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

"Welcome to our 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! Since everyone enjoyed this so much last year--" debatable, "--we are doing it again!"

...that would explain the pudding smell.

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

"It could be worse," Vi said, her own neon guitars now sans sleeve. Yes, she was looking at the one with the shellfish.

"Yours is nicer than mine," Steph informed her. "But mine is seasonal, I guess? Just not for this season."

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[giveittoyoursister]

"I mean, I don't think any of them will be very nice by the time we're done," Vi said dryly.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[drumsticksandd20s]

"Oh, I figured we'd just be getting rid of them afterward, yeah," Steph replied in her most innocent tone.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[giveittoyoursister]

Vi grinned in an equally innocent way. "Oh, did you now?"

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[drumsticksandd20s]

"They're going to end up getting super gross, and all we're going to want to do is get rid of them," Steph replied, looking very, very serious about it.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[giveittoyoursister]

"Exactly," Vi nodded. "But we can't dump them just anywhere. That'd be bad."

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[drumsticksandd20s]

"Can't go littering," agreed Steph. "I think I might lose my Pacific Northwest cred if I don't at least try to dispose of them responsibly."

She raised an eyebrow at Vi.

"Got any ideas?"

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[giveittoyoursister]

Vi pretended to think about it, very seriously indeed. "I mean, I'm pretty sure there's somewhere we can toss them at your place."

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[drumsticksandd20s]

"Yeah, there are a couple of places they can end up there," Steph replied just as seriously. She reached out to pat Vi's bicep. "But let's not get too far ahead of ourselves. First we have to end up covered in chocolate pudding."

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[giveittoyoursister]

Vi flexed her arm, just because. "But do we really have to?"

Yes, because you'd both already tagged into threads.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[drumsticksandd20s]

"Let's be honest," Steph said, laughing as she kept her hand on Vi's arm. "It's part of the appeal by now."

Also they'd already tagged into threads.
