Summer Shenanigans, Wednesday, July 24, 2024

[sith_happened]

When the poor schmucks Fandom arrived in the park on Wednesday, they would see four wooden rafts, big enough to each hold five people (or Muppets), bobbing on the pond. In the center of each raft was a metal bucket full of objects. Some were balloon-shaped, some were ball-shaped, others were clearly shoes. One looked suspiciously like Intern Porg, desperate for a news story.

"My thanks to Don and Jane for covering for me the last two weeks. We are doing something that didn't require much effort on my part to set up," Anakin said, which was pretty straight-forward of him. "We're doing a balloon-ish toss! Pick an object, toss it to your teammate on the next raft over. Do not miss, or break the object! Fastest team to get all the way around the circuit wins."

He grinned. "Powers may be used today. And there are plenty of objects in the buckets. No one says you have to only toss things at your own teammates."

Sometimes Anakin just liked to watch the world burn.

"Listen for your names!"

What recycled hell is this, Anakin?

Re: Arrive and Mingle!

[single_man_tear]

Dean settled in to watch the show because honestly, he'd been called down for what... 3 weeks now? Surely he'd get a break today.

Re: Arrive and Mingle!

[stykera]

Stark was certain his name would be called this week. He was dreading it. But he was also hoping that if it was called he'd at least feel a sense of relief that the waiting was done.

No such luck. His name remained uncalled. His paranoia remained healthy.

But he was going to watch this chaos. Might as well, right?

Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[sith_happened]

Someone explain to Henry and Flint what they are in for!

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[slothbabyproductions]

Kamala had come in today expecting some gigantic costume to be worn but instead... just a t-shirt.

"I can live with this," she declared as she pulled it on.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[what_big_teeth]

As someone who had been painstakingly combing through all her previous shenanigans shirts from this year and the last, Eleanor was almost a little disappointed with how mundane this one was.

Almost.

Having painstakingly combed through all her previous shenanigan shirts from this year and the last, Eleanor was absolutely not complaining about how absolutely mundane this one was!

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[singlenakedwhat]

"What the fuck," Henry managed, eloquent as ever.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[fears_no_one]

"They hardly look seaworthy," Flint agreed.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[x_wondrous_x]

"Heh."

If you couldn't tell by the smarmy grin and the fact that this shirt was actually going on over the overalls, Stewart definitely approved of his attire this week.

And thinking that, you know what, maybe he'd pick up a shift, so to speak, right after this, too...

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[giveittoyoursister]

Looking at the rafts, Vi was glad she'd left Steph at home for this, because there was no way that would've ended well.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[hashtag_chocobro]

Okay, this was hardly fair. Prompto honestly, sincerely loved this shirt, and he was more than happy to pull it on and then grin brightly over at Gladio, because see? See? Coming out for these things was awesome!

And he was definitely going to be pointing out to Ignis about how these weren't bad shirts, either! Like he didn't even get anything with polyester!!

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[single_man_tear]

Dean groaned as he made he way down to be tortured again. Then again the t-shirt was on point for at least one point in his life and the game did not seem to be too bad.

And now his competitive side was kicking. "Okay people! Let's do this!"

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[chef_chocobro]

Ignis was even more inclined to agree to something like this when Prompto asked and tried to rally them together for it after his revelation on Shandalar, and he was bracing himself for whatever horrible thing he was going to be expected to wear.

Only to be...suspicious over the fact that he appeared to be handed just a regular t-shirt. Not even anything with horrible polyester. Oh, what was on the front of it had to be something truly awful indeed, then, and he considered it with a thoughtful frown as he tried to decide if he wanted to ask someone to tell him, or if ignorance truly was bliss in this instance...

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[deathsmajesty]

"Have fun, my darling, I'm just going to--what?" Liliana sounded absolutely appalled when her name was called.

She blamed Gladio for this. Or Dean. One of them.

All Aboard!

[sith_happened]

The first raft contains Ben, Steve M, Henry, Steve R, and Prompto! They are throwing towards Raiden, Liliana, Arden, Stewart, and Beaker!

The second raft, obviously, contains Raiden, Liliana, Arden, Stewart, and Beaker! They are throwing towards Gladio, Don, Flint, Rey, and Vi!

The third raft (Gladio, Don, Flint, Rey, and Vi) are throwing towards Kamala, Ignis, Lydia, Dean and Eleanor!

And finally, Kamala, Ignis, Lydia, Dean and Eleanor toss back to Ben, Steve M., Henry, Steve R. and Prompto!

You are encouraged to throw all manner of small, moddable, non-deadly objects at your teammates, at your raftmates, at other rafts...Anakin doesn't care in the slightest.

Aboard Raft One

[sith_happened]

Re: Aboard Raft One

[singlenakedwhat]

"What the fuck," Henry grumbled, not for the first time, wondering why she was putting up with this shit. She grabbed a flip-flop from the bucket and hurled it at... er, towards... Arden.

Re: Aboard Raft One

[hashtag_chocobro]

"Oh, boy," said Prompto, chuckling a little to himself and rubbing his hands together as he got ready to try and toss....something....over at Beaker on the other raft. Was there anything that looked particularly less explody? That. That's what he was going for.

He was still half expecting it to explode.

"Incoming!" he called out, and lobbed what appeared to be one of those hamster running balls over the water toward the other raft.

Re: Aboard Raft One

[momslilassassin]

Ben glanced around at the RNG generated Fry raft and grinned. He picked something out of the bucket--the porg, why wasn't he more surprised it was the porg?--and yelled at Raiden. "Head's up! Bird incoming!"

Then he used the Force to drop water balloons on the heads of McGarrett and Rogers. Because he could.

Re: Aboard Raft One

[heroic_jawline]

After getting into a brief tussle with McGarrett and the other Skywalker, Steve finally got focused on the actual mission--throwing something at Stewart. There wasn't a ton left in the bucket, so enjoy the incoming squeaky dog toy?

Aboard Raft Two

[sith_happened]

Re: Aboard Raft Two

[x_wondrous_x]

Stewart rifled through the objects at large to find one that seemed relatively aerodynamic, found an American (ahem) football, and figured that one was a good choice to lob over toward the next raft toward Rey.

And you know what? He had a surprisingly good throwing arm, too. It definitely wasn't his first American football toss, thank you.

No one wins this, it's pure chaos :)
