[sith_happened]

Well, Anakin's clothing options had shrunk considerably overnight, which was why he was dressed like a hipster rather than a Jedi.

At least he wasn't boiling in the robe because it was easily 100 degrees outside with humidity to match.

"Today we're combining the fun of a color run with the other fun of a tough mudder," Anakin announced into the megaphone from under his hat.

Your idea of fun might vary considerably!

"Working in teams, you will complete obstacles located around the island, and when you're finished each one, Beaker will dump dye on you."

Beaker, currently an unnatural shade of teal, meeped in what he incorrectly thought was a supportive way.

"First team across the finish line and into the water wins. Listen for your names. There are three teams of five."

TEAM ONE
Alexis
Wayne
Mae
Tahani
Elli

TEAM TWO
Iris
Rosa
Rey
Steve M.
Stark

TEAM THREE
Jules
Alara
Eleanor
Shuri
Cait Sith

Anakin looked momentarily embarrassed. "The t-shirts I had for you seem to have disappeared overnight. Apologies."

Obstacle One: Mud Trenches!

[sith_happened]

This 30 foot trek through waist deep mud pits and up-and-over 6 different 8 foot high slippery mud mounds is going to require some serious help from your crew to conquer.

And then Beaker throws powdered dye on you.

[OOC: RNG says this one goes Team Two, Team Three, Team One.]

"NO. Nononono no no, I am not doing this," Tahani declared, trying to find a non-muddy place to sit down and sulk about it.

"Wimp," Mae said, and flung herself into the first trench.

And vanished up to her ears.

She came back up sputtering. "LITTLE HELP HERE?"

Re: Obstacle One: Mud Trenches!

[snowdroplace]

Elli swallowed the urge to laugh even as she moved to inch over to the trench, kneel down and offer her hand over to Mae.

"Here," she said, "I'll pull you out. Maybe use a stick next time to check the depth?"

Re: Obstacle One: Mud Trenches!

[thishouseishaunted]

"Thanks," Mae asked. "But what fun would that be?"

Looking before she leaped? What was she, some sort of reasonable person?

Re: Obstacle One: Mud Trenches!

[mother_forker]

"Hey, if we have to do it, so should you!" Eleanor shouted back and flung a nice mudball in Tahani's direction. "Let's go hot stuff!"

Re: Obstacle One: Mud Trenches!

[sexy_giraffe]

"That was so rude!" Tahani yelled. "And this is dry clean only."

Dry clean only leisurewear. Super, super practical stuff.

Re: Obstacle One: Mud Trenches!

[mother_forker]

"Well it's ruined now!" Eleanor yelled back. "And if you want me to pay for dry cleaning you need to get across the finish line."

Re: Obstacle One: Mud Trenches!

[grenadesandohana]

"This is absolutely doable," Steve said, cracking his knuckles. "We just need to work together to get over the hills. Who else has done something like this before?"

Re: Obstacle One: Mud Trenches!

[intraspective]

"I can cheat outrageously and walk on top of the mud," Iris noted.

What?

She wasn't going waist deep in the stuff if she didn't have to.

Re: Obstacle One: Mud Trenches!

[grenadesandohana]

Well, Douchey Hat Guy hadn't said they couldn't do that.

"It's not cheating if they didn't say not to do it," Steve decided.

Re: Obstacle One: Mud Trenches!

[intraspective]

"I'll take it!"

It wasn't going to save her from the mud next obstacle but, hey, she'd still take it.

"You do this thing before?"

Re: Obstacle One: Mud Trenches!

[thatwaslucky]

"He didn't say we couldn't cheat," said Rey, even though she wasn't going to cheat herself. "I've climbed sand dunes?"

Re: Obstacle One: Mud Trenches!

[intraspective]

"He didn't," she agreed. "I'm totally going to cheat my way across the first path."

Iris was going to be so annoyed at the next obstacle. She had way, way too much hair for that to be anything but horrifically disastrous.

"Sand and mud shouldn't be too dissimilar, right?"

Re: Obstacle One: Mud Trenches!

[mother_forker]

"Was this even here yesterday?" Eleanor complained as she tried to climb the first hill.

And slid back down again.

"Ugh. It's hot and this is hard and I don't want to do it."

Re: Obstacle One: Mud Trenches!

[sith_said]

Cait was no where near Eleanor since, much like Mae, he'd grumbled and then leapt into the mud and...

Well. He just wasn't tall enough for this. At all.

"Somebody sae me! I'm drownin'!"

This was going great. Just great.

Re: Obstacle One: Mud Trenches!

[mother_forker]

"Man, what is it with this island and talking cats?" Eleanor asked as she reached over to pull Cait out of the mud.

Re: Obstacle One: Mud Trenches!

[lovethatjourney]

"I'd rather die!" Alexis declared, from where she was wearing something white and very expensive.

Also, ewwwwww.

Re: Obstacle One: Mud Trenches!

[sexy_giraffe]

"Why did you wear white to this?" Tahani asked.

In designer leisurewear.

Re: Obstacle One: Mud Trenches!

[lovethatjourney]

"Because my clothes are disappearing, and I'm due for another panic attack about that any minute now, and my options were limited and also I'm super cute in this," Alexis replied.

Re: Obstacle One: Mud Trenches!

[mother_forker]

"It's only mud!" Eleanor shouted from her vantage point. "C'mon princess! Let's get dirty!"

And with that Eleanor flung a mudball at that pretty white dress.

Re: Obstacle One: Mud Trenches!

[lovethatjourney]

There was a shriek as soon as the mudball connected, and she whirled on Eleanor.

"Ew! Ew ew ew! You are paying for this dry cleaning!"

Re: Obstacle One: Mud Trenches!

[died8yearsago]

Rosa was down to a ratty t-shirt and sweat pants that were bound for the trash eventually, anyway, so you'd better believe she was hitting this as hard as she could because what was a little mid, right?

This was going to be an oddly therapeutic way to channel a lot of jer....everything right now.

Re: Obstacle One: Mud Trenches!

[grenadesandohana]

"Finally, someone with focus," Steve said, giving a slightly judgmental look to the two teens sulking by the course.

Re: Obstacle One: Mud Trenches!

[died8yearsago]

Rosa snorted, too busy with her trudging forward to fully give a slightly judgemental look toward....this person. "Exactly," she said, "don't ruin it with chit chat. Less talking, move moving....guy."

Did she know who this was? She didn't think she knew who this was. It didn't really matter who this was.
