Summer Shenanigans, Wednesday, June 24, 2020

[sith_happened]

Today the shenanigans were inside the Danger Room because even Anakin couldn't source enough strawberry Jello powder to make a dent on the water surrounding the island.

The unwilling victims people showing up would find themselves looking down onto a huge rec room decorated for a child's birthday, complete with streamers, balloons, and a massive pinata (easily the size of a chair) swinging from the ceiling.

And the floor was entirely covered in red liquidy-goo..stuff...because Anakin wasn't actually going to cover everything in lava.

"Welcome to the Floor is Lava!" Anakin's voice boomed out to the audience. "...my son Christopher helped this week. You will work in teams of three to get from one end of the room to the other without falling into the extremely realistic lava...stuff. The fastest team will win a lava lamp but there are prizes for all! Listen for your names. Oh, and no powers, please."

Or sit around and eat fruit gummies, popcorn, cupcake, and goldfish crackers because Christopher had assisted with snacks, too.

Run the Race!

[sith_happened]

Hopefully you can see the floorplan I spent too much time on.

You begin at the top of the room and there are several ways to get across the room to the exit. Choose to jump onto (slippery) end tables and (not as squishy as they should be) ottomans to get to the sofa, then climb onto the bookcase full of toys, jump onto the fireplace and over to the television, then onto the (spinning, surprise) rocking chair and rocking horse to get out! Or go from the end table and swing onto the window curtains to another spinning rocking chair, Miley Cyrus it up by swinging on the huge pinata and onto either the other ottoman or the upright piano and then to the rocking horse! Teamwork will help you get around--you score a point for each team member that escapes the room, and the team with the fastest time wins outright as determined by the RNG.

Just...prepare to get eaten by lava.

"Right." Duke looked around the room, then at his teammates. ". . . You know, I actually like our chances on this one."

Yeah, Liam was married to- and therefore kept up with- someone with the moniker the Arboreal Priestess, he’d be fine.

“Should be easy enough,” he agreed. “So... where do you think we should start?” Liam was voting for the route that would take them swinging on the curtains, personally. A little more risky, but potentially faster.

Mae was extremely good at jumping from perch to perch.

She was also very good at misjudging her jumps and plunging to her doom.

"DIBS ON THE PINATA!"

Re: Run the Race: Team Two

[white_oleander]

Yeah. Astrid wished she had even an ounce of the confidence Mae had. "Dibs on...the rocking horse?" Sonce they were apparently cling dibs.

Run the Race: Team Three

[OOC: RNG decrees that only Summer survives!]

Shunsui had made sure to slip off his haori and set it aside, because he was absolutely going to hop onto that first table and finding himself oh so gracefully falling into the lava, reaching out as he slowly descended into it.

"Oh, no ♥!" he sang out. "What a terrible and unexpected tragedy! Avenge my unfortunate death, my dear and lovely teammates ♥ ♥ ♥!"

"Oh my god," said Summer, not even wanting to look back from where she'd landed on the couch
"You so did that on purpose!"

As if she wasn't made at you enough right now, Mr. Sleep With Summer's Friends from Home!

Run the Race: Team Four

[throughaphase]

"Okay..." Kitty said, "this doesn't look so bad."

This was a lie.

Re: Run the Race: Team Four

[snowdroplace]

Elli looked a bit doubtful.

"At least it's not real lava?" she said, choosing to try for optimism.

Run the Race: Team Five

[sith_happened]

[OOC: Two survivors! Prompto and Rey!]

Re: Run the Race: Team Five

[thatwaslucky]

"This way looks the easiest," Rey decided, nodding towards the end table.

Let's be real, swinging on curtains would be fun.

Re: Run the Race: Team Five

[hashtag_chocobro]

Prompto followed Rey's eyes, glad to focus on something that wasn't how Nina still wasn't back, and nodded. "Agreed," he said. "I think quick is going to be key, too
. Don't.give.gravity a chance to pull you in, you know?"

Run the Race: Team Six

[sith_happened]

[OOC: You all survive!]

Re: Run the Race: Team Six

[fates_jaye]

"What the hell," Jaye said, staring at the distance between here abd the end table. "What the actual hell."

Re: Run the Race: Team Six

[special_rabbit]

"I mean," Amaya offered lightly, after doing a very similar scan of the room as a whole, "it could be worse? I don't know exactly how, mind you, except maybe if there were maybe lava sharks or goat men involved, but the point is, it could be worse."

Run the Race: Team Seven

[sith_happened]

[OOC: Only Sidon survives!]

Re: Run the Race: Team Seven

[imafuturist]

"Well, this wasn't exactly what I was expecting to do today," Tony said, trying to figure out the best route with the power of his mind.

Re: Run the Race: Team Seven

[in_sidon_we_trust]

"I'm not quite sure," said Sidon, brightly, flexing a little and stretching a bit to get himself ready for some spectacular leaping, "if anyone can predict what awaits us for these activities! But I am ready! Let's go, Team Seven! We can do it! I believe in you!"

Who didn't love a good pep talk to really get into the spirit of things?

Run the Race: Team Eight

[sith_happened]

[OOC: All three survive!]

Re: Run the Race: Team Eight

[magnusrushesin]

"Wait, what counts as powers?" Because if they counted magic gear, he was calling bullshit.

Re: Run the Race: Team Eight

[heroic_jawline]

"I think flying?" Steve replied, squinting at the room around them. "Maybe being able to just think yourself at the exit or something."
