Try Not to Die!!! [Tuesday, May 21, 2013]

[sith_happened]

The Skywalkers were standing in the lobby of the Portalocity office like last week, looking relaxed. "Hopefully you enjoyed last week's class," Ben began. "Today the portal's going to take you to Amsterdam, the Netherlands, which is on the same continent as England last week, but in a different country."

Shh, someone had been learning about Earth geography and wanted to show off a bit.

Anakin looked dryly amused at that little aside. "Today you will have the choice of two different activities as detours, and then a roadblock that you all must complete. We will meet you at the end of the course. Remember that this is not a simulation, so if you annoy the locals, you are actually annoying locals. Avoid that. Your class begins...now."

In theory, gravity warping skills should make this easy, correct? That was the theory with which Liara had tackled this challenge.

Sadly, actually using her biotics to keep up her weight on a small pole turned out to be much harder than anticipated. Not only that, but the light show was seriously confusing the local Frisians.

Not to mention the one cow eyeballing her from an adjacent field.

She tried again. And again. And again.

In the end, it was the one try fueled only by pure annoyance and exasperation - no biotics at all - that got her across. But at this point she was covered from tip to toe in dark sludge.

At least nobody could tell she was blue any longer?
