"Hello everyone!" Anakin boomed through his megaphone. Was it absolutely necessary for him to be so loud so early?

No, but Anakin was mean.

"Today we are playing the very famous--" in camp circles, maybe? "--game called Burst the Balloons! As you can see, Beaker and I have scattered balloons around the park."

Beaker meeped at Anakin.

"--and filled them with a variety of surprises. Oh?" He grinned. "Well done for that initiative, Beaker. The balloons are filled with surprises. Working in teams, you must race to break all of your balloons before the other teams do! Listen for your names!"

Oh. Jessica knew those signs. And held out her flask.

"Hair of the dog?" she asked as she looked around for balloons.

"Oh, god, no," Wanda said, wrinkling up her nose. "I mean, thank you, but no. Not unless you want to see me throw up here."

"Not particularly," Jessica said getting ready to replace the flask only to realize she had to put it in a different pocket because of that ridiculous pirate shirt. "But if you're feeling that bad, I'd say stay in the shade and get yourself some gatorade. Or if you're going to run around-"

From her jacket she pulled out a pack of ginger flavored gum.

"This will help with the nausea."

Because let's face it. When it comes to hangovers, Jessica is a professional.

"Thanks," she said, accepting the gum gratefully. "Shouldn't have let Tony buy me that second drink."

It was easy to blame Tony Stark for stuff.

"Two drinks did this to you?" Jessica asked with a raised eyebrow. "Or did it just go downhill after that?"

Re: TEAM PIRATES

"I'm kind of a lightweight," she admitted. "That might have been the first drink I've had in months?"

Re: TEAM PIRATES

[superjoanjett]

Jessica looked at Wanda like she was a unicorn.

"Months? Wow," Jessica replied. "I always wondered if there was a person out there to balance out the amount of alcohol I consume. I guess I just found out who that is."

Re: TEAM PIRATES

[scarlet_chaos]

She shrugged. "I don't trust myself to be really out of control."

Re: TEAM PIRATES

[superjoanjett]

Jessica paused for a moment before taking a swig of her drink. "Makes sense. I can see why alcohol may not be a good thing in that particular case."

Re: TEAM PIRATES

[scarlet_chaos]

"Yeah it could be a real disaster," she said. "But seeing as I was drinking with an Avenger and had another Avenger on standby to help me home I could indulge a little last night."

Re: TEAM PIRATES

[superjoanjett]

Jessica gave Wanda a bit of a side-eye of concern. It was one thing to get a little crazy if you have too much to drink. It was another if you needed to have avengers nearby to keep you in check.

"Do I want to know what happens if you lose control?"

Re: TEAM PIRATES

[scarlet_chaos]

"Probably not." She could turn this entire island into a literal circus, nobody wanted that. Except aspiring carnies.
