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!"

T-shirt donned and rope ready, Miles started the process of tying his leg to Sakaki's. "I've been here for a while so I know where to go," he said mildly disappointed that he couldn't use powers. Though web shooting wasn't really a power right?

Nope. Nope. Dean Skywalker said no powers so Miles was going to stick to the rules.

Hell yeah, Diego was going to sit here and watch and act like he was never going to be a part of this.

Let him keep his delusions for a little bit.

This would be fun, right? Sure, it was kind of disappointing that she couldn't use her powers, but it would be a nice way to get to know people. Even if Wanda wasn't the most athletic person on the planet.

She could have done without the ugly shirt though.

Okay, this was not fun. This was not fun at all. Wanda could only hope nobody she knew could see her struggling down the street with a bowling ball in an ugly shirt and ugly shoes.

Summer honestly would have been disappointed if she hadn't been called and she looked at her shirt with horror and delight.

Horrelight.

"This is disgusting," she said, holding it arms length. "I love it."

"It's so eye-catching!" Clare agreed.

Eye-searing. One of those.

Clare panted along behind her. "Leave me here to die!" she gasped. "Why are there so many stairs?!"

"I should not have had that hot dog before this started," Summer realized, as she got maybe an inch into that chocolate milkshake and was too full of regret to put in much of a good fight.

Sorry guys!

But also not sorry because there was so much candy in her apartment right now for her jello shots that she did not need a milkshake right now, either, ugh!

Enola was of course ecstatic to be involved in shenannigans. Especially with Nina who she had not seen in forever. She was also glad she wore jeans and modern attire today. "I've never done a three legged race before," Enola said looking at the rope. "Have you?"

Of course Barry was there. And he brought snacks because this was a totally snack worthy event.

Granted they were kale chips and he was mostly feeding those to a porg.

Stark had been dragged out of bed by very insistent squirrels this morning and definitely needed a snack and a beverage before facing whatever horrors Anakin was going to subject everyone to this morning.

"Didn't miss this part," Rey muttered, donning a shirt.

The rest she kind of had. Unless she has to stick her feet in a bucket of anything.

That was certainly a shirt that Stark was putting on with a sigh and a bit of an eyeroll.

"Where does he even find these? And why?"
