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!"

"Meep meep mee?" Beaker offered, aiming a water gun at Sam. He could shoot you now and get the indignity over fast!

"How dare you!"

Sam really should have armed himself already. He had only himself to blame here.

Fortunately for you, Sam, Beaker can't aim at all.

"Meep meep meep!" Beaker said, firing his weapon.

Re: Voluntolds, Come on Down!

Sam squawked and dove for a gun of his own.

Sorry, whoever might have been standing behind the eagle! Or next to the eagle. Or anywhere in the vicinity of the eagle.

Behind the eagle was a ghost.

He watched as the ink went right through him and rolled his eyes. "Oh, very funny."

"Meep meep meep!"

That was kind of an apology, Bob!

Sam's shot at Beaker was not an apology, however.

It was also not well-aimed. Sam was not a bird well-versed in firearms, somehow.
