"Today we're going to Malawi," Anakin said, "which is a country I've never heard of, so we'll all be learning something new today!"

Wasn't that not at all terrifying, class?

"It's a country in Africa," he said, pointing to it on the map, "but we will probably not be eaten by lions!"

Way to sell this, Anakin.

"Through the portal, everyone!"

Detour: Dugout or Lugout

[sith_happened]

In Dugout, you participate in the annual Lake Malawi Dugout Canoe Race and have to use the traditional canoes to paddle out to drummers on the lake before paddling back (with the drummers in your canoe, still drummer. So loud.) to shore to obtain their clue from a local fisherman.

In Lugout, you have to wade to a ferryboat on the lake and unload passengers and cargo from it by carrying them to shore. You had to unload two boxes of cabbage, two bundles of sugar cane, two bundles of brooms, one chair, one fan, and eight passengers, who expected to stay dry, before receiving their clue from the boat's porter.

Eleanor was in front. Totally. But then the damn drummers wouldn't get in the boat no matter how many threats or coercive tactics Eleanor attempted to do.

She eventually dragged them into the dugout canoe and threatened their lives which was another point deduction in the afterlife.

Alara decided to tackle Dugout, the actual canoe paddling part wasn’t too bad but she had underestimated how loud the drumming was and it distracted her quite a bit as she made her way to shore for the next clue.

You'd think someone raised in a fishing village would've done well at either task.

Normally, you'd be right.

Again, Jules was going to blame Camden. She didn't fit in the canoe, so that option was right out, and then her presence upset the passengers on the ferryboat, and it had taken all of Jules' patience to coax them out.
