Summer Shenanigans, Wednesday, August 5, 2020

[sith_happened]

Today the grassy area where the games were played was cleared out except for several huge sprinklers that were shooting water all over five very familiar, to Earthlings plastic mats.

"We are playing Sprinkler Twister!" Anakin announced through the bullhorn. "Get excited. You will be divided into five teams of four! I will spin this spinner--" he held up the spinner, "which will tell you what color to put your hands and/or feet! Then I will spin again and you must move a hand or a foot until you fall down and we all laugh at you."

This was another game mostly for the audience, yes.

"Listen for your names!"

Arrive and Mingle

[sith_happened]

At least this week's event would cool everyone down? Or be extremely entertaining while eating popcorn!

Re: Arrive and Mingle

It was time for Mae's weekly stint at being mistaken as a bookie! Maybe this time she'd manage to hold onto the $20 until she could actually spend it.

Somewhere in this park was an accidental hoard of cash. Or possibly the squirrels were using it to buy fancy booze.

Well, Astrid wasn't here to place any bets, but she was here to be potentially awkward.

"Hey."

Okay, make that definitely awkward, but that was fine, it was sort of her default setting And she thought about not bothering Mae, but there was time before this got going and she hadn't had much luck finding other places to bother her lately

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[thishouseishaunted]

Mae was a little too good at hiding in her room lately, this was true. She was playing video games.

Someone should maybe stop her from playing video games.

“Hey,” she said, giving Astrid a little wave. “How’s it going?”

Re: Arrive and Mingle

And there would be Mae's favorite mark showing up.

"Who's the team to lose?" she said carefully palming a twenty dollar bill to her favorite bookie.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[thishouseishaunted]

"Team three," Mae answered promptly.

None of the teams would lose. They were for individual competitions. None of that mattered much to either of them at this point.

Eleanor sat back, confident in knowing that if she did get called she'd be one flexible motherforker out there.

And if she didn't get called she'd get to laugh her ass off watching other people play twister.

Come on Down, Voluntolds!

[sith_happened]

Size up the competition on your team!

And We Twist!

[sith_happened]

You are free to mod the calls Anakin is making for the most entertaining possible outcomes, since that's really why anyone even plays Twister.

Team One

[sith_happened]

RNG says the outcome goes:
WINNER: Sidon
then: Beauregard, Summer, and Shuri

Re: Team One

[somethingwithturquoise]

Already, Summer was looking at the map and looking at who was going to be on this mat with her, and considering how much space one of them took up just by existing and had sort of a hunch....

But whatever, stupid sexy shark prince. The bigger they are, the harder they fall, right?

Just hopefully not on top of her, Beau, or Shuri.

"Right foot blue!"

At least it didn't start with red!

Re: Team One

[scoffs_at_tradition]

"Well this isn't that difficult," Shuri said, putting her foot on blue.

Then Anakin yelled "Left hand green" and Shuri groaned. "Oh, now I see."

Team Two

[sith_happened]

RNG says:
WINNER: Freya
Then: Prompto, Steve M, Wayne

Re: Team Two

[grenadesandohana]

"Right, so this is a little like BUD/s," Steve said, "with the water and the hitting the ground when some guy on a power trip tells you to--"

Anakin yelled out "Right foot blue," and Steve shrugged and put his foot on the correct color. "Here goes nothin'."

Re: Team Two

[hashtag_chocobro]

BUD/s?" asked Prompto, practically hearing those capital letter and parking up a little in interest as he planted a foot firmly on a blue circle, and then contemplating the best reach for his hand to go on green. "What's that?"

Team Three

[sith_happened]

RNG says:
WINNER: Steve R
Then: Tisarwat, Beaker, Yasha

Re: Team Three

[meepmeepmeep]

"Meep meep meep meep meep," Beaker said, looking alarmed. "Meep meep!"

Re: Team Three

[heroic_jawline]

"Right," Steve said, pretending like he had any idea what Beaker had said. "Let's try it anyway, okay?"

Team Four

[sith_happened]

RNG says:
WINNER: Astrid
Then: Rosa, Tahani, Shunsui

Re: Team Four

[sexy_giraffe]

"Well, this certainly isn't dignified," Tahani muttered.

Re: Team Four

[sake_shinigami]

"No ♥," Shunsui agreed easily, with a grin toward the one person on his team who hadn't previously been a student of his and a very good reminder of why he still sometimes enjoyed these things, "it certainly is not ♥."

Re: And We Twist!

[sith_happened]

RNG says it goes:
WINNER: Rey
Then: Alara, Mae, Amaya

Re: And We Twist!

[special_rabbit]

Amaya did not at all feel confident about this sort of this, but that didn't mean she wouldn't at least try to give it her all, as Anakin called out right foot blue, and she just took careful note of how this mat was goi g to work with the slip-factor of gloves and boots...

Talk to Anakin!

[sith_happened]

If you must.

OOC

[sith_happened]

The mental image of this is killing me.
