"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
Alexis

TEAM RED DRESS
Steve
Duke
Beaker
Sabine
Kitty

Re: Round One

This game, as most games for these things did, caused a disgruntled growl to roll around in the back of Wayne's throat for a moment before he found Alara, nodded to her, and then went to get himself centered on that scooter.

"Well," he said, lifting his legs and reaching for the basket, and trying to make himself seem lighter out of a clear underestimation of Alara's strength, "pitter patter. Let's get at 'er."

He was mostly just glad that Shuri had to push around a giant shark man during this round so she couldn't spend too much of her time witnessing this and/or taking pictures of it.

“Er, right,” Alara said rather awkwardly as she went for Wayne’s legs so they could start the activity.

It was turning out with these activities that strength wise, she had no problem but that the actual pushing in the right direction part was, as she had found out with that wheelbarrow race.
