Try Not to Die, Thursday, May 27, 2021

"This week, we're traveling to Iceland," Anakin said, pointing it out on the map. "It should hopefully be cooler than it is here."

Ben laughed. "For a guy who grew up in the desert, you really get whiny about the heat."

"I don't."

"You do."

"I don't."

Maybe just head through the portal, class.

In Ice Climb, you travel 35 miles via bus and then snowmobile to the Hótel Skaftafell in Öræfi and use special gear to climb the face of a steep ice wall to reach the next clue at the top. In Ice Search, you had to travel to a nearby glacial lagoon to use a boat and, accompanied by a pilot, search the 7-square-mile lagoon, scattered with thousands of icebergs, for an orange buoy containing the next clue.

In the end, Elli went with climbing because she didn't want to risk falling into the freezing cold water (a lagoon seemed horrible if there were icebergs in it) and she was...

Decidedly middle of the road about it and Elli was perfectly happy about that!

There was no orange buoy. Nell was sure of that. The boat driver person was sure of that. They searched all over and there was no buoy. And then finally... buoy.

She was not going to do well today.

Welcome to a cozy little Icelandic pub. You must perform the internationally acclaimed song "Jaja Ding Dong" to the rowdy crowd's satisfaction. If they don't like your performance, you incur a ten minute penalty and then have to do it again.

And yeah, it's about what you think it's about.

They liked her! She sang and despite being by far the last one to arrive, she was out midway through the group. How? She would never understand. Perhaps her shivering and teeth chattering after what seemed like days out on the icy lagoon had added to her performance.

But before you returned to where Anakin and Ben were hanging out, you needed to find a group of Crossfit obsessed Icelandic strongmen who would demand you drink either a shot of 'Black Death' (Brennivín) or Þorskalýsi? (cod liver oil).

Oh, you lucky people.

Somehow defying all odds, Nell never found the Crossfit obsessed Icelandic strongmen. In fact, she somehow ended back at the lagoon, where the pilot saw her coming and fled lest he be forced back out on another search.

From there she retraced her steps to the pub where they made her sing again - and if she ever had to hear that song again it would be too soon. By then, no one was left to point her in the right direction so she just kept walking until she ran into Professor Skywalker.

Not quite literally.

Hopefully he hadn't been waiting for the last straggler for too long. After all, it wasn't dark yet. Probably.
