Summer Shenanigans [Wednesday mid-morning]

[sith_happened]

When the poor schmucks Fandom arrived in the park on Wednesday, they would see four wooden rafts, big enough to each hold four people (or Muppets), bobbing on the pond. In the center of each raft was a metal bucket full of objects. Some were balloon-shaped, some were ball-shaped, others were clearly shoes. One looked suspiciously like Intern Porg.

(Do not throw Intern Porg.)

"We're doing a balloon-ish toss!" Anakin announced. "Pick an object, toss it to your teammate on the next raft over. Do not miss or break the object! Fastest team to get all the way around the circuit wins."

He grinned. "Powers may be used today, and there are plenty of objects in the buckets. No one says you have to only toss things at your own teammates."

Sometimes Anakin just liked to watch the world burn.

"Listen for your names!"

Steve gave Beaker a firm look as they climbed onto the raft together. "Do not sink us."

Re: RAFT TWO TO RAFT THREE

[meepmeepmeep]

"Meep meep meep meep meep meep," Beaker said.

No promises, Steve.

Re: RAFT TWO TO RAFT THREE

Steve, one eye still on Beaker, yelled across to Eleanor. "Ready?"

Re: RAFT TWO TO RAFT THREE

[what_big_teeth]

"As ready as I'll ever be!" Eleanor called back, which, you know, surely would have instilled plenty of confidence for everyone in her team! But she was standing there with her legs slightly bent and her hands out as if to prove that she knew how this worked! She could definitely catch it! No problem!

"Here goes nothing," Steve said as his balance shifted (he was blaming Beaker, even if he wasn't looking over) and his careful toss went to the right instead.

Re: RAFT TWO TO RAFT THREE

[meepmeepmeep]

"Meep meep meep!" Beaker said to Flint, waving a rubber chicken.

Re: RAFT TWO TO RAFT THREE

[fears_no_one]

"Oh, for fuck's sake," Flint muttered. "Very well, throw it!"

Re: RAFT TWO TO RAFT THREE

[meepmeepmeep]

"Meeeeeeep," Beaker said, throwing the chicken straight into the water.

Re: RAFT TWO TO RAFT THREE

[fears_no_one]

Flint was clearly contemplating murder.

"Again."

Re: RAFT TWO TO RAFT THREE

[meepmeepmeep]

"Meep meep mee!" Beaker said, looking as intimidated as a Muppet with static eyes could.

Re: RAFT TWO TO RAFT THREE

[fears_no_one]

"Throw it!" Flint roared.

Re: RAFT TWO TO RAFT THREE

[meepmeepmeep]

How did Beaker managed to throw both a ball and himself? Physics worked differently for Muppets!

Re: RAFT TWO TO RAFT THREE

[fears_no_one]

Flint, not used to the way of Muppets, ducked out of the way.

Re: RAFT TWO TO RAFT THREE

[meepmeepmeep]

"MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" Beaker cried as he sailed over Flint's head and landed in the water.

Re: RAFT TWO TO RAFT THREE

[fears_no_one]

"I'm not helping you," Flint told him as he floated past.

Re: RAFT TWO TO RAFT THREE

[deathtofrendo]

Were they allowed to just "accidentally" elbow their opponents off the raft?

Asking for a friend.

Re: RAFT TWO TO RAFT THREE

[regulationslacker]

Their opponents were doing a more than good enough job of flinging themselves off the raft. "Heads up," Mariner called out,, waiting until Quinn was actually paying attention to her before tossing the balloon.

Re: RAFT TWO TO RAFT THREE

[stykera]

Hope you were ready for Stark tossing a wet shoe at you, Steve, because here it came!

Re: RAFT TWO TO RAFT THREE

[grenadesandohana]

Steve stretched too far to catch the shoe and tipped off of the raft. "Sonofabitch," he gasped as he hit the water. "Sorry!"
