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!"

Re: LEG 1
"Whatever," Mae said. "You don't know me."
Re: LEG 1
The closest species to dragons as far as attitude went were cats, so he probably shouldn't even be surprised.
Re: LEG 1
Mae would argue strenuously that she was not a cat. But then, he'd say the same about not being a dragon, so.
"So you know a lot of awesome people?"
Re: LEG 1
Re: LEG 1
"That's cool," Mae said, that frown going right over her head. "Self-esteem is important."
Re: LEG 1
He just sighed. "Do you wanna try getting on my back again?" he suggested.
But maybe without the screaming?
Re: LEG 1
"I guess." Mae eyed him up. "Even if you won't let me do it the fun way."
Re: LEG 1
"I have been told very many times that I am the worst," he said with another sigh. "I'll add your complaint to the pile."
