fandomhigh | Try Not To Die!! [Tuesday, July 5th]

Anyone who might have been nervous about showing up for the first day of a workshop with a worrisome name (and two exclamation points) to find an intimidating-looking teacher would get a pass on that today; rather than Anakin waiting for them all by the London docks they'd find Tahiri, hands tucked behind her back and her feet bare as always.

"Hello, everyone," she said rapidly but clearly once the students had assembled. "Master Skywalker's away today, but he'll be back next week. If any of you haven't gotten a chance to explore our new neighboring city yet, now's the day you get to do it."

She gestured to the clue box she stood beside. "Here's how this works: you have two tasks to complete by the end of the class period before you come check in with me -- no, I'm not telling you where to find me yet. Figuring that out'll be part of your job. And I'd really rather not have to explain any roster changes to Master Skywalker next week, so please." She stepped away from the clue box and gestured to the class. "Please try not to die."

After getting his clue, Bruce 'encouraged' the mail driver to make his way with all due haste to the Marble Arch with Bruce riding on top of the wagon. When he spotted Tahiri, Bruce dove from the wagon and rolled, springing into a sprint to finish off the final distance.

Yes, the majority of that was completely superfluous. But at least it had style.

"Well?" Bruce asked as he slowed to a stop in front of Tahiri.

"Flashy," Tahiri teased lightly; she'd have done the same thing just because she could. (Maybe she'd give it a try later, too; it looked like fun.) "And impressive, since you're first."

"Excellent," Bruce said evenly, even if he did show a small smile. He liked coming in first. "Hopefully that's a good sign for the rest of the session."

Tahiri glanced at the still moving wagon and grinned. "I think you've set the bar awfully high."

Hopefully some people wouldn't fall all over themselves trying to beat that. Stephanie.
