Anakin's workshop met outside the Travelocity office, and he greeted them in his traditional Jedi robes. "Welcome to my class," he said. He pointed to a map of the world that the Travelocity gnomes had given him. "For those of you new to this planet, we are currently here--" he poked the map, "--in Maryland, in the continent of North America. Our travels today will take us to South America, down here--" another poke of the map. "To a nation called Peru. They speak a different language there called Spanish. If you happen to speak it, that will make your lives a little easier. If you don't, well, I hope you're fluent in hand gestures."

That aren't considered rude in Peru. "You will have to complete two tasks while in Peru, and then find me at the final stop. Don't get hurt, don't get arrested, don't get lost. Ready...go."

Pit Stop!

[sith_happened]

Anakin is hiding in the stands of a local market that you had to get to via some Peruvian dude letting you ride in the back of his pickup truck. How'd you do?

Ahsoka stomped straight towards Anakin like the grumpy not-so-little Togruta she was.

At least he'd have had plenty of warning she was coming.

Re: Pit Stop!

[sith_happened]

Anakin smirked at her. "Did you have fun?"

Re: Pit Stop!

[snipsnspecks]

This was how people ended up lightsabered in the face, Anakin.

"Tons, Master," Ahsoka replied in the most obviously insincerely chirpy voice she could manage. While trying to Force-lift alfalfa into his hair.

Look, Merrill actually remembered she was supposed to get here!

After playing with llamas for the majority of the allotted time. Hush.

Re: Pit Stop!

[sith_happened]

"Hi," Anakin said. "How'd you like Peru?"

Re: Pit Stop!

[cracksmostly]

"It's pretty," Merrill said, brushing some llama hair off her tunic, "and so is the language even if I can't understand it. I do wish the llamas wouldn't spit so much, but I can't really blame them."

Okay, there weren't too many people here already, so Khadgar was taking that as a good sign.

"Is this... what it's going to be... every week?" he asked, catching his breath. He was really going to have to start reading course descriptions more carefully.

Re: Pit Stop!

"It'll probably get tougher as we go along," Anakin said.

Because Anakin was evil.

Jyn was muttering curses and listing the ways she was going to kill Saw Gerrera when she finally made it to the end. What the hell was this insane place?

Re: Pit Stop!

[sith_happened]

"Welcome to Peru," Anakin said with a smile. "How did you like it?"

Re: Pit Stop!

[stardust_rogue]

"Less deadly than the class name would have me believe," Jyn said, staring up at Anakin -- as if that was his real name.

Re: Pit Stop!

[thatsweirdright]

Okay, that was... kinda fun, actually?

Jason couldn't help grinning a little when he saw he was in third place. Which, well. Sure, it wasn't first, but apparently he'd been able to make up a decent amount of the time he'd lost by getting on the last flight, so.

Re: Pit Stop!

[sith_happened]

Anakin grinned back. "Fun, huh?"

Re: Pit Stop!

[thatsweirdright]

"Not too bad for my first time outside the US," Jason had to admit. 'Not too bad' was kind of an understatement, it had actually been extremely cool. But he had some teenage dignity to preserve here.

Kaylin stopped to heal a little kid who'd fallen and broken more bones than he could stand to break. Which wiped her out for a bit and left her behind in finding the guy and convincing him to take her to the market.

After she hand-gestured at the family not to tell anyone what had happened. At least she probably would never be here again? Still Marcus would be mad when her bracer showed up on his desk. Or wherever it turned up for him when she took it off.

Re: Pit Stop!

[sith_happened]

"You're sixth today," Anakin said.

Re: Pit Stop!

[notamascot]

"Really?" Kaylin said. "I don't know how that happened."

Re: Pit Stop!

[thatwaslucky]

This hadn't been so bad if you were Rey, so she was even smiling a little when she got there. "How'd I do?"

Re: Pit Stop!

[sith_happened]

"You're first today," Anakin said, smiling back. "Was it fun?"

Re: Pit Stop!

[vrajna_kralis]

Sorry, everyone in class waiting on Hyacinthe. He was going to come sauntering into the market just before the end of class, humming to himself and munching on a guava he'd listed from one of the stalls. He was dead last, but grinning anyway.

Look, you enjoy your class your way and he'll enjoy it his.

Re: Pit Stop!

[sith_happened]

"Not really into the racing aspect of this, huh?" Anakin asked dryly.

Re: Pit Stop!

[vrajna_kralis]

"There are some things n life that ought not be raced through," Hyacinthe said, trying to look innocent. "I was appreciating the local culture."

Re: Pit Stop!

[notfinnyet]

FN-2187 thought he'd done pretty well!

Re: Pit Stop!

[sith_happened]

"Hello," Anakin said with a smile. "You're second today."
