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!"

You know, there were several reasons why Amaya never considered going for any of the knights tournaments back in Daventry, but not a single one of those reasons had anything to do with the challenges that needed to be done in order to win.

This seemed like exactly the sort of a challenge a knight-hopeful would have to pursue, and so she found herself grinning eagerly with the chance to attempt it, giving her gloves a firm tug and thinking a bit on how best to do it.

Mooby's didn't quite have the level of stick-related items that Amaya liked to see when she went out to eat, but it still had a novelty to it that she could appreciate.
