[sith_happened]

Did the world need a gremlin running around the park with a lit torch? Probably not, but he'd showed up with a lit torch and Anakin had chosen the path of not arguing about it. "Welcome to Fandom Olympics!" he announced instead through his--as always--completely unnecessary bullhorn. "The events you are participating in were chosen at random last night by five porgs spinning a wheel on which all Olympic events were listed. I am calling it the most modern pentathalon!"

If the pause was for applause, he'd be waiting a bit.

"Listen for your names! No powers!"

Arrive and Mingle!

[sith_happened]

What fresh ridiculousness has Anakin unleashed? Stick around and find out!

Re: Arrive and Mingle!

[single_man_tear]

Dean showed up because there was certainly no way he'd be chosen again after so many weeks of being forced to participate. No. Way.

It's an impossibility.

Arden was there and glaring at Anakin even before her name was called.

Very intimidating, babygirl. Truly.

Re: Arrive and Mingle!

[unusual_sith]

"Arden." Lana nodded to her. "I'm sorry you missed yesterday. Is everything all right?"

Voluntolds, Come on Dooooown!

[sith_happened]

Admire your amazing track suits!

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Dooooown!

[id_kill_him]

It was very important for everyone to know that not only did Yukari love her track suit and was sporting it with the utmost pride and confidence, but she actually already had one very similar to it at home.

Dean put on the green outfit and just let out a long sigh.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Dooooown!

Kamala was not going to lie. She was digging the outfit. She changed and walked out waving to the crowd like she was an actual athlete about to participate in a very important event.

"I knew I should have avoided the park today," Lydia moaned. Stupid walk for her stupid health.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Dooooown!

[what_big_teeth]

Oh, this one was absolutely going toward the top of the list for the most hilarious outfits to trot out again sometime in the future, and honestly? She was a little fascinated by the fact that there was no way you were sneaking up on anyone wearing these things.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Dooooown!

[afraid_of_marshmallows]

"I have no idea why these are a thing," Arden said, putting hers on. While still glaring in a particular direction. "Like. Why this fabric? What does it do?"

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Dooooown!

[x_wondrous_x]

There was a faint snort from Stewart. "Wondrous," he decided, because, yes, it was true, white was the antithesis of his usual color scheme, but...there was a solid respect for the cultural tradition of a good track suit in his chosen line of work. And a truly hideous one could be a true badge of honor. He would wear this one proudly as well.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Dooooown!

[doesdoctorstuff]

Navaan was going to try to hug Anakin. "Bestieee!" she said. "Thank you for getting me something to not explode in the sun! They're still ugly, but they have a shape to them!"

Way better than the depression robes. Was this possibly a step in the right, more healingful direction?

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Dooooown!

[regulationslacker]

Mariner wasn't really sure what was supposed to be wrong with these outfits. Sure they weren't her taste in civvies, but she'd always tended to go retro there.

Enjoy the Pentathalon!

[sith_happened]

"Your sports today will be: Beach Volleyball, Pommel Horse, Skeet Shooting, Breaking, and finally Artistic Swimming!"

This should be a thing.

Beach Volleyball

[sith_happened]

Vi & Eleanor against Dean & Beaker
Kamala & Arden against Lydia & Jon
Steve M & Mariner against Stewart & Gray
Arthur & Rey against Thor & Yukuri
Lana & Steve R against Navaan & Miguel

Pommel Horse

[sith_happened]

Everyone participates! Tell us how that went.

Skeet Shooting

[sith_happened]

Again, everyone participates!

Breaking!

[sith_happened]

One team member must be chosen from the four of you!

Team Teal dances to It's Just Begun
Team White dances to Never Gonna Give You Up
Team Pink dances to Hot Potato
Team Blue dances to The Platypus Strut
Team Green dances to Protect Your Neck

(The music is a surprise until you start dancing.)

Artistic Swimming

[sith_happened]

Swimming caps with flowers have been provided. Each of you must swim in the pond with your most dramatic interpretation of Ever the Same.

Make it amazing.

OOC

We stan.

Re: OOC

[afraid_of_marshmallows]

He is from Worcester and nobody here has any chill about him AT ALL.

Re: OOC

[slothbabyproductions]

He makes me proud to be a Steve

Re: OOC

[moreofaponchoguy]

That Ken's job is Pommel.
