Behind the Dorms, Tuesday Afternoon

[puppy_fair]

Arthur not being about meant that Zack pretty much had free reign over the reserves today, and so the first thing that people might notice would be the table that he'd set out with cookies, donuts, muffins, and juice. He might never be able to get away with it again, he was going to take it where he could get it!

Of course, no Arthur also meant that Zack was kind of winging it, with today's actual content. Fear.

"So, since most of what we've been doing lately is kind of limited to discussion, today we're going to try something completely different!" Because that would totally work well. "Physical tests of patience, endurance, and teamwork! I want each of you to grab a partner, someone you don't know all that well, if possible. And then come here, get a piece of rope, stand side-by-side, and tie your two closest legs together."

Yes. This was Zack's idea of a test of endurance. Be happy he hadn't pulled out the potato sacks.

"And then I want you to run from here to the wall of the dorm building and back, as fast as you can go, without falling on your faces! It's harder than it looks!"

This was why Zack was not often left in charge.

[OCD on the way, cooperation from LJ pending up!]

Arrive! Mingle! Eat!

[puppy_fair]

Real spread of snack foods!

Quick! Take advantage of it while you can!

All right, so she'd accepted the inevitability of snacks. And now she was going to partake of juice and a muffin.

Had to have energy to boggle at Zack a bit, after all.

Jennifer smiled. Yes, she'd missed a bunch of these meetings. But she was at this one, darn it. And she kinda liked seeing Zack in his element, after all.

Ino was there.

Up in a tree and wishing she'd been able to convince herself to ditch this meeting, but there. Radiating misery.

Illyria would be leaning against a tree, tasting a cruller for the first time, and contemplating the criteria under which she would actually allow herself to be chained to a human and forced to run in stride with them.

Hell froze over so easily these days.

Tahiri kind of looked like she'd had better days, yes. Just not, you know, terribly recently, and for all that she wouldn't be winning any awards for perky here she seemed to be in a fairly decent mood. (Hey, she'd had one of her bad nightmares and didn't remember it. That wasn't that much of a bad thing.)

Pastries and juice helped with that, too, so thanks, Zack!

Ben walked over to Tahiri and leaned in for a hug, not saying a word.

Re: Arrive! Mingle! Eat!

[weetuskenraider]

Tahiri didn't ask any questions, at least not yet. She wrapped her arms around him tightly, projecting comfort.

Re: Arrive! Mingle! Eat!

[momslilassassin]

"Long night," he murmured, clinging tightly.

Re: Arrive! Mingle! Eat!

[weetuskenraider]

"Yeah, no kidding. You feel like you're worn out." He could cling as much as he wanted right now, as far as Tahiri was concerned. "Anything I can do?"

Food good. Juice good. Dinah semi-conscious. Yawn.

Wolves never passed up an opportunity for food, so of course Firekeeper was going to take advantage. Blind Seer... not so much. A wolf-shaped wolf's stomach just didn't have much use for most human kinds of food.

Fiona skittered in from work, tucking her phone resolutely away.

Three-Legged Race!

[puppy_fair]

Because leapfrog wouldn't have had the same 'teamwork' feel to it.

Pair off, and then run from here to the wall and back. If you manage to make it all the way, try again, even faster!

Dragging your partner behind you if they trip may or may not be an option.

Re: Three-Legged Race!

[brat_inslayage]

Don't think Kennedy wouldn't at least seriously consider the partner-dragging thing, if it came down to that. She wasn't huge on the whole teamwork thing here.

Talk to the Guys!

[puppy_fair]

When they've pinged in!

Re: Talk to the Guys!

[puppy_fair]

Zack was grinning and leaning back against a tree, with his arms crossed over his chest. Physical activity, in his reserves? It was more likely than you'd think!

... Please, nobody tell Arthur about this. Zack would not be long for this world.

Re: Talk to the Guys!

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

"So, do we have to tie ourselves to someone we don't know too well?" Jennifer asked.

Re: Talk to the Guys!

[puppy_fair]

"Nah," Zack laughed, shaking his head a little. "All of our exercises are optional, considering this isn't really a military, and I'm hardly a drill sergeant or something."

Re: Talk to the Guys!

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

Jennifer was thankfully not a frat boy, or she'd have said something like 'Well, I'd sure like you to drill me, sergeant.'

"Got it," she actually said. And then, because apparently she couldn't stay on topic, she asked "When's our second date?"

Re: Talk to the Guys!

[puppy_fair]

Zack took a moment to very, very carefully consider all of his optio--

"Thursday? How's your Thursday?"

... Okay, never mind considering. There was merry bouncing to be done.

Re: Talk to the Guys!

Leto didn't object to Zack's efforts. Unlike Arthur he didn't object to feeding people, although he might not have made that choice himself. Anyway, he was here and very approachable.

OOC

[puppy_fair]

*Eyes LJ* It actually behaved long enough for me to post my OCD today. I shall allow it to live another day.

Re: OOC

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

I remembered to tag in! *victory theme*

Hooray! Strike a pose!
