If you thought a small thing like "the entire park being covered in water" was going to stop Anakin, well, you hadn't spent much time with him.

There were rafts scattered throughout the area, some decidedly more sturdy-looking than others. A giant one was holding up the normal risers but looked pretty tippy, so Anakin had lashed a few others to it with blankets if people decided against swaying quite that much today.

There were other floats scattered around in a pattern with giant galvanized buckets and folded baby blankets on them, too. Do you have a bad feeling about them? Because you should.

"Today," Anakin yelled through the bullhorn, "we are playing Blanket Balloon Toss! We will have four teams of seven." With matching horrifying t-shirts again. Anakin had gotten such a deal, you guys. "Working in pairs--except for the first person--you will catch water balloons in your baby blankets and then launch it to your teammates on the next float. The first team to get the balloon around the circuit wins."

You were all getting drenched.

"If you are not strong swimmers, I suggest you put on a pair of water wings. The floats were built by Beaker and might not be the robust things ever."

Meaning that one would definitely start sinking.

"Listen for your names, come get your t-shirts, and then get out to your designated floats!"

"So they just want to have more balloons on their float?" Del asked, still confused. "I thought maybe they were sad because we had more balloons than they did even if some of 'em are splattered on the floaty deck thing and they needed us to fair up and send some over to make them less sad about having so few?"

Shuri stared at her, blinking.

"...no," she said finally. "Okay, we're aiming at those guys there in the shirts that match us."

"Are we using physics or are we just gonna try to bounce it to them with the sheet? Because if we throw it juuuust right, we could bounce it off that one's chest, bop that one in the face with it, kinda pingy pongy it back off that one's shoulder and have it roll down his arm into the blanket," Del offered. "But it'd have to be juuuuust right or it'd just go splat."

More staring. "Let's just do it the easier way?"

"Ok," Del said, deflating a little. Easy was boring.
