"Good morning, everyone!" Anakin called through his bullhorn. "Welcome to another fun-filled team-building activity!"

Is everyone excited? No? Ahhh, you're learning.

There were laundry baskets out, along with scooters, and roughly 3,000 plastic balls in the center of the blacktop that totally existed, shhh.

"Today we're playing Hungry, Hungry Hippos," Anakin announced. "Without actual hippos."

Which needed to be pointed out around here. "Because they are mean and not into team sports."

Because he'd called a few zoos to find out.

"We'll have three teams today, of six members each. One member each round will lay stomach down, clutching the laundry basket. The second team member will use their legs to push them into the balls at the center of the arena."

Blacktop. Whatever.

"The team with the most number of balls at the end of six rounds win."

"Listen for your names and retrieve your shirts:

TEAM CINNAMON SMELL
Wayne
Alara
Amaya
Stark
Astrid
Mae

TEAM WHAMP
Sidon
Shuri
Danny
Tahani
Shunsui

Round Three

[sith_happened]

[Stark pushes Amaya, Tahani pushes Danny, Sabine pushes Beaker. RNG says it goes: Team Whamp, Team Red Dress, Team Cinnamon Smell.]

"Meep mee!" Beaker declared triumphantly even as the laundry basket he was trying to hold up was the size of his entire body.

"We got this," Sabine said, determined. "Don't explode."

And it was gonna be real weird picking up short little Muppet legs.

Re: Round Three

[meepmeepmeep]

"Meep meep meep meep," Beaker said, pointing to Duke.

Duke had his only stick of dynamite!

Re: Round Three

Sabine paused. "I mean, I could give you a little boost."

SABINE NO. NO SABINE.

Re: Round Three

[meepmeepmeep]

"Meep meep meep!" Beaker said excitedly, giving her two thumbs up.

This was going to end in disaster.

Re: Round Three

It wouldn't be on Sabine's end! She was good at this!

Which was why when he was in a good position she pulled something from her pocket and tossed a very, very low grade device towards his feet, which should, um, propel him forward.

It should be in a simple and straightforward way, but this was Beaker.

"Wow, even more of a hard pass." It was weird how that happened!

"Are you afraid of looking ridiculous?" Tahani asked. "Because I can assure you, you do."

Plus Tahani was going to be pushing him while wearing stilletos, so that should...not work at all.

Re: Round Three

[hatesparadise]

THAT MADE IT WORSE.

"Thank you, Regina George. I was very worried about that."

Re: Round Three

[sexy_giraffe]

"I thought so," Tahani said smugly. "You look like that sort of person."

What kind of person was that, Tahani?

"The fun-hating sort of person."

Re: Round Three

[hatesparadise]

"Are you trying to bully me into doing this?" Danny asked slowly. Because it was a real McGarrett move there, Tahani.

Re: Round Three

[sexy_giraffe]

"Is it working?" Tahani asked.

Re: Round Three

[hatesparadise]

Danny shook his head, nose scrunched up like he was giving her an A for effort, though. Then sighed because everyone else was being a decent sport about this. "Look. Just. Don't drop me, got it?"

Re: Round Three

[sexy_giraffe]

"I will do my best," Tahani said. "I'm not exactly built for sprinting, as you might've guessed."

Re: Round Three

[hatesparadise]

"Then just distract the other people." Play to your strengths, Tahani!

Re: Round Three

[sexy_giraffe]

"I am excellent at that," Tahani said. "Though I don't think the...strange felt boy...will need additional distracting."

Re: Round Three

[hatesparadise]

"Nah, he's into that guy over there." Danny was totally pointing at Duke. Helpfully.

Re: Round Three

[sexy_giraffe]

"Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww."

Thank you, Tahani. That was very vehement.

Re: Round Three

[stykera]

"This is entirely new," Stark admitted to Amaya. "But I think after 2 rounds we at least have a good idea how it should go."

Not well, probably, but he didn't think it would end in any injuries so that was a positive.

Re: Round Three

[special_rabbit]

"And I remember it well from the last time we did it," Amaya admitted with a faint grin. It was, after all, kind of hard to forget. "Don't worry, though," she nodded to Stark, "you'll pick up quick."

With that, she went to get down on the scooter and tried not to think about how she didn't exactly dress well for this kind of activity, but it didn't do any good thinking about things like that now. She reached for the basket.

"Just steer me clear," she said with determination, "and we'll have it done in no time."

Re: Round Three

[stykera]

"I will do my best," Stark assured her, reaching for her legs. "Any tips besides steering?"
