Try Not to Die!! [Tuesday, May 10, 3rd period]

[sith_happened]

Today, Anakin was a little bit grateful for the cloak he habitually wore as he waited for his class to arrive outside on the border between Fandom and the Viking village. It was a little chilly for a guy who grew up in the desert.

"The island has given us too great an opportunity to ignore today in this course," Anakin told them as his robe flapped occasionally in the breeze in front of a sturdy little clue box. "You will have to complete two tasks today that will hopefully teach you a little bit more about the Vikings and their traditions. Try not to die!"

With that he stepped out of the way of the clue box.

Re: Detour: Weaving

You know, usually Gabrielle had no trouble whatsoever communicating with people, no matter what ancient faraway country she ended up with. Yes, that was weird. No, it wasn't worth asking how it worked.

It was a moot point, anyway, because it wasn't working so well for her today, and her stammered attempts to get the woman to slow down and go back a couple of steps were way less persuasive than usual.

Luckily, both her Amazon tribe and the villagers of Poteidaia had intricate craftsmanship traditions of their own that Gabrielle had observed enough to get the gist of things, and by dint of a lot of squinting and muttering to herself she managed to figure it out sooner than she'd thought.

. . . she was also not above playing up the earnest, adorable, eager-to-please role to the hilt to soften the woman up, and despite the (inexplicable) language barrier, that worked well enough to get her past the weaving station in good time.
