Summer Shenanigans, Wednesday, July 27, 2022

[sith_happened]

Anakin's children had outgrown a summer slide obstacle course years ago, but it didn't mean it wasn't stuck in the back of his brain as an option for torture team building.

When everyone arrived at the park, they'd find a rickety-on-purpose wooden bridge across the duck/flamingo pond, an entire line of inflatable hurdles being sprayed by sprinklers, some kind of ring toss with a water cannon pointed at where the participants would be standing, and a Slip 'n Slide that would really serve no purpose other than to remind adults that gravity exists and they shouldn't be on a Slip 'n Slide past the age of about ten.

"Today we're running an obstacle course!" he said. At least it was stupidly humid outside, so getting wet wasn't a hardship. "Fastest through wins! No power usage! Listen for your names!"

"MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE---"

And that was Beaker into the pond.

"Oh no!" said Graham, yet again, his vocabulary clearly reduced to that very apt phrase in these moments. Instinctively, though, his first response when Beaker went flying after he himself manage to miraculously keep his low and somewhat wobbly crouch, was to reach out for him to try and save him. Of course, it was much too late for that, but that didn't seem to stop Graham from lunging forward in an effort to still grab him.

Which was, of course, when Sidon hit the launch off the bridge, and there went Graham right after Beaker.

Steve braced for the first bounce but would be totally screwed by the second one. He glanced over the side to make sure the kids were okay.

"You guys good?"
