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."

No.

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

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."

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]

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."

Re: Check in [6/11]

[sith_happened]

"Where do you go instead?" Anakin asked. "Gym? Garage? Flight sim?"

Re: Check in [6/11]

[nonelikemesince.livejournal.com]

". . . yes?" Anakin, don't even bother looking abashed. No one is surprised by this.

Re: Check in [6/11]

[sith_happened]

Anakin chuckled. "Those were my haunts too."

"It's hard to think of you being a student here," Anakin admitted, then paused and blinked. "Wow, when did that become the weirdest part?"
