Summer Shenanigans- Wednesday, August 11

[solo_sword]

Oh hey, Anakin and Beaker weren't here today! Instead there was a short brunette with a megaphone. She didn't need it, she just liked it.

"Welcome to today's Shenanigans. Grandfather's not here. I'm Jaina and I'm going to be your drill instructor today," she announced. "Today you're going to be doing a mud run. You will get dirty, you won't like it, and I won't care."

Jaina hadn't realized it was Truth Day, that was just how she talked to people.

"We have five obstacles for you to get through to make it to the end, where you will win absolutely nothing. Maybe my grudging respect. No teams today, it's every being for themselves. And I don't know hardly anyone's names so whoever I point to has to come down here and participate, and I know who I'm pointing to so don't think you're getting away with anything."

Arrive and Mingle

[solo_sword]

Get snacks! Maybe talk to people and confess every little thing on your mind when asked?

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[somethingwithturquoise]

Summer definitely came down to the shenanigans to at least witness them even if she didn't get called really! I promise! totally always there, because how else would she know who was entitled to at least one free jello shot as per the participant rule, huh?

"Ohhh, man," she said, grinning like an idiot as she found a place to sit and enjoy the show with her usual Snacks to Celebrate Not Being Called, "am I glad to get to skip this one out!"

Some Truths were definitely easier than others!

Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[solo_sword]

You still get ugly shirts. How else is anyone supposed to know you're a voluntold?

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[scarlet_chaos]

Wanda had just stopped being surprised when she got called down. Instead she had the weekly dread of what her shirt looked like this week.

Honestly, it could have been worse. This would be a nice shirt to work out in if it wasn't totally ruined by the end of this.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[stykera]

"I didn't realize it was a family trait," Stark grumbled, eyeing the shirt.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[flourish_or_perish]

"I hope he's back for paintball," Faye said, more honest about that than she'd like because she would much prefer to pretend that she didn't even notice if Anakin showed up to things, so little did he matter to her, et cetera, et cetera.

But she was just chalking that honesty up to her lack of filter being perhaps especially strong today? She wasn't even drunk. Weird.

[white_oleander]

"So what's the catch?" Astrid found herself asking, considering her shirt and the course and having been going to this school for way too long to think that was it. "Really?"

Her brain seemed to try to think of the most absurd shenanigan related twist.

"Is Dean Skywalker actually hidden in the course somewhere waiting to release gremlins on us when we least expect it?"

She sighed as she found herself admitting, "I really don't think I can deal with gremlins today."

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[defenderofdesmoines]

Annie had kind of accepted that if she was in town, she was going to be doing this.

And God, this was kind of an awful shirt. She'd totally wear it to sleep in (and Diego would probably think it was great) but this was the last time anyone would see it in the light of day, gross.

And really, as far as activities went, this could have been a whole lot worse. This was just like normal training, but...gross and dirty.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[scarlet_chaos]

"This is actually almost normal this week," Wanda said as she approached Annie.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[imawizard]

"Every week," Harry sighed, donning the shirt he didn't feel super comfortable in.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[flourish_or_perish]

"I don't want to do this!" Faye announced as she took her shirt with a long, tired sigh.

It was both truthful and something she'd normally say, anyway.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[kawaii_complex]

"I don't really like this shirt," Sakaki admitted, as if the decision that she would usually make inside of her head needed to be stated outloud for some reason today, but she still shrugged and pulled it on and started stretching a little so that she would be better prepared to do a good job on the run, even though this sort of thing really did come naturally for her.

Usually.

"I'm only switch shirts instead of just putting one over the other so that I can show off my awesome muscles," Troy noted, unexpectedly saying the quiet part outloud.

There was...a pause. His eyes widened, and he looked up.

"I hope no one heard that."

"I didn't mean to say that!"

"Or that!"

"Damn it! It's like my words are leaking straight out of my brain and out of my mouth which at least sometimes," because, let's be honest, filters weren't always Troy's strong point, "stops them!"

The implications of this were starting to come to a full realization.

"Oh no!"

"Maybe if I just--"

The rest was just muffled, as Troy was trying the brilliant solution of just shoving his shirt into his mouth instead.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[alwaysonguard]

This was by far one of the tamer shenanigans Dwight had gotten roped into- at least for now. And the shirt wasn't too bad by comparison either. Maybe this one wouldn't be so terrible? He pondered this as he changed into the shirt and waited to hear what all they were supposed to do.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[noonedecidesmyfate]

"Oh, that's hardly an appropriate thing to have written on everyone's chests," Belle said as she pulled her shirt on. "It is a little amusing though."

And Go!

The Crawl

[solo_sword]

You'll army crawl under ropes through the mud! There are also little speed bumps you'll have to get over, just to make it more difficult.

Re: The Crawl

[imawizard]

You know what Harry didn't do a lot of normally? Army crawling. Plus he kept sticking his head up too much to see how far he had to go and knocking his head on ropes.

The Wall

[solo_sword]

Climb up a wall while covered in mud. You can help each other! You'll probably need to, since you're covered in mud now.

The Monkey Bars

[solo_sword]

Climb across the monkey bars! You know what's below you? Mud. And if you fall you have to start the moment bars over.

The Dunes

[solo_sword]

You'll have to get over a course of six mud dunes about three feet high. Just enough to be annoying.

The Rings

[solo_sword]

You know how men's gymnastics has the rings? Well, you have to use a line of four of those to swing your way across a pit of ice water.

Yes, ice water. With just so much ice in it.

And the Winner Is!

[solo_sword]

Maybe you're wet, maybe you're just muddy.
