Try Not to Die, Tuesday, August 11

Today's chosen item of neon clothing were puffer vests, because were you were heading was very picturesque but also fairly chilly.

Anakin, of course, was not wearing one. Silly-looking clothing was for the rest of you! "Welcome back," he said.

Ahsoka, for her part had some very fetching pom-poms on the tips of her parka's hood. "Today we'll be visiting New Zealand," she said. "Which is apparently no relation to old Zealand."

"Is there an old Zealand?" Anakin asked, looking interested.

"There's a Zealand in Denmark apparently," Ahsoka said with a shrug.

"Huh," said Anakin intelligently. "Maybe we can go there next week."

"Maybe."

Spoiler, they would not.

"So this is New Zealand, virtually the same as Greece," Anakin said, nodding.

Ahsoka paused for a long, long moment. "It's nothing like Greece. At all."

Next you'd be telling him every planet didn't look like a very specific park in Vancouver! Give him his dreams, Ahsoka. "...oh."

Look, it wasn't their fault that Earth was aggressively multi-biome compared to much of their galaxy.

"Maybe something will eat you today," Anakin said, sounding a little too hopeful about that.

There were quite a lot of sheep, after all.

Like it's exactly like Greece, only not at all.

Sairis Karkaroth

You know what looks amazing with your puffer vests? Gum boots, stubbies shorts, and a burlap sack. You're going to Shemozzle! (The glee when Anakin discovered this...)

Along with a shepherd and farm dog, you run through the course, climb over hay bales, and then finally ride an inner tube down a slide into a manure pond, all while collecting chicken eggs along the way, which you have to put in a basket at the end of the course. Once you have twelve unbroken eggs, you receive your next clue.

You smell amazing, by the way.

Most of this was remarkably like a lot of the work Sairis had done over the years, so it wasn't much of a problem. He was going to have words about the pond, though.

In Weave, you learn traditional Māori techniques to create a bracelet. In Shweeb, ride the pedal-powered monorail and finish in under 2 minutes. (If you don't, you do it again!)

The bracelet looked interesting, and wasn't far off some of the charms Sairis had woven before. In fact, he was taking notes.

They're enjoying the Rotorua mud baths! Join them, you can't possibly smell worse.

Sairis was absolutely planting himself immediately upwind of Anakin before getting in the bath.

How was this a bath, anyway?

Dooooone.
