Summer Shenanigans, Wednesday, May 18, 2022

[sith_happened]

"Welcome back to another week of team-building!" Anakin yelled through his megaphone. "Today you will be in four teams of seven and you will be fishing with your toes for valuable prizes!"

They weren't that valuable, folks.

He gestured at the four inflatable pools located around the park with folding chairs circling them. "Working together, you have to pull 21 smallish objects from the water--" and be grateful that it's just water, "--using only your toes. And no powers. The fastest team to accomplish this wins. Listen for your name, come get your shirt and take off your shoes!"

Arrive and Mingle

[sith_happened]

Get snacks from the vendors! Find a good spot to watch everyone from the bleachers! Hope Anakin doesn't call your name!

Awwww! This was it! This was the thing! The specific summer shenanigan that would forever be Summer's favorite because it was back when she herself was standing in one of those pools next to Barry and thought to herself I have got to get to know that jawline.

So of course she was taking a million pictures and sending them to him with an obnoxious amount of heart emoji, and she almost thought about teasing him about getting him one of those shirts, but that man would legit actually wear that shit out in public, and no.

And, since her name wasn't called, she just sat back to enjoy and take note of who had earned free shots and maybe try to spot some other future blossoming romances all thanks to the fish catching pools.

Rosa was giving herself a day off from school work and wandered up, wondering what was going on.

"Awww, it's like a field day."

She was going to regret all her choices today.

Since their combined efforts had garnered success last week, Graham and Triumph were back at it again, the former riding the latter into the now expected spectacle with excitement and anticipation. What was in store for them this time? They were clearly thrilled to find out!

Well, Graham was. With Triumph, it was a little harder to tell.

Lana was rather pleased not to be taking part this week, if only because of the shirts.

She was definitely going to get a milkshake and hang out and watch, though. Maybe cheer someone on if she could pick who.

Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[sith_happened]

Meet your teammates!

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[firehousehimbo]

"This shirt is even cooler than last time!" He was gonna wear it everywhere.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[giveittoyoursister]

Seriously? Again?

Vi needed to just not show up to the park on Wednesdays.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[justalittlerepressed]

"I didn't sign up for anything," Eddie said like it would stop anything. He was still new and would probably think it was Buck signing him up.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[kawaii_complex]

Okay, this shirt might actually make Sakaki cry due to ugliness this time, but, thankfully, she was less prone to emotional outbursts this week.

She was mostly thinking it was a shame it definitely would not fit Sidon because she was pretty sure he'd love it, and she wondered if he'd be offended if she used it to line some cages after this.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[thatwaslucky]

Rey had been feeling better by the time she got to the park. And then there was an ugly Christmas sweater and she had to fish with her feet.

"Why."

Oh yeah, she was complaining about this one!

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[jedigrammarians]

"What? No!"

Clearly there had been some terrible mistake, and there wasn't even an awesome robot fish to fight over.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[special_rabbit]

"Oh wow," said Amaya, holding out her shirt for a better inspection, "even I know this is bad."

Was she still yanking it on and wearing it with pride?

Absolutely.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[existencemisspent]

Eliot held up the shirt.

"No."

You'd think he'd know better.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[stykera]

"So many fish," Stark said, sighing a little as he put his shirt on. "But not so bad as some of the shirts."

That wasn't a challenge, Anakin.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[drumsticksandd20s]

Look, last week's shirt had had cats and extreme amounts of ridiculousness going for it. This week? Steph was just holding up the shirt and staring at it.

"Okay, this is... this is actually going to pain me."

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[mother_love]

Billy blinked, confused. Having missed last weeks escapades on account of being a cat he was totally clueless as to why he heard his name called out. And then the shirts? Yeah no... that shirt was definitely a no-go for Billy.

"Where does he find these?" he muttered as he held the shirt up as far away from himself as he could, looking like he was afraid it would never come off if he did try and put it on.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[died8yearsago]

Rosa definitely hated this shirt, but she'd worn worse before and she could actually somehow see it being helpful one day (don't ask how), so...it was what it was. All she knew was she was here to bear Blackstone, and she'd suffer through all the ugly shirts in the world if it meant that woman's ultimate summer shenanigans defeat.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[outofthequiver]

Oh. This shirt was definitely going to Zo, too, right along with the other one, and now Libby was wondering if these things were going to wind up supplying her friend with a whole mess of terrible shirts that she would enjoy wearing way too much.

And she'd know about it, too, as soon as Libby managed to figure out how to do a good selfie angle once she had the shirt on.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[napking]

"Anybody wanna trade this shirt for one of those with a sloth riding a llama from last week?" Gray asked hopefully. "Anybody at all? I need it because of reasons."

Toe Fishing!

[sith_happened]

There are 21 different, moddable, objects in each pool of various sizes and textures--but it definitely includes two live, actual goldfish in each pool. There are coins, rocks, weirdly squishy things, etc., etc. Everyone can grab three!

And the RNG says the order goes:
1. River Wranglers
2. Rodfathers
3. Fishing Lures
4. Fish More, Worry Less

Fish More, Worry Less

[sith_happened]

Sit around on folding chairs! Chat and work together to pick up weird things with your toes!

River Wranglers

Talk to Anakin

[sith_happened]

Would wasn't lifting live goldfish with his toes, thanks.
