Summer Shenanigans, Wednesday, June 16, 2021

[sith_happened]

Another Wednesday, another insane set-up in the park!

Today there was a new, six part metal obstacle course set up: a tilted cube, a mountain, a loading bay, the ridge, the front line, and The Sisters.

"Welcome to professional tag," Anakin yelled into his megaphone, "which is apparently a sport now. We will divide into two teams: Team Pizza will be the taggers, Team Dread will be the, um, don't get tagged."

He was from a different galaxy, what do you want from him?

"Going in pairs, you will have 20 seconds in the obstacle course to either track down or evade the other person. If you get tagged, the other team gets a point. If you evade getting tagged, your team gets a point It's pretty easy. Listen for your name and then come get your shirt!"

Ben laughed as he put his existential shirt on. His husband, the philosophy teacher, would probably have a thing or two to say about how relevant the shirt was for him.

"Don't suppose you'll go easy on me because we live together?" Clare shouted hopefully across the course at Malia.

Re: Round Twelve

[momslilassassin]

Ben grinned and waved at Rey. "This should be epic."

Re: Round Two

Summer couldn't help just grinning a little at Ignis from where she stood on the course.

"Remember," she said, "it's almost my birthday. It's pretty bad form, tagging someone when it's almost their birthday."

"I actually kind of like this," Annie noted, holding up her weird pizza shirt to admire it before pulling it on. "Like, I'll sleep in this. Work out in it. Horrify my mom with it."

Oh, man, this thing had great 'answering the door and pissing off Ashley' potential at work, even.

"Oh, wow."

Prompto was...not sure he'd ever had a piece of clothing speak to him this much before.

He kind of loved it and was probably going to be wearing it everywheeeere.

(Well, when he wasn't supposed to be in Crownsguard black, anyway).

Annie was more than happy to actually make it to the park this week to watch, given that last week she'd spent most of Wednesday slipping in and out of naps while watching people run obstacle courses on television, and today she was feeling a lot better.

The cicadas were a whole thing, though, and Annie couldn't help but kind of frown at the trees when she realized how goddamn loud they were. Like, she was from Iowa, she was super used to bugs, and yet.
