Try Not to Die [Thursday, May 15, 2014]

"Hello everyone," Anakin said, sipping from his cup of coffee, "today we're going to a slightly more challenging world than Coruscant was."

Aren't you excited, class? Be excited!

"This one is called Kashyyyk--with three y's--and it is the homeworld of a species called Wookiees--with two o's and two e's. They look like this," he said, flipping up a holographic image on the wall of Portalocity's lobby, "and adults are normally at least 2 meters tall and 125 kilograms. They are also fiercely intelligent as well as terrifyingly efficient warriors. It's not wise to upset a Wookiee, especially if you value your limbs not being ripped off and used to beat you unconscious with."

Thank you, Anakin.

"The planet has four continents, and they are all covered with forests made up of kilometer-tall wryoshr trees--" another holo, "--that you will get to climb so I hope none of you have height problems. The climate is hot and humid, but the gravity is standard. Like last week, you will race each other to complete two tasks before reporting back to me not missing any limbs or having fallen out of a tree and several kilometers to the surface of this planet where you will certainly have been eaten." He smiled. "May the Force be with you. You may begin."

Don't all go charging through the portal at once now, class...

...

...

"... Wouldn't you die if something ripped your arms off and then beat you with them?" Karina asked, horrified and incredulous. "What if we die?"

The zipline was terrible.

Okay, so Karina was exaggerating. Compared to last week she much preferred the zipline.

And if anything tried to eat her, she was going to say screw not using her powers and stick them in a block of ice. Luckily, that didn't happen, and she didn't get sick either.

"I'm not planning to pick a fight with them," she protested. "But sometimes it happens! Especially cross-cultures."

Jessica wasn't eating anything. She was going to once again regret that she couldn't just webswing all over the place, although she didn't mind it so much this time. It was a different story when giant murder animals would be trying to giant murder you.

It took her all of .02 seconds to pick the Fix It option. Karina was not mechanic, though she could maintain her bike just fine, thanks, but between two choices, both of which had a terrifying alien that could rip her arms off and kill her, she was going to take the one that also didn't involve strange alien food with god knew what in it.

Needless to say, her own nerves and her absolute inability to understand the alien's directions, meant that she lost every bit of time she'd gained from having no issues with the zipline. She took forever.

On the bright side, she did not get her arms ripped off. Though she was pretty sure she'd come close to it.

Karina was opting not to dwell on that. Much.

Yeah, the other people around were kinda what she'd expected.

"I'm not dead," she announced. "I'll take it."

Karina subsided with a rebellious glower.

Did she believe him? Not at all!

Did she think complaining further was going to do her any good? Also a no.

Hmph.

Barry took one look at the hologram and thought of Roxie. He raised his hand.

"They're not related to sasquatches are they?" he asked carefully.

Okay... this was actually kind of fun. Well not the whole jungle full of alien species trying to eat him but Barry dug the zipline.

"FUCK YEAH!"

Okay, he really dug the zipline.

Barry took the fix it option again but ended up taking his time going through the hyperdrive engine and getting it set up.

And almost got into an argument with the mechanic when he asked to take the spare parts with him.

Barry was in an chipper mood when he finally arrived.

"That was fucking awesome!" Barry said as he continued to scribble out notes about the hyperdrive technology he got to play with. "Can I go back and fix that ship again?"
