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!"

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."

Re: Team One

[in_sidon_we_trust]

There was at least one clear disadvantage that Sidon had, and that was that, yes, he was easily pushing eight feet by now, but, proportionally....

Okay, no, even with his.proportions, he didn't have to stretch far, no. "I do promise to try to keep my head tail out of the way," he promised, as he owed the instructions to keep his right foot and left hand in.place while adding his left hand to blue as instructed.

Re: Team One

[scoffs_at_tradition]

"Very appreciated," Shuri said, trying to reach for blue.

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?"

Re: Team Two

[howareyanow]

"Basic Underwater Demolition-slash-SEAL," Wayne supplied stoutly, as if he had been the one who was asked, frowning slightly over the fact that already, he knew his body wasn't going to be half as bendy as Prompto's, who seemed made of rubber half the time, plus they had to add in a giant rat taller'n them both and her tail, and a NABY SEAL, apparentleh. "U.S. Navy SEALS training."

Re: Team Two

[hashtag_chocobro]

"What, like with actual seals?" asked Prompto, his excitement climbing.

What? They had a giant rat girl on their team, IT WAS A FAIR QUESTION.

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?"

Re: Team Three

[notarockharpist]

"Do we have to?" asked Yasha, who was wondering how she'd let Beau talk her into something regrettable yet again. (Spoiler: on top of having a -2 penalty to wisdom saves, she pretty much always had disadvantage on wisdom saves against Beau.)

Re: Team Three

[lilac_eyed_lieutenant]

"It doesn't seem too hard?" offered Tisarwat, tentatively putting a foot on us as it was.called out and listening for the next one. "I could do without the water, though..."

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: Team Four

[died8yearsago]

"Ugh," said the recipient of that said grin, whose goal now was not so much to actually win as it was to just get Shunsui off the mat as soon as possible.

For...everyone's sake.

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...

Re: And We Twist!

[thatwaslucky]

"This isn't so bad," Rey said, putting her right foot on blue. "It's not like we're stepping in anything this week."

Re: And We Twist!

[thishouseishaunted]

"You all have an unfair advantage," Mae grumbled. "With your long-ass legs."

Re: And We Twist!

[thatwaslucky]

"I'd apologize but I also don't know how to fix that," Rey said, putting her left hand on green as it was called.
