Anakin was surrounded by rubber chickens and harmonicas. Completely normal Wednesday, right? There were also t-shirts, blindfolds, and two pool noodles.

Anakin picked up his megaphone. "We will be playing a modified version of tag! All but two of you will be wearing rubber chickens on your feet." As you do.

Anakin held up the rubber chicken. It squeaked menacingly. "Half of you will also have harmonicas in your mouths. Your goal is to remain silent so that the blindfolded swatters can not discover you and hit you with their pool noodle."

This seemed wholesome.

"Listen for your names and then come get your shirts!"

He smiled. "Kitty and Gladio, come retrieve your blindfolds and pool noodles. You're it."

And then he rattled off everyone else who was playing, and if they also got a harmonica in their mouths:

Raiden - harmonica
Flint
Isabelle - harmonica

Gray - harmonica

Everyone was back in the park today, with several stations set up around the area: one with buckets suspended in the air with numbers hanging from them, one with six tables covering up lumpy objects with checked tablecloths, and most intriguingly/disturbingly, a waffle iron on a stool in the center of a red circular rug.

"Welcome to Shenanigans!" Anakin announced. "Today you will be working in small groups today as you make your way around a variety of team building activities! Listen for your names!"

Good morning, everyone! It's time for another summer of Anakin Skywalker Thinks This Teaches Team Building and But Mostly Amuses Himself!

Or "Shenanigans."

The bleachers for viewing were set up in the park, close to the pond and near the Belthazor Commemorative Divot. Food vendors had arrived with hot dogs, popcorn, and rum for the squirrels. And coffee. Just...so much coffee. Huge flatscreens were set up facing the bleachers, which gave people a hint that today's event would not just stay inside the park, and the cameras were trained at...well, ankle height or the sky for now because squirrels and rum.

Anakin and his bullhorn were standing behind a folding table stacked high with brightly patterned shirts, and people who had been here before knew that just because the shirts were free, it never, ever meant you wanted to wear them.

"GOOD MORNING!" he boomed through the completely unnecessary bullhorn when enough people were gathered. "Welcome to another summer of team building activities!"

He might be waiting for a while if he was expecting cheers, just saying.

"Today, as has become tradition, we shall conduct a relay race around the island to acquaint you newcomers with where things are!" he said. "Please listen as your name is called and then come up for your team-building clothing."

AKA: ugly Hawaiian shirts.

"You'll be in--" he did a mental headcount at the number of people in the park, "--two groups of 11. Listen for your names!"

"Hello, everyone!" Anakin boomed through the megaphone as people arrived. "It's the middle of August in Maryland, which is just the best time of year if you love being sticky, hot, and mosquito bitten!"

You should really work for the tourism board, Anakin.

"So today we will engage in activities that will take your mind off of such things!" He gestured grandly around the park. "Extreme pinball!"

Oh dear.

There was a pinball games set up inside of the slide, so you will have to insert your body up the down spout of the tube to play. There was one game set on a raft in the center of the lake. There was a pinball machine powered by riding a bike, another one on the ground that you had to play using your feet, and a final one you had to don Drunk Goggles to play.

Well, the pond was green. Melted crayon green, not pond scum green. Anakin--who had spent entirely too much time watching the Olympics the past few weeks--could work with this! Everyone knew how to kayak, right?

But there was also new food in town, so there would be an eating contest, too. Because balance was important.

"Hello, Fandom, and welcome to Chicago!" he boomed through the megaphone. "Listen for your names!"

He was feeling indulgent today, so the list of voluntolds was relatively short (and the shirts were great):

It was sticky and gross outside, so it was probably a relief to see four dunk tanks out in the grass by the duck pond, right?

Right?

Did it help to know they were filled with water and not pudding? Not really? Understandable.

"Today we're playing a variation on Telestrations to improve our communication skills!" Anakin declared. "Each team member will take a turn in the dunk tank. I will give them a prompt of a word or phrase they must draw in 45 seconds. They will then hand their drawing to their teammate, who will guess what they've drawn and write that on the piece of paper, and cover up the drawing. The third team member then gets 45 seconds to draw what the second team member has written, and the final team member must guess what the third team member has drawn. If it is the prompt I gave originally, no one gets wet. If not, the first team mate goes into the water. Then everyone switches places!"

If, by the end, people are just guessing badly to get people wet, Anakin would not be terribly shocked. "Listen for your names and retrieve your outfits!" That's right, there's not just a shirt this week! There's also shorts and a bucket hat. You were so lucky.

Well, when you have children who went down a Nickelodeon nostalgia rabbit hole, a school credit card, and not much oversight, you get what you're walking into now, everyone:

A Double Dare-style obstacle course, complete with green slime everywhere. Weren't you excited? It doesn't matter. Anakin's excited enough for all of you. He now owned a One-Ton Human Hamster Wheel. "Today's game will be a timed event!" Anakin said. "You will be divided into five groups of four. You must each complete two obstacles on this course. Fastest team wins. You may not use your powers to find the hidden flags. Listen for your names!''

It was not just you, it was a little buggy in the park this morning. Welcome, everyone, to Anakin Skywalker's Salute to Cicadas themed game today!

You were probably not nearly as thrilled about it as Cal and Arden, who'd helped set up said theme. Ohhhh, it was gonna be great!*

"Welcome!" Anakin called out as people arrived. "Today we will have only two teams led by Cal and Arden." Their shirts might be a clue about what ~~horrors~~ fun awaited you! "There is a fascinating scientific event happening on this continent right now, and while it is not impacting us fully, I believe we should embrace learning about the fascinating cicada, which has any number of useful traits."

He smiled. "For instance, did you know that it's extremely nutritious?"

Anakin, why are you like this.

"We will begin with a relay race and end with a game of skill!" Was Flip Cup really a game of skill? Guess we'll find out! "Listen for your names! You may not use your powers."

Was anyone looking slightly worried about the pantry ingredients and refrigerated chests Anakin had hauled out the park? Good. You should be worried. There were also three cooking stations set up, and three stacks of terrible, eye-searing shirts in front of Anakin.

Someone stop him from watching food competitions shows into the early hours, gang. "Today will be a cook off!" he announced far-too-loudly through the megaphone. "As always you will work in teams. Your teams will be divided into pairs and as that pair you will work on an appetizer, then tag in the next pair to complete a main dish, and finally your third team pair will make a dessert!"

That seemed too easy.

"You will be bound together like a three-legged race."

There we go.

"And while the food supplies are overwhelming in the choices available to you, the only equipment you have will be what you would find in a typical college freshman's dorm, or in the home of a recently divorced man. Listen for your names! Don't use your powers!"

Anakin was feeling particularly inspired today, which was why when people arrived for Shenanigans (or made their ill-advised way through the park not realizing it was a Wednesday), they would find a baseball field set up between the playground and the pond. The bleachers had been placed around it so everyone could live out their sudden need to watch a baseball game! The only tiny, tiny problem with this set-up? Anakin had absolutely no idea how baseball worked. Yes, he'd lived on Earth for twenty years. Yes, he'd married a person from Earth. But really, if you looked at Rory and thought "now there's a sports fan," well, that's entirely your mistake.

The field was correct--home plate, pitchers mound, three bases in a diamond--but everything else would get a little haywire. It was Shenanigans, you couldn't expect otherwise, could you?

"Welcome to Shenanigans!" Anakin yelled through the as-always unnecessary bullhorn. "Today we shall be divided into two baseball teams! Instead of shirts, you shall be receiving mascot outfits! I understand that is the real reason to attend a baseball game! Listen for your names, change into your baseball outfits--" sure, Anakin, go with that, "--and then I will explain the rules!"

This would go great.

The Shed of Holding was back in the center of the park, so clearly that was a terrible sign. Anakin also looked very pleased with himself, so...run.

Ohhhh, too late.

"Today, in our last team building exercise for this summer, we have the final obstacles to overcome!" Anakin said through the microphone. "You loved these last summer--" did they though? "--and so I have brought them back again. Listen for your name. You cannot use powers today for any of the events. You can, however, take suggestions from your teammates!"

Though how helpful a teammate will be while you're painting a picture of an alot while riding an alot was anyone's guess, really.

"My thanks to Jane and Raiden for taking over the team-building exercises while I was--" there was a long, awkward pause, "--indisposed."

As a cat. An angry, gray cat.

"But I am myself again and eager to resume our activities!"

Even if said activities looked suspiciously like giant cat toys. Sometimes it was harder to shake off the transformations than others. "You will run in teams through this obstacle course--" of giant cat toys, "--and then get tuna for a reward."

He blinked, catching that part as being not quite correct.

"And then you shall receive no reward other than the satisfaction of a job well done!"

Better!

Had the pond in the middle of the park always looked so pool-like? Absolutely not, but today it had a water slide, a diving board, and far too many pool floats.

"It's too hot and humid to think," Anakin, wearing swim trunks and sunglasses and lounging in one of the lawn chairs he'd ~~totally made someone else~~ placed around the water, "and I hate the sand around the beach, so--" he waved his hand, "pool day. Sort of. Relax. Swim. For those of you--and I know who you are, McGarrett--who can't sit still for more than five minutes, I've set up some lawn games. If you knock the croquet ball into the pond, you're going fishing for it."

He closed his eyes again. "Get your new shirts."

Do you know what helps to get over the reconnection and then additional loss of loved ones? Running around in a giant metal cage in July!

It's true! Anakin read it on Twitter!

There were only two piles in front of Anakin, both in glaring shades of red, white and blue, and more disturbingly, matching piles of wigs.

"Welcome to Fandom Gladiator," Anakin said. "Early thanks to Rosa for already procuring all of the event equipment. Today you will be divided into two teams--Gold and Blue--to fight for the glory of the island."

Or something.

"Since the costumes are more elaborate--" that was one was of looking at it, "--I have also added changing areas, and mirrors to adjust your wigs."

No amount of adjustment would make these work, gang. Just look at Beaker. It was a looooost cause.

"Have fun, don't get hurt! Powers are allowed."

Which might negate the "don't get hurt" clause slightly.

It wasn't Anakin at the park this week, no. He was spending time with his family doing something that involved throwing peanuts at children as a tradition of some sort. Instead, you got a confused but still eager to help out Jane. And an obstacle course. With bungies. How was thar going to work in an open park? Stop thinking about it too hard, that's how.

"I promise I didn't get these shirts," she said immediately. ~~Even though the aesthetic was pretty on par with Love and Thunder.~~

It was important to get it out there.

"But I was given a list of names. How Anakin knew you'd be here... best not to think about it." Like, seriously. "Join your team when I call your name, okay?"

When ~~the poor schmucks~~ Fandom arrived in the park on Wednesday, they would see five wooden rafts, big enough to each hold four people (or Muppets, or a Sidon), bobbing on the pond. In the center of each raft was a metal bucket full of objects. Some were balloon-shaped, some were ball-shaped, others were clearly shoes. One looked suspiciously like Intern Porg.

(Do not throw Intern Porg.)

"In honor of break week, we are doing something that didn't require much effort on my part to set up," Anakin said, which was pretty straight-forward of him. "We're doing a balloon-ish toss! Pick an object, toss it to your teammate on the next raft over. Do not miss, or break the object! Fastest team to get all the way around the circuit wins."

He grinned. "Powers may be used today. And there are plenty of objects in the buckets. No one says you have to only toss things at your own teammates."

Sometimes Anakin just liked to watch the world burn.

Today's games were not being held in the park, which should have been a red flag. Fortunately, Anakin has provided a red flag!

Twenty feet up.

At the end of a very gross-looking wooden pole danging over Serenity Cove.

"Today you're all out of for yourselves," Anakin yelled from the top of recycled scaffolding, which had a 40-foot long greased up telephone pole balanced between it about 20 feet up. "Many thanks to our local bars and restaurants for providing the lard, grease, fish guts, Crisco and bacon fat to really lube this thing up."

Beaker, covered in said grossness, looked decidedly less grateful.

"The rules are simple," Anakin said. "Whoever gets across the pole and reaches the flag 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.

"Pick up your t-shirts--" Anakin did not realize that his shirts were a Philadelphia sports reference, "--and listen for your names!"

Oh boy.

"Vi, Eleanor, Beaker, Summer, Isabella, Steve R, Guillermo, Jon, Beta, Stark, TJ, Eddie, Jane, Graham, Belle, Steph, Steve M, Libby, and Alara! Come on over!"

Today the park was set up with a stage in the center of it, which should have been everyone's first warning. There was also a small herd? committee? congress? of gremlins--looking surly--standing on that stage. There was also some slightly repetitive background music to let you know what sort of fiendishness Anakin had in store today.

"Hello!" he boomed through the megaphone from...nowhere near the stage. Because Skywalkers and gremlins don't mix. "Today is everyone's favorite--" debatable, "--summer game: Gremlin Fashion Show! Today, inspired by the Eurovision Song Contest, you will be recreating iconic Eurovision stage looks for our lovely models."

One of the gremlins snapped their teeth at him.

"...right," Anakin said, taking another step away from the stage. "You will be working in five teams of four. You have been given inspiration photographs and all the ~~handwavy~~ supplies you will need at each table. I suggest splitting into costume creators and gremlin wranglers, but that division of labor is entirely up to you. You will not, unfortunately, be getting your own shirts this week, but feel free to use the costume inspiration to make your own visual representations of team unity."

There was zero chance of that happening, Anakin. " Listen for your names!" he yelled, trailing off as Beaker, in full sexy milkmaid attire, rolled along the grass in a hamster ball that tipped over and caught fire. "I'll just go deal with that," he added.

Anakin's children had outgrown a summer slide obstacle course years ago, but it didn't mean it wasn't stuck in the back of his brain as an option for ~~torture~~ team building.

When everyone arrived at the park, they'd find a rickety-on-purpose wooden bridge across the duck/flamingo pond, an entire line of inflatable hurdles being sprayed by sprinklers, some kind of ring toss with a water cannon pointed at where the participants would be standing, and a Slip 'n Slide that would really serve no purpose other than to remind adults that gravity exists and they shouldn't be on a Slip 'n Slide past the age of about ten.

"Today we're running an obstacle course!" he said. At least it was stupidly humid outside, so getting wet wasn't a hardship. "Fastest through wins! No power usage! Listen for your names!"

Surely this could only end well!

"Today you will learned the distinctive summer sport of beer pong!" Anakin yelled through the loud speaker. "Of course, this being a school-sponsored activity, there will not be beer in the cups. There will be a variety of sodas and seltzers instead."

Oh yeah, he said seltzers.

"Working in teams of two, your goal is to land ping pong balls into the ten cups--and drink those cups' contents--before the other team does! Listen for your names!"

The park was space themed today (thanks for the help, squirrels). For a given and confusing value of “space themed.” There was a space-themed inflatable obstacle course. There were star and planet decorations hung up everywhere (who had hung them up? Possibly squirrels). There were little toy spaceships. There was a large inflatable pool full of very dark and glittery jello.

The only thing missing today was Anakin. In his place was Stark, looking a bit lost even though he’d somehow planned all of this. Actually, the megaphone was missing as well. Stark was just going to yell instead.

“Anakin isn’t here but he wanted me to do this. I don’t know why. I don’t know why he does anything.” Did anyone truly understand Anakin’s motivations?

“We have 4 different activities today. An obstacle course. Stomp rockets. Planetary rings. And…jello.” Everyone, be sure to thank Summer for activity number 4!

“Listen for your names, collect your shirts, and…enjoy? Oh. And no powers.” That was cheating!

The Shed of Holding was back in the center of the park, so clearly that was a terrible sign. Anakin also looked very pleased with himself, so...run.

Ohhhh, too late.

"Today we have more obstacles to overcome!" Anakin said through the microphone and seriously, someone take away his access to British television shows. "Listen for your name and you cannot use powers today for any of the events. You can, however, take suggestions from your teammates!"

Today was hot and humid, which meant that it was the perfect temperature for all of the water balloon-themed games Anakin had set out in the park today.

(Most of them were filled with water and that's all that matters, right?)

"As usual, you will be working in teams," Anakin shouted through his megaphone. "There are various stations for you to attempt! The most accurate team wins!"

Did anyone even care about winning these days?

There was a definite smell of grease in the air along the beach that should worry anyone who'd every experienced one of Anakin's Wednesdays before, and that was only if they didn't notice the enormous, greased-up pole resting between two wooden scaffolds about ten feet above the water.

Or the greased-up pigs in a pen.

Or the greased-up flag pole.

Anakin liked a theme, that's what we're saying here.

"Today is all about adaptation!" Anakin yelled into the bullhorn when everyone had arrived. "Your teams have to attempt--individually--get get across the pole in the water and then up the flag pole. Your times, should anyone complete these tasks--will be added together, along with your efforts in the pairs greased pig collecting competition. Fastest team wins."

Who took Anakin to a county fair. Really.

"Listen for your names! There will be five teams of six and you may not use any special powers to assist yourself or your teammates. This is all physical prowess and mental stamina."

Did anyone want to be awake for this after the kraken drill?

No.

Was that going to stop Anakin? Of course not!

The bleachers were down on the beach today, along with eight large rafts floating semi-precariously out in the water. Was this tempting a real kraken to arrive?

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaybe.

"Today it's really, ridiculously hot," Anakin yelled through the megaphone. "So I'm letting you get wet! You're welcome!"

Wait to hear what you're doing first before expressing your gratitude.

"You will be conducting a water balloon fight out there on the water. You will be given hand-held balloon launchers, and a bucket full of water balloons." Which may or may not contain water. "You will have teams of eight. Fastest team to pass a water balloon all the way down the line wins. You get a time penalty at the end for each balloon that breaks along the way.

The park today looked like an insane person with a ridiculous love of bunting had been allowed to go absolutely nuts setting up mazes.

(In related news, Beaker had been consulted for ideas.)

There were four main areas ~~of concern~~: a maze with four wheelie recycling bins set before it; a series of folding tables with a variety of fruit and implements on top of them; two large fences with roughly 300 rubber ducks perched on top of them (and a velvet rope 100 feet away from it); and a final maze of bunting with a chair in the center of it.

In the center of all of this mess was a large shed with a closed door.

Anakin looked extremely pleased with himself as he leaned against the Table o' Terrible T-Shirts.

"Welcome back!" he yelled into his bullhorn. "I am pleased to see such enthusiasm for our weekly community building activities."

Sure, let's go with that interpretation. "Today we have several new obstacles for you to master! The specifics of each shall be made clear-" well. Clear-ish. "--as we move to them. The team with the most number of points wins! Listen for your names:"

"Welcome back to another week of team-building!" Anakin yelled through his megaphone. "Today you will be in four teams of seven and you will be fishing with your toes for valuable prizes!"

They weren't that valuable, folks.

He gestured at the four inflatable pools located around the park with folding chairs circling them. "Working together, you have to pull 21 smallish objects from the water--" and be grateful that it's just water, "--using only your toes. And no powers. The fastest team to accomplish this wins. Listen for your name, come get your shirt and take off your shoes!"

Good morning, everyone! It's time for another summer of Anakin Skywalker Thinks This Teaches Team Building and Also Amuses Himself (Mostly the Second Thing) but "Shenanigans" Is Easier!

The bleachers for viewing were set up in the park backed up to the pond and near the Belthazor Commemorative Divot. Food vendors, remembering how this worked, had arrived with hot dog, popcorn, and rum for the squirrels. And coffee. Just...so much coffee. Huge flatscreens were set up facing the bleachers, which gave people a hint that today's event would not just stay inside the park, and the cameras were trained at...well, ankle height or the sky for now because squirrels and rum.

Anakin and his bullhorn were standing behind a folding table stacked high with brightly patterned shirts and people who had been here before knew that just because the shirts were free, it never, ever meant you wanted to wear them.

"GOOD MORNING!" he boomed through the bullhorn when enough people were gathered. "Welcome to another summer of team building activities!"

He might be waiting for a while if he was expecting cheers, just saying.

"Today, as has become tradition, we shall conduct a relay race around the island to acquaint you newcomers with where things are!" he said. "Please listen as your name is called and then come up for your festive t-shirts. We shall have four teams of eight."

Anakin was back in his accustomed spot in the center of the park, surrounded by piles of t-shirts and something that looked slightly like water pistols.

Judging by the many colors Beaker was splashed in, they weren't just water pistols.

There was also an extensive obstacle course set up throughout the park, complete with pits, snare traps, sniper nests, and bunkers.

Had he blatantly stolen all of the best ideas from a summer of paintball classes?

Yes. Yes, he had.

In the center of the obstacle course was a flagpole with a blue and yellow gremlin flag flying high.

"For our final meeting," he began, "we will be working in teams to capture that flag! Navigate the obstacle course while your competitors shoot at you with these--" he lifted up a water gun, "--vintage 1980s disappearing ink guns!"

Judging by Beaker, that ink didn't disappear that fast.

"Meep meep meep meep!"

Anakin glanced down. "Oh. Well. Using these vintage water guns that have been filled with printer ink!"

So, the most expensive ammunition on the planet.

"Listen for your names!"

Oh hey, Anakin and Beaker weren't here today! Instead there was a short brunette with a megaphone. She didn't need it, she just liked it.

"Welcome to today's Shenanigans. Grandfather's not here. I'm Jaina and I'm going to be your drill instructor today," she announced. "Today you're going to be doing a mud run. You will get dirty, you won't like it, and I won't care."

Jaina hadn't realized it was Truth Day, that was just how she talked to people.

"We have five obstacles for you to get through to make it to the end, where you will win absolutely nothing. Maybe my grudging respect. No teams today, it's every being for themselves. And I don't know hardly anyone's names so whoever I point to has to come down here and participate, and I know who I'm pointing to so don't think you're getting away with anything."

The park was completely overrun with alots this morning including Alot of Time, clanging away covered in clocks; Alot of Loooooove, covered in hearts and doing fairly unspeakable things to the trees until Anakin used the Force to hit them with Alot of Water; Alot of Noise, covered in kazoos and snare drums; and Alot of Nothing, which Anakin kept walking into and cursing at.

"Hear we are--" Anakin yelled into his megaphone, "--on another day of Shenanigans."

"EMEP," Beaker said, nodding.

"I had something else planed," he continued, "but the alots are causing ALOT OF MESS."

And here came one, covered in mud, so thank you for that, Anakin.

"We'll divide into too groups and coral them into these pens."

He frowned: the animal pens had turned into writing implements. "We'll create holding pens and then coral them."

Corral. Something.

"Do not attract more hear!"

By, oh, say, doing Alot of Complaining.

"Good morning and welcome to the Fandom Pentathlon!" Anakin said through his bullhorn, surrounded by bunting and Olympic rings. "In the spirit of the Olympic games, we too will be competing in teams in fencing, shooting, cross-country running--"

Beaker beside him was looking more and more panicked. "Meep meep meep meep meep!"

Anakin put down the bullhorn. "You what?"

"Meep meep meep meep meep meep meep meep meep--"

Anakin listened to the extensive explanation with a long sigh. "So. Slight mixup. Beaker has pulled five Olympic sports from a hat and that is what you will be competing! So: skateboarding, pairs canoe slalom, beach volleyball, archery, and equestrian jumping."

More meeping.

"Really? We could not find horses. So...alot of jumping." The alots--kind of buffalo-adjacent but made out of springs--in their pens made alot of noise. Anakin sighed again. "Here goes nothing. Listen for your names."

Anakin was running slightly late this morning thanks to getting trapped in the ice cream shop, which meant that the ice cream supplies he'd picked up were slightly melted. It was okay! He would adapt and overcome!

Weren't you thrilled about his ingenuity? Weren't you?

"Welcome back to the light, everyone," Anakin said with a smile. "Today we're going to do something easy: an ice cream sundae relay! Working in teams, you will build a sundae using ice cream, chocolate sauce, whipped cream and a cherry. The fastest team to complete it wins!"

That seemed too easy.

"The first name I call from each team will be the being you make the sundae on!"

Anakin was holding the shenanigans today mostly as a way to conduct a head count on who was still around and comfortable enough to venture outside. The seating and tables had been lashed securely to trees in the park, and the inflatable whack-a-mole games had been bungee corded to each other and then to a tree.

Anakin wasn't losing anyone down a hole during this, thanks.

"Welcome," he said to those who arrived. "Let's work out some stress." He gestured to the inflated games. "We'll be in groups of seven. Six of you are moles--your job is to collect as many balls on the surface of the game as you can. One of you has an inflatable mallet: your job is to smack everyone on the head before they retrieve all the balls. Let's work on those reflexes, everyone."

"Today, since it's between sessions, Beaker has decided to take point," Anakin announced from where his bullhorn was poking out from an absolutely enormous pile of donuts.

The new raccoons had apparently decided to show up today to get new customers through their amazing donuts...tower...things.

So. There were a lot of donuts.

Just. A lot.

"Today we're going to use these donuts--thank you, County Donuts--in a relay race...thing. You can only pass them under your chin. Fortunately, we have a lot of extras for when you drop them!"

He turned to Beaker. "Are there any other rules?"

Beaker meeped extensively. Anakin's eyes went wide. "Well, that's going to get messy."

"Meep meep."

Anakin coughed. "Apparently the donuts are also on a timer and they will disintegrate into sprinkles--or jelly, or cream--if you take too long."

Thank you, Muppet physics.

"Listen for your names! There will be four teams of seven."

Beaker meeped smugly.

Anakin sighed. "And I, apparently, have been included. Come get your t-shirts."

"Today we'll do something slightly less physical," Anakin announced through his bullhorn, "though really, if you think about it, it could get a little physical."

That boded well.

"This week, teams do not get t-shirts--" Things were looking up! "--because you may use the fabric from them--and from all the other shirts and socks--to create fashion!"

And no one knew fashion like a guy who'd been wearing a robe for the better part of 40 years.

Beaker meeped next to him. "Right," Anakin added because this part was important. "Fashion for gremlins! It will be entertaining. Your gremlin will need something to cover their body as well as some sort of hat! You will work in teams of four! Try not to get bitten!"

He waved them towards tables full of ~~moddable~~ materials: fabric, lace, twine, buttons, zippers, old macramé gremlin outfits...

Another Wednesday, another insane set-up in the park!

Today there was a new, six part metal obstacle course set up: a tilted cube, a mountain, a loading bay, the ridge, the front line, and The Sisters.

"Welcome to professional tag," Anakin yelled into his megaphone, "which is apparently a sport now. We will divide into two teams: Team Pizza will be the taggers, Team Dread will be the, um, don't get tagged."

He was from a different galaxy, what do you want from him?

"Going in pairs, you will have 20 seconds in the obstacle course to either track down or evade the other person. If you get tagged, the other team gets a point. If you evade getting tagged, your team gets a point It's pretty easy. Listen for your name and then come get your shirt!"

"Hello everyone!" Anakin boomed through his megaphone. Was it absolutely necessary for him to be so loud so early?

No, but Anakin was mean.

"Today we are playing the very famous--" in camp circles, maybe? "--game called Burst the Balloons! As you can see, Beaker and I have scattered balloons around the park."

Beaker meeped at Anakin.

"--and filled them with a variety of surprises. Oh?" He grinned. "Well done for that initiative, Beaker. The balloons are filled with surprises. Working in teams, you must race to break all of your balloons before the other teams do! Listen for your names!"

Did Anakin look weirdly chipper today? It was because he was just so excited about field day! Really! There were a number of stations set up around the park ~~with varying degrees of ridiculousness~~ that would definitely not be funny only for people watching.

Cough. Really.

"We will be in three teams of nine today!" Anakin yelled into the bullhorn, "so come up and get your t-shirts!"

Whether everyone would stay clothed was another question. And no, Anakin had no idea where these clearly-intended-for-various-elementary-schools shirts came from and how they might only fit Beaker.

...they might only fit Beaker.

Beaker had definitely ordered these.

When everyone arrived in the park, they would notice that the observation bleachers had been moved to the center of the area and the rest of it was covered in what seemed to be a squirrel-sized Ninja Warrior obstacle course.

Surely this would end well.

Anakin--Beaker was nowhere to be found--was standing behind the folding table that normally had a number of terrible t-shirts for the teams to wear. This week the shirts seemed...strangely tiny...but that was probably nothing to worry about, nor was the piles of brightly colored fake rabbits' feet, nor was the ray gun propped up against the table leg.

Anakin was from space, after all. Maybe today he brought a ray gun?

"We already did an obstacle course around town," Anakin began, yelling through the megaphone, "and one with mud last summer. So this year, to save money, I made this physically difficult course smaller--" sure, "--and will simply shrink you all to fit into it!"

...wait.

"Thank you to Barry for your assistance in this matter. The gun works as intended and is completely safe, right Beaker?"

Beaker, squirrel-sized, saluted from on top of his pile of t-shirts. "Meep!"

And if you can't trust Beaker for scientific safety, who could you trust? "You will be in six teams of four. Each of you must make a complete circuit around the course, though you may assist each other in figuring out how to get through the various obstacles. Your brains and mouths still work, after all. Listen for your names and then come down to get zapped--" technical term--"and receive your accessories." He did not say anything about not using powers this week.

Good morning, everyone! The sun was shining, the weather was getting pleasantly warm, ~~the freaking gross cicadas were crunching under your feet~~ and Anakin had set himself up in the park with a bullhorn and a bunch of giant plastic storage containers full of ice water.

Surely this will end well for everybody!

"Today you will participate in the ten toes challenge!" Anakin announced. "Working in teams, you will lay on your backs and balance these containers of ice water on your socked feet. Then, going in a circle, you must each take off one sock, then the other, without tipping the water onto yourselves. It's about teamwork!"

And gravity. And Anakin's personal amusement.

"Come down when I call your name and get your team socks!" He grinned. "Oh, and no powers again this week, please."
