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."

Don't worry, it'd happen. Because nothing going go perfectly right here!

"You'll do great." So many popped balloons. So many.

Maybe she was a secret balloon animal prodigy! (She was not.) "And I'm sure you will do very well as well!" Lydia said, very optimistically.

"Yeah," Eddie said, totally latching onto that like it was obvious. "I've dealt either tanks like this before."

Ignore how he didn't turn it off between balloons. Which meant some things might get hilariously high pitched.

It took Lydia a few tries to figure out how to tie the balloon off before it deflated, and when she finally succeeded she told Eddie, "I think I'm finally getting somewhere with this!" in a voice like unto a cartoon chipmunk.
