Summer Shenanigans, Wednesday, June 15, 2022

[sith_happened]

The games were set up in the park today, which was a good thing, and there weren't even piles of ugly t-shirts today: another good thing!

There were very ugly socks instead.

And baby pools filled with...well, let's just call it water and not ruin the surprises. People who had been around for previous summers probably already remembered what happened with socks.

"Today you will be working in small groups to keep these pools up over your heads as you lie on the ground," Anakin explained. "Once you are settled in place with the pools, you must then go in a circle and each remove one sock from your feet without dumping the pool contents onto yourselves. And then go around again."

That was a rather mean smile, Anakin. "No powers. Listen for your names."

"Not enough hugs as a kid," Steve decided.

"That was my theory too," Steph blurted out. "Stark was going to go hug him after last week's grease-fest. That probably wasn't enough by itself."

Steve laughed. "My partner thinks I didn't get enough hugs and I've never even dabbled in the deep end of the crazy pool asking if I should drop kiddie pools full of Kool-Aid onto other adults."

"I know a lot of people who didn't get enough hugs and none of them have ever come close to doing that," Steph replied, chuckling. "Or inflicting eldritch horror shirts on us on a weekly basis."

"I should probably check the police records and make sure they've never come to life," Steve said.

The way Steph's expression shifted steadily into a horrified one was truly reaction gif worthy.

"Oh. Oh shit. I didn't even think -- well, that's terrifying."

They'd find out about the giant animatronic fish that tried to take over the island. Was that better or worse?

"I'm sure it's fine," Steve said reassuringly.

Re: Chicken Legs

Both. It would be both.

"Sure," replied Steph, not at all sounding convinced.
