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."

"There's never any telling with these things," Jon said sympathetically.

He fidgeted for a moment, then sighed. "Oh, hell with it."

He took off his shirt and held it out to Jo, blushing a bit himself. "Use this."

What? Enough people went shirtless at these things most weeks. It wasn't like his skinny, scarred chest was anything worth looking at, but at least he might do a bit of good.

Jo was …still not used to how casual the shirtlessness was around here as she took Jon’s offered shirt, “um…thank you?” she squeaked out.

Wow the ground was really fascinating all of a sudden.

That was perfectly fine; Jon would take his own embarrassment if it spared Jo a bit of hers.

"You're welcome." He was politely looking at the pool.
