Did anyone want to be awake for this after the kraken drill?

No.

Was that going to stop Anakin? Of course not!

The bleachers were down on the beach today, along with eight large rafts floating semi-precariously out in the water. Was this tempting a real kraken to arrive?

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaybe.

"Today it's really, ridiculously hot," Anakin yelled through the megaphone. "So I'm letting you get wet! You're welcome!"

Wait to hear what you're doing first before expressing your gratitude.

"You will be conducting a water balloon fight out there on the water. You will be given hand-held balloon launchers, and a bucket full of water balloons." Which may or may not contain water. "You will have teams of eight. Fastest team to pass a water balloon all the way down the line wins. You get a time penalty at the end for each balloon that breaks along the way. Listen for your names!''

Libby had being further along the line meant that she'd be able to feel more confident about how the game was played by the time her turn came around, but the poor performance of her team thus far only made her more nervous. They could do this, though! She took in a deep breath and focused, getting ready to hopefully catch that balloon.

God, how romantic. The very day after pledging to spend her life with this man, Annie got to play in a water balloon camp game in a tacky shirt with him. Literally the dream, right there.

"Heads up, babe!" she called, making sure to focus on Diego for accuracy before gently hefting her balloon and -- having it pop all over her.

Shit. At least it was cool?

Okay, that? That had been hilarious. And Diego could not be blamed for laughing, even if it was the woman he loved being doused with a water balloon.

"You okay?"

Re: Raft Four to Raft Five

[defenderofdesmoines]

"I'm fine." Soaking wet, but fine. "It's kind of nice, honestly."

But it had also cost them both points and time, and Annie was more than competitive enough to be hustling when she loaded up a second balloon and took aim. "Catch!"

And this time, the balloon sailed in a perfect little arc over to Diego with no mishaps. Phew.

Rey was tired, she was in a stupid shirt, and she was catching balloons on a raft.

At least she was pretty confident she could do that?

Re: Raft Four to Raft Five

[napking]

"Catch!" Gray said, and launched a balloon toward Rey.

His aim...might not be great? Ranged weapons weren't his thing, okay?

"All right," Jaye said, wet and determined, "catchy this bitch!"

And then she was aiming it to Sakaki.
