Did the world need a gremlin running around the park with a lit torch? Probably not, but he'd showed up with a lit torch and Anakin had chosen the path of not arguing about it. "Welcome to Fandom Olympics!" he announced instead through his--as always--completely unnecessary bullhorn. "The events you are participating in were chosen at random last night by five porgs spinning a wheel on which all Olympic events were listed. I am calling it the most modern pentathalon!"

If the pause was for applause, he'd be waiting a bit.

"Listen for your names! No powers!"

Thank god none of them had to wear bikinis.

Jon eyed the ball dubiously and did his best to serve it. Right into the net, though it might barely make it over the top!

It did make it over the top! And Kamala reached up to set the ball to Arden but instead it bounced off her head and back over the net.

On the one hand, Lydia was quite tall for a woman, especially a woman of her time period.

On the other hand, "Do you have the faintest idea what we're supposed to be doing?" she hissed to Jon.

"Oh! Yes. Hit the ball over the net," Jon explained. You have to hit it, not throw it or kick it or anything, and you have three tries to get it over. If you can't get it over, the other team gets a point."

"Right," Lydia said. "Hit the ball. I can do that." With her, to borrow a word from Arden elsewhere in this post, noodley arms.

Look, Jon was as noodley as they came. He wasn't about to judge anyone for their lack of sports ability.
