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!"

Try not to fall asleep, Gray.

"Ready?" Stark asked. "I've got a...very squishy balloon to throw you."

But the motion of the raft was so...no, no, he was awake. He was awake.

He was trying to be awake.

"Any time," Gray called back. And then yawned.

Stark tossed the balloon in Gray's direction.
It was going to be so awkward for Gray if he fell asleep mid-catch, wasn't it?

Well, first he would have to catch it, and not yawn again as it was coming his way. "Sorry! Sorry! Try again!"

Enough, Sloth insisted.

No, I'm supposed to catch it. One try isn't enough. There's rules.

Enough, Sloth grumbled, but miraculously subsided...for now.

Right. Jon could absolutely do this!

The Eye "helpfully" supplied the exact angle and force with which to throw the...squeaky octopus thing that Jon had finally caught. Which would be helpful if Jon had any idea how to put that into practice.

"Coming now!" he warned, just in case.

"Got it!" Steve confirmed, snagging it out of the air. "That wasn't so hard!"

He was being nice about the seven tries from the last leg.

Look, between Jon's lack of athleticism and the fact the thing had been thrown half by a blind man and half by a psychic hitchhiker, it was lucky he'd caught it at all!

Jon blinked at the fact that he'd actually thrown that well enough to be caught. "I suppose not."

"Alright, Raiden!" Summer called out from across the way on her own raft, and then held out her hands to show she was ready for that pitch, baby. "Let's do this!"

Raiden pulled a rubber fish out of the bucket and asked Summer, "Ready?" and then just chucked it at her.

"Alright, incoming tennis ball!" Dwight called out "in three...two...one!" and he let it go across to the other raft.
