Summer Shenanigans, Wednesday, June 12, 2024

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

Arden

Team Cosby Sweaters
Miguel

So much slime, and goo, and...was that chocolate sauce? Anakin, why.

He's really outdone himself on the shirts this week.

Each character has two obstacles to do. You must find a flag at the end and pass it off to your teammate for them to begin their run. Fastest team wins fame and glory and the first chance to shower.

The Gum Drop. Grab the flag at the top of the giant ball pit and ride the slide out through the 5-cent door at the bottom. Hand the flag to your next teammate!

Don't get stuck or claustrophobic!

The second team member climbs into a giant hot dog bun and must remove the condiment lids to find the flag (it's in the last on you pick because of course it is). The condiments contain mustard, ketchup, and green slime! Oh, you lucky people.

Go down the Sundae Slide and into a giant vat of fake ice cream. The flag is buried in there somewhere. Find it and pass it to your teammate!

Go through The Wringer! Get squished by two rollers and then go down a slime-covered ramp. The flag is hiding somewhere in the slime! Pass it along to your unslimed first teammate!

Anakin didn't think it's fair that the first teammate is still pretty clean! Behold, the Blue Plate Special! Go through this giant--two meters across--pile of fake spaghetti with giant meatballs to find the flag somewhere inside! Pass it to your teammate!

You're covered in fake condiments, only makes sense that you now have to run! Get on into the One-Ton Human Hamster Wheel. The faster you run, the faster the lever with the flag on it comes down!

Time go Couch Searching! There's an oversized couch in front of you! Take off the pillows and search for the flag among giant Cheerios, socks, and an oversized remote control.

This one's easy! There's a blimp overhead with a rope to pull on. You pull on the rope and the flag comes down! And slime. And chocolate pudding. And water. It's a whole thing.

The RNG says that the race goes: Team Lisa Frank, Cosby Sweaters, Totally Radical, My Eyes, My Eyes, and then the Rainbows, but really, everyone wins.

Team building!

I wanted to be on Family Double Dare so much as a kid.

"Oh, man, this is going to be a disaster," Ben said gleefully as he sat down with the kids.

Tony just shot his husband A Look about this.

He was owed such a nice dinner now.

Steve burst into helpless giggles as he pulled his terrifying puppy shirt on over his head. "I'm sorry!"

Prompto was so stoked about convincing the guys to join him for at least one Wednesday at the park this summer. Look, he understood that he, being an actual alumni of this school, held a special place in his heart for these things that the other two couldn't possibly possess, but it meant a lot to him! It was good team building experience and memory making! So, after just stopping by the shelter this week to take care of a few things, he eagerly made his way to the park to meet them and was relieved that all their names ended up being called, too, and eagerly bounced his way to get his shirt.

"Oooh-hooo-hoooo!" he complimented with a chuckle, admiring how it definitely seemed very much him and pulling it on and really feeling sad that Ignis wasn't going to be able to appreciate how glorious these all were.

"You planned this, I swear!"

Lydia had thought she was prepared, just in case her name was called, but she had not anticipated...this.

"Do I have time to go change?" Perhaps into the dress she was least fond of?

Steve was probably supposed to be too cool to be this excited about going down a twirly slide into a vat of grossness but oh well. This was great!

...the flag was stupidly hard to find, though.

Oh, that T-shirt was tight, in a way that reminded Gladio of why he just didn't bother with shirts most of the time anyway, but honestly? His attention was more on that human-sized hamster wheel with a shake of his head, thinking that they really had been pushing that marketing campaign hard, hadn't they? Although maybe now he'd get to give it a try and make a more informed decision on getting some for the gym....

"Oh....no," said Ignis, realizing that if he didn't even need to see the sweater he'd been given to know it was horrible based on tactile observations alone...

Between Gladio's fishing and Prompto's shenanigans, he really, really needed to think of something good for when it was his turn to drag the others along on something wretched...

Eleanor was pretty sure that a lot of what was on the T-shirt was a bunch of cultural references she was too from the past to understand, but at least it didn't seem terribly offensive? Or weirdly targeted against her in ways that no one would have known anyway? But she was a little curious which of her peers might be able to explain it to her, because so help her, if she wasn't a little bit curious...

"I didn't!" Steve said, still laughing. "I promise. Where did he even find a giant plate of fake spaghetti?"

Anakin consulted his list. "Yes, if you hurry. Your team goes fourth."
