Summer Shenanigans, Wednesday, June 29, 2022

[sith_happened]

The Shed of Holding was back in the center of the park, so clearly that was a terrible sign. Anakin also looked very pleased with himself, so...run.

Ohhhh, too late.

"Today we have more obstacles to overcome!" Anakin said through the microphone and seriously, someone take away his access to British television shows. "Listen for your name and you cannot use powers today for any of the events. You can, however, take suggestions from your teammates!"

Arrive and Mingle

[sith_happened]

Get snacks! Wonder what on Earth Anakin had planned today.

Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[sith_happened]

Happy Canada Day!

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[apocalypsehow]

"No." Oh, Five. It was happening anyway!

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[knife_bender]

Whelp, it could have been worse. He heard about the balloon shirts from last week.

Though it felt kind of weird to be reppin' Canada when he had never been to the damn country.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[firehousehimbo]

"Greatest. Shirt. Ever." This was was for the hall of fame of Shenanigan shirts for sure, in Buck's opinion.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[intheeyeofthebeholding]

Jon gave the beaver shirt a Look.

He sighed.

He really didn't have the energy to argue; he just put it on.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[unusual_sith]

This shirt was actually unobjectionable, apart from the fact that Lana wasn't Canadian. Still, it wasn't as though she had any stake in Earth politics.

She wondered if she could replace "Canadian" with "Sith". Or "Alliance".

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[justalittlerepressed]

Eddie was just getting used to being dragged into this. And at least the shirt wasn't terrible this time...

"Maybe he's being nice," Eddie muttered, looking at his team's shirt.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[stykera]

Stark didn't understand the implications of his shirt so he just shrugged and changed into it quickly. Someone should absolutely explain it to him.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[somethingwithturquoise]

"I feel like this has got to be some kind of cultural appropriation," said Summer, not out of any real concern for offending their neighbors to the north, but mostly just because she felt she had to? She clearly didn't look too bothered by it as she tugged the shirt on over her tank top.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[pocketpretzels]

Watts was only subjecting himself to this nonsense because he had the feeling Steven had liked something about the way he’d looked in modern clothing, so why not try and repeat the experiment.

Only of course he had to end up with this particular shirt, whose slang meaning he was well aware of thank you despite it being somewhat anachronistic for him to do so, his whole canon is anachronistic*

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[heroic_jawline]

"UM," Steve said, staring pointedly at his shirt. "This is not acceptable."

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[outofthequiver]

If Libby was looking a little uncertain and uncomfortable this week, it had nothing to do with her shirt, which was pretty disappointingly not terrible.

It was because she'd decided to wear the Jesus socks today.

And she was definitely having second thoughts about wearing the Jesus socks, even after the very long and arduous theological debate she'd already had with herself about them.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[drumsticksandd20s]

"Get out, I fucking love this," Steph exclaimed, immediately taking her phone out so she could get a picture of the shirt and send it to Ryan.

Little bittersweet, since she couldn't help thinking of that whole incident where Gabe had accidentally hit a Canada goose with his car and Ryan had convinced him that the Mounties would be after him for it, but still.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[noonedecidesmyfate]

"Oh, that's cute," Belle said as she looked at her shirt. She meant the animal.

She did not know the implications, no.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[weetuskenraider]

Had Tahiri come to visit just for this? Yes, actually; it was really nice to have a break, however brief, for something purely silly.

It was also nice to see that Master Skywalker was still his very, very weird self, and she was chuckling about her shirt as she pulled it on.

The Obstacles!

[sith_happened]

They are...certainly something.

Obstacle One!

[sith_happened]

Paint a picture of an alot while riding on an alot! The first member of each team (Sakaki, Steve R, Jon, and Buck) must ride these alots around the park while painting a picture of an alot. The picture that most resembles an alot wins! You made mod what alot you are riding.

...It only gets weirder from here, gang.

The second team members (Steph, Jo, Belle, Guillermo) have two minutes to successfully conceal a pineapple on their person. The Shed of Holding has whatever moddy thing you might need to accomplish this!

Obstacle Three!

[sith_happened]

Oh, hooray, a team task! There are four beach balls on one side of the pond and a finish line marked on the other. Your job is to work together (Alara & Steve M, Diego & Cara, Stark & Tahiri, Will & Five)--and using only water--move those beach balls around to the finish line. You may use the Shed of Holding to find whatever moddable thing would help you out!

Obstacle Four!

[sith_happened]

Find the lime! There are 30 socks hanging on a clothesline, each filled with something round-ish. Your (Goose, Lana, Clare, and Libby) job is to find the lime without taking the socks off of the line! You may sniff the socks, lick the socks, hit the socks, listen to the socks, whatever. The other 29 items are completely moddable.

Obstacle Five!

[sith_happened]

Make the most dramatic entrance! You (Eddie, Graham, Watts & Summer) are given no further instructions BUT the Shed of Holding, your teammates, and anything you own or can wheedle into borrowing on the island are open to you!

Talk to Anakin

[sith_happened]

You're not even gross this week! Just...weirded out, probably.

Re: Talk to Anakin

[stykera]

"I haven't decided how wet he'll be from the pond if you need a hug this week or not."

[sith_happened]

The delightful Stark will be taking over Shenanigans next week!
