fandomhigh | Around The World in Sixteen Challenges, Thursday

Anakin and Obi-Wan were in front of Portalocity again this morning. "We're going to stick with Europe today," Anakin told them, "and are going to increase the difficulty level."

Someone had taken Laura's critique of last week's class slightly personally. Sorry, everyone.

Obi-Wan sighed the sigh of someone who had had a full hour's argument over the previous party's ridiculous post-class demands and was mostly just glad Anakin had scrapped the flamethrowers from the equation. "Somewhat," he said, "at a normal and sensible pace."

He cleared his throat. "We are about to welcome you to a local festival called Oktoberfest," he said. "It appears to largely concern beverages we'd rather you not imbibe. Not that any of you would, of course."

The sarcasm was dripping, there.

"Because that would be wrong," Anakin agreed, nodding. "But mostly because none of you want detention for drinking alcohol during class. We're going to a country called Germany, which is...down and to the west of the country we were in last week."

"The festival also revolves around food," Obi-Wan continued, "Which is to say, we hope you have some expertise in the art of baking." He looked vaguely amused underneath all the facial hair. "As well as a healthy appetite."

Anakin smirked. "So get your costumes on--" he pointed to racks of lederhosen and dirndls that were not optional, "--and get ready to race."

"May the Force be with you," Obi-Wan said solemnly, bowed his head, and then turned around and walked into the portal.

When you're finished, there are glasses of water waiting for you.

Nobody gets any points if they guess whose idea that was.

Well, there would be no repeat of last week for Eggsy who was half stumbling to the end. But he was willing to accept his defeat.

"Fucking love Oktoberfest."

"Have you been drinking, Master Unwin?" Obi-Wan asked dryly. And with maybe a hint of vaguely disapproving humor.

"You don't have to call me 'master', bruv," Eggsy replied with a smile that was about five shades too flirtatious for his teacher.

Obi-Wan was going to ignore that, thank you. "You are tenth," he said mildly, "And I will see you in my office this Saturday for your detention."

Rude, Obi-Wan. He was amazing.

"Bit forward, yeah?"

And a complete little shit.

"I would suggest you move on," Obi-Wan said.

Very unimpressed, yes.

"Unless you would rather report to Master Skywalker's office, instead. I'm certain he can find another cake-based challenge for you."

Eggsy glanced over at Anakin again and made a face. "Pass. Ain't my type."

Sorry not sorry that you're such a daddy, Obi-Wan.

Alex hadn't seen to many people in front of her as she made her way to the end, she knew that she had at least done better than last week.

"Congratulations," Obi-Wan said, greeting her with a nod of his head. "You are second today. Quite a feat."

Rey was never doing a good challenge again, which was maybe good to learn on week two? But she made it here!

"You're sixth today," Anakin told her.

"I'll take it," Rey decided, surprised she'd even done that well.

Unlike some people Isabela could hold her drink, so she cheerfully strolled up to the finish line much earlier than she had last week.

"You're fifth today," Anakin said.

"I don't know what you meant by more difficult." Isabela, no, this would not end well. "That was downright pleasant compared to last week."

Since beer and all. Also, no mud.

"What would make it unpleasant?" Anakin asked. "We aim to please."

"Sailing ships," Isabela promptly replied. "Crewed by young, fit men. Shirtless. Fit women too. That would be simply terrible."

Isabela wasn't exactly subtle even before alcohol was involved.

"Secondin' that!" Eggsy, no. "Be real hard."

EGGSY NO.

Isabela gigglesnorted...which she probably would have done anyway.

"We'd have a rough time of it."

Cosette was not going to turn down a glass of water, no, and she didn't seem to mind at all if most of the class had arrived before she did. The climb had been fun, if tricky, and therefore totally worth it.

"You're eighth today," Anakin said.

Cosette nodded, not seeming disappointed in the least. "Imagine if I'd decided to bake that cake after all!" she exclaimed. "You'd likely be waiting for a good hour or two more yet."

"The challenge level has not increased."

But she enjoyed herself? Sorry, guys.

"Please try not to say that near Master Skywalker," Obi-Wan said dryly, "If you at all value your fellow students."
