Beaker was putting the last of the balloons in place (so...floating away. Don't worry, he'll be fine in a second) on the bleachers that had been set back up in the park in the center of town. There were also a couple of big screen televisions set up so that the crowd could watch the action when the contestents (you lucky volunteers, you!) were outside the park.

It was also a warning to the contestants that this week's game would be taking them out of the park.

"Today, we will be doing a very quick tour of the island!" Anakin yelled into his megaphone. He didn't really need the megaphone--he just liked the way everyone would wince when he made it squeal. "You will be working in teams to complete a series of obstacles I've set up around town. Fastest team to complete the course does not win a fish."

At the blank looks from some of the newbies, Anakin explained. "Last year there was an plastic fish that attained sentience and attacked us at the end of the summer. It was a thing."

Well, "explained" if it also meant "in a way that absolutely did not make it Anakin's fault."

"Listen as your teams are called and where your assingments are! I will then give you ten minutes to get into place and then Beaker--where'd he go?"

Beaker waved and meeped from a tree.

"And Beaker will shoot off the starting pistol which is not a real gun, right Beaker?" Anakin checked.

Beaker meeped affirmatively.

"Well, we'll see how that goes," Anakin muttered.

"There wasn't! Anyone get bit?" Ben asked, horrified.

He was possibly more horrified by this than the evil fish.

"At least one person," Kanan confirmed with a nod. "Started saying things like," and for this he adopted a falsetto, which was an interesting trick with his normal deep voice, "'Ah do declare, Ah need a mint julep and some shade.'"

A pause.

"Which was possibly the least traumatizing thing about the whole activity, honestly."

Ben shot a look over at his grandfather. "There is something deeply wrong with his brain."

"I'm reasonably certain that 'gremlin fashion show' thing is proof positive that he hates us all and wants us to suffer," Kanan decided.

Ben nodded vigorously. "I've suspected that for a while."

"And yet here we are, participating in his mad schemes," Kanan mused. "Morbid curiosity, maybe."

"Lack of more fulfilling hobbies?" Ben said. "Though he's ruined macrame forever now..."

"As that was my first ever exposure to it, I think it's safe to say I don't even know what I'm missing," Kanan noted, shrugging. "I'm already convinced it can't ever be redeemed."
