Summer Shenanigans, Wednesday, July 13, 2022

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.

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!

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.

"Have you worked with chopsticks before?" Steve asked.

"We've tried them a few times on nights we do stir-fry," Libby admitted, a little sheepishly, at what the Hazlett family considered to be a 'multi-cultural experience,' while trying again with another marshmallow, "but that didn't last very long when we were still finding bits of rice in the carpet almost weeks after the last time."

And she glanced over to her teammate to see how he might be faring.

"Do you?"

Steve could probably kill a guy ten ways with some chopsticks but he was sure that's not what this kid was asking. "I grew up in Hawai'i," he said instead, neatly picking up the graham cracker and moving it, then grabbing another and another, assembly line style. "I ate a lot of Asian food. If you move your fingers lower on the sticks, they're easier to control."

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.

"I can cheat with telekinesis," Jaina said. "We've got this."

Who cared if you weren't practiced at chopsticks when you had the Force!

"I saw nothing," Gray assured her. "You were totally using those chopsticks the entire time."

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.

Kurt had used chopsticks before but it had been a while so he was a bit rusty himself.

"Hold them like this" he said holding them out so Goose could see. "Though, Dean Skywalker didn't say anything about us having to use the the 'correct' way... so maybe we can get creative and figure out an easier way to use them to stack this?"

Goose tried to imitate how Kurt was holding them and tried to test them out but he wasn’t really having much luck, “maybe finding a different way to use them would be best,” he admitted.

"We could maybe try and hold them like knitting needles?" Kurt offered as he held one in each hand. "Could try and stab or hold the piece between them like this..." he said as he tried to pick a piece up. "oops!" he said as it slipped out. "Hummmmm... this is gonna be harder than I thought!"

Goose looked at his own chopsticks as he attempted to try and piece a marshmallow with just one of them and then sent it and the single chopstick flying to the ground.

“Oops,” he blinked.

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?

"I've never used these before," Belle said uncertainly. "But I'll try."

The marshmallows looked simple enough to move with the sticks. The other ingredients seemed more complicated.

"It's...here." Jon showed her how to hold them. "Like this." He might not be able to move them very well, but he did know how.

"Though it might be easier to just use two hands." Nothing said they had to use them correctly, did it?
