Two men--one tall and blond dressed in Jedi robes (if you recognized that sort of thing) and one younger, shorter, stockier and redheaded, wearing jeans, though with the same bright blue eyes as the older man--waited for the class in front of the Portalocity office in town ( Read more... )

You travel to the Plaza de la Democracia where you will perform a traditional Paraguayan bottle dance (with only one bottle: Ben and Anakin aren't completely insane) in the square. You have to complete the choreography without breaking the bottle, and you only have ten bottles to try it with.

Once you've completed the dance to your instructor's satisfaction, she will tell you were to find Ben and Anakin.

It was probably a good thing that Theo had made good time on the first activity because he had two left feet and five minutes in, had already broken two bottles.

He started getting frustrated when Ange seemed to exert more of an influence over him for just a moment and calmed him down. He broke one more bottle before he managed to get the dance done and headed for the finish line.

Dancing! She could do dancing! Her bad mood from the first task faded as she aced the second without breaking a single bottle.

Karina figured that had to make up for some of the time she'd lost to the watermelons.

Korra managed a slightly better job on this task, slightly. Pity she'd already lost so much time on the watermelons.

Okay, this was stupid.

But Cordelia had a long and storied history with cheerleading, which meant she was actually really good at learning new routines on the fly, so this wasn't really as difficult. She broke one bottle right off, at which point she yelled at someone for giving her a defective one, and got it right on the second try.

Okay, so Chaz should have brought a few more energy bars. But he did manage to keep calculating angles and gravity while he danced to manage to not drop the bottle on the second go through.

Again, Kathy lost more time looking around in shock and awe. She was in Paraguay. Could she buy some souvenirs while she was here? Because no one was going to believe this. She wasn't entirely sure she believed this. How did she get to South America just by going into a building and walking through a--

The sound of a breaking bottle reminded her to get her head back into the game. This dance wasn't too difficult for a gymnast with practice balancing things. She just needed to focus.

The second bottle stayed up and then they shoo'd her on her way.

Well, at least she figured that's what they were saying. Because most of it was in Spanish, as she was in freaking Paraguay!

This was not good. Dancing and Billy did not mix, and it took six bottles before he managed to succeed.
