Summer Shenanigans, Wednesday mid-morning

[sith_happened]

Worrisomely, the park was empty today aside from a sign that directed everyone to the beach. When they arrived, they would find a huge wooden scaffolding at least 30 feet high (somewhere, an Olypmic platform diving squad was wondering where their stuff had gone) next to the water. In the water was a blue and gold inflatable as long as the scaffolding was high. Further out were ropes marking distance from the inflatable blob.

Everyone have a horrifying mental image of what was going to happen here? Good!

"I have returned after foraging for parts last week," Anakin lied through the megaphone. He'd been a cat. "And we are trying out an all new event! You will climb to the top of the scaffolding and jump down onto the inflatable! This will launch the person at the other end of it into the air! Whoever launches someone the furthest wins! The launchee will also receive points for style before hitting the water."

The points get you nothing. You win nothing. "After you have launched your island mate, you crawl to the launch zone and you get launched by the person behind you. This will be fun."

Possibly only for spectators.

"Come get your rash guards and life jackets, if necessary. Listen for your names!"

"All right, do you want me to take it easy on you or do you really wanna fly?" asked the tiny woman with Force powers.

"What?" Jon looked more than a little alarmed. "I'd prefer to stay in the area!" he hurried to answer.

"I'm not going to send you to the next zip code," she assured him.

"Right. Good." Jon was not entirely reassured, but he nodded he was ready anyway.

"Ready?" she called. She was!

"Ready," Jon called back dubiously.

And with that, Jaina dropped down onto the inflatable with just a little bit of added Force. For effect.

And there was Jon, screwing his eyes shut and gamely trying to just let himself be flung and not give in to the vertigo.

There was only a little screaming.
