide the contents behind and the stage was apparently infinitely malleable to make this work, omg.

"Given yesterday's events, today's assembly seems even more appropriate. We're going to do an old-fashioned battle of the sexes. Pulled completely at random, three guys and three girls will be dragged up here, if necessary, in order to compete for valuable cash and prizes." He paused. "Which we don't have, so the thrill of beating the other team will just have to do."

He waved his hand dramatically and the curtain drew back to reveal an obstacle course. "This contest will test your mind, your body, and your immunity to public humiliation. So, without any further ado, I give you: THE GUYS! Billy, Sam, and Peter Petrelli!" Josh frowned down at his paper. "Who also goes by Steve? I don't get it." He shrugged as he waited for the boys to get up on stage, then flipped to his next card. "And now for the LADIES! I give you Molly, Naomi, and Annette!"

Josh grinned again. "There's a Mickey Mouse Club joke in there, but I think it will date me. Without further ado, let's get on with the show!"

The Obstacle Course

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

"You all know how obstacle courses work, of course," Josh said. "We have six tasks, which means that each of you will get to perform twice. When you have either answered the question correctly, completely the physical challenge, or embarrassed yourself enough to register on our Humili-tron, a buzzer will sound and the next teammate will be free to move onto the next task. Your teammates are free to offer advice and encouragement, but the actual task can only be finished by one member of the team. Ready?" Josh didn't wait for an answer. "Good!"

Task One: Billy v. Naomi

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

"This first question is a battle of wits. You must complete the following limerick in a way that makes me smile.

'There once was a man from Nantucket...'"

Re: Task One: Billy v. Naomi

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Whose head got stuck in a bucket. He walked around town, afraid it would drown, till someone came by and took it."

Re: Task One: Billy v. Naomi

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

Josh snorted. "Good job."

Re: Task One: Billy v. Naomi

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Thank you."

Re: Task One: Billy v. Naomi

[ktarian-wildman.livejournal.com]

Naomi had not heard that particular limerick and so she just looked really confused.

Re: Task One: Billy v. Naomi

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly noticed the confused look. "What's wrong?" she whispered to Naomi.

Re: Task One: Billy v. Naomi

[ktarian-wildman.livejournal.com]

"Um...I haven't heard that limerick," Naomi whispered back.

Task Two: Sam v. Molly

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

The next task," Josh said, pointing it out, "is one of physical dexterity. You see before you $240 worth of pudding."

It was, indeed, a very, very large pile of pudding.

"You must race each through the pile of pudding to reach your team member on the other side."

He held up two set of scuba flippers. "And you must do it wearing these. On your feet. Because over each ear isn't as fun."

Re: Task Two: Sam v. Molly

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly looked over at Sam as she put on her scuba flippers. "Is tripping allowed?" she asked Josh quietly.

Re: Task Two: Sam v. Molly

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

"Go for it," Josh whispered back.

Re: Task Two: Sam v. Molly

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

"Awesome," Molly said as she stood up. "His legs are just too long. It isn't fair. I need a way to level the field."

Re: Task Two: Sam v. Molly

[likethegun]

For a minute, Sam thought about being nice and letting Molly win. Then he saw how Molly was looking at him, and decided that kicking her butt would be a much better option.

Task Three: Peter v. Annette

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

Josh pointed out a small stage midway through the obstacle course. "You might have noticed that it's been raining quite a bit in recent days. So we're working with that. Your job is to reenact a dance sequence from Singing in the Rain "Falala in the Flood" using only the objects found in the chest. You have to make the bell ring on the Humili-tron in order to move on."

[OOC: In the chest you'll find pink fluffy parasols, bathrobes with children's cartoons on them, a plush duckie costume and sombreros.]

Re: Task Three: Peter v. Annette

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

Well, at least this didn't require him touching anybody. Peter dressed up in one of the bathrobes, a sombrero, and took a parasol. He then skipped and danced around the stage as he sang:

I'm falalaing in the flood
Just falalaing in the flood
What a glorious feeling
I'm not covered in mud

I'm laughing at clowns
They're evil, kind of
Let's all play our part
And give them a shove
A shove!

If the clowns give us chase
Everyone ready a mace
Bring down that huge flood
We can swim as we race
Until the clowns fall with a thud
Maybe covered in blood
Falalaing, falalaing in the flood
In the flood

La...

I'm falalaing in the flood
Just falalaing in the flood
What a glorious feeling
I'm not covered in mud

Until the clowns fall with a thud
Maybe covered in blood
Falalaing, falalaing in the flood
In the flood
In the flood

When he was done he tossed the sombrero into the audience, hopefully not hitting anybody in the eye when it landed.

Blair watched Peter make a muck of that dear to his heart most favorite-est song ever! But he still bounced and giggled, cause, yo! Bro! is bringing down the house! Yeah!

But, this is skill against skill and Blair knew he had the skillllzzzz to please better than what's-his-name in the funny bathrobe and a hat that made his head look the size of a pin needle. Blair actually held his index finger and thumb up to eye-level and squinted while he brought his fingers together, putting Peter's head between them,(not literally, geeze, get the picture?) mumbling, "I squish your head. I squish your head." Ahh, but it was his turn!

In his best Hawaiian shirt, he bounced and rumaged through the chest, choosing the plush duckie costume and the pink fluffy parasol.

"Are you ready for this...Peeeeettttteeerrrrr?"

(ooc: Annette is pretending (http://misshargrove.livejournal.com/8902.html?view=158150#t158150) to be Blair and being the fake Blair is done totally by permission!)

Task Four: Sam v. Naomi

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

Josh moved on to two giant gerbil wheels. "You have to run around in these until the color bar on the side of them moves from blue," which was at the bottom, "to red," at the top.

He grinned. "To make the task more challenging, the fast you run, the louder the speakers inside the wheel will sing "It's a Small World."

And at the end, they'd both get doused in slime, but Josh didn't see how that could be important.

Re: Task Four: Sam v. Naomi

[likethegun]

Sam was still covered in pudding. Slippery pudding. This was not going to end well.

Re: Task Four: Sam v. Naomi

[ktarian-wildman.livejournal.com]

Naomi gulped when she learnt what the task was. This so wasn't her day.

Task Five: Peter v. Molly

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

"This one is here only because it amuses me," Josh said with a wicked grin. "You have to stand on your heads and recite the alphabet backwards to the tune of "Mary Had a Little Lamb." I was told trying to get you to spit quarters out your ears was physically impossible, so you get bonus points if you can manage that, too."

Re: Task Five: Peter v. Molly

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

Peter tried to stand on his head.

This did not go well.

Re: Task Five: Peter v. Molly

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly was having problems with it as well. She was still slipping around a little. Being covered in pudding and all.

Final Task: Billy v. Annette

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

At the very end of the obstacle course was a statue of a very familiar girl with a cat on her shoulder.

Josh grinned. "Our illustrious Student Council President needed to feel a part of things, despite her current conditions. Your final task is to decorate her and Faithful using the totally modable objects found in chest next to them."

Re: Final Task: Billy v. Annette

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"You need therapy." said the pot to the kettle Billy told Josh. Then he realized what he'd just heard. "Allana got turned into a statue?" he asked, concerned.

Re: Final Task: Billy v. Annette

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

"Had lots," Josh said blithely. "It didn't take." He pointed to the statue. "Yup! Go and decorate her. Bonus points if you can get Faithful to wear the tiny little rollerskates."
