Summer Shenanigans, Wednesday, June 16, 2021

[sith_happened]

Another Wednesday, another insane set-up in the park!

Today there was a new, six part metal obstacle course set up: a tilted cube, a mountain, a loading bay, the ridge, the front line, and The Sisters.

"Welcome to professional tag," Anakin yelled into his megaphone, "which is apparently a sport now. We will divide into two teams: Team Pizza will be the taggers, Team Dread will be the, um, don't get tagged."

He was from a different galaxy, what do you want from him?

"Going in pairs, you will have 20 seconds in the obstacle course to either track down or evade the other person. If you get tagged, the other team gets a point. If you evade getting tagged, your team gets a point It's pretty easy. Listen for your name and then come get your shirt!"

No need to ever discuss anything! Why do that when Faye could flee out a window rather than be honest about her feelings (or, better still, try to distract him with sex? She was super good at that.)

Normal friend things. Just like how the hand-holding was normal and friendly and definitely didn't make Faye feel anything.

"Probably no harm in asking," Faye decided. "And if she tells you something dumb, then it's on her if she receives something dumb."

They did not live on the ground floor. Fleeing out a window might not be the best plan. She could use the door, which might have new locks by then!

"I don't want to get her something dumb," Stark protested. "But it would be her own fault if she said she wanted something that she didn't really."

Faye could risk a broken leg rather than talk about her feelings. It was probably a better option. And if she fled on foot through the door he might follow, duh.

"Look, I don't want to get her anything dumb, either, but this is why people make wishlists for their birthdays," Faye said. Which, like, was something for you to look forward to later this summer, Stark. Faye was not shy about gifts, either.

At least if she jumped out a window there would be someone nearby familiar with the clinic who would fuss over her?

"I don't have all that much experience with birthdays." Because he didn't even have one.

He would absolutely try and do well with gifts though.

You know, that would be exactly what she would deserve.

"Mine's in August," Faye shared. "I'll be twenty-four."

...ish.

"Which isn't any kind of a milestone like this one is for Summer, as I understand it."

20-something, 70-something, what's the difference really?

"I'll remember," Stark promised. He would, too. "It doesn't need to be a milestone to be important."
