Continue Trying Not to Die!

[sith_happened]

"Right, so it's hot like Tatooine here today," Anakin said, clad only in board shorts, "which means that we're going some place a little cooler."

He paused. "With clothing shops."

Because this island.

"Welcome to Estonia, a country in Europe. Try not to die by falling into the bog."

Wait. Bog?

Find Anakin!

[sith_happened]

To get to Anakin, you had to take a Saunabusse--a sauna on wheels, full of mostly naked Estonians who are surprisingly cool with your bog-mud covered selves. But only a few of you can get onto the bus at a time, and it runs sporadically.

After you get off the bus, it's still a pretty good haul up to the tower where Anakin was waiting.

Mae managed to make up loads of time with the Saunabusse. Possibly because once she got on, everyone on there wanted her off as soon as possible.

Bog mud was fine. A week's build-up of crusty teenager who'd attempted a tough mudder? Not so much.

Eleanor thought she had a good lead.... but quickly lost out when she get into an altercation with an Estonian on the street who was trying to Eleanor to sign a petition on saving some sort of endangered creature. Ugh.

When she got off the bus she was sweaty dirty and her Vsco uniform was looking pretty heinous.

Clearly this was revenge for ditching class and never coming back last fall.

And, again, Rosa would insist, if anyone had asked, that she'd have crushed this one, too, if she hadn't just missed that first bus.

You better believe she made up for lost time with that haul up to the tower. Good luck anyone who got in her way.

...seriously, who let this woman into a competition class?

It took Alara a bit longer to navigate the bus but she more than made up enough time to get to the tower. She was a bit surprised when she got there and no one else seemed to have made it yet, considering how much time she lost with the first task.

It took a VERY long time to get on the bus thing. There were naked people!!! For a while it seemed entirely possible that Nell would simply stay where she was and never make it back to Fandom at all.

But finally after everyone else had gone, she gathered up her courage, closed her eyes and stood clinging to the doorway facing out until they got to where they were going.

She was still pretty shaken by the time she arrived at the tower, way past dead last. Hopefully she hadn't missed the portal home.
