SHENANINGANS, Wednesday, May 13th, 2020

[sith_happened]

Good morning, Fandom! It was time for the start of the third annual Summer Shenanigans, and Anakin had been secretly prepping for this since last year! (If you think that means he had a stockpile of intensely ugly t-shirts, YOU WOULD BE RIGHT. Give yourself a prize.)

There were bleachers set up for watching the events, food vendors hoping to get you to eat a variety of things that may or may not have any business being deep-fried and put on sticks, and big screens showing various parts of the island, which was definitely a hint that the games today weren't just centered in the park today.

"WELCOME!" Anakin yelled through his bullhorn at the appointed time.

Yes, he knew how to use a bullhorn. He just preferred to make it boom and squeak like that because he was kind of mean.

"Today you will be put into four teams of seven," he said, "and you will be conducting an obstacle course around the island! When your name is called, please collect your t-shirt and briefly say hello to your team."

And complain about your t-shirt color names. Pretty in Spring Turquoise wasn't close to being turquoise and the rest of them were pretty much the same color with different names, so excellent quality control there, Anakin.

"Then you will spread out to the appointed areas. I will shoot off a flare that Beaker--" Beaker meeped and waved, "--had absolutely no part in testing, and that will be your signal for the first group to begin their task. Fastest team back to the park here wins."

There was a pause.

"You win nothing but bragging rights because we've all learned from the fish incident two years ago. If you're new, well, just trust us. No one needs to win a fish." He coughed. "Anyway! Names! Listen up!"

The Heroic Journey, Thursday, Period 4

To say that Kathy was nervous today would be an understatement. By this point, Dante could probably recite her lecture for her and more than once, Ronin'd had to nose her hands apart so she didn't accidentally hurt herself wringing them together.

She made her way to her classroom early to make sure that she had plenty of time to prepare. Like writing (and rewriting) her notes on the board to make sure they were perfectly legible. And her handwriting was even. And nothing was misspelled.

( Honestly, it was almost a blessing when the students did start trickling in. )

"So, unless things have changed a lot, this weeks is for introductions. I'd like your name, where and when you're from," since it was almost never 'this Earth, current year,' "and for you to pick one of the bullet points on the board and tell me what you think it means." She smiled at them. "Don't worry if you're not sure or don't know the answer. This is class one, after all."
