Summer Shenanigans, Wednesday, August 10, 2022

[sith_happened]

Today there was a ring of chairs in the middle of the park, so that was fine. Musical chairs was a very normal game to play!

Of course, this was Anakin...

"Today we're playing Musical Shares!" Anakin announced through his completely superfluous megaphone. "It will be one giant team building exercise!"

That seemed ominous. "Come get your shirts!"

Oh, they were Hawaiian. And had Anakin's face on them.

That...that was a choice.

Anakin read out his names for the day:
Jon
Goose
Will
Lana
Summer
Stark
Steve M
Beaker
Libby
Sakaki
Jo
Belle

Re: Round Five!

Stark looked at the two of them and just shrugged helplessly.

"...where will I fit?"

Re: Round Five!

[somethingwithturquoise]

"Where will all of us fit?" said Summer, trying very hard not to think about any more fitting with Stark and already knowing that they were doomed to wind up that way and almost resigning herself to that fate until something else came up.

"Like, do the rules specify sitting? Could we all just, like, stand on the chair?"

Just trying to throw out more unique approaches here! That didn't involve laps.

Re: Round Five!

[stykera]

Summer had gotten far too good of a look at Stark's lap area recently so it was probably best not to think too much on that. Probably.

"I think we'd fall." And then land on each other and that wasn't better.

"It might be best, though," Jon admitted reluctantly. Look, he had already fallen. He was resigned to this.

Re: Round Five!

[grenadesandohana]

"So...two sitting, two standing on top of them and two on their shoulders?"

No. Steven, no.

Re: Round Five!

[intheeyeofthebeholding]

"Er..."

Jon wasn't sure which of those options was the worst. There were so many possibilities!

"Maybe two sitting, one sitting between them with one leg over each, one sitting on each of the other legs, and one laying on top of everyone else?" At least that spread the weight out a bit.

Re: Round Five!

[somethingwithturquoise]

Summer took a moment to sort through all that and put the pieces into place like a mental puzzle, and nodded. "That...actually might work?" she offered. "Like a sitting cheerleader pyramid, or something, so the bigger, heavier ones on the bottom, and we work our way up to the lightest?"

Re: Round Five!

[stykera]

"Steve ought to go on the bottom," Stark said. "And...me?" Jon would get squashed, obviously.

This was not an attempt to have Summer back on his lap! But if it worked out that way, well. Then it was Anakin's fault, wasn't it?
