[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.

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.

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.

“Um…okay,” Guillermo half squeaked out, “I mean I can do that - I really like eating, I mean I’ve never done anything like this before but I can eat … really quickly as well,” he babbled, pushing his glasses up from where they had slid off his nose as he nose as he tried to not to feel so nervous.

Sorry 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

[pun_king]

"They do look like pretty good hamburgers," said Graham, who had absolutely been eying the hamburgers in question with something that looked suspiciously like hunger, and so it came out a little wistfully. He was kind of hoping to be the wheelbarrow in this one, but if Stark wanted to do the honors, he'd definitely feel bad about taking it from him!

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.

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

[craic_killer]

"Well, no, but we aren't picking up fish with our toes, either," Clare said.

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

[giveittoyoursister]

Vi was definitely giving Anakin the greasy eye for this one. Just because she had an iron stomach didn't mean she liked the idea of ground burgers.

"You have a preference here?" she asked Sakaki.

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

[kawaii_complex]

And Sakaki just felt kind of....torn.

"Not...really?" she admitted, although the question at the end definitely seemed to suggest otherwise. She did consider, though, that this was a team effort, and she didn't want to disappoint her teammates.

"I'm not sure," she admitted a moment later, "I could eat that many burgers, though..."

And not even because they were on the ground, although that didn't help!

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.

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

[canlendanear]

Alara ended up having a great level of difficulty trying to eat her pie without her hands and she somehow sent bits of pie flying everywhere and so was having trouble trying to eat them.

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

[heroic_jawline]

Sorry, gang, Cheeseburger Cheeseburger had an endlessly hungry super-soldier from the Great Depression eating pie. You never really had a shot.

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

[alwaysonguard]

Have you seen Dwight? Pie eating contests were made for him! The only real difficulty was that the pie was small and didn't have a lot of weight to keep it from sliding around on the table, but Dwight still managed to get it gone in pretty good time!

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

[unusual_sith]

Had Anakin outright said no powers today? No, he had not.

If there was one thing Lana was good at after decades in Sith bureaucracy, it was rules-lawyering. She was absolutely picking up that pie with the Force and turning it around as she ate it as quickly as possible.

Game #3: Team Spaghetti Eating Brought to You by Cafe Fina

[sith_happened]

Have you seen Lady and the Tramp Those Two Dogs In Love But Not Creepy? You're going to be pair eating giant plates of spaghetti! And two meatballs. This should go great! Steph & Rey, Aphra & Will, Amaya & Beaker, and Miguel & Hannibal, you're up!

Re: Game #3: Team Spaghetti Eating Brought to You by Cafe Fina

[special_rabbit]

Well. It was a good thing plans were in place get Amaya some new clothes, since she was pretty sure there was no way the ones she was currently wearing were definitely not going to survive having to share a plate of spaghetti with Beaker.

Which was a shame, she did actually kind of like this shirt.

And, weirdly enough, she sort of felt like if she was going to end up having to share a plate of spaghetti with anyone, she was glad it was Beaker. If anything, it would at least be interesting.

Re: Game #3: Team Spaghetti Eating Brought to You by Cafe Fina

[meepmeepmeep]

"Meep meep meep meep," Beaker said, trying to be alluring.

It was Beaker, so...no.

Re: Game #3: Team Spaghetti Eating Brought to You by Cafe Fina

[drumsticksandd20s]

Steph huffed a laugh as she looked at the plate. "And the mystery of my dinner is solved. Okay."

Re: Game #3: Team Spaghetti Eating Brought to You by Cafe Fina

[doctorgingerspice]

Will looked down at the giant plate of spaghetti. "At least I'm not vegetarian," he said.

Wait. Was that a good thing? If he claimed to be vegetarian, could he get out of having to do this?

Game #4: Chopstick S'mores Brought to You by Ching Tai

[sith_happened]

In front of the final pair is everything you need to make s'mores: graham crackers, chocolate, marshmallows...and chopsticks. The team (Jaina & Gray; Libby & Steve M., Bell & Jon; Kurt & Goose) to make the greatest number of s'mores using only their chopsticks to stack everything together wins!

Re: Game #4: Chopstick S'mores Brought to You by Ching Tai

[outofthequiver]

Libby was pretty excited once she heard what her activity was going to be, because s'mores were great and she'd dealt with a lot of sticky s'more situations with all the Littles before, so she figured this was going to be a cinch.

"Whoops."

Watching as her very first marshmallow took a tumble off the piece of chocolate as she tried to roll it onto it with her chopsticks and wound up on the ground, though, she realized she may have been a little overly optimistic about her s'more skills.

Re: Game #4: Chopstick S'mores Brought to You by Ching Tai

[napking]

Oh, chopsticks. Gray had this in the bag, as long as a sleepy spell didn't hit while he was in the middle of it.

"Thank you, century in Japan," he muttered as he painstakingly placed a marshmallow on top of a chocolate square, then adjusted its position minutely before moving on to a graham cracker. They were a little tricky to pick up with the chopsticks, but he was getting the hang of it.

Re: Game #4: Chopstick S'mores Brought to You by Ching Tai

[notagoose]

Goose had never used chopsticks before in his life and he looked really confused to what he was supposed to do them.

"How do these work?"

It was going to take a while.

Re: Game #4: Chopstick S'mores Brought to You by Ching Tai

[intheeyeofthebeholding]

Well. Jon could use his off hand, or he could use the one with burns and nerve damage.

Sigh.

He was doing his best, okay?
