Creative Problem Solving, June 9, 2025

On the off chance anyone in the class had ever wondered just how drunk two people with an intimate awareness of their limits and who'd decided to race past those limits could get, the answer was: very. The the point that the only reason Ahsoka wasn't wearing dark glasses to class was that she didn't have ears to hook them over.

"Today," Anakin said, very quietly with his hood up like a normal person who feared light, "is going to be a very quiet class. Very. Quiet."

"So quiet that your task involves almost no talking," Ahsoka, who had hearing much more sensitive than a human's and was deeply regretting that fact, said. Which would explain the stack of whiteboards and markers.

"First you'll very quietly take out your pictures of your best-looking family members and in your softest voice explain who they are or were," Anakin said. "And then we've split you into teams of two. We'll explain more once the pictures are finished."

Once Anakin had finished his near silent judging, Ahsoka continued. "One half of each pair has three minutes to come up with and write down as many obscure animals as they can think of. You can go off into your cubicles now and start writing." She turned to the other half of the pairs. "Once their time is up, you will hand them this clue, which tells them they must attempt to mime their list of animals for you to guess. You will write you guesses down on the whiteboard. The team with the most correct guesses wins."

"Right, ready," Henry said, nodding along amiably.

And then sat there. Silently.

After a moment: "Oh, have you already gotten started?"

Oh no. Okay, Steve could figure this out! Syllables! Let's do syllables!

He nodded, then put his finger up to his mouth in a "shhh" symbol.

"... Shh?" Henry said slowly. "Sheep?"

Steve pushed his hands together to mean "shorter." Just shh!

"...Shhh...?" Henry echoed, puzzled.
