Summer Shenanigans, Wednesday, May 12, 2021
Good morning, everyone! It's time for another summer of Anakin Skywalker Thinks This Teaches Team Building and Also Amuses Himself (Mostly the Second Thing) but "Shenanigans" Is Easier!
The bleachers for viewing were set up in the park backed up to the pond and near the Belthazor Commemorative Divot. Food vendors, remembering how this worked, had arrived with hot dog, popcorn, and rum for the squirrels. Huge flatscreens were set up facing the bleachers, which gave people a hint that today's event would not just stay inside the park, and the cameras were trained at...well, ankle height or the sky for now because squirrels and rum.
Anakin and his bullhorn were standing behind a folding table stacked high with brightly patterned shirts and people who had been here before knew that just because the shirts were free, it never, ever meant you wanted to wear them.
"GOOD MORNING!" he boomed through the bullhorn when enough people were gathered. Just behind the table, invisible because of the piles of shirts, Beaker meeped cheerfully. "Welcome to another summer of team building activities!"
He might be waiting for a while if he was expecting cheers, just saying.
"Today, as has become tradition, we shall conduct a relay race around the island to acquaint you newcomers with where things are!" he said. "Please listen as your name is called and then come up for your festive t-shirts. We shall have three teams of eight."

After everyone had gotten their shirts and teams settled, Anakin reached for the bullhorn again. "Today, we are going without powers if you have any!" he yelled, which still not necessary with a bullhorn, Anakin. "First two team members to the starting line, the rest of youhandwavily find your stations around the island! Ready, steady--go!"

LEG 3
Like, 20 burpees.
Sorry.
Then they run all the way to the docks!
[OOC: Cats, Graffiti, Safari!]
Re: LEG 3
It would be a miracle if they won.
Re: LEG 3
"It's an exercise move," she explained quickly. "It's super annoying. C'mon." She shoved the hat at Belle, took the belly board for herself. "I'll show you when we get there. There's not time."
Look.
These events were very serious business. Okay? Rosa hated losing.
Re: LEG 3
Belle was definitely not leading. But somehow she felt like disappointing Rosa here would end very poorly.
Re: LEG 3
He was trying not to think about that right now. At least Probie seemed to be having fun? Her tail was wagging hard enough, anyway.
Re: LEG 3
And, poor Elli, who hadn't much appreciated all the running and the stairs either, who was clutching a stitch in her side as she eyed what he was doing with just open dismay.
She had to do what?
Re: LEG 3
"Try not to think about it," Travis advised. "Mind over matter. Focus on something else you really like and let your body just move."
It wouldn't work. But hey, it was worth a try?
Re: LEG 3
Re: LEG 3
Yes, Prompto, keep convincing yourself that somehow the words burpees and fun could be included in the same sentence.
Re: LEG 3
"Okay," she said after a minute. "And what's a 'burpee'?"
Re: LEG 3
"Only the worst thing ever," he comissersted. Gladio, of course, was nuts for them. "It's this exercise move, where you--"
But he cut himself off, shaking his head. "You know what? Let's get to the Station first, I'll show you when we get there, then maybe the demonstration can count towards one of the twenty."
Re: LEG 3
Malia shrugged. "Okay." She gestured to the street. "Lead the way, I guess."
