Anakin was getting wily.
Realizing that people might've learned to avoid the park on Wednesdays, he'd set up hisambush 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."

Re: Go Across the Pole!
Remy could control his charges and his charm, but his agility just happened. Which is to say that the dramatic, arm-flailing slip-and-drop he took about halfway across the pole when it was his turn was entirely deliberate.
As was tucking himself into a ball to get the largest splash out of the cove as he could when he hit the water.
Ahhh, summer!
