Summer Shenanigans [Wednesday mid-morning]

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!"

Looks pretty normal, for a Wednesday...

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

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.

"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)

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

Why so much OCD, self? Why?

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

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.

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...)

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!

"Ooooh, jello!" Summer said immediately once the items were all revealed. "That one's all me!"

She was, after all, the Jello Whisperer.

Wait, did that count as powers? That totally didn't count as powers, right? Those skills were earned goddammit!

"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.

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

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

Could've been a lot worse.

"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.)

"Oh, come off it!"

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

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.

"Okay!" Steve said, "How many sides does it have?" He frowned at the table. "How many sides does a banana have?"

"Whoops?"

No one would ever be able to prove Aphra deliberately knocked the egg off as soon as possible to attempt to save what was left of their collective dignity.

And god bless the fates for that.

"Good thing we're on the same team, then, huh, Steeeeeve?" Summer said, grinning back and admiring the lack of proper fitting. "It's going to be a pretty messy one, I think, and I am here for it."

Nothing done here today, she was sure of it, would be even half as disgusting as what was setting in her fridge right now for tonight.

"I'm a little concerned about the buckets," Steve admitted. "And the waffle iron."

"A-ha!" Look, it was probably best not to ask how Aphra had found a small drone buried under all that garden junk, just accept that she was the kind of person whose luck swung between wild extremes. "I present...Wafflebot!"

And now that wariness was being transferred over to Steve, especially once she noticed that Eleanor had on a different shirt, meaning she couldn't just lean on her sister for some sort of social support system this time.

"Hello," she greeted him back, and, for lack of knowing what else to say, found herself just asking, "Do you know what 'punk' is?"

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

A SLIME STAFF shirt was his punishment, apparently.
