Summer Shenanigans, Wednesday, May 15, 2024

Good morning, everyone! It's time for another summer of Anakin Skywalker Pretends This Teaches Team Building But Mostly Amuses Himself!

Or "Shenanigans."

The bleachers for viewing were set up in the park, close to the pond and near the Belthazor Commemorative Divot. Food vendors, remembering how this worked, had arrived with hot dogs, popcorn, and rum for the squirrels. And coffee. Just...so much coffee. Huge flatscreens were set up facing the bleachers, which the hint that today's event would not just stay inside the park, and the cameras were trained at...well, ankle height or the sky for now because squirrels and rum.

Anakin and his bullhorn were standing behind a folding table stacked high with brightly patterned shirts, and people who had been here before knew that just because the shirts were free, it never, ever meant you wanted to wear them.

"GOOD MORNING!" he boomed through the completely unnecessary bullhorn when enough people were gathered. "Welcome to another summer of team building activities!"

He might be waiting for a while if he was expecting cheers, just saying.

"Today, as has become tradition, we shall conduct a relay race around the island to acquaint you newcomers with where various stores and landmarks are!" he said. "Please listen as your name is called and then come up for your team-building clothing."

AKA: bizarre shirts.

"You will be in four teams of seven players each. You may not use your powers, should you have any, today."

"You made it!" Look, Jane was just relieved to have some normal weirdness after yesterday.

"Of course I did," Dean said preening a bit in his new shirt. He leaned over to give Jane a quick kiss on the cheek. "Ready to kick some butt?"

Yes. Dean was weirdly fired up for this.

"Oh, you're one of those competitive ones." If he'd been a Steve, he'd fit right in.

Pfft. Steves. No way Dean could be a Steve.

"Normally not? But I think the shirt changed my mind," Dean mused. "Or maybe it's because I need to get out more. I haven't gone out on a hunt since we went to Georgia."

"I wish that was the case for me," Jane admitted. "New semester, right?"

Also her ex. Exes. Plural.

"Technically just the first semester to me. So I wouldn't know any better," Dean said with a shrug. He took a moment just studying her. "Everything ok? Something happen at Caritas?"

It was pretty clear he was just checking in on her well-being.

"Yes? Yes, I'm fine." Confirming it to herself, it seemed! "Just a lot of mixed up things from home. Kind of."

Man was Marvel a real clusterfuck.

Well, that's what happens when you mix 616 and MCU in the same room.

"All right. Well, if you want to talk about it-"

Dean paused. "Okay, I'll admit I'm a terrible listener but I'll agree with everything you'd want to vent about and then take you to a shooting range. And give you alcohol."

Because those things totally go together safely.

"I would not turn down a drink," Jane replied. "I'll be in your class tomorrow."

And then have her own. Enjoy that one, folks.

"I saw that," Dean said with a smile. "And rest assured when I'm behind the bar you'll always drink for free."

Hopefully her Asgardian constitution will get her through her class without too much of an incident.

"So, I'll count that as buying me one." Such a sweet group date! Nothing weird would happen at all.

"Or three or four," Dean joked. "It is a drinking class after all."
