Summer Shenanigans, Wednesday, July 13, 2022

[sith_happened]

Anakin was back today, so your Wednesdays were about to get a lot less fun and little more insane. And your shirts will be terrifying again.

Stark, we'll miss you.

"Today, inspired by a conversation with Stark and a collaboration with local food vendors, we will do food-based games!" Anakin yelled through his megaphone. "Listen for your names!"

Yes, one of the shirts was a repeat. Anakin had a lot of Taco Cat. He also, strangely, had a lot of a shirts with a former Fandom mayor's face on it. He didn't ask questions, he just passed out the polyblend.

Comments

Arrive and Mingle!

[sith_happened]

Observe the park and its multiple stations--though not the Shed of Holding. Worry about what Anakin has cooked up--Ha!--for you all today.

Or eat snacks and don't worry. It didn't matter either way.

Re: Arrive and Mingle!

[somethingwithturquoise]

Food related shenanigans and Summer lucked out by getting to just spectate instead of actually participating this week?

Ohhh, maybe her bad week was starting to look up already!

...of course, even just thinking that, she realized she was probably dooming herself to one hell of a bad Friday, or something.

Re: Arrive and Mingle!

[flamesburned]

Liz knew she was probably taking a risk coming by the park but she was trying to be better about getting out and about and she decided to come by and watch the Shenanigans this week and she was definitely relieved when her name wasn't called.

Re: Arrive and Mingle!

[solo_sword]

Jaina had gone home, had a great night celebrating the twins' birthday, and then today she'd gotten messages so urgent about her portal scheduled for today that she thought something really bad was happening.

Nope. Portalocity kriffed up. Just shenanigans.

Jaina was thrilled.

Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[sith_happened]

Enjoy your shirts! Or not!

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[kawaii_complex]

The taco cats would always get Sakaki on several levels, unfortunately. On the one hand, she wanted to weep for the cuteness. On the other hand, she wanted to weep in an entirely different way because it looked almost like they were screaming out in pain for their inevitable consumption.

Some of these shirts were just a lot for her, okay?

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[drumsticksandd20s]

Steph spent a couple of minutes trying to figure out if half the cheeseburgers on her team's shirt had a fried egg on them before actually putting the shirt on.

She kind of really missed the burgers at the Black Lantern right about now, because right now she seriously wanted a good burger.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[giveittoyoursister]

"Is he running out of shirts?" Vi asked as she held up a kind of familiar shirt. "I think he's running out of shirts."

Burgers were possibly going to be a sensitive subject depending how that thread turned out.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[stykera]

"This is not my fault," Stark grumbled as he put on his shirt. "At least the shirt isn't too terrible."

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[napking]

Gray wished he could pass this shirt on to his brother. Ray would appreciate it way more than him. Unfortunately it wasn't in a size 4X or so, so...looked like he was stuck with it.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[solo_sword]

"This is a sickness," Jaina said, donning her cheeseburger shirt.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[thatwaslucky]

"It's not that bad," Rey said, putting on her own cheeseburger shirt.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[noonedecidesmyfate]

"Oh, I liked last week's shirts more," Belle said, giving her odd sushi shirt a slightly disappointed look.

COMPETE

[sith_happened]

Game #1: Wheelbarrow Race Brought to You by Moobyburger

[sith_happened]

You and your partner (Clare & Jo; Rosa & Guillermo; Graham & Stark; Vi & Sakaki) will join up for a wheelbarrow race across the field. One team member is holding the other the team member by the ankles or calves while the other is in a handstand position. As you move along the race, the bottom member of the wheelbarrow must eat eight Moobyburgers placed in a line on the ground for them.

Mmm, hygienic.

Re: Game #1: Wheelbarrow Race Brought to You by Moobyburger

[died8yearsago]

Rosa took a moment to consider she'd wound up in another partnered activity, and that she wasn't even directly competing with Blackstone for it this time, and sighed as she told herself she had got to stop letting that woman talk her into this.

(Even if actually, yes, it had definitely been Rosa's idea in the first place).

She then looked at her partner for a moment and just simply stated, "Well you're clearly the wheelbarrow."

Rosa.

Re: Game #1: Wheelbarrow Race Brought to You by Moobyburger

[stykera]

Stark sighed. "I've eaten worse things than hamburgers off of the ground..."

But if Graham wanted to be the wheelbarrow he wouldn't object.

Re: Game #1: Wheelbarrow Race Brought to You by Moobyburger

[onlyajones]

One of these weeks Jo was going to have to start wearing practical clothes to these and not a really nice dress like the one she was wearing today, she wrinkled her nose a little at the idea of eating food off the ground, "this hardly seems proper," she said, they definitely would never have done this at Malory Towers.

Game #2: Pie Eating Contest Brought to You by JGOB

[sith_happened]

The next team members (Steve R, Lana, Alara, & Dwight) must each eat a lemon meringue mini-pie as fast as they can without using their hands.

Face pie, everyone. Eat it with your face.

Talk to Anakin!

[sith_happened]

Nothing too gross today! Aren't you happy?

Re: Talk to Anakin!

[stykera]

"Should I be worried for next week?" Stark asked warily. He hadn't ended up with a faceful of pie or burgers or pasta and that just seemed so unlikely when Anakin was running things like this.

OOC

[sith_happened]

Blerg, that took forever today.

Re: OOC

[stykera]

I would like submit for the record that this is not my fault or Stark's.

Except it is.
