Try Not to Die, Monday, May 18, 2026

[sith_happened]

Anakin and Ahsoka were in front of the Portalocity market with sunglasses, hats, and sunscreen for the class. Because safety first when trying not to die. "Are you sufficiently prepared for this first adventure?" Anakin asked, looking the class over. "Possibly."

"In any case, we'll be easing you into it." You know, for somewhat deranged Jedi standards of take it easy.

"Nothing will be trying to eat you today, which is more than generous," said the man with a lava river.

Ahsoka debated how reassuring pointing that there probably wouldn't be anything trying to eat them most weeks would actually be.

"We are going to Madagascar today," Anakin said while Ahsoka pondered. "It's that big island on the map near the continent of Africa. Put on your sunscreen, and your hats so we can find you."

The hats were various shades of highlighter green and orange.

It wasn't hard to guess who had chosen them.

He had an aesthetic, it was true. "Don't get lost. We'll see you at the final meeting point," Anakin said.

Find Anakin & Ahsoka

Because your legs aren't jelly already, you have to walk twenty minutes (back up the damned staircase) to meet them at Cathedral Andohalo!

Final results:
Rey Skywalker
Charlie Gale
Cal Kestis
Riri Williams
Sairis Karkaroth
Vi
Henry of Skalitz

Last leg! Charlie hustled her way back up the steps, though by the time she'd reached the top it was a bit more if a shuffle.

There had been fruit. And then there had been cheese. And some other food Henry hadn't known the name of, and only then had he gotten to walking, and--

"Ah, I'm late, aren't I?"

[sairis]

Sairis started back up the steps, but one of the stamp vendors accosted him. They didn't seem hostile, but he also had no idea what they were saying, so it took a while to extricate himself.

At which point he fled up as fast as he could.

Okay, one last run of stairs, Cal could do this and thoroughly enjoy laying down on the ground at the end.

Stairs still didn't scare Rey! She was mostly not allowing herself to think about how her legs were holding up until she'd run up to the top, and now she was going to sit down and not move. Ever.

Oh, look, a completely shocking development.

Vi was far enough at he back of the pack she wasn't going to make up any lost ground, but she had enough breath to enjoy the view, so who was the real winner here?

(Anakin, probably)
