Summer Shenanigans, Wednesday, August 7, 2019

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.

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.

Socks on the feet! Feet in the air! This kind of game was the sort of absolute stupidity that Sparkle needed in his life, today.

"Did anybody see what was in the bucket before it went up there?"

He should've thought about that before, maybe.

"Looked like some kind of goop to me," Octavia filled in, because apparently you didn't lead the kind of life she'd had for the past couple of years and not take note of what might befall you soon. (Literally.) "Maybe soup."

She was already wishing she'd worn something else today. Which was funny because all of her clothes were more or less the same, so today's dark ensemble was damn near indistinguishable from every other day's one. "Who wants to go first? Don't think we're gonna make it if everyone tries to get their socks off at the same time."

"...I don't like the sound of goop soup," Okuyasu said with a grimace. "Maybe someone with the smallest feet? That sounds like it makes sense."

I mean, sure it did.

"Or the biggest," Wayne suggested. He didn't mean to be contrarian, really, he didn't, he just sort of came off that way. "You get the biggest out of the way, and then that leaves that person to provide a good support for the bucket while the others take care of theirs."

"Well, not-it," Sparkle declared. "Me and my completely average feet will go... second."

He'd called dibs, so there.

"Well, this is the first time I'm having to compare feet sizes," Octavia drawled - incorrectly, because she'd definitely made Bellamy press his much bigger feet against hers so she could giggle about it. But she'd been like six at the time. "But it doesn't look like it's me, either. I'm pretty average too."

"Well I guess that's me," Okuyasu said, and just completely took his feet off the bucket, which of course meant it was splashing down contents directly onto him.

"GYEH!" he exclaimed as the disaster struck.

He hadn't thought that through.

"Okay," Shuri said, settling her feet as comfortably as possible under the bucket. "Is anyone particularly talented and touching their nose with their toes?"

"It does seem as though this will certainly be a bit of a test in...flexibility ♥," said Shunsui, who, despite the socks and despite the fact that he was clearly going to be a bit more cramped underneath the bucket to compensate for his size compared to his teammates', couldn't help but feel cheerful regarding an activity that, for once, mostly just required him to lie on his back.

"And I take it," said Prompto, who chuckled a little nervously, because he could swear it was already wobbling; was it already wobbling? Maybe that was just his own legs wobbling, which was also not good!, "just launching this thing up in the air as high as we can on the count of three and hoping to just get the socks off before it comes crashing down again is not exactly the best strategy?"

And yet, alas, it was the only thing he can think of other than oh gods it is definitely wobbling!!

"Not a terrific strategy," Shuri said, "but definitely memorable?"

That bucket was doomed.

"... Guess I'm bendin' at the knees for this."

This was what you got when you teamed a half-orc guy up with three human ladies.

"This is the stupidest thing ever," said Rosa, who seemed to say that every week, grumbling as she situated herself as best she could and stared up at all those stupid Skywalker faces. "This is a new jacket. If anything gets spilled on it, you're all dead."

It wasn't. She just wanted to make sure her threat had some kind of heat behind it.

"Yeah, I don't exactly want to be covered in crap, either," Summer offered. "Also, why are you even wearing a jacket? It's summer."

Socks on, feet up!

Feet up...not nearly as high as everyone else's.

Hmmm. He pulled a ray gun from his lab coat. Time to try out the Enbiggenator! Surely this will end well!

And so there Amaya was, lying underneath a bucket of something with Beaker, who'd just pulled out a mysterious gun of unknown purpose.

Well. She'd had a good run, anyway.

"I am both incredibly intrigued and extremely afraid to ask after just what you're planning on doing with that, Beaker," she noted, since she felt it sort of needed to be said.
