Summer Shenanigans, Wednesday, June 8, 2022

[sith_happened]

There was a definite smell of grease in the air along the beach that should worry anyone who'd every experienced one of Anakin's Wednesdays before, and that was only if they didn't notice the enormous, greased-up pole resting between two wooden scaffolds about ten feet above the water.

Or the greased-up pigs in a pen.

Or the greased-up flag pole.

Anakin liked a theme, that's what we're saying here.

"Today is all about adaptation!" Anakin yelled into the bullhorn when everyone had arrived. "Your teams have to attempt--individually--get get across the pole in the water and then up the flag pole. Your times, should anyone complete these tasks--will be added together, along with your efforts in the pairs greased pig collecting competition. Fastest team wins."

Who took Anakin to a county fair. Really.

"Listen for your names! There will be five teams of six and you may not use any special powers to assist yourself or your teammates. This is all physical prowess and mental stamina."

Arrive and Mingle

[sith_happened]

Suddenly greasy foods on sticks aren't seeming that appealing, huh?

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[furrybluefreak]

Kurt had had enough of lounging in the dorm room and so had decided to check out shenanigans that day. He found a seat, and breathed a small sigh of relief when his name was not called. You never knew how these shenanigan things could go after all.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[somethingwithturquoise]

All that grease was definitely making Summer feel glad her name hadn't been called and so she can just sit back with some snacks, enjoy the snow, and take her usual note of who got free shots at the bar tonight.

Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[sith_happened]

Get your t-shirts, plan your strategies, such as they are.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[giveittoyoursister]

This week's shirt was cute enough that Vi almost felt bad about tearing the sleeves off. Almost.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[drumsticksandd20s]

"There you go again, enemy to sleeves everywhere," Steph said, sighing and yet not sounding even remotely like she disapproved.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[grenadesandohana]

McGarrett loved his new t-shirt. It was so much better than last week's with the cleavage.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[betterthanaplan]

Duke barked a laugh.

"I am so wearing this on my next date with Luce."

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[drumsticksandd20s]

"Wait, Hawt Dawg Man?" Steph was maybe kind of amused until she got a better look at the shirt. "Oh. Eh, close enough."

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[good_for_six]

Isabela was delighted with her new shirt, thank you.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[brat_inslayage]

Kennedy'd had some time to kill on a portal layover between her world and Emma's, so stopping in for a visit had seemed like a good idea. Getting roped in to do this was just a total bonus, and she was absolutely laughing her ass off at the shirt.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[outofthequiver]

Libby was turning over and inspecting her shirt with a look of confusion before putting it on, thinking she must be missing something, because this didn't seem all that bad? It honestly looked like a lot of shirts she saw people wearing at the Wal-Mart or the pancake house on the rare occasions the Hazletts ventured out into the world...

She supposed it would be a little more odd on other people, though.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[doctorgingerspice]

“I’m not sure if we should be offended or relieved we didn’t end up with a horrible pun-related shirt,” Will confided.

The pink did clash terribly with his hair, though, so there was that?

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[stykera]

Stark was fine with this week's shirt, at least, and changed into quickly.

He was less fine with the activities planned for the day. This wasn't going to end well.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[napking]

Gray gasped with delight. "I love this shirt!" he declared. "Wait...do I have to get it all greasy? Can I do this shirtless?" And save his hot wiener shirt for later wear?

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[noonedecidesmyfate]

The shirt was perfectly acceptable, Belle thought. She had serious misgivings about everything else involved. She wasn't used to anything remotely resembling this sort of behavior!

So Much Grease.

[sith_happened]

But not in a "Grease is the word" way.

Pole Across the Water!

[sith_happened]

All of these become easier as the grease falls off, so the first folks to go have about zero chance to make it across. It gets sliiiightly easier after about half the group has gone over. Take your shoes off, hope for the best, and run!

[RNG says the order of going across the pole is:
1. Annie
2. Libby
3. Travis
4. Aphra
5. Will
6. Alexis
7. Liz
8. Kennedy
9. Rey
10. Wanda
11. Gray
12. Stark
13. Miguel
14. Jo
15. Lana
16. Graham
17. Sakaki
18. Buck
19. Isabela
20. Steve R
21. Belle
22. Steve M
23. Goose
24. Hannibal
25. Scott
26. Jon
27. Duke
28. Vi
29. Beaker
30. Steph

for running across. Mod your result! No superpowers!]

Up the Flagpole!

[sith_happened]

Just like going across, going up gets easier the more people have attempted before you. This one requires arms strength as well as balance, so noodle arms (sorry, Beaker) will have difficulty! The order of attempting to get up the pole goes:

1. Steph
2. Libby
3. Jon
4. Vi
5. Scott
6. Steve M
7. Sakaki
8. Wanda
9. Will
10. Rey
11. Duke
12. Kennedy
13. Lana
14. Gray
15. Jo
16. Alexis
17. Steve R
18. Liz
19. Belle
20. Annie
21. Travis
22. Buck
23. Goose
24. Hannibal
25. Miguel
26. Aphra
27. Beaker
28. Stark
29. Graham
30. Isabela

[OOC: Mod your results of how far you get up the pole! No superpowers and no randomly finding gloves in your pockets, please.]

Catch a Pig!

[sith_happened]

Anakin had gotten enough pigs for each team to have their own to chase in the large pen.

So...this should be interesting.

Everyone in the Water!

[sith_happened]

Because you're all greasy and covered in pig. You're welcome!

Re: Everyone in the Water!

[drumsticksandd20s]

You know what, Steph was just gonna... it wasn't even that much to do with the grease or anything but just... the water was cold, okay? So don't mind her jumping right back in. No reason.

Talk to Anakin!

[sith_happened]

Who isn't the least bit sorry.

Re: Talk to Anakin!

[stykera]

Stark was still wet and Stark was still rather greasy and Stark had said during the pig absurdity that maybe Anakin needed hugs now.

Stark was absolutely going in for a wet, greasy hug, Anakin. Sorry not sorry for that surprise attack.

OOC

[sith_happened]

Now to turn on Obi-Wan. #priorities
