Day 351 // private audio + action, sector 4
[ audio - locked to Gon ]

[ Haruka has been promising Gon to show him her cool hobby for quite some time now. And it's finally a day ending in 1 or 4 again. So: ]

I'm ready. Come out to Sector 4.

[ action - open ]

[ That's right, it's time for driving class! Haruka has dirt bikes ready for anyone who wants one, as well as a lone motocross bike she'd found in the bike shop. The engine isn't great, though. It won't take her much faster than her motor scooter, which is parked off to one side.

There's a lot of puddles on the streets and in the parks today. What better time for a lesson on hydroplaning...?

She's putting one of the dirt bikes through its paces on a grassy spot, both wheels leaving the ground on occasion as she jumps puddles. The bike is splattered. The bottom of her riding jumpsuit is splattered.

But when she takes her helmet off and shakes out her bangs, her skin and hair are still impeccable. ]

	[ More new people! Hooray, a day Haruka won't be bored. ] You were expecting skis? [ Those were yesterday. ~~Nah, Haruka stayed in during the cold. A sharp wind was blowing.~~ ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Repulsor lifts. Hover technology. I'm a good pilot, but wheels aren't something I have much experience with.

[ hover bikes? x-wings? y-wings? the falcon? yes, she can pilot any of those things just fine. something with wheels, though, looks oddly less stable than something that hovers inches above the ground or goes shooting through space at light- and sublight- speeds. ]

[ Leia isn't the first person Haruka has met whose world has more advanced technology than hers, so she just nods. ] Balance practice first, then.

[ Pick your poison. There are all kinds of colors for both bikes and helmets. ] Though there's fewer dimensions to worry about.

[ Bikes only go up and down in the air if you are really trying to make them do so. Or if you are about to be in big trouble. ]

[ balance practice. somehow, she doesn't think she'll have a problem with that. (~~jedi~~ force-users are cheaters.) ]

Depends on what you're flying. There are limitations on some speeders. It'll keep you gliding above the ground, but you can't, for example, go sailing right over a massive canyon. The coils aren't designed for that kind of gravitational resistance. You'd plummet to the bottom of it as quickly as something with wheels would.

[ she takes a moment to twist and pin her braids at the base of her skull, the plucks the first helmet from the line and secures it on her head. the bike is selected in a similar manner: first in line. the colors don't match or compliment one another in the least, but the princess doesn't seem to care. mix and match equipment was just another day in the rebel office for her. ]

[ ...okay, Haruka wants to visit wherever this person's from. And then take driving lessons there. Some people have all the luck when it comes to vehicles.

Her pupil appears to be fine without instruction, so instead of offering Helpful Hints about Bicycles Haruka continues the conversation. ] Sounds exciting.

[ There's no wind in space, but an anti-gravity speeder on a planet? "Exciting" is an understatement. ]

	It can be. [ and as she climbs onto the bike, she imagines it probably is for someone who didn't grow up around that level of technology. ] How do you make this... [ she looks for a switch in all the places it ought to be on a speeder ] Go? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	if you were imagining her on the one with a motor i can change this orz actsmagnificent 2015-12-05 02:44 pm UTC (link)
	[ Haruka waits to see if it'll occur to her pupil. ] Do you see a motor? [ Said not sarcastically, but (hopefully) helpfully. Teaching oneself is the best way to learn. ] (Reply to this) (Parent)
