Summer Shenanigans [Wednesday mid-morning]

[sith_happened]

Anakin was surrounded by rubber chickens and harmonicas. Completely normal Wednesday, right? There were also t-shirts, blindfolds, and two pool noodles.

Anakin picked up his megaphone. "We will be playing a modified version of tag! All but two of you will be wearing rubber chickens on your feet." As you do.

Anakin held up the rubber chicken. It squeaked menacingly. "Half of you will also have harmonicas in your mouths. Your goal is to remain silent so that the blindfolded swatters can not discover you and hit you with their pool noodle."

This seemed wholesome.

"Listen for your names and then come get your shirts!"

He smiled. "Kitty and Gladio, come retrieve your blindfolds and pool noodles. You're it."

And then he rattled off everyone else who was playing, and if they also got a harmonica in their mouths:

Raiden - harmonica
Flint
Isabelle - harmonica
Belle
Gray - harmonica
Ignis
Vi - harmonica
Sam Eagle
Prompto - harmonica
Steve R
Steve M - harmonica
Don
Steph - harmonica

Steph glanced from her harmonica to Vi's.

"This is so we can't flirt the whole time, isn't it?"

You were welcome, Cara.

Cara would be far too relieved to have missed this to be more than adequately smug at the reduction of their flirtation time.

"It's not like we even flirt that much."

The narrative would beg to differ.

Isabela, on the other hand.

"We really don't," Steph said, in a very adorably wrong way. "It's okay, I still love you even if you're squeaking around with chickens on your feet."

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Dooooown!

[giveittoyoursister]

Absolutely devastated.

"I'm gonna hold you to that," Vi told her, sliding her arm around her shoulders while she could.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Dooooown!

[drumsticksandd20s]

Steph wrapped both arms around her and hugged her. "Want me to prove it to you after this?"

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Dooooown!

[giveittoyoursister]

"I might need it," Vi said, very seriously. "The chickens are impacting my sex appeal."

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Dooooown!

[drumsticksandd20s]

Steph snorted. "Anyone who'd think that doesn't deserve to appreciate you anyway. I personally think it's extremely attractive that you're willing to embrace the absurdity."

Just getting in a few truly over the top flirtations before they were restricted to communicating via harmonica for a while, don't mind her.

Vi leaned in to steal a kiss before she had to use her mouth for less fun things. "That's why I love you."

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Dooooown!

[drumsticksandd20s]

"Aha! So now we discover the real reason," Steph teased, bumping her nose against Vi's. "It's because I think your dorkiness is hot."

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Dooooown!

[giveittoyoursister]

"Didn't think I fall for someone who didn't stroke my ego?" Vi teased back, kissing the tip of Steph's nose.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Dooooown!

[drumsticksandd20s]

Steph harrumphed good-naturedly, which made the rubber chickens on her feet squeak in some sort of bizarre agreement.

"It's not the only thing I do, thank you very much."

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Dooooown!

[giveittoyoursister]

"You do stroke other things of mine," Vi said like butter wouldn't melt in her mouth.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Dooooown!

[drumsticksandd20s]

"Behave," Steph replied with a fond roll of her eyes, shoving Vi's shoulder as gently as possible.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Dooooown!

[giveittoyoursister]

"I'll be on my best behaviour," Vi promised.

She would not.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Dooooown!

[drumsticksandd20s]

Steph just looked at her. Which, granted, was a look made up of equal parts indulgent affection and tolerant skepticism.

"Uh huh."

She knew you, Vi.
