Summer Shenanigans, June 3, 2026

[sith_happened]

Anakin was back in the park, surrounded by stations.

The good news was that none of them looked messy.

The bad news was that his shirts this week were especially hideous.

"Today you will complete seven tasks," Anakin yelled through his megaphone. "When you touch a task envelope in any way, you must complete it before looking inside another envelope. Fastest wins! Listen for your names:

Stark
Steve R.
Vi
Hannibal
Henry
Steve M.
Jonathan
Aphra
Rey
Flint
Sairis."

Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[sith_happened]

Those shirts are a lot.

"Wow," Steve said, blinking at his hippo-faced monstrosity. "These are...wow."

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[giveittoyoursister]

"What's wrong with its teeth?" Vi asked, not putting the shirt on.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[grenadesandohana]

"So many things," Steve said, shuddering.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[giveittoyoursister]

"I vote for it being a no shirt day," Vi said, having sincere concerns about the shirt trying to eat her if she tried wearing it.

[grenadesandohana]

"I vote for taking them off the island before they come to life and chase us through the streets," Steve muttered. "But if it happened on Monday, it'd give me something to do at work..."

Steve, no.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[giveittoyoursister]

Yeah, no.

"Mondays are busy enough as is," Vi said as she looked for somewhere to conceal the shirt.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[grenadesandohana]

Steve nodded at a thick bush perfect for stuffing shirts into. "What keeps you busy on Monday?" he asked.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[giveittoyoursister]

"Got work," Vi replied, shoving the shirt into the bush. Which she had totally been at despite forgetting to post, shut up. "And two classes this time around."

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[stykera]

Stark groaned. And sighed. And then stared in horror at the shirt.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[thatsmysword]

"Right, no looking a gift horse in the mouth and everything, but..."

Apparently even Henry had found his limit.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[fears_no_one]

"There's whatever the fuck these are?" Flint finished for him.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[thatsmysword]

"I may have seen something like it in a book once?"

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[fears_no_one]

Flint had zero idea what the shirts had on them. "Terrifying horse thing?"

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[thatsmysword]

"I don't think it's a horse," Henry said pensively. "Some kind of pig?"

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[fears_no_one]

"Horse-pig," Flint said, squinting as he thought about the terrifying crime against God that breeding experiment must have been.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[sharp_man]

Hannibal raised an eyebrow at the shirt, and then rolled it up into a sash so the only thing visible was gradients of brown and tied it around his waist.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[thatwaslucky]

So this shirt was horrifying. Rey tended to recycle or donate clothes when she was done with them (yes, even shenanigans shirts, have fun, Goodwill) but this needed to go in a burn pile. Immediately after this.

She debated putting it on inside out but the thought of the teeth facing her actual body was too weird.

[sairis]

Sairis had initially thought all clothes were good clothes if they were free. He was revising that opinion.
