Summer Shenanigans, Wednesday, July 17, 2019

[sith_happened]

It was a beautiful, if hot and sticky (not dirty) (at all.) (for any of you.) (*rimshot*) day today, and so Anakin was making everyone meet in the park with a set up that would be familiar to those who'd been around for the shenanigans last year.

It's trebuchet building time, and this year the target was the park's pond-lake-thing, and not the crater that Bel had left in the park 11 years ago, though Anakin was sorely tempted.

Beaker stood next to him in his crash helmet as Anakin began bellowing through the megaphone. "There will be three teams of six," he began. "And as I have run out of regular t-shirts, I have provided beautiful patterned shirts."

No one would possibly think these were beautiful.

"Listen for your names, then brainstorm out a easy to assemble trebuchet and construct it! When you are finished, summon Beaker over and shoot him into the pond. The team close enough to dead center--" he pointed to a target floating on the water, "--wins."

Though no one won wearing these shirts. Force alone knew where he'd gotten one big enough for Sidon.

Team Pizza Cat:
Iris
Norman

Mae
Tip

Amaya had remembered this one from last year...and she remembered losing and feeling like it was a great injury to her professional pride, so she was pretty fired up to see it come around again, and she was not planning on repeating the past if it could be helped! She put on her shirt without any nonsense or complaint and turned her attention right to the materials, clapping her hands and rubbing them together as she tried to put together a plan.

"Alright, team!" she said. "Let's get this thing done! Who's good at what?"

"Oooh oooh, me!" Shuri said enthusiastically. "I love engineering! I can put together a blueprint."

"And I do mechanic work all the time," Vette offered, brightly. "So I'm not at all opposed to getting in there and putting together whatever's in the blueprint."

A pause.

"I might need help with the heavy lifting, though."

She was clever and good with her hands, but also tiny.

Nina was currently even tinier! And also: flying pink snake.

But she was hovering along eagerly, to see how they were going to make this work.

And, uh, if they had a job for her, she'd do her best?

"Yes, we're kind of...light on the brawn," Shuri admitted, looking over at Team Romper, "but at least we're not in the same ensemble Captain America is wearing. So there's a bright side!"
