[sith_happened]

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!"

"Why is that a problem?" Miguel asked. "This way you get to hear it a lot."

Re: Artistic Swimming

[doesdoctorstuff]

"Because I'm a vampire and it's daytime."

Duh, guy she just met. Duh.

Re: Artistic Swimming

[what_the_shock]

Look, Miguel had fangs and light-sensitive eyes and he wasn't a vampire; he hated to make assumptions!

"Got it. I'd get my uniform for you, but I left it at home. I could wrap you up in spiderweb?"

"...How's that gonna help me swimming?" To her favorite song!

Re: Artistic Swimming

[what_the_shock]

"It won't," Miguel said. "But it would keep the sun off you. Although," he added, "I could always web your legs together and build it up like a mermaid tail."

What?

"I'm very confused," Navaan said, and boy was it weird having the shoe on this foot. "You know I'm not exploding right now already, right?"

Re: Artistic Swimming

[what_the_shock]

"So it's not that extra sun would be a problem if you were in a bathing suit?" Miguel asked. "If it won't explode you, what's the problem with swimming? Do you explode from chlorine?"

Look, he was doing his best.

Re: Artistic Swimming

[doesdoctorstuff]

"No it would be," Navaan said. "But putting me in a cocoon isn't gonna help me. Well, it will help me not explode but not swim."

Re: Artistic Swimming

[what_the_shock]

"Wait, you mean the problem is just that you can't swim?" Miguel asked. Maybe he was getting it.

Re: Artistic Swimming

[doesdoctorstuff]

"Not in a cocoon I can't!"

Re: Artistic Swimming

[what_the_shock]

"Not a cocoon!" Miguel corrected. "More like a bodysuit. Just a layer between you and the sun."

Re: Artistic Swimming

[doesdoctorstuff]

"Well, you didn't say that!" Navaan argued.

Re: Artistic Swimming

[what_the_shock]

"Well, I kind of thought it was understood!" Miguel counter-argued.

"So do you want it or not?"

Re: Artistic Swimming

[doesdoctorstuff]

"How would that be understood? You offered to wrap me up in spiderweb! What do you think spiders do?" A thought occurred. "Wait. Do you have an army of tiny spiders on you?"

Re: Artistic Swimming

[what_the_shock]

"No. That was his son. I am a spider. Well, partly. I make my own webs. And I don't eat people." That was Hannibal.

Re: Artistic Swimming

[doesdoctorstuff]

"Which part?" Navaan asked. "You don't seem like you got a hot spider ass."

Re: Artistic Swimming

[what_the_shock]

"Hey, I've got a very hot ass!" Miguel protested. "I'm just not wearing my tightest pants."
