Characters: FISH OLYMPICS PARTICIPANTS and whoever wants to watch
Location: ISLAND
Time: Allllll dayyyyy
Style: First
Status: OPEN. threadhop, threadjack, be competitors

[ And thus with the opening of the festivities came the poor harassed native who had to run his way up through the elevator (he jogged in place) and all the way around the island to the beach where the majority of the events would occur--

Carrying one of these beauties. Yes, that is a glowstick trident.

The natives are cheapskates, okay.

Regardless, there is quite the crowd there watching you all compete. May the...best (?) team win? ]


WEDNESDAY - WATER PAINT BALL

[ in the small, pleasant forested area near the elevator, there have been left what look like, well, bazooka launchers. Your ammo? Water balloons with colored water in them. It’s hard to say what the natives put into them, but that color sticks. You can throw the balloons or you can shoot them at each other or really, anything goes.

The team with the last person standing, not soaked and not colorful, wins!

This is a full team event, and friendly fire is a thing, so be careful! Or don’t. That’s cool too.]


THURSDAY - FLY FISH SKIING

[ viewable from a distance, there are 8 platforms set out in the ocean, each with a large banner hanging above them with each team’s respective betta printed on them. tied to the platforms and ready for racing are four of these per team (each about the size of ice skates); they appear to be in a set of two, if the way the harnesses connect two together is anything to go by. contestants are expected to strap them on their feet, and use bridles for steering. they’re a little tricky to maneuver and can be a bit temperamental, so good luck!!

the racing course is set to a marker about a half of a mile out at sea; retrieving the flag and bringing it back first makes you the winner! ]


FRIDAY - SAND CASTLE BUILDING

[ build a sandcastle.

Kicking other team’s sandcastles over is probably against the rules but it’s not like anyone is watching so. Don’t build it too close to the waves, either; you don’t want them washing away your work of art. Your tools are buckets, shovels and whatever you can find on the beach.

Go wild.]


FRIDAY - SWIMMING RACE

[ contestants will swim a pre-set track, spanning across the course both above water and underwater. the track is marked by buoys above, and hoops below. the underwater section appears about halfway through the course. the participant to reach the end of the course first wins! hopefully you’re a good swimmer. ]

MEDICAL TENT

[ the head nurse arranged for this citing that she knows you're all a bunch of idiots. ]

As an added note, we know some of this stuff isn’t the easiest to play out--but this is also a great space for team shenanigans before and after the events as well. Feel free to use this log for things like that as well!

TEAM 4

[Asato stands by the... thing his team just created and tilts his head on the side, thoughtful.]

Guys... Do you really think that it looks like a castle ?

[Gamzee tilts his head slightly, rubbing the back of his neck as he looks at their... 'castle'.]

Looks all like one what did up and get fuckin' wrecked by a sea storm.

[Xion bites her lip, attempting to come up with something redeeming to say for the sorry looking thing.]

...at least it's got a castle-y shape to it?
applepies: (DOUBTFUL)

[personal profile] applepies 2012-07-15 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes... With a lot of imagination...

[He stares at it for a moment more, before he reaches up, laying a hand on each of their shoulders.]

Ain't so motherfuckin' reason to get our glum on right? Maybe we can still up and be makin' a miracle out of this brother here.

[Well, they are going to need a miracle if they even want to looking vaguely castle-y.]

[She siezes up for a moment at the unfamiliar contact. Xion was learning quickly the kind of friendly character Gamzee was in all of this fisholympics business.

She is decidedly more preocupied with the sandcastle, though. Sliding her sunglasses back up the bridge of her nose, she studies it through the tinted lenses.]


You think adding something might help?
angelphones: (look at it this way)

slkdfj sorry for the late

[personal profile] angelphones 2012-07-17 02:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[Katsu just... stares at the 'castle' and kneels to try to pat up one of the sides.]

Maybe if we add some seashells or something to it?

no worries.

[personal profile] 420 2012-07-17 04:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah!

[He likes that idea.]

Get this fuckin' sand crib all blinged the fuck out.
applepies: (?)

[personal profile] applepies 2012-07-18 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
Ok ! [Yes, seashells, perfect ! And look, some twigs too...]

Those could make some... err... mini trees ?
imaginarytides: (♣ no more living life behind a shadow)

[personal profile] imaginarytides 2012-07-18 05:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[You had her at seashells]

These ones might be nice!

...although the actual castle might need some fixing if these things are going to stay on. What do you guys think?
angelphones: (hmm...)

[personal profile] angelphones 2012-07-18 07:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Probably... I'm not that great at making sand castles, but I can try to get this to stick together better. I think the sand might be too dry.
applepies: (TEEHEE)

[personal profile] applepies 2012-07-19 10:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Water, yes, that seems to be a good idea ! [Without waiting for the others' answer, Asato happily rushes to the water, Cinnamon on his heels.

Yes, he forgot the bucket.]

[To be honest, it is a good thing he did! Buckets are... a little different where Gamzee's from. Gosh. Seeing alla that in public. Boy.

Instead he turns to Xion, giving her a grin.]


'Bout us motherfucker up and all be about collecting some rad fuckin' shells for our sandcrib?
