Summer Shenanigans, Wednesday mid-morning

[sith_happened]

"Today we're living life a quarter mile at a time," Anakin announced with a grin, "and if you weren't at the movie night on Monday, you'll just have to be confused for a second. Today is all about car racing!"

He looked at the two tracks he'd set up, neither of which featured cars (one was tricycles, and one was rickshaws), and shrugged. "Well. Sort of. Listen for your names! Today it's every person for themselves, but you will be moving in groups of four."

Yes, individual glory even if the movie had been about family. Anakin liked to keep you on your toes.

"Listen for your names! I will be participating today."

Race!

Tricycle Racing!

[sith_happened]

There are four child-sized tricycles (and four helmets because safety first)! There is an inflated track for you to race around. Three laps! Go go go!

Well, fine, if Kitty was gonna do this to herself, then she might as well go all out. She raced that trike over an inflatable course like a trike had never been raced over an inflatable course before.

Gray...fell asleep in the middle of the race. Just a quick little catnap, but...yeah. No way he was coming in any place but last.

Quinn put her foot on the seat of the tricycle and used it like a scooter.

This was not actually more effective for her than trying to pedal it around the inflatable track.

Ah well.

Maybe Jaina had earned this after she'd made her husband catch waffle ingredients on his head. (She had.) But joke's on you, she was actually decent at riding a tricycle. Probably because of her short little legs.

Remy was tall. The tricycle was not.

Remy was very glad that there was not a Wolverine anywhere around right now to see him struggle to pedal without dislocating his knees.

Anakin's legs were much too long for this tricycle, and while he did his best, it wasn't enough to beat Summer. "Sithspit," he grumbled, coming in second.

Summer had just come back riding on a pretty big high as a fierce and impressive competitor in some brutal fighting pits last week, and that competitive spirit still beat strong in her soul. So you better believe she was tearing up on that tricycle like the speed fiend she truly was.

Rickshaw Racing!

[sith_happened]

McGarrett, your time has come. Take the rickshaws on a loop around the island! Enjoy the teeth rattling that comes with going up and down stairs! Do not crash into the popcorn machine in front of the city hall.

McGarrett.

Kitty was doing pretty well with her rickshaw till she hit that rock on Apocalypse Avenue. The beginning or the end of the street, you ask? Never you mind.

Re: Rickshaw Racing: Family

[grenadesandohana]

Steve's time had come! His spine would definitely not thank him tomorrow for how fast he took those stairs, but he won and that was incredibly gratifying for his ego.

He didn't even explode the popcorn machine, which meant that it was Danny's fault when that happened.

Quinn was doing great on this one!

Until she lost control of the rickshaw on some stairs and went careening into someone's small plot of decorative hedges.

Ugh. So close.

Re: Rickshaw Racing: Just Furious

[solo_sword]

Was Jaina taking this too seriously? Yes, she was. Was she using powers to propel herself and the rickshaw further? Actually no. She was just going that hard at it.

. . . Yeah, Remy didn't have an excuse for this one. Except that he happened to drive the rickshaw past a very lovely NPC passerby and stopped for a chat.

What? He had absolutely nothing in this race to motivate him to win. Not even his pride. Skywalker had seen to that.

Podracing!

[sith_happened]

Anakin's in charge and he says he can take you into the Flight Shed, fire up the podracing simulator, and school you all. Your various simulated explosive crashes will be broadcast on the flatscreens in the park so no one misses out on your exploits.

Podracing is hard and Anakin has not set the controls to easy mode.
