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!)) ]

	[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)

	Re: Action labyrinthrunner 2014-03-13 04:19 am UTC (link)
	[Sarah touches the helmet Haruka made her wear.] I guess it's a good thing she forced this on me. [Right. There's social norms not awkward people follow. Like introducing oneself. Sarah gives a slightly nervous smile.] Um... I'm Sarah... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Action sendin_theclown 2014-03-13 11:44 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, it is a good thing. It could have been worse. [Don't worry. He's awkward too] Trowa. Do you need help up? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Action labyrinthrunner 2014-03-14 03:52 am UTC (link)
	[Sarah shook her head and pushed off the ground.] I just hope the bike's OK. I don't exactly know how to fix a broken bicycle... [She uprights the bike and looks it over. The chain popped off the gears but that was easy to fix. At least she knew how to deal with it. She lowers the kickstand so she can pull at the chain.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sendin_theclown 2014-03-14 11:49 pm UTC (link)
	[As she got to her feet, Trowa stood up as well, watching to make sure she was alright. He continued to stand by in case she did need help with getting the bike set back together] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	labyrinthrunner 2014-03-15 03:28 am UTC (link)
	[Sarah realizes he's still standing there as she places the chain back in place. Which means she's going to have to talk to him more.] Um... thank you again. For all your help Trowa. [She wipes her hands on her jeans, though it doesn't do much to cut the grease. She gets back on the bike.] And... I guess... how long have you been here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sendin_theclown 2014-03-15 11:48 pm UTC (link)
	[How ironic it is though that Trowa really didn’t care whether she talked to him or not. He really just wanted make sure she got up and going again] I just wanted to make sure you were alright. Over a week. Not too long compared to others. You? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Something similar. Do you remember the dinosaur attacks? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sendin_theclown 2014-03-17 08:14 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, I was here for that. That was... odd and very dangerous. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Sarah nods.] It was the day after I arrived. Not a good welcome I have to admit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It was a few days after I arrived that happened. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I wasn't expecting it at all. One moment I was sleeping in the park, and the next I was being chased! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sendin_theclown 2014-03-19 04:43 pm UTC (link)
	That is definitely a rude awakening. Were you alright? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Piper saved me. And Charlotte. So it all turned out OK in the end. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's good to hear. At least it only lasted one day. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	labyrinthrunner 2014-03-20 05:52 pm UTC (link)
	At least. Not really a good prison though if we're all in danger of getting killed by dinosaurs. Though I wouldn't know what makes a prison good. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sendin_theclown 2014-03-21 02:53 am UTC (link)
	Well, most of the ones I know of don't have dinosaurs to begin with, but there could be one somewhere that does. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Same with my home. I've never seen them at all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Sarah nods. And then, she feels awkward again.] Well... thank you... for helping me Trowa. I'm going to... join the group again. [She smiles and mounts her bike again, ready to ride off.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sendin_theclown 2014-03-23 12:49 am UTC (link)
	[He nods] It's no problem. [And he turns back to his bike as well to get back on. He's not going to object to her wanting to rejoin. That was the purpose of the class right] (Reply to this) (Parent)
