Summer Shenanigans, Wednesday, June 17, 2020

[sith_happened]

There was a catwalk set up in the center of the park today. Were you worried? Because you should be worried.

"In an effort to appease all of the animals on the island so they don't invade the next graduation," Anakin said, glaring at the representatives of said wildlife, "everyone, not just gremlins, will be a part of our fashion show."

He gestured at the tables full of fabric, yarn, cardboard, flowers, and other objects that could be turned into outfits if you squinted and tried really hard and were also trying to dress an alot. "You must make cohesive outfits for your animal based around a theme that each team will be given as their name."

The ugly t-shirt shipment had been delayed this week, unfortunately.

"You have several handwavey hours to get this finished and then we will all enjoy the outfits."

Well. Anakin would enjoy the outfits.

"Listen for your names!

Arrive and Mingle

[sith_happened]

Get some snacks! Avoid meeting Anakin's eye! It won't save you, but it's worth trying?

Look, by now Duke was well aware that he was entirely doomed to spend his Wednesdays doing something patently absurd. He was resigned to his lot in life.

But at least there were snacks.

Mae had handful of food on sticks, and was sitting perched somewhere implausible with them, kicking her legs and pretending her stick-food was a set of claws.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[magnusrushesin]

"Hey, where'd you get those?" Because everyone knew food on a stick was the best kind of food.

Summer may have been a little bummed to not be involved with this one if it weren't for the fact that being a spectator was soooo much better. There would not be enough popcorn in the world...

Re: Arrive and Mingle

Once again, Shunsui had shown up to simply spectate, find new ways to nap, or potentially soothe particularly injured spirits in the face of defeat, only to have all these well-made plans thwarted by his name being called out.

"I have just got to stop coming to these things," he murmured to no one in particular except perhaps his own dispirited self.

Prompto wasn't really here to participate, although the distraction would have been nice. He was just hoping (maybe against hope) that Nina had returned just as she left, which meant without a word, and, if not, that he could at least hope someone had some information about her disappearance where he did not.

Because, yeah, worried was far beyond an understatement by now...

"Thank the stars!" said Amaya, settling happily into her meat-on-a-stick far away from the action. "I get to skip the gremlin one."

THAT DID NOT MEAN YOU WERE SAFE, AMAYA.

A small part of Astrid would have liked to have been more involved in this one, but this was actually much better, giving her the chance to record all of these sure-to-be-excellent fashions for posterity in her sketchbook....and everything else that happened in between.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[howareyanow]

The only thing better than a Wednesday activity was a Wednesday activity that Wayne wasn't actively participating in, where he could settle in with a dart and a pop and partake in maybe a tiny bit of shaudenfruede...

It was enough to almost pit a smile o his face.

Almost.

[lilac_eyed_lieutenant]

Tisarwat wasn't going to be the only one not there had had mixed experiences with this thing so far, but she wasn't doing anything that morning so she figured she'd come down to the park anyway....only to not even be called. But it should definitely be an interesting one to watch, and she did bring her tea flask, because she wasn't about to trust the vendors here to get tea even remotely right...

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[canlendanear]

By this point Alara was somewhat expecting to have her name called when she arrived at these events but she was still actually looking forward to them.

Make Your Amazing Outfits!

Or spend several hours ducking wood getting thrown at your head. Or both!

[in_sidon_we_trust]

It would seem that Sidon always got called on to participate when he came to visit the island these Wednesdays! Funny how that worked out.

"Swimwear?" he had to laugh as he considered their assignment. "Spectacular! Although I have always found swimwear quite unnecesarry... "

But he felt the same way about clothing in general, soooo...

Team Spring Formal

Re: Team Spring Formal

"YES!!!" Mae cried. "This was my favorite last year!"

This had gotten her handwavily gremlin-bit last year. The odds of that happening again this year were . . . high.

Extremely high.

Mae should not be allowed around gremlins.

Team Winter Wonderland

"Think we can get away with just sticking a red nose on it and calling it Rudolf?"

Tahani whipped out her phone. "I can call Karl," she said. "If he can dress Claudia Schiffer, he could certainly figure out a woodchuck."

On the Catwalk

[sith_happened]

Show us your amazing outfits!

Talk to Anakin!

[sith_happened]

He's not going to tell the woodchuck to stop chucking wood, Tahani.

OOC

[sith_happened]

Mwahahaha.
