Summer Shenanigans [Wednesday mid-morning]

[sith_happened]

Today there was a ring of chairs in the middle of the park, so that was fine. Musical chairs was a very normal game to play!

Of course, this was Anakin...

"By popular demand, we're bringing back playing Musical Shares!" Anakin announced through his completely superfluous megaphone. And no one had asked for this game again. "It will be one giant team building exercise!"

That seemed ominous. "Come get your shirts!"

Ohhhh, they were so pink and perky.

Anakin read out the names for the day:
Luma
Steve M
Belle
Stewart
Lydia
Steve R
Eleanor
Jaina
Gray
Rey
Don
Flint

Arrive and Mingle

Wonder how Anakin would make musical chairs weird.

Voluntolds, Come on Dooooown!

Was team even an acronym? It was now!

Belle was not sure it was an acronym but this was an nicely inoffensive shirt at least.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Dooooown!

[fears_no_one]

"Well, this shirt is certainly...pink," Flint said, staring at it.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Dooooown!

[heroic_jawline]

Steve grinned at the shirt. "Wonder if I can get the rest of the Avengers to wear these?" he mused aloud.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Dooooown!

[thatwaslucky]

This shirt was fine! Rey defended the shirts more than she probably would, but this was completely okay. Was she almost a little proud of Anakin here?

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Dooooown!

[grenadesandohana]

Steve snorted at the shirt, imagining any of the SEALS he knew trying to wear this, then turned slightly morose because, well, he wasn't one of them any more.

It'd been a tough week for Steve. Please excuse him glaring at a pink shirt.

Luma breathed a sigh of relief when they got their new shirts. She actually liked this one, not only was it one of her favorite colors, but as a member of a pack, she deeply appreciated the sentiment, especially since the nature of today's game meant that she and Eleanor were getting one, and so no one, Eleanor especially, mind the somewhat bright (but still toothless) smile on her face as she put it on and wore it somewhat proudly.

Couldn't all the shirts be like this one? Or at least a lot less like the usual ones?

She hoped that having a decent shirt didn't end up meaning the rest of it was all going to be really terrible.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Dooooown!

[what_big_teeth]

Luma seemed happy with this one so far, which meant that Eleanor was mostly just bracing herself for whatever was going to happen with those chairs once they got past the surprisingly normal t-shirts.

(Eleanor was also, she would admit, disappointed they weren't more terrible, but she'd actually grown to enjoy the ridiculousness of some of them...and giggling over them to a point of dispelling irony entirely with Kamala...)

On the one hand, the temptation to hiss as he put on this shirt as if doing so burned him to his very core was tempting for Stewart.

On the other hand, he was a big fan of irony and subverting (some) expectations.

So there was a sigh, and he put on the shirt, and when he thought no one was looking, might have snapped a quick selfie.

For....reasons. That, uh, you probably wouldn't want to know about, so don't even ask!

Musical Shares!

[sith_happened]

Round One

[sith_happened]

Twelve people, 12 chairs! When the music--provided by the Caritas zombie band eager for a new gig--came to a stop, find a chair!

Re: Round One

[noonedecidesmyfate]

Well, this was suspiciously fine. A chair for everyone. How pleasant.

Re: Round One

[fears_no_one]

"This is a trap," Flint declared, scowling as he sat.

Re: Round One

[thatwaslucky]

Rey sat. Seemed normal. Felt wrong.

Re: Round One

[solo_sword]

Jaina didn't know what was coming, but she knew what was coming, and therefore she was already looking annoyed.

Round Two

[sith_happened]

Twelve people, six chairs! Steve R & Belle, Steve M & Stewart, Don & Lydia, Eleanor & Luma, Rey & Flint, and Jaina & Gray, get cozy!

Re: Round Two

[heroic_jawline]

Steve slid into his chair with a pleased grin.

Re: Round Two

[grenadesandohana]

Steve found a seat, too.

Round Three

[sith_happened]

Did you know the zombie band was really into Rob Thomas? Now you did! Twelve people, four chairs!

Chair 1: Don, Gray, Steve M
Chair 2: Jaina, Luma, Flint
Chair 3: Belle, Rey, Stewart
Chair 4: Lydia, Eleanor, Steve R

Round Four

[sith_happened]

You were still drawn from the reeds and brave like soldiers, gang, just with one less chair, and the chairs that were left looked a little worse for wear.

Chair 1: Lydia, Rey, Stewart, Belle
Chair 2: Jaina, Luma, Flint, Gray
Chair 3: Don, Eleanor, Steve R, Steve M

Round Five

[sith_happened]

Twelve people, two chairs!

Chair 1: Stewart, Belle, Flint, Gray, Jaina, Rey
Chair 2: Eleanor, Steve M, Luma, Lydia, Steve R, Don

Final Round!

[sith_happened]

One chair, everyone piling onto Jaina!

C'mon, Jaina, think of it like a Force exercise. (Do not throw any of these people at your grandfather, please and thank you!)

Talk to Anakin!

[sith_happened]

Or try to throw a chair at him! Or both!

OOC

[sith_happened]

Wednesday again!
