Summer Shenanigans, Wednesday, July 7, 2021

[sith_happened]

Anakin was holding the shenanigans today mostly as a way to conduct a head count on who was still around and comfortable enough to venture outside. The seating and tables had been lashed securely to trees in the park, and the inflatable whack-a-mole games had been bungee corded to each other and then to a tree.

Anakin wasn't losing anyone down a hole during this, thanks.

"Welcome," he said to those who arrived. "Let's work out some stress." He gestured to the inflated games. "We'll be in groups of seven. Six of you are moles--your job is to collect as many balls on the surface of the game as you can. One of you has an inflatable mallet: your job is to smack everyone on the head before they retrieve all the balls. Let's work on those reflexes, everyone."

TEAM I'M WHACK

[sith_happened]

The RNG declares Sidon the winner (the RNG is wise), but mod your balls (not dirty) and Tahani will attempt to bop you all on the head!

Tahani was absolutely letting the power of this inflatable bat go to her head. "Oh, do come out so I can hit you!"

"If you even so much as think of hitting me with that mallet, I will find one of those holes just to throw you in it."

Rosa Diaz: never too good to not threaten children.

And with that, and a pointed glare, she snatched a couple of the nearest balls before sinking back into the hole, to let that really settle before coming back up to see about getting a few more.

"You're terrifying," Tahani told her.

If Sidon was looking for a bit of distraction among all this hole business, he'd certainly found it in this activity! After all, his size did make him a rather easy target, but it also gave him an incredible reach and quite a bit of space outside the holes that the others didn't have.

It was an inflatable, though, and he would so hate to ruin everyone's distraction so quickly with his errant claws, as was wont to happen around him and inflatables, but you can bet he was striving to be both cautious and victorious!

He wondered if it was counterintuitive to throw at least a fee balls at Tahani if she came around with the intention to whack him, but, really, there was only one way to find out...

Belle was only slightly over 5 feet tall. She could reach her hand out of the top of the hole and hope to grab a ball but her head was absolutely not reaching the surface unless she jumped high enough. And why would she do that when her head was only going to be bopped?

Re: TEAM I'M WHACK

Tahani would really have to stop the maniacal giggling if she was going to get to whack people.

Here she came, giggling!

Re: TEAM I'M WHACK

"You're much taller," Belle called from deep in the hole. "Shouldn't we switch places?"

That giggling was a bit frightening to be quite honest.

Re: TEAM I'M WHACK

"No," Tahani decided. "I have the mallet. That makes me the queen."

It did not.

"I don't believe royalty has ever been conferred that way," Belle said, trying to jump just so she could give Tahani a withering look. It was not a very effective jump. Vertical leaps would never be Belle's strongest suit.

Re: TEAM I'M WHACK

Neither were athletic things, just in general, for Tahani, so Belle was safe this time.

Alara was short enough that she could fit in the hole but she was also focused on not trying to accidentally break the game with her strength.

So her movement was rather somewhat limited as she attempted to grab what balls she was able to.

Re: TEAM I'M WHACK

"Stay still so I can hit you!"

That's not how this worked, Tahani.

Harry was actually having fun with this, trying to sneak balls into the hole whenever Tahani was distracted by other people. Not very sneakily, though.
