SHENANINGANS, Wednesday, May 13th, 2020

[sith_happened]

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!"

Lake of Aluminum Crab

Freya took a moment to consider the t-shirt she'd been handed thoughtfully, lifted her gaze around to her teammates, and sighed slightly, somewhat resigned.

"I'm started to wonder if I should bother even wearing my coat to half of these workshops and activities around here," she commented, as she worked on loosening her cravat and shrugging off her jacket yet again.

"It's a very nice jacket," Elli said, coming over even though she still looked a bit baffled by the shirt she held in her hands.

She hadn't signed up for this?

"But it's, well, it's perhaps a bit formal?"

Duke blinked when his name was called.

"I probably should have seen this coming."

Well. He had been hoping for a distraction, hadn't he. He finished off his thing on a stick (it was tasty!) and went to join his team.

"Is that a polyblend?"

Tahani had her priorities straight.

"This is really my color," Alexis said, looking for the bright side.

"Lake of Aluminum Crab," Tahani repeated. "That doesn't sound like a colour. It sounds like a club that's trying too hard."
