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

[weetuskenraider]

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."

Jim had no idea what the hell the animals that were pulling the cart were supposed to be, and he kind of didn't want to be on the wrong end of a four-legged creature with hooves if it decided to kick. And so, just this once, he'd actually picked the option that didn't involve tearing around the streets like a bat out of hell.

Yay, sorting and lifting. Needless to say, after a few minutes of this, Jim was finding himself regretting not just taking his chances with the weird-looking animals.
