Summer Shenanigans, Wednesday, June 22, 2022

Today was hot and humid, which meant that it was the perfect temperature for all of the water balloon-themed games Anakin had set out in the park today.

(Most of them were filled with water and that's all that matters, right?)

"As usual, you will be working in teams," Anakin shouted through his megaphone. "There are various stations for you to attempt! The most accurate team wins!"

Did anyone even care about winning these days?

"Listen for your names!"

TEAM ARMED & DANGEROUS
Rosa
Dwight
Steph
Sakaki
Guillermo
Buck

TEAM BUCKET
Libby
Scott
Watts
Alara
Diego
Will

TEAM HANDS OFF MY WATER BALLOONS
Wanda
Vi
Annie
Irene
Jo
Stark

TEAM STABBY WATER BALLOON
Beaker
Amaya
Graham
Gray
Connor
Steve M

Get good spots! Eat delightful snacks! Avoid looking at Anakin!

Steve had some spare time before heading up to New York for a few days, so here he was, enjoying snacks!

For once, Kurt's name hadn't been called and so he settled back to watch the fun from an outside vantage point for once.

These t-shirts aren't so bad, right? Well, other than that third team's.

Edited 2022-06-22 14:57 (UTC)

Yeah, Wanda was on the third team and was horribly embarrassed by her shirt.

So she'd just be standing here with her arms across her chest.

"Wanda. Oh my God," Annie greeted her, having adopted a very similar posture.

Across the way, Irene was basically modeling hers for anyone who'd look at her, but clearly something was wrong with that woman.

"Do you think we could turn them inside out, maybe?" That had never worked at shenanigans before, but she'd also never felt mortified quite this way by her shirt before, either.

"Anakin." That was said in a very disapproving but somehow very resigned tone.

Stark very quickly pulled his new shirt on then just looked down at it in dismay.

"Hell yeah, Stabby Water Balloon," Steve said, grinning as he put his shirt on.

He'd be wearing this on regular days too, thanks.

Steph was amused enough by her team's shirts, and maybe scheming to steal one of the adorable pufferfish ones, but oof, team 3's shirt. Oof. She was too busy feeling sorry for Vi and Stark and Annie and their teammates to put too much thought into a pufferfish t-shirt heist, luckily for team 4.

Careful, Steph, or you might be subjected to a sad puppy eye.

And a resigned little shrug. There was definitely that.

"He does this on purpose."

Watts just sighed and pulled off his suit-jacket and waistcoat, leaving them in a not-so-neat pile topped off with his hat in a place that should at least be well beyond the splash zone.

At least now he had something to wear for laundry day?

See, now, this was just cute and wholesome ans Libby kind of loved this week's shirt? Not even her father would find it objectionable!

She might have felt a little disappointed, but she figured it was best to just count her blessings with this one.

Connor had been enjoying a bit of people watching when he suddenly heard his name called out.

"Me? Again? Awe come on mate, this is one of me good shirts!"

Connor would learn, eventually, to 1- expect the unexpected on the island, especially during shenanigans, and 2- best to leave the good shirts at home on most occasions.

Irene was, indeed, basically modeling her shirt, because it was so kitschy and ugly and she sort of loved it.

It was just a shame there wasn't nearly enough time to pop back home and remove her bra for extra effect.

"Oh no," said Amaya, staring at her shirt and trying to figure out what to do with this sudden urge, this sudden need to get herself a pufferfish.

Oh, this was much better than the Jesus socks. Gray would not be giving this shirt away. In fact, he would be wearing this shirt a lot.

Always a classic. The first two members of your team (Rosa and Dwight; Libby and Scott; Wanda and Vi; Beaker and Amaya)--each armed with a water balloon because Anakin likes to make things difficult--line up across from each other. You toss and catch the balloons, then take three steps back each and repeat the process until a balloon breaks.

And the balloons are filled with red Kool-Aid. Surprise!

[OOC: RNG says the winners go:
Hands Off My Water Balloons

Stabby Water Balloon

"Meep meep meep mee!" Beaker said optimistically, holding up his water balloon and waving at Amaya.

Dwight looked across the way and gave a slight sigh. This was fine right? Rosa surely wouldn't let personal vendettas get in the way of the team winning right?

"Alright, gonna send it over" he said as he got ready to gently toss his water balloon over.

There was a giant dartboard in a different section of the park, and buckets full of water balloons filled with chocolate pudding. Working in pairs (Steph & Sakaki; Watts & Alara; Annie & Irene; Graham & Gray), you have to kick the balloons at the target. The first team to score two bulls-eyes wins.

How low can you go? Especially with distractions? There is a limbo pole! Your job is for both members of your team (Guillermo & Buck; Diego & Will; Jo & Stark; Connor & Steve) to get low without falling over or touching the pole while the members of the other teams are throwing water balloons--for once filled with water--at you.

Make those threads messy, folks. Aim at everyone!
