Summer Shenanigans [Wednesday mid-morning]

[sith_happened]

Everyone was back in the park today, with several stations set up around the area: one with buckets suspended in the air with numbers hanging from them, one with six tables covering up lumpy objects with checked tablecloths, and most intriguingly/disturbingly, a waffle iron on a stool in the center of a red circular rug.

"Welcome to Shenanigans!" Anakin announced. "Today you will be working in small groups today as you make your way around a variety of team building activities! Listen for your names!"

Arrive and Mingle

[sith_happened]

Looks pretty normal, for a Wednesday...

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[hashtag_chocobro]

Prompto was actually looking forward to seeing what was up at the park that Wednesday, even with the risk of being suckered into it. Just because it meant only having to wrangle one little child who couldn't even fly (oh thank the gods for that), instead of, you know, a good handful of birds while also making sure none of the hungry cats who were eyeing them ate them.

So, yeah, definitely glad to come by and see what was up and let everyone else's potential misery entertain his daughter for a part of the day. And maybe getting a few pictures, too, while he was at it.

Noctra was going to love it when those buckets got put to use, though, and Prompto was going to be spending the entirety of the next week having things dumped on his head.

Voluntolds, Come on Dooooown!

[sith_happened]

The shirts are not terrible! They are also not subtle with the theme this week.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Dooooown!

[giveittoyoursister]

The shirts mightn't have been as terrible, but they were still losing their sleeves. As was tradition.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Dooooown!

[even_bigger_teeth]

Luma had been exceptionally wary to allow Eleanor to drag her down to the park again after whatever the hell that was last week, but at least the shirt didn't make her want to immediately just gag at the thought of wearing it.

She was trying to decide if a 'punk' was something she wanted to research whatever it was or if she was better off just reveling in her ignorance.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Dooooown!

[grenadesandohana]

"Hey, teammate," Steve said, yanking his matching shirt down over his torso.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Dooooown!

[what_big_teeth]

The orange was pretty bright for Eleanor's tastes, but she was trying to think positively as she yanked it on.

By that, she meant telling herself that, if things got really bad, at least it would actually blend in with any of her blood that may have been spilled!

(Not that she imagined it would get to that level, but, you never knew...)

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Dooooown!

[somethingwithturquoise]

As soon as Summer noticed the trend in the t-shirts, she knew exactly why fate had pulled her from the audience this week, and she was going to sport her adorable shirt proudly while rubbing her hands together in a way that she hoped might make some people be mildly concerned. Either with what was coming up ahead or how Summer was going to take to it.

Maybe even both!

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Dooooown!

[heroic_jawline]

"I'd certainly be intimidated," Steve said with a grin as he pulled his matching shirt on. (Half-size too small, as all of Steve's shirts were.)

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Dooooown!

[thatsmysword]

"I really don't know why I'm back here," Henry mumbled to himself.

A lack of any other purpose in his life at the moment, most likely.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Dooooown!

[jedigrammarians]

"Oh, come off it!"

Aphra? Not a fan of her plan to sit on the sidelines and mock going awry.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Dooooown!

[stykera]

Stark had made a mistake and been out in public this morning.

A SLIME STAFF shirt was his punishment, apparently.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Dooooown!

[intheeyeofthebeholding]

At least Jon knew one of his teammates.

"I'm not sure I want to know what the obsession with slime is."

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Dooooown!

[napking]

"Oh, this...this is ominous," Gray observed as he pulled his shirt on. "I don't know if I like this."

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Dooooown!

[solo_sword]

Jaina saw the shirt.

She sighed.

She called out to the audience where the kids were sitting with their dad and said, "Do not cheer for this!"

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Dooooown!

[sith_happened]

Anakin smiled evilly happily at her.

Let's have some Shenanigans!

[sith_happened]

Answer these three questions!

[sith_happened]

Your team of three will stand under nine suspended buckets, with the numbers 1-9 on ropes tied to each of the buckets.

"Answer these three trivia questions!" Anakin said. "If you get the answer correct, you choose your own bucket to pull down. If you get the answer incorrect, I pick a bucket to pull down! Put on these goggles and helmets."

What did you put in the buckets, Anakin?

[OOC: The buckets hold the following:
1: Green Slime
2: Chocolate Pudding
3: Glitter
4: Empty
5: Feathers
6: Blue Slime
7: Water
8: Empty
9: Bubble mixture

Team #1: Pull 5, 1, and 4
Team #2: Pull 5, 9, and 4
Team #3: Pull 8, 6, and 1
Team #4: Pull 2, 1, and 9
Team #5: Pull 1, 4, and 2
Team #6: Pull 5, 7, and 3]

Mod how many trivia questions you got correct, but as you can see, it doesn't matter.

Re: Answer these three questions!

[giveittoyoursister]

Vi braced herself and pulled the rope of her bucket. "Huh, feathers." Could've been worse.

Could've been a lot worse.

Re: Answer these three questions!

[jedigrammarians]

Aphra had her own awesome goggles.

She did not consider that this meant she'd have to clean slime off her own awesome goggles until far too late.

Re: Answer these three questions!

[stykera]

"What?" Stark asked, thoroughly confused when the bucket over him turned out to be empty.

Re: Answer these three questions!

[napking]

Gray pulled a rope and found himself doused in blue slime.

He didn't know what else he'd expected.

Sort these objects!

[sith_happened]

"Working together, arrange the seven objects under the cloth by how many sides they have: fewest number of sides to the left, most number of sides to the right. You may only use your face to move the objects. If anything falls off the table, you are disqualified. You have ten minutes. You may not use any powers."

Your objects are: An egg (it's raw), a banana, a pyramid shaped ice block, a jello loaf with 6 sides, a sheet of paper, a round cylinder of goat cheese, and a clear block with an open top filled with slime. (The slime is technically edible, but it doesn't taste good.)

The teams complete it in the following order:

6
3
2
1
4 (Jello falls off table)
5 (egg falls off table)

Lost distance waffle making!

[sith_happened]

At least there's no slime?

There's a plugged in waffle iron in the center of a red carpet circle roughly four feet around. Next to the circle is a bowl filled with waffle batter, a ladle, and a block of butter, plus a plate. There is also a small shed filled with clear plastic tubing, hoses, duct tape, children's tricycles, a wheelbarrow, and other moddable garden and outdoor toys.

"Listen carefully," Anakin said. "Fry a waffle in the waffle iron and present it to me on the plate. You cannot step onto the red carpet. Best looking waffle wins."

[RNG says:
5 wins
