Try Not to Die!!! [Tuesday, June 11, 2013]

[sith_happened]

Ben and Anakin were waiting in their usual spot for their students to arrive. "Welcome to Kaz-" Ben frowned, then tried again. "Kazik--"

"Kazakhstan," Anakin finished for him. "It's a country in central Asia."

Rory had told him. Shhh.

"It's cooler there than our last destination, so you will not be getting wet," he continued. "I'm not guaranteeing anything about not getting messy, though."

Isn't he reassuring, class?

Ben shook his head. "Race hard, be safe, don't tick anyone off, and we'll see you at the end of the class."

Isn't Kazakhstan fun?!

Theo came jogging in, still smelling like chicken most likely. That hadn't been fun and he knew he was near the bottom of the pack. So much for his string of strong finishes.

"You're the eleventh to arrive today," Anakin told him. "Did you pick the chickens?"

"That wasn't my smartest choice ever," Theo said grumpily. "I thought the golden eggs would stand out or something."

"They might have if they hadn't been brown," Anakin replied.

It wasn't hard to believe he'd been evil for two decades, huh?

"Yeah, yeah," Theo said glumly before he started slinking off to get the smell off him.

Victor was grinning as he ran up. He could tell he'd done pretty well, and he was going to glory in it.

"You're the first to arrive," Ben said, grinning back.

Alex was sure she wasn't anywhere near the top five this week. The chickens really were a poor choice. She blamed them. Yes.

Re: Check in [6/11]

Evil, evil chickens.

"You're ninth today," Anakin told her.

Chaz showed up covered in feathers and with a scowl visible probably from several neighboring countries.

Re: Check in [6/11]

[momslilassassin]

"You're twelfth today," Ben said. "Chickens?"

Re: Check in [6/11]

[notyetplatypus.livejournal.com]

Chaz cut himself off before replying in the affirmative. "If I said no, would you be concerned?"

Anakin was scowling, of course, because he did that a lot.

"Every time I think you can't possibly come up with anything worse . . ."

He wasn't actually complaining full-force, at least.

Re: Check in [6/11]

"I'm taking that as a 'thank you for your creativity, Grandfather,'," Anakin said.

Re: Check in [6/11]

[nonelikemesince.livejournal.com]

Anakin could not have possibly made a more epic "whoops, busted" face.

"Well . . . it is pretty impressive?"

Re: Check in [6/11]

[sith_happened]

"Thank you," Anakin said, inclining his head graciously. "Which task did you pick? Ben was the music."

"I can't believe," Raven said as she walked up, "you sent us to Russia."

Shhh. Cold War Girl wasn't super up on her new global geography.

Re: Check in [6/11]

[sith_happened]

"Well, it's a different part than just Russia," Anakin said. "They like to use many more consonants here."

Re: Check in [6/11]

[tigerundercover]

"Probably part of some communist plot."

She was joking on that bit.

Mostly.

Re: Check in [6/11]

"Well, Putin," Anakin said, nodding like he had the faintest idea what he was talking about. "I heard he's sleeping with a gymnast half his age now that he's divorcing his wife."

"Cow costumes? Seriously? You might as well call the course Try Not to Die Of Embarrassment," Emily said as she walked in. At least it seemed like she had done a good time. Finally.

Re: Check in [6/11]

[momslilassassin]

"Embarrassment is an important thing to overcome," Ben declared. "You're fourth today."

Re: Check in [6/11]

[reven8e.livejournal.com]

Emily shrugged. "You need to work in your excuses, but alright. Fourth! Well, that's something."

Look. They were just lucky she'd even made it here at all.

Mercy was covered with chicken feathers - and other less lovely stuff. Apparently when chickens freaked out, well no need to go into that now. Let's just say she was 'fragrant'. And not in a good way.
