Summer Shenanigans [Wednesday mid-morning]
Good morning, everyone! It's time for another summer of Anakin Skywalker Thinks This Teaches Team Building and But Mostly Amuses Himself!
Or "Shenanigans."
The bleachers for viewing were set up in the park, close to the pond and near the Belthazor Commemorative Divot. Food vendors had arrived with hot dogs, popcorn, and rum for the squirrels. And coffee. Just...so much coffee. Huge flatscreens were set up facing the bleachers, which gave people a hint that today's event would not just stay inside the park, and the cameras were trained at...well, ankle height or the sky for now because squirrels and rum.
Anakin and his bullhorn were standing behind a folding table stacked high with brightly patterned shirts, and people who had been here before knew that just because the shirts were free, it never, ever meant you wanted to wear them.
"GOOD MORNING!" he boomed through the completely unnecessary bullhorn when enough people were gathered. "Welcome to another summer of team building activities!"
He might be waiting for a while if he was expecting cheers, just saying.
"Today, as has become tradition, we shall conduct a relay race around the island to acquaint you newcomers with where things are!" he said. "Please listen as your name is called and then come up for your team-building clothing."
AKA: ugly Hawaiian shirts.
"You'll be in--" he did a mental headcount at the number of people in the park, "--two groups of 11. Listen for your names!"

This town was so weird.

He had no idea how or where they got the giant #1 foam fingers and he wasn't asking.

"What the hell."
Re: Voluntolds, Come on Dooooown!
"Oh, please, no."
Oh, yes, Lydia.

"Eleanor," she demanded, holding out the shirt and regarding it with the utmost appalled dismay, "what is this?"
Re: Voluntolds, Come on Dooooown!
Re: Voluntolds, Come on Dooooown!
Then raised her hand.
"Yeah, I didn't sign up for this."
Look, college was one thing. What even was this?

Look, she'd been putting effort into being less of a (quietly) judgmental person. She had to vent that impulse into something, and surely nothing was more deserving than these shirts.
Re: Voluntolds, Come on Dooooown!
"This is... rather appalling," Belle said with a giggle as she donned her screaming primate shirt.
It really was.
"I'd somehow forgotten how ridiculous these could be."
Re: Voluntolds, Come on Dooooown!
Re: Voluntolds, Come on Dooooown!
Everything made you hungry, buddy.
Re: Voluntolds, Come on Dooooown!
Re: Voluntolds, Come on Dooooown!
"Oh no," Eleanor said, once they began to get their shirts, and realized a big gaping error in her reasoning.
Re: Voluntolds, Come on Dooooown!
Get Ready to Race!
LEG 1
They must then order and consume (togther, so two straws) a large chocolate milkshake as quickly as possible. Will you get a brain freeze? Oh yeah. After you have finished your milkshakes, pass the boogie boards and the shark hats to your teammates (Steve R. & Henry, Vi & Rey)! They'll be thrilled.
