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!)) ]

	[He does so, and almost panics when the bike wobbles. But he corrects it, and feel stupid, because falling off a bike is nothing to fret over (even if it is embarrassing).] Okay. [He's got this!] Is this what you did where you're from? Teach? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Only by accident. [ She supposes she did look after the younger girls, after a fashion. But whatever. Haruka's never seen herself as the teaching type, which makes today all the stranger for her. ] Have you found your center?

[ Once he hits his stride, well, that's the important part. Unfortunately it's also the part that can't be taught - in Haruka's opinion, anyway. ]

	If you mean the thing that's keeping me from falling... Yeah. I think so. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Keep up the good work. [ This is the most teacherly smile she can manage. It does feel good to see people learning stuff. ] Turn when you're ready for it, but no rush. We'll cover that in class. (Reply to this) (Parent)
