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!"

Steph did not feel like her balance was the greatest on this raft, for the record, but she was gamely trying to ride it out as she held her hands out for... whatever was getting thrown her way. In all the chaos of flying objects she honestly wasn't sure any more which one it was going to be.

Quinn reached blindly into the bucket and pulled out -- a weird beakless bird thing.

She managed not to shriek, thank you, that wasn't how hardcore survivors did things, but she was definitely startled and fumbled the poor thing from hand to hand a couple times before bending down to set it on the raft.

Her next grab turned up a dog toy that made disconcerting bleeping noises when it moved. This . . . she also startled over and fumbled, but eventually managed to throw to Steph.

She hated everything.

"Oh, no, Intern Porg," Steph blurted out in dismay, only to yelp as the frankly upsetting bleeping thing arced her way.

Which was to say that she flinched away and utterly failed to catch it.

Eleanor pretty much wanted to get rid of her team's object once she caught it, and so she quickly turned toward the other raft and followed in Steve's example by calling over, "Ready, Vi?"

Instead of just immediately tossing it at her like it was a hot potato without warning. Because she knew that just would be...bad. Very bad.

"All good," Vi called back, ready and waiting for Eleanor's throw.

Steve's stitches were screaming at him for being an idiot but he was ignoring it. The honor of the Cow-topuses (cowtopi?) was on the line.

"Heads up!" he called to Luma.

Belle certainly hoped Captain Book Dragon could throw with some accuracy.

Re: RAFT THREE TO RAFT FOUR

[fears_no_one]

It depended. Could she catch a Muppet? Because Flint was throwing a Muppet. "Ready?"

Re: RAFT THREE TO RAFT FOUR

[noonedecidesmyfate]

"You can't throw people!"

Oh Belle. Just watch him!

Re: RAFT THREE TO RAFT FOUR

[fears_no_one]

"I'm uncertain that he is people," Flint said as Beaker, who'd pulled a helmet from somewhere, meeped frantically.

[Beaker modded with permission.]

Re: RAFT THREE TO RAFT FOUR

[noonedecidesmyfate]

That was a good point, Flint.

"Do be careful," Belle implored.

She was tiny and might be knocked down by a Muppet flung with enough force!

Re: RAFT THREE TO RAFT FOUR

[fears_no_one]

"Eh," said Flint, throwing the Muppet.

Re: RAFT THREE TO RAFT FOUR

[meepmeepmeep]

"MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeee," sayeth the Muppet.
