Around the World in 16 Challenges, Tuesday, January 7, 2016 [2nd period]

Anakin and Obi-Wan had made sure to tell the class to meet them outside the Portalocity office. Anakin, hands stuffed into his robes to protect them from the cold (kriffing cold, ugh), still managed to look a little smug. "Hello and welcome to Around the World in 16 Challenges," he said. "Today we're going to the Netherlands, a small nation on the continent of Europe."

"Since he appears to have skipped right ahead: this is Master Anakin Skywalker. I am Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. Welcome." Obi-Wan looked rather more at ease with the cold, though he generally kept his hands tucked in his sleeves regardless. (He also had a far better poker face than Anakin's.) "Your first series of challenges will take place here," he continued, "and you will handle them by yourself. Later challenges may contain a teamwork component; for that, we ask that you find a teammate today with whom you share a RL availability will cooperate for the rest of the semester."

Anakin nodded, smile widening. "The odd one out gets paired with one of us."

Oh, you poor things. "This course will test you both physically and mentally and help you to confront fears about heights, hitting things, and eating things that are still moving." Anakin, that is not helpful.

And as such, Obi-Wan cleared his throat very loudly midway through that statement. "It will hopefully also lead you to appreciate this particular planet and its many cultures," he said, "So please, do try to enjoy yourselves as well."

"Today's challenges will test your attention to detail, your hand-eye coordination, and your ability to navigate yourself to different places," Anakin said, nodding. "We will be waiting for you at the end of the course. May the Force be with you."

And then the bike locks and the dike jumping! Because getting people muddy was hilarious.

... and the canal tour with the light sculptures, because not everything had to be mud, Anakin. Obi-Wan gave the class a formal nod of his head. "Begin."

"You're the sixth one to arrive," Obi-Wan said. Was he looking amused underneath that beard? Perhaps. "And one of the few who won't have to do any dry cleaning later, which may make up for it."

"I'd almost rather have had the mud to contend with," Cosette admitted, and if she wasn't talking to a teacher she'd probably have given him a light-hearted but spirited hard time about laughing at her. "I'd thought we might be riding the bicycles, not looking through all of them. The boat ride was lovely, though! I don't mind coming in sixth, not really. I'd be more sorry to have missed seeing all the lights."

"They are lovely, aren't they?" Obi-Wan asked. "You appeared rather delighted."

Cosette nodded. "Things like that are precisely why I wanted to take this class," she said. "Though the race is amusing as well."

"I'll try to make sure we have plenty of sights for you in the future," Obi-Wan promised. "And amusement."
