Summer Shenanigans, Wednesday [all day]

[sith_happened]

Today's games were not being held in the park, which should have been a red flag. Fortunately, Anakin has provided a red flag!

Twenty feet up.

At the end of a very gross-looking wooden pole danging over Serenity Cove.

"Today you're all out of for yourselves," Anakin yelled from the top of recycled scaffolding, which had a 40-foot long greased up telephone pole balanced between it about 20 feet up. "Many thanks to our local bars and restaurants for providing the lard, grease, fish guts, Crisco and bacon fat to really lube this thing up."

Beaker, covered in said grossness, looked decidedly less grateful.

"The rules are simple," Anakin said. "Whoever gets across the pole and reaches the flag wins all you can eat at Mooby Burger for a week!" Whether Mooby Burger was a good prize or not was entirely up to the winners. "You may walk, run, or slide your way across, but you may not use supernatural powers."

"And thank you in advance for volunteering!"

Which was news to those volunteers.

"Pick up your t-shirts--" Anakin did not realize that his shirts were a Philadelphia sports reference, "--and listen for your names!"

Oh boy.

"Vi, Eleanor, Beaker, Summer, Isabella, Steve R, Guillermo, Jon, Beta, Stark, TJ, Eddie, Jane, Graham, Belle, Steph, Steve M, Libby, and Alara! Come on over!"

Arrive and Mingle

The location was different, the bleachers were the same. It helped to be able to lift huge, heavy things with your brain.

Even though Summer had alerted him to the fact that his duties as Shenanigan Spy were, at the moment, no longer required, Prompto had really enjoyed getting Noctra out in the fresh air to sort of boggle at how dumb the world outside her little insulated cocoon of her home really was. And he was pretty excited for the change of scenery, too, to make it a little more exciting for her.

Until they got to the change of scenery, because this? Was pretty much the opposite of fresh air.

"Ugh," he said, wrinkling his nose and then trying to quiet Noctra down as she pretty much said the same thing, but with a lot more crying and wailing and squirming in a way that made him feel pretty glad that she couldn't actually talk yet so her mother never needed to know what he was subjecting her to with all that copious grease in the sun.

Until Prompto himself told her, of course, but, yeah, might not be sticking around for too long with this one...

...until it got started, and then it became almost too fascinating to watch to turn away.
