Summer Shenanigans, Wednesday, August 21, 2024

"Today is our last team building exercise of the summer," Anakin announced to the group in the park over the sound of preschool children playing on the playground equipment. "And today I have brought in helpers!"

Oh, good.

"You will be put into teams and work your way through a series of obstacles with the help of a four year old child."

Well. "Help." Anakin knew four year old children.

"Today you will be wearing festive hats instead of shirts!" he added. "They were not at all inspired by my wife watching political conventions the last few weeks."

Lies. There was no other reason to wear a corn hat.

"Listen for your names!"

Challenge 4

[sith_happened]

Cooking! Following the recipe Anakin has left for you, Harley, Vi, Senshi, and Miguel must make six edible cookies with their NPC helper and Hannibal, Sam, Flint & Beaker must eat all six cookies with dying of food poisoning or making the child cry.

RNG says: LIBERTY, CORN, LOBSTA, CHEESE

Why couldn't Hannibal have gotten the first part of this?

He hoped you could mix things well, Harley.

Ha! Miguel could definitely cook. Even if he felt "no bake" was kind of a silly caveat if you had to cook them other ways.

Re: Challenge 4

Sam was made of felt. He could eat these cookies with impunity!

Re: Challenge 4

The issue was that Vi was pretty sure there was a problem with the recipe. Cookies were meant to be baked for a start.

So they'd be here a while while Vi tried to 'fix' this.

Fortunately, Senshi was an excellent chef! (Un?)fortunately, he was also a big fan of improvising.

"Bet some slime powder will help hold this together with less stickiness," he muttered to himself. "And, hmm, some shadowtail fruits to make it sweeter...what else do I have in here...?"

"Hurry up, please," Flint said, tapping his fingers against his breeches impatiently. The kid took one look at him and burst out crying again.

"Well, now I gotta comfort little Kayleigh first," Senshi said, giving Flint a disapproving look. "Unless you wanna?"

Re: Challenge 4

[fears_no_one]

"I absolutely do not," Flint told him.

Re: Challenge 4

[sailor_meshi]

"Then it looks like it's going to take even longer now," Senshi informed him. "C'mere, Kayleigh. Let's talk about those big feelings again."

Re: Challenge 4

[fears_no_one]

"That will take forever," Flint said.

Re: Challenge 4

[sailor_meshi]

"Woulda been faster if I didn't have to stop and make sure Kayleigh was okay," Senshi agreed.

Re: Challenge 4

[fears_no_one]

"It's much faster if you don't care at all," Flint agreed.

Re: Challenge 4

[sailor_meshi]

Senshi just stared at him. "So much about you just became clear."
