fandomhigh | Around The World in Sixteen Challenges, Thursday

After gathering up and stepping through the portal, the class would find itself on a large and exceptionally busy bridge, crowded with people, kiosks, vendors, and painters.

"Welcome," said Obi-Wan, "to Charles Bridge, one of Prague's most famous bridges. Your journey will begin here today."

"We're in the Czech Republic--" stop pronouncing the "z", Anakin, "--in Eastern Europe. This will be our last stop in the European continent this semester."

"Though not our last stop on the Eurasian continent," said Obi-Wan, who thought he was funny, yes. "You will begin today's course by engaging in the local practice of... well, painting people on bridges."

There wasn't a good local word for it that he could pronounce.

Too bad Threepio wasn't around to provide translation! "After that, you will pair up for an easy navigational exercise," Anakin said, "before heading out of the city for your final task."

"But we will let that be a surprise," Obi-Wan finished, smiling. (He should probably not be smiling.)

"You love our surprises," Anakin added, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

Threaded | Top-Level Comments Only

Like you're on a bridge.

Get ready... or get distracted by all the traffic on the bridge.

"You must make and sell at least three paintings of local tourists until you are allowed to move on."

Your teachers are being kind and not setting any prices, so you can charge as little as you like, but you better grab some canvases and get to work. Those tourists look impatient.

You and your teammate must move from Charles Bridge to the Church of Our Lady Before Týn, situated at Old Town Square.

You're not getting a map. Or GPS. So hopefully you'll get along with your teammate, or this is going to be a long challenge...

According to the RNG, these are your results:
1. April & Nathan Bryn
2. Cosette Fauchelevent & Blue Sargent
3. Isabela & Anakin Skywalker
4. Kira Yukimura & Laura Kinney
5. Eggsy Unwin & Rey
6. Alex Mack & Kaylin Neya

You're taken from the square to the woods just outside of Prague. Here, you can choose one of two challenges: grab an axe and chop a hundred pieces of firewood, or attempt to follow the instructions to a traditional Czech folk dance.

Yes, you'll be required to wear the traditional garb, too.

How did you do?

They're hanging around Old Town Square for a bit.

According to the RNG...

1. Blue Sargent
2. Cosette Fauchelevent
3. Nathan Byrn
4. Rey
5. Alex Mack
6. Laura Kinney
7. April
8. Isabela
9. Kaylin Neya
10. Eggsy Unwin
11. Kira Yukimura

Anakin was there as always, looking vaguely annoyed.

Also as always.

Isabela

Isabela's drawings weren't quite on the level of stick figures, but that was about all you could say for them.

'Luckily', she managed to find three customers who were paying more attention to her cleavage than her drawings. They also were paying more attention to her cleavage than their wallets, and she didn't feel one iota of shame about lightening their pockets.

Isabela looked expectantly at Anakin, since if he was setting the assignments, presumably he knew which way to go. "Well?"

April

Isabela blinked for a moment upon being presented the choices. "...oh, frock."

It took a while to get teh dance right, since she kept trying to lead.

There were a whole lot more people around then when she'd got in last week. "So I didn't win again?"

Laura Kinney

Laura had no trouble making portraits. Jock of all trades and all that.

Selling them though? A bit difficult without threatening bodily harm upon her customers. So that might have taken a while.

Cue Laura grabbing Kira's hand and pulling her along while she sniffed the air around them.

What are you talking about that wasn't weird at all.

Laura had no time for your silly dances! And she could use the workout anyway.

At some point she might have discarded the axe and used her own, erm, implements.

Laura would mention that Kira was slowing her down, but Laura was a team player. Kinda.

"There has been improvement," she announced. This one had been mildly annoying. Also teaming up? Best way to make it a challenge.

"You are, in fact, eighth," Obi-Wan said. "But I believe you made many friends among the Czechs today."

Probably not.

Had anyone ever told Obi-Wan he was kind of a smart-arse?

"It would have helped if your boyfriend could navigate." Yes, Isabela, blame Anakin, that would end well.

Obi-Wan ignored that so strongly, it was palpable.

He extended his hand. "I believe you might have found some lost items?"

"Oh, right," Isabela said, all helpful innocence as she offered up a handful of wallets to Obi-Wan. What? She'd already emptied out the cash, and those credit card things were too much bother. "These were just lying about. Their owners really should have been more careful, anyone could have picked them up."

Obi-Wan flipped open the first wallet, peered briefly inside, and then looked back at her, pointedly raising his eyebrows.
