[ Outside near the movie screen, there are two redhead fathers, surrounded by speakers, large buckets of popcorn, and ready for some sportz. ]

The antenna's set up right, isn't it? Great! Now all we have to do is test it out and--

[BRZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ]

[BRZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ]OH GOD[BRZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ]WHAT WENT WRONG? IS THAT STATIC?[BRZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ]BEES? DID WE KNOCK DOWN A BEES NEST OR SOMETHING-- TURN IT OFF[BRZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ]

[ ooc; Nagi and Spirit wanted to celebrate Father's day belatedly with some SPORTS WATCHIN'. Cue trying to hook up the movie screen to an antennae + leftover speakers from Sheryl's concert, and you get to watch the World Cup on your island! Ever wonder what 30,000 Vuvuzelas sound like from a concert-quality sound system and there is no off or volume button?

Well, the entire island does for the rest of the day. (people who enjoy the World Cup are welcome to watch it on the movie screen for the day if they can endure the vuvuzela)

(IN CASE YOU WANT APPROPRIATE BACKGROUND NOISE WHILE TAGGING.) ]

[trying to look inside the speakers oh god]

[daddyhasissues.livejournal.com]

DO. YOU. SEE. ANYTHING?

[minmaxedmage.livejournal.com]

I DUNNO! THIS BLACK THING IS VIBRATIN' REAL FAST. SHOULD I PUNCH IT?

[daddyhasissues.livejournal.com]

WHAT IF YOU BREAK IT?

[minmaxedmage.livejournal.com]

WHAT IF THERE ARE BEES INSIDE?!

[daddyhasissues.livejournal.com]

... YOU CAN RISK IT IF YOU WANT.

[minmaxedmage.livejournal.com]

BUT I DON'T WANNA MISS EVERYONE SCREAMIN' AND YELLIN' WHEN A GOAL IS SCORED!

[daddyhasissues.livejournal.com]

BUT HOW DO WE GET RID OF THE BUZZING NOI--

... [ glancing up on the screen to actually see the horns in an audience shot ]

1/2

[minmaxedmage.livejournal.com]

[following your eyes and]

[minmaxedmage.livejournal.com]

Bloody hell.

[daddyhasissues.livejournal.com]

... That has to be illegal.

[minmaxedmage.livejournal.com]

If this is some South African pride crap....

[daddyhasissues.livejournal.com]

Pride? But-- but it's horns.

Bee horns.

[minmaxedmage.livejournal.com]

How huge are their lungs?! They're just not stopping!

[daddyhasissues.livejournal.com]

I don't get i--

-- Goal. Goal!

[minmaxedmage.livejournal.com]

Wait, what?! I missed it! HOW CAN YOU TELL?!

[daddyhasissues.livejournal.com]

I could just barely hear the announcer!

[minmaxedmage.livejournal.com]

[staring at the screen again]

Is that Portugal and....who??

[daddyhasissues.livejournal.com]

... North Korea, I think!

[minmaxedmage.livejournal.com]

Can they even play football?

[daddyhasissues.livejournal.com]

... Well, if their score is any indication--

[minmaxedmage.livejournal.com]

That's a big fat no.

[daddyhasissues.livejournal.com]

[ commercial break! ]

I can hear again!

[minmaxedmage.livejournal.com]

There has gotta be some kind of ethics law against this.

[daddyhasissues.livejournal.com]

I don't think my ears are going to ever stop ringing.

[minmaxedmage.livejournal.com]

If it's like this the whole World Cup, I'm gonna die.

[daddyhasissues.livejournal.com]

They can't do that, right?

...

Right?

[minmaxedmage.livejournal.com]

I'll leave this island and knock some sense into them!

[daddyhasissues.livejournal.com]

How?

[minmaxedmage.livejournal.com]

...very carefully.

[daddyhasissues.livejournal.com]

... good luck.

[Stein has followed the source of the constant BRZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ-ing and is on a mission to stop the god-awful noise. He holds his hand out expectantly because, as every handyman knows, there's no better way to fix a speaker than beating the hell out of it with a scythe.]

[minmaxedmage.livejournal.com]

Yo! Be careful of the bees around here!

[donteatmyliver.livejournal.com]

I don't think that's a bee. I think that's supposed to be music.

[minmaxedmage.livejournal.com]

That's a load of crap.

[donteatmyliver.livejournal.com]

No, really. I think it's coming from those nice South Africans with the horns. I think they're making the brzzz sound.

...Calling it "music" may have been a stretch.

[daddyhasissues.livejournal.com]

...

This is not my fault.

[donteatmyliver.livejournal.com]

Perhaps not, but the hole that's going to show up in the middle of the TV in about 45 seconds will be. [His fingers are twitching] I'll accept some of the blame for that too if it makes you feel better.

[daddyhasissues.livejournal.com]

...

No, no, here, let's... try to fix it. [ Taking your hand aaand it's scythe time! ]

[donteatmyliver.livejournal.com]

[Pole-vaults his way up to the top of the speaker, dragging his handy-dandy bff along with him to get a better look at the wires. On one hand, it is a great vantage point. But on the other...]

BZRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[And then, he starts swinging away wildly at the wires to make the vuvuzelas stop.]

[daddyhasissues.livejournal.com]

-- They're not stopping! Isn't this supposed to be a normal speaker?

[donteatmyliver.livejournal.com]

Nothing on this island is ever normal! [He keeps hacking away at the speaker, even though it's doing absolutely balls. Stein refuses to believe that the thing that finally defeats them is a giant speaker with 30,000 annoying-ass instruments as backup] An invincible sound system is an improvement from the other day, at least.
