"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!"

Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[sith_happened]

Meet your teammates!

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

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[grenadesandohana]

"They're pretty sweet, huh?" Steve said, grinning back. His had fishing lures on it!

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[firehousehimbo]

"It's so awesome." Buck had wasted no time in getting his on and he thought he looked awesome. "I don't know what people are groaning about, last week's shirt was awesome too."

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[doctorgingerspice]

"At least yours isn't covered in fish with their mouths all gaping open," Will griped as he finished pulling his own monstrosity on.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[firehousehimbo]

"I think you're making it work," Buck assured him. "And free clothes, man. That's never a bad thing."

You would be thankful for those hideous shirts next time the laundry goes on strike.

[giveittoyoursister]

Seriously? Again?

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

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[craic_killer]

Clare waved at her like a spaz. "Hullo!"

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[giveittoyoursister]

"Hey," Vi said, with a smaller, much more subdued, but still friendly wave back.

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!

[doctorgingerspice]

"Oh, that doesn't stop him," Will said with a nod in Anakin's direction. "Apparently. As I found out myself last week."

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[justalittlerepressed]

"But how did he get our names?" Eddie, don't question the Jedi.

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!

[giveittoyoursister]

"I'm sure you can pull it off," Vi said, her eyes very firmly fixed above Steph's shoulders, thank you.

She almost managed it with a straight face.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[drumsticksandd20s]

"No, you're thinking of the sleeves on yours," Steph retorted immediately. "But this thing is coming off the second we're done with, uh... all of this."

Look, it wasn't her fault all her pants were either skinny jeans or really short shorts, okay?

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."
