fandomhigh | Summer Shenanigans, Wednesday mid-morning

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!"

You know what's coming. You can't not know.

Put your phones somewhere safe, get ready to get wet. And airborne. Wet and airborne.

Belle will drop down onto the inflatable and crawl to the end. Hannibal will jump down to launch her, and so on!

~~ooc payback~~

Someday McGarrett might come back to Earth...

Or tries!

~~and the RNG cackles~~

Sorry, Luma.

That's a lot of shoulder on the inflatable, at least for a sec.

Because that's only fair.

He was keeping a close eye out as everyone dropped and would be using the Force to prevent broken necks, if necessary.

He was keeping a close eye out using his comlink's vid feed because this was comedy gold.

The mental image of this gives me joy.

Lydia didn't even mean to be here. Lydia had just been going for a walk. She hadn't meant to even go near the beach.

Lydia still couldn't swim.

You know who still didn't have Wednesdays Portal Days out of his system, despite Summer being gone for a whole week by now? Yeah. This guy. And getting a portal home for just a day would cost money Jack didn't really want to spare, and...

... well, and then he found himself wandering past Skywalker's latest gauntlet again. At a safe distance, because he knew what get-roped-in-distance was and he was absolutely not stupid enough to breach it, but still.

Ugh. His therapist kept saying he should probably talk to Anakin - not for Anakin's sake, but to resolve some of the remaining mess in his head. Especially a day before talking to that new protege of his about the realities of. Everything.

Ugggh.

He stood on the periphery for a while, waiting for the circus to end.

Only when it finally did, did he start to walk towards Anakin. Force senses set to very vigilant, but still.

Jaina wasn't thrilled. The rash guards were just salt in the wound.

You would think Henry would've seen this coming.

You would have only been partially correct.

"Oh dear," he said. "Here we go again."

Henry, too, could not swim.
