Summer Games: Wednesday, The Park [morning]

[sith_happened]

"Good morning!" Anakin yelled into the megaphone from the small platform he had erected in the park. "Students, please listen for your names and find your partner or partners as your name is called: Sidon and Aloy; Jason and Rey; Bobby and Paris; Ahsoka and Uma; Theron and Peridot; Astrid and Norman; Tip, Sabine and Beaker."

Once the students were in place, Anakin held up a sheaf of paper in his hand. "Today, with the help of the proprietors in town, we're conducting a Scavenger Hunt. You have a very long list: You must find 15 of the items from that list and either take a picture or video of yourselves completing the tasks. Whoever completes their 15 in the shortest amount of time will win the coveted, terrifying, singing fish," he said, holding his hand out for it to fly to him. It was still shrieking Sabotage as it flew, but now it also rained confetti on anyone close enough to be in its flight path. As Anakin held it, it treated the entire group to holographic footage of Theron being chased by a Roomba.

You're welcome, Theron.

"Right," Anakin said slowly. "Someone come take this thing from me as quickly as possible. On your marks, get set, go."

And Cristina would dearly appreciate that, even while being annoyed at his shoulder being burned through by nothing she was even remotely familiar with.

"Some kind of herb?" she guessed. "Heck, bring that by too, sometime. I've got a PhD in biochemistry. I bet I can find a local equivalent."

She wasn't going to trash talk traditional remedies without at least finding out what they were. Plenty of modern medicines had started out as "useful herbs".

"Nah, it's chemical," Kanan replied. And then went for broke, here. "We call it bacta. It's a sort of gel..."

He waved a hand.

"Tell you what," he said, "you tell me when to find you at the clinic, and I'll swing by with a bacta patch. I'd love to see if there is an equivalent around here."

You know. On Earth.

"I'm there most days, but will be posting it on Fridays" Cristina said. "Swing by any time. There's only so much of the nurses' chatter I can handle before I start going crazy." She looked over at the gathering students, many of whom were distinctly not standard humans. "Crazier."

"I'll make a point to stop by," Kanan replied, smiling faintly. "Maybe after all the swordplay on Fridays. With bacta," he added. "Hopefully not actually with any injuries."

Sorry, Cristina.

"Hopefully," Cristina agreed. She didn't actually want people to get hurt. It just made her days more interesting when they did.
