[sith_happened]

The normal bleachers and food vendors were set up in the park today, along with big screen projector screens, if that gave anyone else a bad feeling. You could watch portals flash in and out in real time! How fun/terrifying!

"Today we're going on a scavenger hunt," Anakin announced because that was a good idea on a week when reality was playing fast and loose. "You will be divided up into four teams of six--" with, of course, newly terrible matching shirts, "and will have to complete ten different tasks!"

That ten didn't divide evenly into six was your problem, teams, not Anakin's.

He waved the copies of the scavenger hunt above his head. "After you hear your names, I will pass out the lists!"

Your scavenger hunt list:

1. Take a selfie with a gremlin.
2. Get an add/drop form from the office.
3. Order a tie-dye frappaccino from the Perk. Stand through the ENTIRE RANT about how they aren't Starbucks. Demand one anyway. DRINK WHAT THEY GIVE YOU. Bring back the empty glass as proof.
4. Retrieve Chocolate cherries from the Xanthified section of the Rooftop Emo Garden.
5. Get someone else's shirt -- and visual evidence that the owner is now shirtless. (This could be a picture, or it could just be bringing the shirtless person with you to wherever the final tally is being conducted.)
6. Retrieve an Amazing Free Shirt from any of the other shenanigan weeks and bring it along with you to the end.
7. Get enough Mooby Burgers for your entire team.
8. Get photo evidence of your whole team eating the Skywalker ice cream sundae (one scoop of everything, plus all the toppings, good Lord, Ben, your stomach as a teenager) at Chilly Boulder.
9. Photo evidence of attempting to interview a radio squirrel--which might be Genuine Reporters today.
10. Selfie with the Troopers. Bonus points if you get them to dance.

Put on your shirts, plot your strategies!

"Well, it's better than last week's," Shuri said, putting the shirt on over her tank top and then reading the list.

"It seems strange to miss those solid-colored shirts from the beginning of the summer, and yet I do," Jules remarked.

"OH, I don't think they're so bad!" said the one person probably least qualified to talk about clothing in the first place, holding it up and admiring it (and the fact that there was one large enough for him). "I find the diamonds quite fetching!"

"Y'know what might make a good choice for all these shirts one of these days?" said Wayne, to no one in particular, clearly deciding to just throw it out into the ether as he considered his current colors. "Flannel. Can't go wrong with flannel."

"This is soooo much better than the romper," Ben said, grinning at Prompto. "Did your friends enjoy them?"

Re: TEAM AMERICAN AF

[hashtag_chocobro]

"Nyaaaan~~!" said Prompto, beaming, his cat-ears twitching happily as he curled his hands in front of him like paws. "It's part of a birthday present! So we won't know until August! But," and his long tail swished with conviction, "how could they not?"

Re: TEAM AMERICAN AF

[momslilassassin]

Ben was pretty sure Prompto hadn't had a tail last week, but it might be impolite to ask?

"What's the rest of the birthday present?" he asked instead. "Would you like these works of art, too?"

Re: TEAM AMERICAN AF

[unusual_sith]

"Well, at least it's not entirely blue." Lana was trying to find the bright side of this.

Re: TEAM AMERICAN AF

[sake_shinigami]

Shunsui was....confused. So....so confused.

"Bwah?" he said, eloquently, holding onto a shirt that was just barely slightly more tasteful than his usual attire that he wasn't even entirely sure how he'd gotten in his hands in the first place.

Re: TEAM AMERICAN AF

[momslilassassin]

Ben laughed. "Welcome to Wednesdays in the park," he said. "It's a little crazy."

Re: TEAM AMERICAN AF

[sake_shinigami]

Shunsui considered Ben for a moment, before he looked over across the park and the whole set-up, and then looked back at Ben.

"...I just wanted a nap," he said.

He...would still probably get that nap.

Sorry, Team American AF.

None of you were even American, anyway.

TEAM HUMAN MUSCLE SHIRT

Re: TEAM HUMAN MUSCLE SHIRT

[somethingwithturquoise]

"You know," said Summer, who had never in her life held onto a shirt and looked at it with such complete horror and disgust before, which was saying a lot, "I just need to say that, as someone who's actually had her skin turned inside out before, wearing this is, like, going to be low-key traumatic."

Re: TEAM HUMAN MUSCLE SHIRT

[built_fjord_tough]

Fjord grimaced.

"This is me volunteering here and now to be the, ah, poor bastard who has to go shirtless for that one thing on the list," he said.

Terrible hardship, he knew.

Re: TEAM HUMAN MUSCLE SHIRT

[what_the_shock]

"Does it have to be just one of us?" Miguel asked. "Because I'll volunteer, too."

TEAM LA BURGER KINGS

"Meep meep meep MEEP meep meep meep," was Beaker trying to get out of the gremlin selfie assignment.

Re: TEAM LA BURGER KINGS

Aeryn was staring in horror at the shirt's face.

"He's losing his frelling mind."

Seriously, Anakin.

Re: TEAM LA BURGER KINGS

[died8yearsago]

"Can't lose something you never had," said Rosa, from the shadowy depths of a trench coat and fedora fitting to her detective title, her voice dark and moody to fit the theme. "Some say he had it, once, sanity, that it was driven away from him by the endless cycle of having to provide interesting but unappealing shirts for these summer activities, but I don't believe of it. A man like that?" She jerked a chin his way. "You can just tell, he was born into madness."

Re: TEAM LA BURGER KINGS

[can_be_more]

Aeryn didn't really know Rosa, but she respected her based on her clothing choices.

But now she was left with, "Yeah, probably," because how else was a best friend supposed to respond to that?

Re: TEAM LA BURGER KINGS

[myownface]

Sparkle squinted as his shirt.

And then squinted at the other shirts.

And then squinted, again, at his own shirt.

"... I mean, at least we're not doing our best impression of Slim Goodbody over there."

The muscles were creepy aaaaaas fuck.

Re: TEAM LA BURGER KINGS

[futurespacemom]

"It could be worse," Hera agreed. "Who's Slim Goodbody?"

That was totally a normal GFFA name.
