Summer Shenanigans, Wednesday, August 14, 2024

[sith_happened]

"Hello, everyone!" Anakin boomed through the megaphone as people arrived. "It's the middle of August in Maryland, which is just the best time of year if you love being sticky, hot, and mosquito bitten!"

You should really work for the tourism board, Anakin.

"So today we will engage in activities that will take your mind off of such things!" He gestured grandly around the park. "Extreme pinball!"

Oh dear.

There was a pinball games set up inside of the slide, so you will have to insert your body up the down spout of the tube to play. There was one game set on a raft in the center of the lake. There was a pinball machine powered by riding a bike, another one on the ground that you had to play using your feet, and a final one you had to don Drunk Goggles to play.

"Volunteers, listen for your names and retrieve your shirts!"

Re: Arrive and Mingle!

"Hey, Arden," Eleanor gave her a sort of rueful smile back. "Honestly, I'm a little disappointed her name didn't still get called, because that would make for one hell of a Shenanigans. And thanks. It's okay. I guess that just means we'll have to reschedule once she's back to herself again."

Oh no, how terrible that would be!

"It seems a little unfair, though," she added. "That she gets struck with the animal thing already and I've been her much longer and haven't had to deal with it at all myself."

She did sort of wonder if that had to do with how she couldn't transform into a wolf, that it extended beyond just her genetics even into Fandom things, but that just gave her a little bit of a headache if she tried to think about it too much.

Arden was of the opinion that Fandom did as Fandom wished and trying to find any internal logic beyond that was just an exercise in futility.

"Maybe you can bring her along," Arden suggested with a grin. "Pretty sure there's nothing in the rules that says you can't. Besides, then she gets her own shirt."

"I was mostly hoping to get her a shirt while we're down here," Eleanor admitted, "and maybe sneak her in if it looks like she could participate. Otherwise, I'd have just left her in my room. This sounded like more fun, though, and I think she'd be kind of disappointed to have missed out on it."

"She can have mine," Arden declared, as a magnanimous friend ought. "Then you two can match and she won't feel like she missed out too badly."

THIS WASN'T SELFISH, IT WAS FRIENDSHIP!
