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."

TEAM CATS
Sakaki
Miles
Bob
Rosa
Belle
Juillene
Duke
Harry

TEAM GRAFFITI
Enola
Nina
Summer
Prompto
Malia
Annie
Wanda
Clare

TEAM SAFARI
Hannibal
Stark
Rey
Travis
Elli
Tisarwat
Alara
Liam

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 you handwavily find your stations around the island! Ready, steady--go!"

"The...clock, I guess?" Prompto offered with a shrug and a little bit of a grin. "Hopefully the others if we leave them in our dust, right?" The grin grew little more. "It's just supposed to be fun, anyway."

Yes, Prompto, keep convincing yourself that somehow the words burpees and fun could be included in the same sentence.

Malia's look likely made it clear for Prompto just what she thought of about running for fun.

"Okay," she said after a minute. "And what's a 'burpee'?"

As an avid jogger who definitely didn't do it for the fun of it, the tilt of Prompto's grin was sympathetic until Malia asked her question. And then he could only groan and roll his eyes.

"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."

Malia shrugged. "Okay." She gestured to the street. "Lead the way, I guess."
