Summer Shenanigans, Wednesday, June 3, 2020

[sith_happened]

So the park wasn't flooded this summer but that wasn't going to stop Anakin from recreating one of his favorite shenanigans from last year--the team balloon toss on rafts.

Because, in case you hadn't figured it out, this was all about Anakin's entertainment.

There were signs directing people to the docks instead of the park today, but there were still the usual snacks and bleachers for attendees to mingle around. There were also big screens set up becuase some of the rafts were far out into the water.

There were four piles of ugly t-shirts, with definitely not matching water wings for those who needed them and/or remembered how very unseaworthy the rafts were last summer.

"Today we are doing a water balloon relay!" Anakin announced through the bullhorn that somehow had never been stolen from him. "A member of each team will be on each raft. In the center of the each raft is a bucket of balloons. The fastest way to win is to catch the balloon from the first raft and transfer it through all six team members without it breaking, but I've met you all. Therefore, if you haven't managed to catch a balloon after three attempts, the next teammate may pull one from the stash in the center of their raft and proceed."

He coughed. "Some of them may not necessarily contain water."

Because he was a bastard like that.

"First team to transfer a balloon successfully through all six teammates wins. Powers are allowed.

So that should make it nicely chaotic.

"Shooting extra balloons at opposing teammembers is encouraged, too."

ANAKIN.

"Listen for your names!"

"Oh, hey!" Prompto, a million years later while a little distracted looking for one particularly curly blonde head amongst the gathered masses, shifted his attention easily to the person who'd greeted him, a bright smile blossoming on his face when he saw who it was. "Sabine! It has! How the heck are ya?"

"Doing okay," she said with a nod. "How about you? That's more interesting."

"I don't know about that," said Prompto, snorting a little as he grinned. "I mean, it's really nice being home and again, but you'd think the training for something called Kingsglaive would be wayyyyyy more interesting than it actually is. It's good, though! I like it. And I've still had enough time to come visit for these things, so there's that! Sounds like it's been a pretty quiet summer so far, though."

He wasn't even living here anymore, and yet he still sounded incredibly relieved about it.

"Yeah... we're probably going to be really in for it in a month or two," Sabine said, unbothered. "Maybe you'll get to catch some of it!"

"Orrrrr," Prompto proposed, as an alterative, "I'll juuuuust miss it. Just missing it is totally fine by me, too. And then you guys'll just have the opportunity to tell me all about it instead."

"Oh sure, leave us to dance the problem away without you," she teased.!

"Okay, so," Prompto lifted a finger as he reconsidered his previous statements, "if it's something involving dancingand the island to get me on board, and I will coming running." He flashed a grin. "Anything else, though? You guys are tough. You can totally handle it!"

There was...a pause.

"Or pizza. If it involves pizza,I think you might need me for that, too."

"So... call you for the parties," she said.
