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!)) ]

"Furtively" isn't going to escape Haruka's notice, Sarah: the movement catches her eye, and she heads over to greet her new student. ]

Thanks for coming. It's nice you could make it.

[Sarah looked up and felt herself go all tongue-tied and fluttery again, they way she had last time this woman came up to her. She didn't like that feeling. Nor did she enjoy feeling herself flush.]

Um... hi. Yeah... the bikes. I thought... it'd be fun. And um... thanks. Or you're welcome I mean.

[ Haruka grins, fetching Sarah a helmet. This one looks about her size. ] D'you need a refresher or anything?

[ They say one never forgets how to ride a bike, but....stranger things have happened. ]

[Sarah shook her head, though she gave the helmet an odd look. Helmets weren't really a thing back in the 80s.]

Why do I need this?

Protection. [ These aren't too unusual, right? She smiles. ] Your head's too pretty to risk in a fall.

[Only really little kids wear them.]

I... really? [In reaction to the pretty comment. Sarah takes the helmet.]

We don't really wear them at home. I don't even have a helmet. But then I don't have a bike either.

[ Haruka nods at her last comment. ] There you go.

[ She'll step back to assess the fit once Sarah has it on. A helmet that doesn't fit is a helmet that doesn't work. ]

[She fits it onto her head and snaps the clasp together.]

It seems light. Lighter than the ones I've seen a few people wear at least.

[Because helmets in the 1980s, when they did exist, were big and clunky.]

That's science for you. [ Given the variety of time periods here, she tends to take differences in stride. (Amazing how many people know bicycles, though. Whoops.)

Checking out the helmet, Haruka nods. ]
You're all set. Feel free to ride around before class if you'd like.

[ If it's been a while, you might be rusty. ]

[Sarah nodded and shook her head, trying to get used to the feel. She wasn't a big fan.]

Right. Um... thank you. For the helmet. And the class.

Just being a good citizen. [ Or a sarcastic one. She smiles. ] Have fun.
