Day 261 // video; action - sector 1 (driver's ed)
video

[ Waking up to Haruka is always a great thing, right? ~~Just ask Michiru.~~ Despite having been here for a few weeks, Haruka hasn't formally introduced herself over the network, so when she starts the feed up she coughs to clear her throat and gives the camera a smile. She's leaning on her motor scooter, and she's surrounded by bicycles. ]

Yo, everyone. If we haven't met before, I'm Tenoh Haruka - your new Driver's Ed teacher. We'll be meeting days 1 and 4 at 11, outside the sports center in sector 1. [ She laughs. ] Sure, we can't drive anything too fancy here, but I think we'll make do!

[ But enough cryptic references to her souped-up Vespa. The grin returns. ] Today we're playing with bicycles, so if you've never seen one of these before - [ she pats the handlebars ] - or never learned, or just want some exercise, we'd love to have you. I'll bring the bikes. You bring the balance.

See you then! [ A wink, and she cuts the feed. Wow, advertising feels weird. ]

action - driver's ed class

[ As promised, Haruka has something like half a dozen bicycles, complete with helmets and water bottles, lined up outside the sports center. She's in a tracksuit and is doing stretches while she waits for her class to convene, and she's also brought along a toolkit and enough training wheels for everyone, if necessary. Plans for the class involve getting everyone a bike, finding out who knows how to ride one and who doesn't, showing the different parts of a bicycle and how it works, and then practicing by riding around the area. She'll save taking a bike tour of the dome for the next class, unless everybody who shows up already knows how to ride.

Also, students beware. She's friendly for one-on-one, but Mentor Mode!Haruka can be a little strict.

((ETA: A mingle thread for riding around in class has been added!)) ]

MINGLE THREAD - RIDING AROUND

[ The class is about half over, and everyone is on their bicycles - people with no experience have been given training wheels if Haruka thinks they'd tip over without them. She's got everybody in a cluster behind her, and swings herself onto a bicycle, too. ]

We'll try looping the perimeter. I'll fall back if you need me, but you'll learn better if you fix your issues yourself.

Let's go!

[ She'll take this nice and slow so everyone can go at their own pace. Feel free to discuss among yourselves, bump into each other, etc. Plenty of people here also have ridden bikes before, in which case you can inquire if you're new to this or just chat if you're not. Haruka will keep an eye on everyone by glancing back frequently. ]

	[Well, he said he would be there and he is nothing if not true to his word so Trowa was there for the class. Even if he already had an idea of how to ride a bicycle, it didn't seem like such a bad way to spend sometime. So when it is time to ride around, he gets on the bike and sets off] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Sarah's spent her time in various places of the pack, mostly trying to stay near the back where no one will talk to her. But every once in a while, she does pedal harder just to feel the joy of racing... and to get around the people on training wheels who get in her way occasionally.

She's in the process of making a turn when she hits a rock funny and takes a spill right near Trowa.]

Ow! Stupid Rock.

[This certainly wasn’t the fastest thing Trowa had ever ridden, but it was good exercise and was probably the fastest he was going to go here.

He’s keeping up with the group well, but when someone who is close to him suddenly falls he immediately stops and gets off the bike, putting the kickstand to keep it from falling over. Then he goes over to her]

Are you alright?

	[Sarah looks up with a scowl meant for the rock.] Fine. Just fine. Embarrassed but fine. [She examines her hands which are now scratched and smarting from breaking her fall.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Trowa kneels next to her as she looks at her hands, glancing to make sure she's alright. He ignored the scowl, knowing it wasn't meant for him] It doesn't look too bad. Looked worse than it actually was. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Hey there, fellow teen, this slightly older teenage boy was riding along with the group, but kind of not as well. But he wasn't holding back and being shy. He was being a showoff. Riding circles around people, doing stupid tricks. Was he annoying, yet?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
