Try Not to Die!! [Tuesday, June 14, 2011]

A visibly annoyed (but at least he wasn't a kitten any more) Anakin stood in front of the Danger Shop's door waiting for his class to arrive, playing with a ribbon that had, until a few hours ago, been decoration around his neck. "Since we did the Old West last week, I decided to program the simulation with a scenario that is more familiar to me," he said, opening the door. "Welcome to the forest moon of Endor. Try not to die."

Not like yourself. Please count off as 1 or 2 as you sign in as well (first person is 1, second 2, third 1, etc.), for nefarious purposes later in the class.

Escape from Stormtroopers who are trying (ineffectually) to kill you by flying from one end of the forest of ~~redwoods~~ giant alien trees to the other on a speeder bike without crashing into a tree and dying.

The helmet is not optional today. At the end of the course, you'll find a box with your next clue.

Anakin has twisted this one today: Your signing in to class decides which task of the two you get today. Ones are "Guest of Honor" and twos are "Main Course."

Welcome to an Ewok Village! After a complete makeover (the weird little bears will attempt to braid your hair not matter how little of it you have), they will bring you to their main campfire where--surprise!--the main course for a dinner in your honor is...another ~~handwavy~~ classmate. Get the Ewoks to change their mind without killing them or your classmate.

How good are you at knot untying? The Ewoks have captured you and tied you to a post in prepare for slow roasting over an open fire as part of a delicious feast for another classmate. Your task is to get untied or to convince an Ewok to untie you before you get a little crispy.

Then run like hell.

Though they won't be able to save you from the Ewoks.

Demand to know what is wrong with his galaxy, if you must.

As you are in the Danger Shop, no one will actually get eaten by the adorable bears with serious issues. The simulations would just go dark and you'd find yourself back at the speeder bikes, having to start it over again (like how you'd cheat on a Choose Your Own Adventure book when you ended up dying stupidly.../tangent)

And the RNG says this is how it turned out:

1. Angelica Jones
2. Surreal SaDiablo
3. Toby Logan
4. Squall Leonhart
5. Jack Carter
6. Prince Alexander of Daventry
7. Gabrielle
8. Cara
9. Lindsay Weir
10. Warren Worthington III
11. Richie Ryan
12. Annie Edison
13. Shane Gooseman
14. Simon Bellamy
15. Jocelyn Fairchild
16. Sam LaCroix
17. Cassidy
18. Alice Cullen
19. Kate Daniels

Warren Worthington III - 1!

Sam LaCroix ; 2

Okay, Warren could handle this. This was flying. That was kind of his thing.

Flying through dense forest at breakneck speeds that he couldn't hope to reach with his wings while there were guys trying to kill him... That was a new one, and he ended up getting a little too absorbed in not getting hit than he was in actually strictly getting away.

He was still kind of new at this 'being in danger' thing. He was learning.

Sam could tell this wasn't going to go well as soon as he laid eyes on the speeder bike. If he'd been a lucky guy, the controls would have been like a motorcycle but yeah, they weren't.

Helmet on, Sam jumped on the speeder bike and managed to get it going. He started and stopped several times while trying to get used to the controls before he thought he'd gotten it. He stomped down on the accelerator and took off, speeding through the trees.

Unfortunately, Sam's instincts weren't quick enough to sharply turn to avoid a tree and he ended up turning the bike too much. He clipped a fallen log and yep, the simulation stopped. When it restarted, he was back at the beginning. This...was going to suck.

"Classmates are not for eating!"

Warren, short, poorly-braided hair and all, was going to have to take a few minutes to explain in elaborate pantomime exactly why the main course was not going to be somebody in his class, thank you.

He managed to get the point across, but it was a bit distracting, trying to do so while little teddy bear guys were trying to groom his feathers in an attempt to appease the angry winged one.

"Never looking at teddy bears the same way again," Warren mumbled as he tried to fingercomb his hair back into place, feathers slightly ruffled to account for all the weird little decorative things that had been stuck between them, presumably an attempt to make him look pretty.

"Ever."

Sam was already way behind because of his misadventures on the speeder bike and now he was tied up and having to get himself loose or negotiate with a fuzzy bear.

Sam took one look at the bear and started trying to untie himself. His fingers were clumsy and the knots were tight and tangled. His fingers ended up sore but he did manage to get the knots undone before he ended up as someone's dinner.

Then, he took off running.

"I'm not meant for driving," Sam said as he ran up. He shook his sore fingers out and then shook his head. "And I'm never looking at stuffed animals the same again."

Sam knew he'd sucked at this one but he was just glad to have gotten out of it without too much trouble. He'd managed to finish, at least.

Cara, 1!

This was just like riding a horse. An extremely fast, flying horse, with no sense of its own to avoid things so Cara had to do all the thinking and reacting to not crash into things.

So maybe not just like riding a horse, but that exhilarating enough Cara took slightly longer than she should have to complete the course.

Cassidy, 2

Alice Cullen, 1

Cassidy and Speeder Bikes are not things that should be in the same sentence.

She wanted to learn this machine, she so really did.

However, the desire to learn it and the reality of how long it was going to take were two completely different things. The simulation probably had a record number of restarts with her today.

Kate Daniels, 2

Cassidy was much better at getting untied than at riding the bikes.

However, it took her a few moments to get over her shock that these animals were trying to make her into dinner for her classmates.

Some Craft and a couple of layered shields later, Cassidy was as far from the fuzzy natives as possible.

Funny, she hadn't realized that animals could slide into in the Twisted Kingdom, too...

"I am not food," Cassidy said a little more sourly than she usually was in class. Apparently Anakin had found something that could indeed take the cheerfulness out of her for a few minutes.

After spending far longer than she wanted to convincing the bears that no, she didn't need her hair braided, or touched at all, thank you very much, Cara was in no mood to be polite about eating a classmate.

There was a difference been hitting the bears to make her point and killing them and she took full advantage of it.
