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!"

"I'm having enough experiences this week," Steve said dryly. "My husband turned into a pony. Again."

A Tony Pony. Never not funny.

Steph winced. "That... has got to be one of the more inconvenient animal transformations. But funny."

"I think he did it on purpose to justify the elevator he's installing in the renovations," Steve said with a little grin.

"Werecreatures wrecked the place?" Steph guessed. "Or was this some other weird Fandom thing?"

"Were-elephant right through the building," Steve confirmed. "Tony took it as an excuse to make the rebuild bigger and better."

Because Tony.

"Oof," Steph said sincerely. "But hey, you get an elevator out of it."

"And I talked him out of a twenty story tall glass monstrosity, so I'll take my victories where I can," Steve said, grinning. "Taking the dog down five flights of stairs for every walk would probably get to be a little much, too."
