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!)) ]

[Asami's not as excited to have a bike without a motor in it, so she's doing her best to see what tricks she can manage to pull off without damaging the bicycle. She doesn't want to make any trouble for Haruka. She just wants to know if she can do bunny hops.]

[ Haruka feels your pain, Asami. It's important to make one's own fun in such situations. Noticing the attempted tricks, she wheels over. ]

Sorry it can't break the sound barrier.

It's better than nothing.

I do miss motors, though.

We'll get there. [ A pause, as she looks around the group. There's somebody else here doing tricks. ] Have you met Duo?

[ Haruka jerks her head in the right direction. ] The showoff over there's our postman. He's also a mechanic. Might help you out.

[ That slightly customized engine you were looking at in her Vespa earlier? Yup. ]

Okay. [She puts on a smile and turn his bike in his direction.] I guess I could go say hi.

Make friends. [ Haruka waves Asami towards Duo. What do you know? This class really is promoting social bonding.

Weird. ]

[M'gann had never really ridden a bike before. She never really had much need for it. When you could fly, you didn't need it.

But she had decided to give it a try. As she was riding along, trying not to fall, she spotted Asami pulling off tricks. And she was in awe]


Wow!

[Asami smiles at the praise, trying not to seem too pleased with herself.] I guess it's something. I'd still rather that these things had motors.

[It was surprising for someone who has never really ridden a bike before. Sure, it probably wasn't that hard, but she was trying to do the legitimately not use her powers to help]

So you would prefer a motorcycle to this?

Definitely. I miss driving.

But this is better than nothing.

I suppose it is.

I've never really ridden much of either.

[And her bike wobbles a moment when she says that]

[Asami does the best shrug she can manage while keeping control of her bike.] This is a good place to learn skills. If only because there's nothing else to do.

I've noticed that. I've had much more opportunity to learn more about things on Earth than I have since I've been on Earth.

This place might not actually such a bad prison. If we were criminals.

Yeah... I've had that thought too. I mean, I'm sure some people really have done bad things but a lot of things are taken out of context.

Yeah. It would definitely need new management. And real rules.

I agree with that. And I'm sure a lot of other people do too.
