Summer Shenanigans, Wednesday [all day]
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!"

Re: Run Across the Pole!
Or her reputation.
Which was way more valuable than her life, anyway.
And with that motivation at her heels, she realized she'd made it all the way across, snorted, snatched the flag and held it up as she called out, "That's right! I'm back, bitches! They don't call them Summer Shenanigans for nothing! Suck it!"

Re: Run Across the Pole!
Because they may have started being called that for the season in which they took place, but they would become so much more!
Besides, it, like, wasn't even actually summer yet.

Summer was just going to give him a very indulgent look for a moment before asking, "Oh, yeah? Do you have a badge, then, officer?"
