When ~~the poor schmucks~~ Fandom arrived in the park on Wednesday, they would see five wooden rafts, big enough to each hold four people (or Muppets, or a Sidon), bobbing on the pond. In the center of each raft was a metal bucket full of objects. Some were balloon-shaped, some were ball-shaped, others were clearly shoes. One looked suspiciously like Intern Porg.

(Do not throw Intern Porg.)

"In honor of break week, we are doing something that didn't require much effort on my part to set up," Anakin said, which was pretty straight-forward of him. "We're doing a balloon-ish toss! Pick an object, toss it to your teammate on the next raft over. Do not miss, or break the object! Fastest team to get all the way around the circuit wins."

He grinned. "Powers may be used today. And there are plenty of objects in the buckets. No one says you have to only toss things at your own teammates."

Sometimes Anakin just liked to watch the world burn.

"Listen for your names!"

Sam, who of course had felt wings and no actual hands to speak of, reached into the bucket and came out with a fish which he flung in the general direction of the next raft.

"This is absurd!"

Dwight had been prepared for several things to possibly come flying across the water at him. but a fish was not one and he totally missed catching it.

"Ooops- Sorry!" he called across to Sam.

Arthur at least didn't have to look at his shirt. John assured him it was definitely something, though.

Hm. Move some of the things in the bucket. More...Ah! There. John reached in and grabbed something that, from his stance, was decently large. Now turn this way. Good. Here goes!

"Throwing now!" Arthur warned the next person as John let fly.

Jon scrambled to try and catch whatever the brightly coloured thing coming his way was. He fumbled it, and it went off the side of the raft. "Damn!"

Jesus Christ, he missed it! John growled.

"Okay, no problem. We'll just try again," Arthur said optimistically.

This time it ended up in the water.

"Did I hear a splash?"

Shut up, Arthur! It wasn't aerodynamic.

After two more misses and several more fumbles - look, Jon wasn't exactly an athlete! - he went too far and ended up very wet and having to climb back on the raft.

But the next time, he caught it! Well, he fumbled it, but it still made it to the raft, and he picked it up, which he was counting now, damn it!

He got it, Arthur!

"Good job!"

About time.

"Alright!" said Graham, pumping his fist excitedly, because even though they were on rafts, he felt fine about it, because he now knew how to swim! And buoyed (GET IT??) by that confidence, he prepared himself to get a good toss across the way over to Raiden.

"Ready when you are!" he called out. "Just say the word!"

"Hit me!" Raiden called back.

And he presented such a large target, too.
