[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."

Stark, who had no idea about rainbow capitalism, gave her a curious look.

"I'm not sure what you mean?"

He didn't leave the island much. He hadn't, except to go home, since last fall.

"Lucky you," Steph replied. "Trust me, you won't be missing anything that way."

Re: Round Two

[stykera]

He was missing something but clearly not something he needed to know about right now.

No, he was missing two things. The second thing was the pig headed towards him.

"Alright," he said agreeably.

Re: Round Two

[drumsticksandd20s]

"No problem, dude --"

Steph's attention snapped back from wherever it had been focused.

"Dude, incoming!"

Re: Round Two

[stykera]

"Hmm?" Stark looked back over at Steph and not, alas, at the pig.

Too late. Ever see an alien bowled over by a greased pig before, Steph?

Re: Round Two

[drumsticksandd20s]

No, but there was a first time for everything!

"Oh, shit, dude!"

Re: Round Two

[stykera]

"Ow."

Stark had made a grab for the pig after falling over but unsurprisingly he wasn't able to actually catch it. And now he was extra gross.

All the better for hugging Anakin!
