SHENANINGANS, Wednesday, May 13th, 2020
Good morning, Fandom! It was time for the start of the third annual Summer Shenanigans, and Anakin had been secretly prepping for this since last year! (If you think that means he had a stockpile of intensely ugly t-shirts, YOU WOULD BE RIGHT. Give yourself a prize.)
There were bleachers set up for watching the events, food vendors hoping to get you to eat a variety of things that may or may not have any business being deep-fried and put on sticks, and big screens showing various parts of the island, which was definitely a hint that the games today weren't just centered in the park today.
"WELCOME!" Anakin yelled through his bullhorn at the appointed time.
Yes, he knew how to use a bullhorn. He just preferred to make it boom and squeak like that because he was kind of mean.
"Today you will be put into four teams of seven," he said, "and you will be conducting an obstacle course around the island! When your name is called, please collect your t-shirt and briefly say hello to your team."
And complain about your t-shirt color names. Pretty in Spring Turquoise wasn't close to being turquoise and the rest of them were pretty much the same color with different names, so excellent quality control there, Anakin.
"Then you will spread out to the appointed areas. I will shoot off a flare that Beaker--" Beaker meeped and waved, "--had absolutely no part in testing, and that will be your signal for the first group to begin their task. Fastest team back to the park here wins."
There was a pause.
"You win nothing but bragging rights because we've all learned from the fish incident two years ago. If you're new, well, just trust us. No one needs to win a fish." He coughed. "Anyway! Names! Listen up!"

LEG 2
So hopefully Shuri, Wayne, Liam and Iris are all strong swimmers, or this could take a bit.
[OOC: RNG says this goes Lake of Aluminum Crab, Fresh Eggplance, Sweet De Crocus, and Pretty in Spring Turquoise.]
Re: LEG 2
Iris was not a strong swimmer. She could swim but that was for fun and mostly for playing in pools. When it came to real water like this? She usually just walked over it.
(Don't think she wasn't thinking it, Anakin.)
Still, that would defeat the spirit of this stupid challenge so, still wearing her suit (with her t-shirt tossed over top of it), Iris donned the world's silliest float
I want oneand began the long, arduous task of swimming out to Galactica Point.She'd been here for a bit. Sorry, team.
Re: LEG 2
She did her very best to make up some time for her team, though, and managed to beat one other person--sorry about that, Iris.
Re: LEG 2
Re: LEG 2
But mebbe him just thinking that was offensive.
No matter! He wasn't even here after all, but Wayne was, and he was s'posed to be swimming, so....pitter-patter.
He felt a little bad about beating ' Shuri at it, but all's fair in love and summer shenanigans!
