Summer Shenanigans [Wednesday mid-morning]

[sith_happened]

Good morning, everyone! The sun was shining, the weather was getting pleasantly warm and Anakin had set himself up in the park with a bullhorn and a bunch of giant plastic storage containers full of liquids. Ice water, orange soda, chocolate pudding, the leftover slime...

Surely this will end well for everybody!

"Today you will participate in the ten toes challenge!" Anakin announced. "Working in teams, you will lay on your backs and balance these containers on your socked feet. Then, going in a circle, you must each take off one sock, then the other, without tipping the liquid onto yourselves. It's about teamwork!"

And gravity. And Anakin's personal amusement.

"Come down when I call your name and get your team socks!" He grinned. "Oh, and no powers, please. That takes away the fun."

The fun for the audience.

Smiley Toe Socks!

[sith_happened]

You have the ice water! RNG says that when it tips, it's Sam's fault.

Luma doubted the logistics of this would be even relevant, but she did have to wonder, as she followed what those around her was doing and laid down, but with deep reservations about all of it:

"How exactly are powers defined? They aren't really powers if they're just what you are, are they?"

She was thinking of just gripping the damn thing with her claws when she wasn't having to take off a sock. It was just a physical thing she had! It was like saying someone couldn't use their arms or something!

"Do you think the toes give us a tactical advantage?" Steph asked idly. "Or is that cancelled out by feeling like our feet are staring at us from this angle?"

"He really is a madman, isn't he," said Henry. And yet here was, laying down, being reminded of that time he accidentally dropped some tongs onto his foot. Those toes? They were itching right now.

Of course it was Sam's fault. If there were only balancing involved it would be fine. He had large feet that would offer an advantage. If only he weren't trying to pull toe socks of those large, felt, eagle feet. Oops?

Sam's squawk was almost as undignified as the socks themselves. Almost.

He was sorry, teammates. Sorry he was now wet, mostly.

"I was at a disadvantage." Nah, Sam. Everyone was doomed to fail. Your failure was just a little goofier than some others.
