Well, last week was hot and dusty and full of stairs," Anakin said. "This week will be the opposite of that."

Which would explain the eye-searingly neon parkas piled near the portal. For her own part, Ahsoka's jacket did not clash with her colouring, because you worked that stuff out early when you were orange and blue. "Make sure you rug up before we leave."

"Welcome to Sweden," Anakin said before heading through the portal.

"More specifically, Kiruna, the northernmost city," Ahsoka added, pulling up the hood on her jacket, the pom poms on the tips of her montrals making her even taller.

"You'll love it," Anakin assured them.

Detour: Sleds or Beds

[sith_happened]

In Sleds, students must use a sled (and a mandatory helmet) to race down a mountain course in less than 1 minute and 58 seconds to receive their next clue. If they fail to reach the end of the course before the allotted time, they would have to repeat the run.

In Beds, students must build a traditional Sámi dwelling known as a goahti and furnish the inside with furs and a fire pit. If the goahti is built and furnished to a Sámi elder's satisfaction, students would receive their next clue.

No. No more sleds. Building, Sairis could do. He'd maintained the tower for years now. He didn't even need to use magic to do it.

And he was used to an elder with strict standards.

Going down big hills should have been Cal's thing, but crashing into the sides of the course was also apparently his thing. He would never, ever admit that he was grateful for the helmet.

Vi was very good with her hands, but she was very much a city girl and tent-adjacent was not really in her wheelhouse. She was very much not making up any time here.

Are you kidding? Racing versus building?? Charlie was on the sled and zooming down the mountain like the wild thing she was.
