Summer Shenanigans, May 20, 2026

Anakin was getting wily.

Realizing that people might've learned to avoid the park on Wednesdays, he'd set up his ambush silent cry for help team building exercise by Serenity Cove instead.

It was very normal to have built a scaffold to hold a 40 foot long, very gross-looking wooden pole dangling twenty feet up over Serenity Cove over the last several weeks, right?

Even if it was twenty feet up?

"I am Anakin Skywalker," Anakin called from the top of scaffolding through his unnecessary megaphone in a manner not dissimilar to a person yelling on a street corner. "Many thanks to our local bars and restaurants for once again providing the lard, grease, fish guts, Crisco and bacon fat to really lube this thing up. The rules are simple," Anakin said. "Whoever gets across the pole and reaches the red flag at the end wins all you can eat at Mooby Burger for a week!" Whether Mooby Burger was a good prize or not was entirely up to the winners. "You may walk, run, or slide your way across, but you may not use supernatural powers."

"And thank you in advance for volunteering!"

Which was news to those volunteers.

"And you also get a free t-shirt!" A surprisingly inoffensive shirt, since Anakin didn't see the point in wasting the good ones on an event where the shirts would be immediately destroyed.

He began pointed out people as they walked past: "McGarrett, Hannibal, new kid, Rogers, Kitty, Sairis, Remy, Lydia--" he paused. "--there are water wings as well."

Sorry about the dress, Lydia. "--Rey, Eramus, Henry, Flint, Mariner, Jonathan, annnd Vi."

"Get on up here."

Hope you didn't mind Steph whistling at you from the stands while looking kind of smug, Vi, because that's what was happening.

Vi paused in the middle of tearing off her sleeves to flip Steph off. Lovingly.

Steph blew a kiss back at her. "If you win, I'll make sure you get a bonus prize," she yelled.

Vi grinned back as she finished ripping off her sleeve. "It'll have to be pretty impressive to beat free burgers," she called back.

Steph put a hand to her forehead and flung herself backwards like she'd been shot, except she maybe overbalanced just a bit and nearly fell out of her seat in the process. "I should have known I couldn't compete with free food."

"Hey, I believe in your ability to think creatively," Vi said, watching Steph with fond amusement.

"Aw, thanks. I have a brand to maintain, you know," Steph replied with a chuckle. "You'll look so badass anyway --" what it said about her that she thought so despite knowing perfectly well what this challenge entailed was probably best left unexamined -- "that I can totally deal with taking a backseat to all those burgers for a week."

Just add it to the pile of things they weren't ready to talk about.

"Aw, you know you'll always come first with me," Vi said with a completely innocent grin.

The things they took big elaborate detours around to avoid talking about them?

Steph rolled her eyes in the most affectionate possible way. "Just promise to spare a burger or two for me? Because if you win this, you're basically taking care of dinner for a week, you realize that."
giveittoyoursister: (You can call *her* anything)

Which was an impressive feat, considering they also pretended they didn't exist.

"What's mine is yours," Vi promised, hand over her heart.
