Summer Shenanigans, Wednesday, August 18, 2021

[sith_happened]

Anakin was back in his accustomed spot in the center of the park, surrounded by piles of t-shirts and something that looked slightly like water pistols.

Judging by the many colors Beaker was splashed in, they weren't just water pistols.

There was also an extensive obstacle course set up throughout the park, complete with pits, snare traps, sniper nests, and bunkers.

Had he blatantly stolen all of the best ideas from a summer of paintball classes?

Yes. Yes, he had.

In the center of the obstacle course was a flagpole with a blue and yellow gremlin flag flying high.

"For our final meeting," he began, "we will be working in teams to capture that flag! Navigate the obstacle course while your competitors shoot at you with these--" he lifted up a water gun, "--vintage 1980s disappearing ink guns!"

Judging by Beaker, that ink didn't disappear that fast.

"Meep meep meep meep!"

Anakin glanced down. "Oh. Well. Using these vintage water guns that have been filled with printer ink!"

So, the most expensive ammunition on the planet.

"Listen for your names!"

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

Steve chuckled. "I'm gonna take it as a compliment," he said, pulling his white t-shirt on over his head.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

Stark tugged his own shirt on with a sigh. "But it's less fun if I'm not trying to shoot him!"

He paused, eyeing Anakin. "I suppose I could anyway."

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[heroic_jawline]

Steve laughed harder. "Well, I'm not gonna stop you," he said.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[stykera]

Well, if he wasn't going to get a Disappointed Look from Steve then Stark might just have to try and shoot Anakin at some point.

"Good. He deserves it."

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[heroic_jawline]

Steve grinned. "You guys do have quite a rivalry."

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[stykera]

"He started it," Stark said quickly.

"And it's fun."

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[heroic_jawline]

"How did he start it?" Steve asked.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[stykera]

"There was a bucket of ice water dumped on my head," Stark said vaguely.

And never you mind why, Steve.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[heroic_jawline]

"Well that is definitely a way to make a first impression," Steve, naïve little lamb, said.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[stykera]

"Oh, I knew him before," Stark said. "From the first time I was here. But he started...this." Stark gestured between himself and Anakin, then shrugged.

"So now I like shooting him."

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[heroic_jawline]

"And he likes shooting you," Steve said, snickering. "It's strange but it seems to work for you. What will happen when fall classes start?"

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

[stykera]

"I'll need to find a new outlet," Stark said with an overly dramatic sigh. "I'm not sure what."
