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!)) ]

	[ Haruka glances over and chuckles. Look who's here. ] We're riding machines today, y'know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Don't know if you can call a bike a machine... figured I'd support you either way, though. First class gotta be makin' you nervous, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ A shrug. She doesn't really get stage fright, but she'll feel a bit silly if nobody shows who doesn't know how to ride a bike. ] Thanks for that. Are you joining us? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's th' plan... if it's alright? I mean, I kinda already know how t' ride a bike but if you need an extra set of hands... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ She doubts that'll happen, but it's good to have him regardless. ] Everyone's welcome.

[ And with that, she breaks her coolness to smile before backing up so he can see the bikes. She has apparently prepared for "everyone", too: there are bikes of all sizes here, Haruka having taken full advantage of living in the same sector as the bike shop. There should be one Aidan's size among the group, though she can't speak to what color he might get or anything. ]

	[ Bah, like color is important! He gives a low whistle. ] You've been keepin' busy... looks like there's somethin' for everyone here! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	We're an inclusive community. [ She looks pretty proud of herself, though. Putting this class together resembled actual effort. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2014-03-05 11:02 pm UTC (link)
	Well, that's just plain nice to see... we gotta stick together 'round here, that's for sure. You got any takers yet? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	actsmagnificent 2014-03-07 02:54 pm UTC (link)
	[ Haruka shrugs. She's assembled a few. Whether they already can ride bikes or not seems up for debate. ] Enough. It'll be good to have an assistant. [ Yes, that's what you are now. Even in a joke. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2014-03-07 05:49 pm UTC (link)
	[ Heh. ] I'm glad I can help out, if you need it. Ain't like I got much else to do right now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	actsmagnificent 2014-03-08 01:53 am UTC (link)
	Then grab some training wheels. [ Haruka holds up a wrench and nods to the other bikes. If she's going to make this joke, and he's going to be a good sport, she'll commit to it. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2014-03-08 11:00 am UTC (link)
	Yes sir! [ Or ma'am. He's still undecided. He also doesn't think it really matter because there are bicycles to tend to! ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	actsmagnificent 2014-03-08 03:20 pm UTC (link)
	[ It doesn't ever really matter to Haruka, so you're good. She grins and turns around to start fixing up a bike herself. First day, and already she's got a student teacher. Not bad. ] (Reply to this) (Parent)
