Try Not to Die!!! [Tuesday, May 14, 2013, 3rd period]
The class had been instructed to meet by the Portalocity office where they were met by a tall blond man in traditional Jedi robes and a shorter redhead about five years younger in jeans and a t-shirt.
"Hi," the younger one said. "I'm Ben Skywalker and this is my grandfather Anakin: long story if you're wondering about the age thing and you're new to Fandom. Welcome to Try Not to Die!!!"
The extra exclamation points had been his idea.
Anakin looked more serious. "It's summer time, so our classes aren't quite so...fraught with peril," he began, "but it's still not a time to let our wits and our instincts atrophy. This class will place you into unfamiliar situation and make you complete tasks in a certain amount of time, then return to a final location. It tests your ability to adapt, follow directions, and navigate through places where you might not know the languages or customs of where you are."
"But today we're starting out fairly easy," Ben assured them. "Through that portal is modern-day England, though your tasks are more medievally focused. Your job is to race as quickly and as safely through your obstacles, then make your way to the checkpoint where Granddad and I will be waiting for you."
Anakin, who watched far too much Amazing Race, intoned, "Your time starts...now!" and stepped out of their way.

She would never have talked to a teacher like this back home, but she was wet and feeling slightly sticky and all the other rules seemed to have gone out the window somewhere in the last sixty years, so why not this?
