Summer Shenanigans, August 12, 2020

[sith_happened]

Today's games were not being held in the park, which should have been a red flag. Fortunately, Anakin  has provided a red flag!

Twenty feet up.

At the end of a very gross-looking wooden pole.

 "Today you're all out of for yourselves," Anakin yelled from the top of recycled "Let's Pretend We Can Fly" scaffolding, which had a 40-foot long greased up telephone pole balanced between it about 20 feet up. "Many thanks to our local bars and restaurants for providing the lard, grease, fish guts, Crisco and bacon fat to really lube this thing up."

Beaker, covered in said grossness, looked decidedly less grateful.

"The rules are simple," Anakin said. "Whoever gets across the pole and reaches the flag wins all you can eat at Mooby Burger for a week! You may walk, run, or slide your way across, but you may not use supernatural powers."

Whether Mooby Burger was a good prize or not was entirely up to the winners.

"And thank you in advance to the following people for volunteering!"

Which may be news to those volunteers.

"Sidon, Steve Rogers, Tisarwat, Rosa, Shuri, Stark, Prompto, Rey, Eleanor, Freya, Wayne, Shunsui, Amaya, Summer, Sabine, Steve McGarrett, and Barry! Get on up here!"

Arrive and Mingle

There were a lot of vendors today--they all had a vested interest in seeing what the hell Anakin was doing with all of that fat.

If her name had been called, Astrid would have taken up the challenge of the pole-walking, but she had to admit, she was incredibly glad that her name had been left off of this week's roster. Not only because she didn't think she'd do very well, anyway, but also because this made for an excellent scene to just sit in the stands, watching, with her sketchbook open and ready to try to capture some of these inevitable struggles and falls.

She would definitely be rooting for you, Sabine! And wondering if she should be proactive about going to go find a hose...

Alexis had been concerned with today's event, given that she was wearing light colors. She was not any less concerned when she looked at what this was.

Okay! Finding a hiding spot!

Eleanor was there, once again risking the fact that she could be climbing on an icky pole to make some quick cash off of Mae.

The fact that she had never made any quick cash off Mae never really occurred to her.

Why? Reasons.

Don't mind Jaye. She was just here to capture every second of what was happening on her phone, so she could rewatch it on bad days.
