Try Not to Die!!, Monday, May 11, 2020

Anakin looked a little gleeful as he stood outside the Portalocity office this morning, standing in front of a world map. "Good morning, everyone," he said. "Today we are going to Malaysia because that's where the dart I threw at the map landed."

In case you were under any illusions that Anakin prepped for a long time on this class or something.

"For those of you not familiar with this class, you will go through the portal and then encounter two different challenges to perform, in addition to showing basic navigational skills and ability to think quickly on your feet in an unfamiliar location." He smiled. "Try not to get run over or get food poisoning, but just in case you do, please sign these extensive liability waivers. The school board insisted."

After those were all filled out to his standard, he clapped his hands. "First to the final meeting place wins!"

Well, at least this she managed to do correctly on the very first try? And get the dyed-yellow one, too! Maybe that'd make up for some of the ground lost on the earlier tasks?

... Made up for all of it, apparently, as she caught sight of Anakin. So sure, her hair was full of that spice blend and she was visibly limping, but she was also first. Hah!

"You're first," Anakin confirmed. "Well done."

Her answering smile was pained due to, well, pain. But genuine nonetheless.

"So I see," she said, a little smugly.

Hopefully there'd be someplace to sit while they waited for the others.

Anakin waved towards the steps behind him. "Take a seat. We'll all head back together when everyone arrives."

Jules sank down onto the steps with a groan, stretching her bad leg out in front of her and massaging it gently, Camden nestled at her side.

Julius saw his big sib already waiting and groaned. "I know I left you back at the spice garden!" he said.

“Just lucky, I guess,” she informed him loftily.

Honestly, she’d lost a lot of ground on the task with the spices, she didn’t really know how she’d managed to gain it back either, but she wasn’t arguing.
