Around the World in Seven Weeks [Tuesday, July 9, 2013, 2nd period]
Two men--one tall and blond dressed in Jedi robes (if you recognized that sort of thing) and one younger, shorter, stockier and redheaded, wearing jeans, though with the same bright blue eyes as the older man--waited for the class in front of the Portalocity office in town.
"Ho, everyone," the redhead began. "I'm Ben Skywalker. This is my grandfather Anakin--I know, he doesn't look it, long story, not really important--and this class is Around the World in Seven Weeks, where we send you through a portal to a new country every week, give you activities to complete and then expect you to return to us in one piece."
"Without having ticked off the people who live there," Anakin added a little vehemently. "Today," he said, striding over to the map of the world Portalocity had up on the wall ("We'll take you there! Or close enough!") and pointing to a country in South America, "we are going to Paraguay, a nation known for--"
"--not being Uruguay?" Ben suggested with a grin.
Anakin frowned at him. "Anyway, you are heading to the capital city of Asunción, where you will be given two tasks to complete, as well as finding us again in our end location. Be safe, don't get lost, and we'll see you at the end."

Re: Detour: Stacked Up or Strung Out
Stacking watermelons, she rapidly discovered, was not a talent of hers. It took her much longer than she would have liked to get it done and, by the time she got it done to the fruit monger's satisfaction, she was wishing heartily that she'd taken the other option.
