fandomhigh | Trust in Teamwork - Wednesday, 1st Period

Today the teachers weren't any closer together, but they were using the excuse of the obstacle course set up in the middle of a fake backyard to be separated. "Teamwork is all about communication," Anakin said from where he was standing disconcertedly close to a bunch of clean, empty. suspiciously people-sized wheelie bins. He was also holding helmets, also a terrible sign.

Ahsoka for her part had an equally disconcerting stack of blindfolds. "After all, you never know when you might lose sight of your goal, as it were, and have to rely on the advice of others."

Anakin shot her a look for that. "So you'll get to see just how well that works when the person giving the advice isn't terribly good at it. You're going to pair up. One team member gets into the wheelie bin. The other gets the blindfold. The person in the bin is directing the person in the blindfold through the tasks on this course. That person may not speak Basic."

English, Anakin.

"Allow us to demonstrate," Ahsoka said, shooting Anakin a look right back before tying a blindfold around her own eyes. "It's simple enough if you're willing to listen to each other." Or if you could just use the Force to navigate. Either or.

Anakin climbed into the wheelie bin. "How's your Huttese?" he asked, sticking on the helmet.

Ahsoka's reply, delivered in bright and cheery Huttese, was very much not printable.

"That sounds anatomically unlikely," Anakin said dryly. "Right. We have three tasks to accomplish." He switched to Huttese. "//Straight ahead for two meters.//"

And he was wearing a helmet if she "accidentally" dumped him on the ground.

Ahsoka would never do that. That didn't mean she had to be gentle as she pushed the bin either.

Make this look good, he sent mentally. Because he was bossy forever.

Just for that (and because they came from a very dramatic line of Jedi), Ahsoka wasn't going to use her hands to push.

Giving directions!

Watch as they very efficiently navigate the course with absolutely no signs of passive aggression. At all. None.

Find a partner and decide who's getting in the bin and what kind of communication you might try using.

Once your team is ready to go, you have to go forward two metres, back the bin up into a marked space, wait for a count of fifteen, then find and pop a balloon.

Simple!
