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 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

Arrive and Mingle

Lots of wood (not dirty) hanging out in piles! And a target in the water. Zero points for guessing what's going on today, but chat and find a good vantage point anyway!

Come on Down, Voluntolds!

[sith_happened]

Grab your terrifying shirts/rompers and complain.

I mean brainstorm.

Construct and Fiiiiiire

[sith_happened]

As handwavy as you'd like :)

And the Winner is...

[sith_happened]

TEAM KITTY-DOLPHIN...shark...thing!

Though with the temperature as high as it was, the winner was really Beaker for getting to be wet.

Not dirty.

Talk to Anakin

[sith_happened]

He's not even a little sorry about the shirts.

OOC

[sith_happened]

Mine is an evil laugh.

Erm.

Well.

Nina floated above her shirt dubiously. Her little white wings keeping her hovering there as she, a small pink snake, studied it the best she could. She was pretty sure it was really ugly.

First, like, she wasn't sure she could wear it—it looked like it could fit her usually?—and then she wasn't sure, like, she was going to be any help at this activity. Construction? Hahahahaha.

But… sure.

One flying pink snake reporting for duty?

At least she and Vette were on the same team!

Mae pulled on her shirt and smiled down at herself.

"This is the greatest shirt I've ever seen."

It had tacos!

Re: Team Kitty-Dolphin

[chirpchirpchirp]

"Ooooh," Vette said, picking up her shirt and admiring it. "So that's a dolphin."

That was a shark, Vette.

"I love it."

She really did, too.

Re: Team Kitty-Dolphin

Regina held up the shirt and looked it over critically.

"No."

Not even Roni would wear that atrocity.

Re: Team Pizza Kitty

[always_someone]

Norman pulled on his shirt and made a bit of a face at it.

"Huh. This pizza kitty shirt is full of taco cats." A beat, and he smiled a little, thinking of Salma back home. "Which is a palindrome."

Thanks, Salma.

Kanan picked up his romper and stared at it.

"... There are more of us than there are of him," he noted. "I'm pretty sure we could just rise up and take a stand here and now."

Re: Team Pizza Kitty

[intotheout]

"Well, almost," Tip said. "If it were singular."

Admittedly, it was definitely a singular shirt design.

Re: Team Kitty-Dolphin

[scoffs_at_tradition]

"I'd say it's not the worst shirt I've ever seen, but that wouldn't be true," Shuri said with a grin, putting hers on over her regular, non terrifying shirt.

Re: Team <s>ROMPER</s> Dinosaur Sloth

[momslilassassin]

"Wow," Ben said, waving his out to really marvel at the shorts. "Wow. Pretty sure Ender will make me burn this before Val sees it and decides we need matching family outfits."

Re: Team Pizza Kitty

[always_someone]

"... I guess we could tall it a staco cats shirt," Norman hedged. "But that isn't even actually a thing."

Alas.

Re: Team Kitty-Dolphin

[heartinabox]

"He understands I didn't sign up for this, right?" Regina asked, still glaring at the ugly shirt. "I did not sign up for this."

There was only one person she could think of who could talk her into that shirt. And none of the three various Henrys she currently knew of were anywhere near here.

Re: Team <s>ROMPER</s> Dinosaur Sloth

[uncertain_dume]

"You mean Ender wouldn't be a fan of..." Kanan squinted at the busy, busy romper. "... This?"

A pause.

"What am I looking at here, exactly?"

The dinosaur bit was easy, at least?

Re: Team Pizza Kitty

[intotheout]

"Not with that attitude." Tip pulled the shirt on over her tank top, and immediately regretted it. And not because of the design. "Nope, okay, it is way too hot out here for multiple layers."

Re: Team Pizza Kitty

[always_someone]

"It's too bad they're t-shirts," Norman mused. "If they had longer sleeves, we could wear them as capes, instead. Or do that thing the cool people did in the nineties with a hoodie tied around the waist?"

He was not a cool kid.

He was, in fact, the crazy kid who was wearing a hoodie today as per the usual. Norman, no.

Re: Team Pizza Kitty

[intraspective]

"I'm... okay with this shirt," Iris decided, pulling it on. "Not what I usually wear, but given the other options..."

Okay, she meant the romper. THE ROMPER.

"This is fine."

Re: Team <s>ROMPER</s> Dinosaur Sloth

[heroic_jawline]

"I think it's a sloth," Steve said, staring hard at the shirt and regretting that almost immediately.

Ow, his eyes.
