[sith_happened]

There was a definite smell of grease in the air along the beach that should worry anyone who'd every experienced one of Anakin's Wednesdays before, and that was only if they didn't notice the enormous, greased-up pole resting between two wooden scaffolds about ten feet above the water.

Or the greased-up pigs in a pen.

Or the greased-up flag pole.

Anakin liked a theme, that's what we're saying here.

"Today is all about adaptation!" Anakin yelled into the bullhorn when everyone had arrived. "Your teams have to attempt--individually--get get across the pole in the water and then up the flag pole. Your times, should anyone complete these tasks--will be added together, along with your efforts in the pairs greased pig collecting competition. Fastest team wins."

Who took Anakin to a county fair. Really.

"Listen for your names! There will be five teams of six and you may not use any special powers to assist yourself or your teammates. This is all physical prowess and mental stamina."

"Easier or harder than wrestling a tuna?"

Harder, Duke. So much harder.

Isabela leaned back against the fence. "No one's ever come up with a saying about wrestling tuna in water, sweet thing."

Re: Round One

[betterthanaplan]

"And?" Duke shrugged. "Wrestling a tuna I've done. Caught a 50 pounder once. Never wrestled a pig. You?"

"Oh, the stories I could tell..." Which were why she was leaning against the fence.

"I'm sure they're very entertaining. I'll let you take the lead on this one, then."

"Oh, of course," Isabela said cheerfully, then pointed at one of the pigs. "Go catch that one."

Delegating like a boss.
