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

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."

"And some beings seem to think we're perfect," Anakin said, shaking his head. "They really have no idea."

"Family karaoke would be a disaster," Anakin agreed.

"For us?" asked Anakin, who had the distinct urge to shudder. "Or for everyone else?"

Re: Check in [6/11]

"I don't know," Anakin said. "I'm having a bad feeling about it..."

Re: Check in [6/11]

"Then obviously we should make sure it never happens."

Famous last words, Anakin.

"I'll talk to Jake at the police station about declaring karaoke illegal."

Because that's not a gross overreaction at all.

Please, like anyone in this family did things in moderation. Pssht.

"That might not be a bad idea," Anakin said thoughtfully. "As a precautionary measure."

Sure, now he worried about precautionary measures.

Re: Check in [6/11]

Anakin nodded. "Exactly. Precautions are important."

Said the man who sent an entire class down a six-story waterslide last week.

To the boy whose entire plan to escape from an enemy occupied planet had consisted of "steal a ship and get out of here."

"Can he really do that, though?"

Re: Check in [6/11]

[sith_happened]

No.

"It can't hurt to ask," Anakin mused. "Maybe I could check with the mayor, too."

Re: Check in [6/11]

[nonelikemesince.livejournal.com]

As plans went, this was one of the best in recent family history!

"Might as well be thorough about it."

"And then we can get drinks in celebration at Caritas."

Obi-Wan was the brains behind their team.

Some version of him somewhere was probably facepalming so hard right now.

"Won't they be upset about what that would do to their business, though?" Anakin wondered.

Sure, now he thought of that.

"We're powerful Jedi," Anakin said airily. "We can make them forget."

Re: Check in [6/11]

Best familial influence EVER.

"Well, of course we can," Anakin replied. "But only if it's absolutely necessary, right?"

Re: Check in [6/11]

[sith_happened]

And so ethical!

"Right!" Anakin said. "Or they whine to much."

Re: Check in [6/11]

[nonelikemesince.livejournal.com]

Well, he taught ethics, right? THAT MADE IT OKAY.

"You think they might?" asked Anakin, wrinkling his nose.

Concerns about other people whining, coming from this family? Really?

Re: Check in [6/11]

[sith_happened]

Or a realistic idea of what "a lot of whining" might be...

"I don't know how much they might love karaoke," Anakin said with a shrug.

Re: Check in [6/11]

[nonelikemesince.livejournal.com]

'Realistic' from this family. Ha.

"Well, it's fairly popular, isn't it?" Anakin reasoned. "They can't hate it that much."

Re: Check in [6/11]

[sith_happened]

"Well, maybe they do and no one has ever asked," Anakin mused.

Re: Check in [6/11]

[nonelikemesince.livejournal.com]

Anakin scratched at a spot behind his ear, considering. "And they've all just been tolerating it all this time, because everyone assumed otherwise?"

Re: Check in [6/11]

[sith_happened]

"Plus zombies," Anakin said. "It's not like anyone strikes up a conversation with them."

Re: Check in [6/11]

[nonelikemesince.livejournal.com]

". . . has anyone ever tried?" Anakin asked. "They don't seem like great conversationalists anyway."

Re: Check in [6/11]

[sith_happened]

"Maybe the people who work there?" Anakin replied. "I certainly never have."

Re: Check in [6/11]

"I tend not to go there anyway," admitted Anakin, who wouldn't know what a social life was if it did an entire holo presentation in front of him. "So I haven't exactly tried to find out."
