Summer Shenanigans, Wednesday, July 24, 2024

[sith_happened]

When the poor schmucks Fandom arrived in the park on Wednesday, they would see four wooden rafts, big enough to each hold five people (or Muppets), 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, desperate for a news story.

"My thanks to Don and Jane for covering for me the last two weeks. 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!"

"I'm sorry, sir, but I literally have no better explanation," she said. "This is actually a very tame one. There are no dead bugs or chocolate pudding!"

A pause.

"...The school pays him for this, in fact."

"What the f--," Flint said, trailing off and belatedly remembering his manners. Young woman, not Eleanor, Flint. Watch your language.

Oh, he should hear Arden when she didn't have her people-pleasing manners on!

"Sir, I assure you, if I had a decent answer to that question, I'd sleep better at night."

"How much does the school pay him to do this?"

Flint, that's not the part of this you should be focusing on, maybe?

No, no, valid question!

"I don't know, but probably somewhere in the six figure range?" Arden yelled back.
