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!"

Re: Obstacle Three!

Usually, Sakaki was incredibly good at things like this, but as she, with a face far too serious for the event, really, stepped up to make her first toss, she caught, in the corner of her eye, a duck family hastily trying to move themselves out of the area much too late. They were making it to safety just fine, of course, but so distracted, her first toss went wildly off range.

Which meant she got blasted from the cannon.

Which wouldn't have been too much of deterrent if it had been water, but the realization that it was soda...!

That was going to take Sakaki a few moments to recover from.

Did you know how much of a task it was going to be? Washing soda out of all this hair??? Not to mention that she now smelled like ranch...
