Fun Run for Teal Deer - The Park, Friday [most of the day]

[fh-anonymous.livejournal.com]

In the morning, the event coordinators came to start setting up the park for today's event. They set up a bunch of extra benches and picnic tables for people to congregate at and marked off the run area to keep it clear for the participants. They also set up water stations along the race way just in case anybody needed them. This wasn't going to be a marathon, or even an actual race, but if anybody didn't want to stop running they might want the water.

The park was decorated with ribbons and bunting for the event. Mostly in teal. There were tables set up with modable picnic-type foods and a special table set up for a DJ to play music.

It wasn't long before the park was ready and waiting for people to come and participate and to cheer the runners on.

[[OOC: Please wait for OCD. OCD is ready to go. It may be a little bit before you get a response in the second two threads, but feel free to talk to each other.

The monster thread is ready to go! If you arrive late, feel free to jump in there.

The finale has started (due to some player availability and mine as well). Feel free to help Rory sing badly.

And part two of the finale has kicked off. Aly and Rikku are heading the expulsion of the beasties.]]

Watch [PRE-START]

Come, gather, talk and eat before the race starts. There is plenty of free food and drink and plenty of places to sit.

Willow was there with a wee picnic and a cheer-giving attitude.

Mary was ready to cheer everyone on, though she didn't plan on doing any running herself.

Setsuna would have liked to have done the run, but with the wound on her arm and her promise to Alphonse that she'd take things easy until it was healed, she was just settling down to be a spectator.

Having finished most of her preparations for the weekend, Aly wandered over to park to check out the goings on of this race.

Aravis was there to watch, though she wasn't quite sure she understood what was happening.

Adam had decided to check the race out. He was all for cheering people on.

A lot of commotion usually meant that you had to keep an eye on things so Roy decided to check out the run today. The free food and lack of paperwork definitely were in its favour too.

Robin had a weetiny pennant for waving as he took a seat in the bleachers.

Participate [PRE-START]

[fh-anonymous.livejournal.com]

Come stretch out and psych up (or out) your fellow runners before the race starts.

Re: Participate [PRE-START]

[socksofcool.livejournal.com]

Seely began stretching.

After her workshop, Mel headed over to the park to participate in the run.

Of course wearing combat boots to run laps around the park may not be the best idea.

Turtle's there, stretching out, but mostly wishing she could just have a bike instead of running. Oh, the things she does to establish some sort of philanthropy.

Peter wasn't much of a runner but he figured he could keep a good jog going long enough to do some good.

Ronan was stretching, getting ready to run a few laps. Charity was always a good thing.

Andros had decided to participate in the run so he started stretching.

John began stretching. He enjoyed running and had been looking forward to the event.

Savannah figured that she could do some running for a good cause.

Watch the start [READY, SET... UH, WHAT WAS THAT?]

[fh-anonymous.livejournal.com]

The run is about to begin. The runners are on the starting line. The starter has a flag in the air ready to drop when all of a sudden, meteorites start to fall from the sky. Unlike normal meteorites however, these are not coming down in a fiery rain. These are coming in fast, but they land with only enough force to crack them open. What's inside? Well, you'll have to go take a look.

Willow eeped and wondered WTF was going on.

Step up, runners! [READY, SET... UH, WHAT WAS THAT?]

[fh-anonymous.livejournal.com]

Runners, step up to the starting line!

Mel blinked as she watched some of the meteorites fall to the ground.

"What the ruttin' hell is this?" she asked as she slowly approached the meteorites.

BUT, WAIT! WHAT'S THIS!?

Chad had just about finished setting up the DJ equipment as people started to get ready to run, and so he quick did what he needed to do to set up the CDs he needed for his Fun Run One (http://senor-chado.livejournal.com/26184.html) mix (Fun Run Two would be just as awesome, even if not so...rhyming). He was just thrilled to be in charge of providing the music to help everyone run along with. Because dude. Music. Ruled all.

Of course, he was noticing all the meteorites coming from the sky, but sudden meteorites can't stop the signal music. He kept it going...especially since he was too busy melting inside at the cuteness that was starting to clamor out of the shells.

He hoped they liked Queen.

FINALE!

In the DJ booth, Chad was a little too...stunned about all the cute things turning suddenly...not so cute. But the music seemed to be a pretty encouraging soundtrack to battle to (it was like an anime!), so he hadn't done anything but stare until he realized that the first mix was about to end.

Wanting to keep up the morale but unable to keep his eyes away from the scene, he reached to grab what he thought was his Fun Run Two mix and put it into the system.

The whole scene was bizarre enough that it even took him a while to realize that instead of hearing the rockin' sounds of his own basslines with the Teal Dear songs fronting it, he was hearing something much, much worse...

"Cause I'm as free-ee as a bi-ird now.....And this bird you can not cha-a-a-a-a-ange."

Oh, hell.

That would be his Songs to Never, Ever, Ever Listen to Mix.

...It would be on the Spice Girls soon. Then Britney. Then New Kids...

Chad was too stunned by bad music to move. Why did he even make a CD like that?
