[sith_happened]

Well, when you have children who went down a Nickelodeon nostalgia rabbit hole, a school credit card, and not much oversight, you get what you're walking into now, everyone:

A Double Dare-style obstacle course, complete with green slime everywhere. Weren't you excited? It doesn't matter. Anakin's excited enough for all of you. He now owned a One-Ton Human Hamster Wheel. "Today's game will be a timed event!" Anakin said. "You will be divided into five groups of four. You must each complete two obstacles on this course. Fastest team wins. You may not use your powers to find the hidden flags. Listen for your names!''

Team Totally Radical
Raiden
Vi
Steve M
Stewart

Team Rainbows
Eleanor
Gale
Don
Gladio

Team Lisa Frank
Belle
Steve R
Lana
Arden

Team Cosby Sweaters
Miguel

"The least Skywalker could have done was provide buckets of water for afterwards," Liliana sniffed.

She was still planning on helping Ignis shower afterwards, but he was definitely going to have to sluice off first.

"Professor Skywalker?" Nell said. "Maybe you haven't met him before, but that would be a no."

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[deathsmajesty]

Liliana heaved a huge sigh. "I would truly like to interrogate his pedagogy," she muttered.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[mylandmyrules]

Nell was terribly tempted to say she hadn't understood a word of that, but she was pretty sure Liliana wouldn't believe her. "I think that would only end in tears. Yours. Or attempted murder. His."

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[deathsmajesty]

"You're half-right, little woods witch," Liliana said absently as the nonsense began and called the majority of her focus. "I haven't cried in two hundred years."

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[mylandmyrules]

"You haven't tried to argue with Professor Skywalker," Nell teased.

And winced as Gladio tried to squeeze himself through the relatively small wringer. "That's gotta hurt."

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[deathsmajesty]

Liliana just huffed a laugh. Any response she had would be quite melodramatic - and would touch on topics she didn't wish to speak of as well.

Besides she was still grimacing from the fake (please let it be fake) ice cream Ignis and Prompto had to fling themselves into, one much more enthusiastically than the other. "Were these based on ancient tortures devices?"

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[mylandmyrules]

"Probably just out of the Dean's twisted imagination," Nell guessed. She shook her head. "Prompto looks like he's having fun."

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[deathsmajesty]

"He'd better," Liliana snorted. "It was his idea."

Ignis would never. Gladio...

Well, okay, Gladio might.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[mylandmyrules]

That depended on just how badly Gladio wanted to yank their chains. Though taking them fishing usually seemed to scratch that itch.

Nell just shook her head. "There's a reason I don't wander past here till he's called people down."

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[deathsmajesty]

"I was summoned once," Liliana said, glaring at Anakin. "I had to cook."

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[mylandmyrules]

"I'm so sorry," Nell said sincerely.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[deathsmajesty]

"I called Ignis and make him tell me what to do. There was something called an EZ Bake Oven involved. And I was hobbled to a student." She was gonna glower at Anakin harder

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[mylandmyrules]

"I'm... not sorry I missed that."

She really, really wasn't.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[deathsmajesty]

"We performed very well," Liliana declared.

Even if she hadn't been allowed to rot everybody else's food.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[mylandmyrules]

"With Ignis helping I'm sure you did very well indeed," Nell said with a smile.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[deathsmajesty]

"I wasn't allowed to use powers, but no one said I couldn't use outside resources," Liliana said. Smugly.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[mylandmyrules]

"Wonderful way to think outside the box," Nell said with a grin. "I bet he didn't expect that."

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[deathsmajesty]

"That sounds like an Anakin Skywalker problem," Liliana said, still preening. Let's be real, smugness and preening were 40% her emotional makeup by volume.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[mylandmyrules]

"It absolutely is," Nell said with a grin.
