Summer Shenanigans, Wednesday, June 29, 2022

The Shed of Holding was back in the center of the park, so clearly that was a terrible sign. Anakin also looked very pleased with himself, so...run.

Ohhhh, too late.

"Today we have more obstacles to overcome!" Anakin said through the microphone and seriously, someone take away his access to British television shows. "Listen for your name and you cannot use powers today for any of the events. You can, however, take suggestions from your teammates!"

Oh, hooray, a team task! There are four beach balls on one side of the pond and a finish line marked on the other. Your job is to work together (Alara & Steve M, Diego & Cara, Stark & Tahiri, Will & Five)--and using only water--move those beach balls around to the finish line. You may use the Shed of Holding to find whatever moddable thing would help you out!

This would have been so easy if Diego had been allowed to use powers. Without them though, he was a little lost. Maybe water guns would work? High speed water guns?

"Is there something we can hit the water with?" Cara had no intention of getting in the pond I'd she could help it.

"There's gotta be paddles or something in that bigass shed," Diego said. "That's a good idea--we can move the water it'll be like...wet curling."

"Wet curling," Cara repeated dubiously. Less because she didn't think it'd work and more because that sounded like some kind of sex act.

"This would be easier with powers," Five said loudly. And angrily.

Because he was a grumpy old man.

"Pretty sure that's exactly why they're not allowed," Will pointed out. Logically.

"Might as well tell normal people to tie an arm behind their backs."

FIVE, NO. DON'T GIVE HIM IDEAS.

"If we move the ball into the pond with like a bucket of water and then hit with waves as we swim with it--" in the duck poop-filled water, Steve, ew, "--would that count?"

Alara was looking a little guilty, as she considered, “um - i feel like I should disclose that I do do have considerable strength, I’m from a planet with high gravity,” she explained, “I can’t switch it off - would that count as using powers?” she asked, she wasn’t sure if it did or not.

"Does it help us move a beach ball faster?" Steve asked.

“It could?” Alara considered, as she looked at the ball, “I haven’t tried anything like this before but I might be able to get it go faster,”

Or it could go completely wrong but she was trying to focus on the positives

"How could it go faster?" Steve asked.

“I could use my strength against the water, try and guide the ball that way? Especially if I got enough momentum,” Alara wasn’t very good at explaining the academic side of things where her strength was concerned, “at least in theory it should work,”

Steve's eyebrows furrowed. "I think you might have to show me," he admitted. "Let me get a bucket and we can move this ball into the water."

"Is there a hose? Or...I don't know what to use," Stark admitted.

"My go to option is right out," Tahiri said, frowning. "He'd know right away, and I did not come all this way for a visit just to get in trouble with... family, more or less."

"You're one of Anakin's relatives?"

There were so many of them. Stark could not keep track.

"You were at the wedding." The one he'd made out with Summer at.

Tahiri laughed sheepishly. "I was." And from what she knew of Jaina's version of her, they might as well be married. "I've been... very close friends with Jaina and her family since I was a kid, and Han and Leia sort of adopted me, so I might as well be family."

She started digging through a pile of stuff in the shed and pulled out a pool noodle.

"I don't think this will help, no."

Weren't they married now even if Stark hadn't quite finished the wedding?

"Maybe something that could make waves? We could throw something?"

There was practically a built in Jaina clause for these sorts of Fandom weddings though, so probably not?

"It would have to be pretty heavy," Tahiri said dubiously, "and I don't know that we'd necessarily be able to make the waves push the balls in the right direction. Unless... no, using this thing like a giant straw is not going to be practical at all."

"Oh, that's true. They might go the wrong way."

Would a little remote controlled boat count? It would be cute, at least.

"That," Tahiri said, "at least looks like it'll be fun, which is more than I can say for the other ideas so far."

"Does this count as using the water?" Stark asked, picking up a little boat.

"Or do we need something else?"

Tahiri frowned. "Well... technically I guess it doesn't, unless there's a way to use the boat to make waves. Ugh, this would be so much easier if I could just use the Force."

She pulled out a small foam paddle board, the kind that got used in early swimming lessons by people who didn't grow up on desert planets. "We could use this to make the waves?"
