"Good morning, everyone!" Anakin yelled through his megaphone. There were four inflatable kiddie pools spread throughout the area with folding chairs around them. "Today we will be Toe Fishing!"

Beaker made extremely alarmed meeping sounds.

"With your toes, not for toes," Anakin explained quickly. "Each pool has objects sunk to the bottom! Whichever team recovers them all in the fastest time wins! You may only use your toes, so hopefully everyone has those."

He didn't know your lives, okay.

"Listen for your names and come get your t-shirts!"

Arrive and Mingle

[sith_happened]

Get snacks! Wonder what fresh hell Anakin is going to unleash on you! Place your bets, Eleanor!

Come on Down, Voluntolds!

[sith_happened]

Get your amazing t-shirts! Wonder who on Earth named these colors! Plot out...toe strategy? Is that a thing?

Ready, Set, Gooooooooo

[sith_happened]

There are 20 different (moddable) objects in each pool of various sizes and textures--but it definitely includes two live, actual goldfish in each pool. Everything else is moddable. Go nuts!

RNG says the winning order goes:
1. Ray of Lime Juice
2. Daytona Suntan
3. Runny Nose Hunt
4. Summer Sunshine

"What the hell," Kitty said, from team Ray of Lime
juice.

"This is not the color of a suntan," Steve said, putting the shirt over his head. "This is the color of a tourist who fell asleep at the beach."

Tahani made a face at the water. "Are we sure this is sanitary? It doesn't seem very sanitary."

She hadn't even noticed the live fish yet. It'll be loud when she does.

After a night of horrible personal choices as well as grass flavored shots, Eleanor came to Shenanigans for only two reasons.

1. Place bets.
2. The possibility of getting free shots at Caritas later.

Still. If everyone could be VERY QUIET around Eleanor she'd appreciate it greatly.

Re: Come on Down, Voluntolds!

"Uuuuuuugh," Eleanor groaned. "Everyone is too bright and loud."

She took her shirt and just went to the kiddie pool without an argument.

Re: Summer Sunshine

[mother_forker]

"Whatever, hot stuff," Eleanor groaned and just sat down in the pool, too hungover to even to attempt to stand up AND pick things up with her toes. "Let's just get this over with."

...

"There's something wiggling under my butt."

Barry should know better than to show up for an event like this. But he was here on the off chance he could laugh at other people's misfortune.

No such luck.

Until he was called he would just be sitting back and looking at the phone the entire time.

Re: Ray of Lime Juice

[throughaphase]

Here was Kitty, trying to phase until it was time to grab something with her toes, which was half working.

It worked really well in getting a goldfish by accident.

"This is weird! Ohhhh this is weird!"

Re: Summer Sunshine

[sexy_giraffe]

Tahani looked extremely alarmed to hear that. "What could possibly be wiggling?"

Re: Ray of Lime Juice

[badassprodigy]

Barry stood in the pool with his bare feet. Looking down at the fish he was really wishing his buddy Roxie the former Sasquatch was here right now to capture fish with her giant feet.

Still...

He waited patiently to strike with this toes. Maybe he could pin a fish to the bottom of the pool and then grab it with his toes?

Thinking it was Tuesday and feeling inspired by the class he thought was yesterday, Shundui headed to the park to enjoy a nice park bench nap.

It did not take him long to realize that today was not Tuesday.

But it did take him long enough for his name to be called, apparently.

...wonderful...

Re: Summer Sunshine

[mother_forker]

"For some reason it reminds me of a fish," Eleanor said half thoughtfully/half hungover.

It's probably best not to ask how she knows what a fish wiggling under her butt feels like.

"Hey, just think of it as one of those weird pedicure places where the fish eat the dead flesh off your feet."

That's probably not helping Eleanor.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[dauntlessdragoon]

Though she was trying very hard not to let it bother her, Freya's tail was twitching with irritation by the time she made it to the park. Because she wanted to get a few things at the general store, but it seemed that everytime she reached the door, she was sent, as if repelled, somewhere else and she couldn't fathom exactly why. She knew there was no point in getting angry, that these things tended.to happen around here, but it was terribly frustrating and she couldn't shake the feeling she was being singled out somehow.

Hopefully, though, whatever the activity was today would take her mind off of it for a while.

[betterthanaplan]

"Is it weird that this challenge seems almost normal to me?"

They weren't even trying to fish through jello!

Re: Runny Nose Hunt

[thishouseishaunted]

"DIBS ON THE FISH."

Mae was not going to end up catching much of anything, no.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[thishouseishaunted]

"So, word going around is Summer Sunshine is favored to come in last."

Mae was wondering if Eleanor would put money down on her own team losing, yes.
