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

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.

Monochromatically.

Your first clue leads you to a stretch of two lane highway just outside of town, and to a go-kart. Spread out along each side of the road are several sets of Burma Shave signs -- the small ones, not the larger billboards of the late 1950s and early 1960s, so you might want to be careful with your go-kart throttle.

Why? Because in order to get your next clue, you'll have to spot all the signs for two Burma Shave slogans each, and recite them back in order to the fellow by the side of the road who's been putting up said signs. Do that, and you'll get your clue.

Made it back to town? Now you get a choice: play in the park with a hula hoop, or serve up drinks in the diner.

No, she can't do anything about the monochrome-ness.

How'd you do this week, kids?

You can all thank

sith_happened for demanding that hula hoops and go-karts be involved, and not telling me that either of the other things were bad ideas. :D Lo, hath the RNG (minus students still away on plottiness) spoken:

1) Hank Venture
2) Dana Scully
3) Jim Hawkins
4) Lion-o
5) Bruce Wayne
6) Marshall Wheeler
7) Nico di Angelo
8) Jason Todd
9) Stephanie Brown
10) Seifer Almasy
11) Mercy Thompson
12) Spock
13) Sam Puckett
14) Annie Edison
15) Cara
16) Elle Bishop

I did do this one over several times because it kept making Steph come in first. WTF. As always, SP during my day is highly likely, because no one's paying us to RP yet, sadly.
