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!"

This didn't look so bad!

Marvel how Anakin managed to find a Hawaiian shirt with oppossums on it that had sizes to fit both Sidon and Sam!

Each team member goes oh-so-handwavily to their rafts. The first raft picks a moddable object from the bucket to throw at their team member! The RNG determines how successful that throw is!

Other people on other rafts can throw whatever they want to try to disrupt the catches, or can be normal and just concentrate on their own team. Powers are allowed! Please make it messy!

Jo throws to Stark; Arthur throws to Jon; Graham throws to Raiden; Sam throws to Dwight!

RNG says the order is:
NOT AFRAID OF PATTERN BUT SHOULD BE (2 tries)
TROPI-OPPOSSUM (6 tries)
T-REX ABE LINCOLN (7 tries)
KUNG-FU ROOSTER (8 tries)

Stark throws to Gray
Jon throws to Steve M
Raiden throws to Summer
Dwight throws to Kurt

RNG says the order is:
T-REX ABE LINCOLN (1 try)
KUNG-FU ROOSTER (3 tries)
TROPI-OPPOSSUM (4 tries)
NOT AFRAID OF PATTERN BUT SHOULD BE (4 tries)

Gray to Steve R
Steve M to Belle
Summer to Cutter
Kurt to Sidon

RNG says:
T-REX ABE LINCOLN rules again (3 tries)
NOT AFRAID OF PATTERN BUT SHOULD BE (4 tries)
TROPI-OPPOSSUM (4 tries)
KUNG-FU ROOSTER (6 tries)

Steve R tosses to Gladio
Belle tosses to Eleanor
Cutter tosses to Guillermo
Sidon tosses to Lana

And your raft is a weeeee bit lopsided becuase Sidon is on it, so that's going to affect how you can balance, non-Sidon characters!

Once you're finished catching fish or balloons full of silly string or whatever.

How it is already almost July?!

Summer...looked like she wanted to say something about her shirt and then stopped herself about five times, before she just stopped trying, put it on, and resigned herself to her fate.

"Tony is going to have so many jokes," Steve sighed, looking at his shirt.

"This is the greatest shirt in history," Steve declared, beaming down at Abe Lincoln.

Steve waved at Belle. "Ready?" he yelled.

Steve had all the faith in the world that his toss to Gladio should go well, assuming no one threw a fish at him or something. "Ready?" he called.

Someone ought to make a joke about the big cock on Stark's shirt.

Someone who wasn't Stark.

Sam was extremely disappointed that he was not wearing the great Abraham Lincoln on his shirt.

Poor Sam.

It wouldn't be Steve, either! "We're going to make a great team," Steve declared earnestly.

"Would've been better with a chocobo," Gladio had to admit, as he shucked one shirt to then put on another, "but I think I could be down with this one."

It was absolutely being left unbuttoned, though.

It was those surprise fish that really did get you.

But Gladio clapped his hands and crouched a little in preparation was he called back, "Born ready! Let's bring this thing home!"

Hopefully one of their teammates or opponents would be willing to make the jokes for them!

"I hope so," Stark said. "I'm not always good at throwing things."

Especially when he'd overdone things yesterday and smashed up his knuckles at the gym a bit.

Try not to fall asleep, Gray.

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

"I love this shirt!" Raiden exclaimed delightedly, because his taste level was...well.

It really was...something in that size, it had to be said.

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.

"Are you--" big yawn "--are you ready?" Gray called across to Steve.

It was so nice on the raft in the sun, he could just take a little...no, no, there was throwing of stuff to be done.
