Wednesday Shenanigans, Wednesday, July 25, 2018

Today was another venue shift--this time to the cleared out patch in the Preserve where the student cabins used to be located.

Those who arrived would find themselves surrounded by cut logs, nails, saws, and other construcion material.

Would Anakin use the weekly shenanigans as an excuse to get free labor out of the island inhabitants? Darn right he would.

"Today we're going to do a bit of a riff on the Lumberjack Games," he began, yelling through his megaphone. "But carefully because losing limbs is no one's idea of a good time."

And he'd know. Cough. "First we'll work in pairs to slice through five logs each, and then we'll race up those tall trees and retrieve the flags I've set there. Afterwards, we'll award the fish and everyone is welcome to help us begin to rebuild the cabins so that we can camp again."

He waved his hand and the fish--beautifully rainbowed and shiny now---and into his hand. He looked pleasantly suprised by its appearance. "Right. Hernando and Zack have clearly gone to a lot of trouble this week, so don't set the poor thing on fire again, okay?"

Steve clapped his hands eagerly and jogged over to a likely pile of logs. "This will be fun!" he said enthusiastically.

Rosa's week was so messed up that she was actually kind of looking forward to whatever stupid thing the school worked up for this Wednesday distracting her from her own stupid thoughts. And as soon as she saw all the construction materials her eyebrows lifted.

Huh. She might actually even enjoy this one...

Kitty couldn't do this one, but she could watch. She even had popcorn.

Ino laughed.

"Losing limbs is a great time," she said, mostly to Silly, who was watching the proceedings from her shoulder with beady black eyes. "He's totally wrong."

So long as it wasn't her losing the limbs, it was totally a blast.

Ahsoka put her lightsabers away. Reluctantly.

Well, this should be...interesting. The more physical of the tasks always seemed a little daunting to Astrid, but she knew she'd try her best, comfortable in the fact that her best would land her nice and far from a winning spot.

The change in scenery to the preserve was nice, too, as she sat on a stump to give her a new perspective on some sketches before everything really got started.

"Since when do you want to tackle heights the boring way?"

It wasn't like she was even going to toss anyone around with the Force, Anakin.

Theron looked at Beaker. Theron looked at the saws. Theron had been paying attention the last few weeks.

"I've got a bad feeling about this."

"We're absolutely being used," Rey said, picking up one end of a saw anyway.

"At least he didn't claim this would help us get closer in touch with the Force," Ahsoka grumbled.

Which what he'd said any time he'd voluntold her for something boring during the war.

"I wasn't going to go straight for the ribbon." She was going to leap acrobatically from limb to limb like someone who'd spent far too much time around Skywalkers at an impressionable age.

This part of the challenge was practically made for Rey, who had a lifetime of practice scaling things to get stuff.

In fact, she realized too late that she was doing this automatically and she didn't actually want to win the damn thing.

"Obviously the safest way for us to cut the logs is not to." If being raised by Jedi was good for anything, it was learning how to state things from the right point of view.

"That wouldn't help most of us anyway."

Sometimes the narrative just wanted to pinch her cheeks.

"Ever sawed anything before?"

Cara and sharp metal objects were a match made in heaven. If only her girlfriend had been around for her to show off for.
