[sith_happened]

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!"

"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."

Re: Obstacle Three!

[stykera]

"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.

Re: Obstacle Three!

[weetuskenraider]

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."

Re: Obstacle Three!

[stykera]

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

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

Re: Obstacle Three!

[weetuskenraider]

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."

Re: Obstacle Three!

[stykera]

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

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

Re: Obstacle Three!

[weetuskenraider]

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

Re: Obstacle Three!

[stykera]

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

"Or do we need something else?"

Re: Obstacle Three!

[weetuskenraider]

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?"

Re: Obstacle Three!

[stykera]

"We could try," Stark agreed.

Or they could throw it at Anakin, for fun.

Re: Obstacle Three!

[weetuskenraider]

Well, Stark could throw it at Anakin for fun. Tahiri wasn't quite willing to do that just yet.

"There's nothing saying we can't build something with it to make the waves," she reasoned, continuing to dig through piles of random things. "Just as long as it's only the waves moving the balls along, right?"

Re: Obstacle Three!

[stykera]

"He didn't say anything about not building. Just no powers. Not a problem for me."
