Baby's Second Fieldwork [Tuesday, Period 3]

[jedigrammarians]

Aphra's class were meeting at the Danger Shop today.

"So sometimes in order to do important historical and cultural research, you've gotta go places and do things that are a bit unsavoury." Or a lot unsavoury. Try a lot. "And even just telling you kids about that brings up a lot of thorny questions, let alone making sure you got some practical experience. It's the kind of thing that really gets you thinking."

Mostly about whether she really wanted to deal with the hassle if she misplaced a student. So many forms to fill out. "But then I found this simulation so that's one problem solved." Aphra turned the sim on with a flourish, revealing the kind of grimy, neon-lit cityscape straight out of Knife-Sprinter, only with more aliens. "Welcome, to Nar Shaddaa, deep in the heart of Hutt Space. If you want to buy it, someone's selling it, if you want to sell, someone's buying, and if you're not careful they'll take the stuff you weren't selling too."

"Anyway, we'll go with an easy assignment. Quick supply run, get me some nerf jerky and a bottle of juma juice."

Today was another venue shift--this time to the cleared out patch in the Preserve where the student cabins used to be located.

Those who arrived would find themselves surrounded by cut logs, nails, saws, and other construcion material.

Would Anakin use the weekly shenanigans as an excuse to get free labor out of the island inhabitants? Darn right he would.

"Today we're going to do a bit of a riff on the Lumberjack Games," he began, yelling through his megaphone. "But carefully because losing limbs is no one's idea of a good time."

And he'd know. Cough. "First we'll work in pairs to slice through five logs each, and then we'll race up those tall trees and retrieve the flags I've set there. Afterwards, we'll award the fish and everyone is welcome to help us begin to rebuild the cabins so that we can camp again."

He waved his hand and the fish--beautifully rainbowed and shiny now---and into his hand. He looked pleasantly suprised by its appearance. "Right. Hernando and Zack have clearly gone to a lot of trouble this week, so don't set the poor thing on fire again, okay?"
