Summer Shenanigans, Wednesday, June 26, 202

[sith_happened]

There was an ice skating rink set up in the center of the park, which would be nice of a day like today if center ice hadn't been ominously filled with plastic ball pit balls. There were four laundry baskets spread out equally around the circle of balls, four scooters--red, yellow, blue, and green--next to the baskets, and most disturbingly of all...four hippo costumes.

Anakin, what have you wrought?

"We're playing Hungry Hungry Hippos," Anakin announced through the unnecessary megaphone. "And by we I mean you. Listen for your names!"

"You only need to wear the costume while you're retrieving the balls!" Anakin announced like that made it better. He pointed to the boring red, blue, green, and yellow t-shirts next to him. "Just wear the t-shirts for everything else."

On the one hand, Stewart did like the prospect of getting on the ice.

On the other hand....hippo costume.

On the...third?...hand...he did actually find it very generous and acceptable that only the person receiving the balls would be wearing the hippo costume. It also made sense from a narrative standpoint, so he couldn't really even be that annoyed or irritated by it. Honestly, if you asked him, it was an elegant solution, a very good balance between the absurd and the reasonable.

His bar on such things was very low, to be honest.
