Summer Shenanigans, Wednesday, July 17, 2019
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 Kitty-Dolphin:
Amaya
Shuri
Summer
Nina
Regina
Vette
Team Pizza Cat:
Iris
Norman
Rosa
Mae
Tip
Sidon
Team Dinosaur Sloth (Yes. That's a romper. BONUS.):
Wayne
Ben
Prompto
Steve
Kanan
Pastor Carter

Re: Team Pizza Kitty
"It'd be about time you started," Tip said, smiling back. "So. Don't suppose you know any medieval siege weapon designer ghosts?"
Re: Team Pizza Kitty
"Not so much in Massachusetts," Norman replied, smiling crookedly. "Around here, though..."
A beat.
"A few folks who work with explosives, someone who claims to have invented fireworks, but I'm dubious..."
Re: Team Pizza Kitty
"Right." Tip sighed. "Guess we're going to have to just figure this out for ourselves."
Re: Team Pizza Kitty
"How hard can it be, right?" A pause. "Worst case scenario, we just build a see-saw and have Sidon jump on the other end."
Re: Team Pizza Kitty
Tip looked from Sidon to Beaker consideringly.
". . . That would totally work."
Re: Team Pizza Kitty
"And it'd be pretty quick to put together," Norman agreed, grinning a little. "Easy enough to aim... probably..."
Re: Team Pizza Kitty
"I think this is a plan," Tip said. "A good plan!"
For reference, her past plans have included firing bowling balls with a hammock for a slingshot, and weaponizing cats.
Re: Team Pizza Kitty
"Why make these things more complicated than they need to be, right? Especially in this weather?"
Said the boy who was now wearing his hoodie tied around his waist. Like the cool kids did.
