[sith_happened]

When everyone arrived in the park, they would notice that the observation bleachers had been moved to the center of the area and the rest of it was covered in what seemed to be a squirrel-sized Ninja Warrior obstacle course.

Surely this would end well.

Anakin--Beaker was nowhere to be found--was standing behind the folding table that normally had a number of terrible t-shirts for the teams to wear. This week the shirts seemed...strangely tiny...but that was probably nothing to worry about, nor was the piles of brightly colored fake rabbits' feet, nor was the ray gun propped up against the table leg.

Anakin was from space, after all. Maybe today he brought a ray gun?

"We already did an obstacle course around town," Anakin began, yelling through the megaphone, "and one with mud last summer. So this year, to save money, I made this physically difficult course smaller--" sure, "--and will simply shrink you all to fit into it!"

...wait.

"Thank you to Barry for your assistance in this matter. The gun works as intended and is completely safe, right Beaker?"

Beaker, squirrel-sized, saluted from on top of his pile of t-shirts. "Meep!"

And if you can't trust Beaker for scientific safety, who could you trust? "You will be in six teams of four. Each of you must make a complete circuit around the course, though you may assist each other in figuring out how to get through the various obstacles. Your brains and mouths still work, after all. Listen for your names and then come down to get zapped--" technical term--"and receive your accessories." He did not say anything about not using powers this week.

Re: Round Two

[x_discospider_x]

Troy had at least one round to get a little warmed up and watch to see how the course went, and so he rubbed his hands together then crouched down to get ready to really show everyone how it was done. He could do this. He was the star althelete over here, he could do this!

And honestly? The hardest part was realizing that the squirrel decoy was just a decoy, and maybe it was just because he was squirrel-sized or something right now, but squirrelfriend was lookin' kinda fine right now, not gonna lie.

Was that a rum bottle being thrown at Troy's head.

Totally.

What. There was nothing in the rules about sabotaging others, right?
