Summer Shenanigans, Wednesday, May 22, 2024

[sith_happened]

Anakin was feeling particularly inspired today, which was why when people arrived for Shenanigans (or made their ill-advised way through the park not realizing it was a Wednesday), they would find a baseball field set up between the playground and the pond. The bleachers had been placed around it so everyone could live out their sudden need to watch a baseball game! The only tiny, tiny problem with this set-up? Anakin had absolutely no idea how baseball worked. Yes, he'd lived on Earth for twenty years. Yes, he'd married a person from Earth. But really, if you looked at Rory and thought "now there's a sports fan," well, that's entirely your mistake.

The field was correct--home plate, pitchers mound, three bases in a diamond--but everything else would get a little haywire. It was Shenanigans, you couldn't expect otherwise, could you?

"Welcome to Shenanigans!" Anakin yelled through the as-always unnecessary bullhorn. "Today we shall be divided into two baseball teams! Instead of shirts, you shall be receiving mascot outfits! I understand that is the real reason to attend a baseball game! Listen for your names, change into your baseball outfits--" sure, Anakin, go with that, "--and then I will explain the rules!"

This would go great.

Fandom Library, Wednesday

[afraid_of_marshmallows]

Arden was not feeling particularly productive today, and so spent most of her time when not busy with other tasks on her phone, looking up pictures of tattoos.

Look, sometimes you just wanted to make a permanent change to your body because you were feeling bad about other things. Arden was way too protective of her hair to go that route. Look, she was willing to trust other people's reviews of random tattoo artists, but she wasn't about to trust her hair until she found a hairdresser that met her standards. That just made sense.

The library seemed interested in helping though and every time she went to shelve books, new art books with paintings of birds seemed to have found their way onto the stack. And, you know, who was she to turn down the sentient library's assistance?
