Summer Shenanigans [Wednesday mid-morning]

[sith_happened]

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!"

"Okay, so we'll leave that one free and tie your left hand to my right hand," Steve said.

"All right," Henry said, holding his arm out. "... This isn't some weird ruse to take all of our money, is it?"

Re: LEG 2

"I don't think so," Steve assured him. "Skywalker's more a fan of humiliation, as far as I know."

"Ah, I know the type," Henry said sympathetically. "Though, to be fair, sometimes I wonder if they fully understand what they're doing. Back home there's a noble who made me run after his horse rather than lend me one to come with him, but then he was quite nice afterward, oddly enough."

"That wasn't nice," Steve agreed, glancing over the recipe. "Okay, we need to crack some eggs into the bowl while the wok--this is a wok--heats up."

Re: LEG 2

"Ah, I think I can handle that," Henry said, already fumbling around for the eggs. "Just breaking things."

Re: LEG 2

"Try not to get the shell in," Steve advised.

Re: LEG 2

[thatsmysword]

"Good advice," Henry said merrily, cracking the egg on the rim of the wok. "This sure is a large pan. Where d'you think they find this kind of thing?"

Honey, focus on the work, not the many questions perpetually bouncing around your skull.

"I think they came with the restaurant," Steve said.
