"Today, since it's between sessions, Beaker has decided to take point," Anakin announced from where his bullhorn was poking out from an absolutely enormous pile of donuts.

The new raccoons had apparently decided to show up today to get new customers through their amazing donuts...tower...things.

So. There were a lot of donuts.

Just. A lot.

"Today we're going to use these donuts--thank you, County Donuts--in a relay race...thing. You can only pass them under your chin. Fortunately, we have a lot of extras for when you drop them!"

He turned to Beaker. "Are there any other rules?"

Beaker meeped extensively. Anakin's eyes went wide. "Well, that's going to get messy."

"Meep meep."

Anakin coughed. "Apparently the donuts are also on a timer and they will disintegrate into sprinkles--or jelly, or cream--if you take too long."

Thank you, Muppet physics.

"Listen for your names! There will be four teams of seven."

Beaker meeped smugly.

Anakin sighed. "And I, apparently, have been included. Come get your t-shirts."

Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[sith_happened]

Admire your amazing t-shirts! Glee about Anakin finally having to do this.

"Thank god I don't have to get my own clothes messy with all of this," Summer realized, as she contemplated, once again, if her sense of taste had been so skyrocketed off the guage of reasonable by now since she couldn't decided if she loved or hated this shirt, but she pulled it on eagerly because this? Was going to be...something....

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

"I don't understand the joke," said poor, Irish Clare.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

"It's, like, not even that good of one," Summer offered in sympathy. "They really shoe-horned that in there, but, the dude on the shirt's Ben Franklin. Same guy on our hundos. One of the so called 'Founding Fathers'," which didn't need sarcastic finger quotes, but Summer was giving them anyway. "So I guess some frat guys would think 'Franklin' and 'Drankin' are close enough to be hilarious."

And so one part of her was definitely a frat guy, because there was definitely a part of her who did think it was at least amusing.

She would much rather party with a Ben Drankin' over an Abradolf Lincler any day of the week.

"Well," Ben said, looking down at his shirt, "this is a thing I now own."

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[sake_shinigami]

You know, Shunsui didn't really get t-shirts most of the time, and still boggled over why anyone would want to wear something as constrictive and unfortable as anything like modern clothes, but this time around?

"Heh. Well... ♥."

Which he felt would be a little better with a different make-up for his own team, but...he really felt he couldn't complain about this branding right now.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

"I kind of like this shirt," he said, looking down at himself. It'd be good for the gym. You know, until he got to the point where he took his shirt off because who actually kept their shirt on during their entire work out?

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[apocalypsehow]

"You did this," Five said because it was the only explanation he had here.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[knife_bender]

"Believe it or not, I am not responsible for every bad thing that happens to you." Those scratches on your arms and hands were all him though, and he was proud of it.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[scarlet_chaos]

Wanda quickly came up with a scrunchie to tie her hair back as soon as she heard what they'd be doing today. She knew that was going to end badly whether the donut disintegrated on her or not.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[special_rabbit]

"I don't get it," said Amaya, frowning as she held out her shirt and read over it again. "Is America supposed to be ten in this case? How does that mean you're free? You think it'd be the other way around. I mean, sure, you're not under the oppressive thumb of a totalitarian monarchy, but you've all still got an awful lot of laws and restrictions and whatnot around here..."

Because, sure, Amaya, go ahead and turn this into sociopolical discussion from your magical-fuedal perspective on the whole thing.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

Anakin dropped his robe in a puddle next to his bullhorn and ducked into his t-shirt.

So now he was wearing three shirts. That wasn't going to turn him into a sweaty disaster in three seconds at all.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[chef_chocobro]

So Ignis now had a ridiculous t-shirt and the promise of an unholy mess on his hands, but he supposed there was something to be said about not getting his own clothes messed up for this nonsense.

"Just say no, Ignis," he was muttering to himself as he carefully removed his gloves and his jacket and his button-down to replace it with the t-shirt and hopefully not mess up his hair too much in the process, and then folding those items up carefully to be set aside. "The next time he insists it will be fun, just say no..."

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[hashtag_chocobro]

Prompto was admittedly a little disappointed not to be on Ignis's team for something like this, because watching him try to do this would be priceless, but he was definitely stoked to be a part of any team, because this could be fun!

Or, well, interesting. It was definitely going to be interesting. The jury was still out on the fun part, maybe.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[alwaysonguard]

"Well, the shirt is at least patriotic" Dwight muttered as he pulled the shirt on over his. And whether by some forethought on Anakin's part (unlikely) or some random chance or islands magic (more likely) the shirt was actually big enough to just about fit him perfectly... just about.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[white_oleander]

Was it weird that Astrid thought that, hey, at least the flowers at the shop were in a licking mood today because she was definitely going to be covered in donut debris by the end of this?

Yeah, it was definitely weird.

Did flowers even like donuts?

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[imawizard]

Harry looked at his shirt and had to ask, "Really?" in all his Britishness.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[lovethatjourney]

The shirt was tacky as hell, and yet Alexis could work it. She'd even tie up the bottom so it was a cute little midriff too now.

This might even come in handy someday!

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[noonedecidesmyfate]

Belle didn't quite get the shirt but she didn't get a lot of things around here. This seemed very silly and Belle wasn't sure why occasionally she ended up involved in these odd activities but she did enjoy donuts.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[stykera]

"I hadn't planned on being covered in donuts," Stark said with a small sigh as he pulled his shirt on. "I suppose I never plan for any of this. I just know something will happen."

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[desertwolfcub]

The smell of the donuts was mixing very oddly with the faint whiff of venison that Malia was getting off her own skin.

And all the varied unusual scents on those around her.

She scowled at the t-shirt du jour. Between the colors on this thing and the various olfactory distractions, she was going to end the day with such a headache. . . .

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[but_mostly_america]

"Beaker! What is the meaning of this nonsense? I did not agree to any of this!"

Although Sam did, secretly, rather enjoy the eagle on the shirt looking so very cool.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[meepmeepmeep]

"Meep meep mee!" Beaker said. Smugly.

You're welcome to this amazing experience, Sam. No need to thank him!

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[but_mostly_america]

"What have you done? Why are there so many donuts?"

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[desertwolfcub]

You know what? Malia was trying. She was trying so hard to resist all the various scents coming off of people out here. But she thought Sam looked tasty on a good day. And he just smelled so much like something she wanted right now.

So if she was sort of . . . lingering nearby him and salivating, that wasn't really her fault, right? The full moon had just been a few days ago, after all!
