Try Not To Die!!!! [Tuesday, August 16]

[weetuskenraider]

Much like last week, it was only Tahiri who waited at the causeway for the students to show up this week.

"It seems Master Skywalker is still occupied this week," she told everyone once they'd assembled, sparing a frown for the students who hadn't returned yet, either. "Which is a shame, since this is the last class and I'm sure he would have enjoyed putting you all through something especially difficult."

Although given the town across the causeway, how difficult could it possibly be? Don't answer that.

"Anyway, it's my understanding that this particular time period on Earth is notable for its cultural, er . . . quirks," Tahiri continued. "Which is what you'll all be dealing with today, so have fun, possibly learn something, and try not to die."

The sweeping-arm gesture she made as she stepped away from the clue box wasn't nearly as dramatic as Anakin's might have been, but she wasn't even going to try to match that anyway.

Detour: Wheels

[weetuskenraider]

Step into the diner, and you'll be handed a tray of ten milkshakes, a uniform, and a pair of rollerskates. Get all ten milkshakes served (spill any and you'll have to go back to the counter for more) and the girl hanging out by the jukebox will give you your next clue. Oh, by the way? Yes, it's pretty busy in there. Good luck!

Cara had to start over a great many times, not because she had any especial trouble keeping her balance once she got started, but she mysteriously kept 'accidentally' spilling milkshakes on obnoxious men.

Busy diner. Just like home. Jim normally wouldn't have opted to do the task that so closely resembled his chores back at the Benbow, but they went and sold him with a promise of wheels.

Not quite the wheels he had been expecting, but once he figured out how to stand up on them (which took a few minutes, granted), he was skating around and serving milkshakes like he'd been doing it all his life.

Which he had.

Elle went for the wheels.

This might have been a mistake, as she couldn't quite manage to control herself.

But at least she didn't spill anything, even if she did wheel out of control a few times.

Rollerskates? Drat. She'd just heard the waitressing part. It definitely took her a bit to get used to them, but once she did it was a great deal of fun. In fact she stayd a bit longer to help out with the rush before heading off to find Tahiri.

This was not going to end well, was it?

Actually it didn't turn out as badly as it might have; Stephanie was pretty agile.

Not, however, completely light on her feet, though, so a few milkshakes took the brunt of her overly-fancy attempts. Sorry, milkshakes.
