Summer Shenanigans, Wednesday, August 17, 2022

Why did the entire island smell a bit like chocolate pudding? It was probably nothing, right?

"Welcome to our final team-building exercise today!" Anakin yelled through his megaphone. "It's based on a series of obstacle courses called a Tough Mudder, but mud is too easy!"

...that would explain the pudding smell.

"Working in teams of seven, you will race around the island, conquering each obstacle! McGarrett, stop looking so excited about this. Listen for your names! NO POWERS."

Anakin, these are hideous.

Not only were they cats this week, but they were Japanese cats, which, while she felt a little culturally offended by them on a caricature level, Sakaki couldn't help but take it as a sign that clearly, she really did need to go home for the break week because all the shirt did was make her feel a sharp pain of desperate homesickness.

Followed by dread because she felt terrible for what these poor cats on her shirt were likely to have to go through once the activities got started.

Well, now, this was....bright. This was definitely a bright shirt, and Amaya didn't know how to feel about the fact that she thought of at least two people she was half-tempted to throw this shirt at, except that she knew better because both of those people would actually end up wearing it.

Although now she was contemplating possibly waltzing into a certain shop today and making the declaration that new clothes were clearly not needed now that she had...

This.

Looking at the purple ones a different team had received, Steve--for the first time--could maybe see why everyone wouldn't love the shirts.

His, with Bigfoot and a hot dog on it, was completely fine though.

So this was Vi's first Anakin shirt in several weeks and boy was it a shirt.

"Look on the bright side," Steph said, "at least we're not the ones who're blinding everyone else with bad color combo choices."

Just the ones who were going to get blinded by it.

"There is that," Vi agreed, shoulder bumping Steph. She grinned. "Should I lose the sleeves?"

Steph snorted. "Why is that even a question? Unless you wanted to shake things up for the last week."

"Maybe I like you to watch," Vi teased as she started tearing off her sleeves.

"What? No way," Steph said dryly. While absolutely watching, yeah. "Was it ever really about the sleeves being uncomfortable, or...?"

Stark did like the shirts with buttons more than the horrifying t-shirts but the patterns really weren't any better. At all. He sighed a little as he changed. As usual.

Isabela cheerfully pulled on a shirt a size too small.

Yeah no the shirt was a no-go. Cute as it was. Dwight was just gonna leave it folded, along with his regular shirt which he had just taken off as well. He knew what these courses could be like. No point ruining another shirt.

Guillermo looked at his shirt and grinned, "oh man this awesome," he said as he put the shirt on.

He really shouldn't look so happy about that shirt.

At least he wasn't alone in that assessment, as Graham was very proudly wearing his as well.

"Looking good, Guillermo!" he threw out, with a very enthusiastic thumbs up, because look! They matched!

(Yes, Graham, that was how being on the same team worked, thank you).

"Hey you too!" Guillermo grinned, returning the thumbs up and finding himself starting to blush a deep red at that, which was starting to clash a bit with the shirt.

If anything, the blushing only helped to bring out all those bright colors in the shirt even more! Just what everyone needed!

Graham took a moment to preen a little bit in his own shirt, with a little pull on it as if to help it settle into place better, before turning another grin at Guillermo. "You ready to absolutely crush it this week?" he asked, with a little pump of his fist in determination. "Last one of the summer! We've really gotta make it count!"

“Most definitely,” Guillermo said shyly, “I can’t believe how quickly the summer went by,” he grinned.

"What the hell," Jaina said, staring at her shirt.

"You're welcome!" Anakin yelled at her through the megaphone.

"You're deranged!" she called back cheerily.

"I have a couple for the boys and Jag, too," Anakin said.

Mostly because it made him so happy to picture Jag's face upon receiving it. "You can all match!"

"Oh," Belle said at her shirt. There really wasn't much more to say than that.

Rey studied her shirt and felt vaguely insulted on Chewie's behalf.

Wow, that was...that was bright. Gray generally preferred more soothing pastels, but...he was still going to wear it, of course.
