Summer Shenanigans, Wednesday, June 8, 2022

[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."

"That's why you needed a hug."

A very smelly gross hug.

"Because you're so grateful," Anakin surmised.

"I wanted to make sure you could share in the experience," Stark corrected him gently.

"You're such a giver," Anakin said.

Re: Talk to Anakin!

[stykera]

"You've given us all so much," Stark said, very seriously. "We all ought to be giving back."

"I prefer gifts other than hugs," Anakin said helpfully.

"It was a surprise," Stark pointed out. "That was most of the point. It will be something different next time."

The real gift was the mud and the grease, anyway.

"I'm even more excited for next Wednesday, then," Anakin said dryly.

"I'll try not to disappoint you," Stark promised. Very innocently.
