It was not just you, it was a little buggy in the park this morning. Welcome, everyone, to Anakin Skywalker's Salute to Cicadas themed game today!

You were probably not nearly as thrilled about it as Cal and Arden, who'd helped set up said theme. Ohhhh, it was gonna be great!*

"Welcome!" Anakin called out as people arrived. "Today we will have only two teams led by Cal and Arden." Their shirts might be a clue about what horrors fun awaited you! "There is a fascinating scientific event happening on this continent right now, and while it is not impacting us fully, I believe we should embrace learning about the fascinating cicada, which has any number of useful traits."

He smiled. "For instance, did you know that it's extremely nutritious?"

Anakin, why are you like this.

"We will begin with a relay race and end with a game of skill!" Was Flip Cup really a game of skill? Guess we'll find out! "Listen for your names! You may not use your powers."

"Oh! Oh! I got a tattoo!" Arden said, because that was way better than 'I'm currently serving detention' or 'I was bitten by a gremlin and had the most mortifying experience of my life.' She turned around, pulling up the back of her t-shirt to show off the ink on her shoulder. "It was kind of a random thing, but it's been like two weeks and I still love it, so I think it was a good choice."

"Zounds, Arden!" Graham remarked, after leaning in to make sure he really did get a good look at it. "That's beautiful! I love it, too! Did it hurt a lot to get it? Does it have any special magical properties? Do you think you'll get another one? Do you think I should get one? Where did you get it? Did it cost a lot of money?"

Look, he's been gone for a hot minute! He had missed out on asking so many questions!

Somewhere, Liliana was granting Graham grudging respect for that kind of question asking and also was mad about it.

"Thank you!" Arden turned around and beamed at him. "I'm glad you got to see it now, after it healed up and wasn't so scabby anymore." Which happened far faster than it should have, but she sure wasn't going to point that out. "It was a little startling in the beginning and kinda felt like pinching but didn't hurt much really. Uh, can you get magic tattoos? This one is a normal one I got in Baltimore. And, you know what? Probably. I have this idea of a kestrel fighting the East Wind I'm playing with, but it's not coming to me as easily as this one did. And it wasn't really expensive at all. Barely a hundred bucks at this studio called Have Fun Be Lucky. And if you want one! I could, um. Help you figure something out if you want? I like mine and I thought I gave Cal a really good idea, so...if you're ever interested...?"
