Wednesday Afternoon Activity - The Park (Periods 4-6)

[ismyhairout.livejournal.com]

Hades had the microphone and spoke to the students that were around. "Since classes are a little light on Wednesdays and we don't want you charming little citizens of the future running around manic like you usually do, there's gonna be a thing on Wednesday afternoons. Today involves as little effort from me as possible.

You might or might not have heard of improv or Theatersports. Basically, there's a game, you're given a prompt, a few people jump in to participate and they make it up as they go along.

We'll be running a few games at a time all afternoon, so yeah, walk around, join in, get roped in, whatever. I don't care."

[OOC: This is being held in the park so that all Fandomites can join in - namely, townies are more than welcome to participate. There will be threads for each game. Ping in and pair up or team up in each game. You can have a few attempts if you want. The idea is to use the prompt and then try to make a scene up as you go along. Further details specific to each game will be in the thread. Wait for OCD! OCD done!]

[ETA: Weather modded. It's not raining.]

Mingle

[ismyhairout.livejournal.com]

Hooray for general mingling! There's a table with finger food and non-alcoholic drinks off to the side or you can just enjoy the park. There's the pond, playground, etc. Usual things.

Claire arrived straight from lunch, but found herself by the table anyway. There was lemonade, and she could do with that.

Naomi got some food and mingled.

Annette grabbed a finger sandwich and walked around, looking at everyone else mingling.

Like Neil could stand to miss this, no way!

Besides, free food!

Jeff was here. The park still made him a little nervous, but the food was a comforting presence. He may have had pawprints on his forehead.

Turtle didn't have to work today! She was so excited about having a new employee to do crap on Mondays and Wednesdays and it showed as she horded up on yummy finger foods.

There was free food and drinks. Gabriel appreciated that. He had thought it might be interesting to get an impression of the students too, but when he saw them crowding this place he wasn't so sure anymore.

As he did the mingling thing and looked around a bit at what the activity was, Chad was glad he came, but he knew he'd be mostly watching. This sort of thing wasn't exactly his cup of tea.

An afternoon activity; that was intriguing. Setsuna didn't know what to expect, but she didn't have anything better to do, for the most part, so she thought she'd check it out.

John left his tidy room at the hotel for some exploring. At the park. With people. Where did all the people come from?

Charlie went to the park to see what the event would be, and picked up a plate of food and a drink while she waited for things to get started.

Where there is food, there's a Marco.

Yay soda and finger foods! Robin got a fizzy lemonade, and some cookies. He was close to bouncing with excitement.

ABC Game

[ismyhairout.livejournal.com]

The first person to ping into a round has to begin their sentence with a word with the letter A. The next person has to start their sentence with the letter B. Whoever pings in next (new person or the original) has to use C and so on all the way down to the letter Z. Feel free to start a new round at any time.

Annette was thinking. She could use her own name, but naaah...

"And that is why vampire children are taught never to run with wooden stakes."

She'd heard that from Jack Handy! somewhere before, she was certain.

Charlie decided to break up with an imaginary boyfriend in the style of Shakespeare.

"Parting! Is not sweet sorrow!" Wow, she felt silly. "That I shall say good bye, and you should follow!"

Re: In the Style Of...

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

River decided to fight over the remote control slasher film style. It included very few words and a lot of violent fighting using imaginary weapons. There probably wasn't much left of either the remote control or the opponent after the fight.

Scenes From a Hat

[ismyhairout.livejournal.com]

Everyone can join in! The idea is to use the prompt and come up with your own brief response to it. Go for the funny.

Scene From A Hat: Things you'll never hear in the teacher's lounge

[ismyhairout.livejournal.com]

"I always knew Jamie Madrox would be valedictorian."

Superheroes

[ismyhairout.livejournal.com]

The first person is to give themself a ridiculous superhero name (like Can't-Really-Rollerskate Man) and leap into the scene, acting like you're living up to your superhero name. Your task: to discover who has stolen Fandom's glitter supply! Anyone who joins in after the first person will be given a ridiculous superhero name that they must live up to (ie: if you're Sings-Like-Cher Girl, start singing everything like Cher or break out into Cher songs in your pings).
(Suggestions for names if you're stuck: Caught in a Wind Tunnel Boy, Channels the Spirits of Farm Animals Guy, Captain Luau, Temper Tantrum Kid, Jazz Hands Girl)

Re: Superheroes

"Egads!" Mel cried out. "Someone has stolen the glitter supply! This looks like a job for Girl-with-no-sense-of-personal-space-or-boundaries!"

Other Games

[ismyhairout.livejournal.com]

Make a sub-thread and suggest a game! Rope other people into playing! Use exclamation marks!

Questions Only!

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

Annette bounced excitedly and hoped for a partner for this game. It was so much fun to play!

We don't want the world to end. Well, Hades does, but the rest of us don't.
