Summer Shenanigans, Wednesday, August 7, 2019

[sith_happened]

What a beautiful, non-weird day at the park it was!

Shame Anakin was going to ruin that for everyone, huh?

"Right!" he yelled through the megaphone. "Today we have a new and fun team-building game where you will be in groups of four!"

How thrilling!

"You will get matching socks for greater teambuilding!"

...sure?

"And put your feet up in the air so I may rest a bucket on them!"

Anakin, what.

"The first team to remove all of the socks from their feet without dropping the contents of the bucket on themselves wins!"

Anakin, you totally made this game up, didn't you.

"Listen for your names! And no use of special powers to win."

Sorry, folks.

Arrive and Mingle

[sith_happened]

No decent fish options, of course, but plenty of other junk food!

Nina was now two weeks in a row having forgotten to sign up for the shenanigans but given the activity, she wasn't feeling too bad about it.

For one, this did not sound like a very easy activity to remain ladylike in and, like, she didn't want everyone to see her underthings while she lay on her back with her feet in the air…

For another, this was going to make an absolutely fantastic video to send to the guys in Insomnia.

She was super not sorry for getting this on video, Prompto. Super duper not sorry, especially as he got covered in slime.

Bless, Bus Dean. Just… bless.

[Of course this is done with permission, yo!]

[hashtag_chocobro]

Did you want a slime covered chocobro launching himself at you for a big, slimy hug, Nina?

Because that was how you got a slime covered chocobro launchng himself at you in the attempts to snare you in a big, slimy hug.

"Niiiiiiinaaaaaaa!" Prompto said, once his team had failed completely due to Flowery McGee over there, moving in for the oh-so-innocent glomp. "I'm so glad you caaaaaame to waaaatch!"

And maybe get covered in slime, tooooooo! She wasn't going to deny him a hug, now, was she?

Jack was bored and feeling social-ish. She went to see what fresh new hell Anakin was inflicting on people this week.

She saw the socks. She cackled so hard she had to sit down and wipe the tears away. "Fjord, if you don't want your socks, I will pay cash for them when you're done."

Because come on! Anakin face socks?! Anakin had bought socks with his own face on them for other people to wear? "Oh man. I need those. I need to find if there's matching boxers."

You're welcome.

"Gonna be a bit stretched out," Fjord mused, shrugging, "but hell, I don't want 'em."

They were creepy as fuck.

"When I'm done winnin' this thing, they're all yours."

It's a good thing Liam wasn't much into the seafood to start with, or he might have wondered at the lack of fish-related snack options. As it was, there was plenty to stock up on while he waited (... why did he continue to sign up for these things?) for his name to be called.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[okteiviakom]

So guess Octavia hadn't really run into Liam since that one pretty tense conversation, huh? It wasn't like she'd done it on purpose - but she also hadn't actively sought him out.

But here he was, and here she was, and so:

"Hi, Liam." There was a hint of wariness to it. And another, even more vague one, of softness.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[okteiviakom]

Octavia hadn't been to one of these things since the beginning of the summer. And she wasn't entirely sure why she was here now. But she was.

Maybe it was the snacks? She was currently partaking in a healthy selection of those, after all.

Voluntolds, Come on Dooooown!

[sith_happened]

And get your socks!

Team Tacosaurus

Re: Team Tacosaurus

[myownface]

Sparkle was here mostly because it was a great distraction from the fact that his fish had gone missing.

His fish and all the fish in the tank he shared with Hernando, and he was mildly (seriously) distraught about this.

There had been a sobbing phone call to Leto about it.

Sparkle really, really loved his fish, okay? So this was his activity of choice to help him cope.

".... I'm keeping these socks."

They were amazing.

Re: Team Tacosaurus

[okteiviakom]

Octavia was squinting at her pair of socks. Because of course she was.

"... What."

Team Delicate Flowers

[sith_happened]

Team Anakin Face

[sith_happened]

[OOC: Weirdly, no one has actually put Hayden Christensen's face on a sock, so just pretend it's there, yes?]

Team Frida Kahlo

[sith_happened]

So Team Anakin Face isn't alone in having a person on their feet!

And Play!

[sith_happened]

Anakin placed a bucket in the middle of your feet as you lay on your backs in the grass with them up in the air. The goal is for each team member to remove both socks while not spilling the contents of the bucket all over everyone.

The RNG declares the order of bucket-tipping-onto-everyone-ness to be:

1. Team Delicate Flower (Shunsui's fault, somehow. The bucket is full of slime.)
2. Team Tacosaurus (Okuyasu's fault! The bucket is full of cold potato chowder.)
3. Team Frida Kahlo (Beaker's fault because the RNG knows what's up, and the bucket is full of kombucha (because Anakin bought it having no idea what it was).)

making Team Anakin Face the winner.

Team Anakin Face, Celebrate!

[sith_happened]

And be glad that your bucket of fruit punch (really, Anakin?) didn't spill on you!

Talk to Anakin!

[sith_happened]

Though he will probably not answer the pressing question of "why did you buy socks with your own face on them?"

OOC

[sith_happened]

I might have entirely too much fun with this each summer.

Re: OOC

[bookbeltof_love]

NGL but the weekly shenanigans are usually one of the highlights of my week, even just to read, so thank you so much for doing them! <3 <3 <3
