Behind the Dorms, Tuesday After Workshops

The area behind the dorms looked like a trashnado (that’d be a tornado made of trash) had swept through it: items ranging in size from beads to pencils to furniture and even a few fallen logs were strewn all over the place. Lined up near the group’s assembly area was a small collection of lumpy-looking balls big enough that if you wanted to roll one of them around (why would you want to do that?) you’d need both hands to push. Yes, it was weird, but if it was any consolation there were cookies. Of course there were cookies. This year, it wouldn’t be a reserves meeting without cookies. And -- for some possibly unknown reason -- Skittles. A lot of Skittles. And dorky hats for anyone who wanted one.

...when it came to the Skittles, Kennedy would probably smirk a lot and tell you to taste the rainbow, because she thought she was clever. As for the hats, she had nothing.

“So hopefully you guys are keeping up with training outside of meetings, but last week was stealth,” she began with a mildly odd look; it had been a creative interpretation of the exercise, hadn’t it? “This week we’re doing a strength training exercise.”

“Those ball things there,” Zack said, nodding toward the brightly-colored lumpy things, “stick to anything that’s smaller than they are, and they make that small stuff sticky, too. And as the ball grows bigger, bigger things will stick to it, so long as they’re still smaller than the junkball! So, if you were to roll them around and run over maybe a bucket or a bunch of thumbtacks or a cat, they’d stick!” There was a moment’s pause while Zack went back and thought about all of the words that he’d just said. “Don’t run over any cats.”

“Or small animals in general,” Kennedy added. “Please.”

Jak peered at both of them curiously. “Unless it seems like fun,” he added. No, Jak. No. “You never know when you’re going to wind up fighting something that’s the size of a small dog.” Life lessons from Haven, ladies and gentlemen. Listen carefully.

Have cookies! Or Skittles. Taste the ~~King of All Cosmos’s~~ rainbow!

Or wonder what crack your leaders are on this week.

Ino was smiling slightly as she leaned against her tree and contemplated the mess they'd made of the area with amusement.

Oh dear.

. . . okay, yeah, Tahiri was laughing. Behind her hand, but the amusement in her eyes was hard to mistake.

"You're really short," Ben teased, walking up behind her. "Don't get stuck to one of those balls."

Tahiri stuck her tongue out at him. "Don't you think I'd notice? Besides, unless someone actually manages to gather enough stuff to make it bigger than me, I doubt I'll stick to it."

No, Ben, that wasn't a suggestion.

"Do you think I could?"

"I'd love to see you get enough stuff stuck to that thing first," Tahiri replied, tossing a Skittle at him. "I bet you'd make squeaky noises if I rolled you up on one."

So not dirty.

"I don't make squeaky noises," Ben declared inaccurately.

Tahiri's eyebrows crept rapidly and steadily upward. "Oh, is that so? I'm sure I can come up with more than a few occasions where you have."

He blushed. "Most of them don't count," he decided.

"Oh, really?" Tahiri tossed another Skittle at him. "And why don't they count, exactly?"

"Because you were kissing me at the time, and most people don't get to do that," he replied, blushing.

Kurt just stared at everything. And munched on a cookie.

"Is this NORMAL where you're from?" he had to ask.

Leda really did think Kurt was a very cute boy without the disguise. So she wasn't quite staring, but if he ever glanced in her direction she'd wink.

Kurt shifted worriedly. He wasn't sure why Leda was looking at him that way, but it was making him nervous.

"Afternoon handsome." she said.

Squall was Not Amused. Sure, he wasn't ever amused, but this was an epic level of Not Amused.

Humans were strange.

Just when she thought she had a grasp on just how strange, they had to go and prove to Firekeeper that they could be even odder.

Still, the candies were good.

Leda scratched her head. "Are we gonna stick to this thing too?"

Katniss couldn't eat Skittles without thinking of Rue, so she immediately went for the cookies. She preferred them anyway.

Goose would just be there staring from where he was at the back of the group.

Asuna eyed the mess around her, and reached for more skittles.

James was here for the cookies. Mostly.

The ball was giving him ideas, however...

It really will grow bigger as it accumulates (moddable) debris and items. Deity of your choice help you if you try to play katamari chicken with each other, though.

Ino eyed the ball she was supposed to roll around dubiously for a long moment before shrugging and getting to it.

Rolling the ball became a lot more interesting once it'd gotten stuff on it, yes.

Kurt managed the Katamari just fine at first, but then it got bigger and heavier and was hard to push. Then he rolled over some long logs that stuck at weird angles so that the ball didn't roll very well, and that just caused all sorts of problems.

Squall eyed the katamaris. "No."

Asuna started rolling the Katamari, it was easy at first, she could handle rolling it when a bag, a plate and a doll stuck to the katamari and then things got more interesting. She was strong but it was challenging when she picked up an electric fan and a small bicycle.

Why would anyone put a small bike here?

When they ping in. Hopefully not stuck to someone’s katamari.

Zack was there, and maybe, possibly, quite probably contemplating pulling on one of those dorky hats, too.

What? They looked like fun!

Kennedy was not contemplating one of the goofy hats, nor was she having any Skittles. A cautiously nibbled cookie while looking out for runaway katamaris though...

It was a totally weird exercise, but she secretly thought it looked like a lot of fun. She... might have to take a crack at it later. 'cause really.

Jak was there. Jak was... actively contemplating what would happen if he rolled one of these things over a couple of Metal Heads.

Jak's brain was not other people's brains.

Just a little bit of pre-BDE crack. This is what happens when gamer dorks are in charge.

HAHAHAHAHA! *LOVES ON THIS POST*

TOTALLY

puppy_fair's idea, but IT HAD TO HAPPEN.

Aww, but you totally brought most of the awesome to the yard, since I was drooling on myself for most of the post-writing. <3

I C WUT U DID THAR.
