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."

Well. Lydia was certainly wearing a hippo costume and lying on a sled thing. "I'm ready!" she told Steph.

Was she? Was she really? Was anyone ready for the madness that came from Anakin Skywalker's mind?

"As much as anyone ever really is for those things," Steph said with a wry sort of sympathy. "Which is on average 'not very,' and that's fine because I would honestly be worried about all of us if we were."

She glanced at the ice rink, dubious, and reached down to take hold of the sled.

"Okay, basket ready, let's do this."

This was much better as a table game. Some things were not meant to be LARPed.
