Driver's Ed [Thursday, Week 4, Period 5]

[eager-platypus.livejournal.com]

The Danger Shop was set up to look like the racetrack again, and there was a tent for the class to gather under, which they would probably want to use since it was pouring rain. Real rain, not condoms.

"As much as we all might hope to be able to drive only in good weather, sometimes, one must drive in less pleasant conditions. Take the cars out and try to get around without slipping or sliding or crashing. It might not be as simple as you think."

Wet, if possible.

Notice how there's no mention of animal time. How strange!

Figuratively, not literally, hopefully. Hydroplaning is not for the faint of heart.

Talk to Ziva [07/30]

She's actually capable of speech this week!

Seriously, if all you want to do is sign in and play in the BDE, I will not hold it against you. BDEEEEE.

Effy wasn't looking that impressed by the rain, she had enough experience driving in that in England, thanks.

Alex Karev whose losing clothes because he's sweating. Rilly.

Re: Chat/Listen to Ziva [07/30]

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

Alex managed to be awake during class but he was conspicuously not looking anywhere but at the professor and he was keeping his junk tightly guarded, thank you. He could still feel that.

Re: Take a Spin! [07/30]

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

Alex jumped in a car and tore out. Of course, as soon as he tore out, he smacked into something and the only tearing he'd done was to the car.

Oops.

Dinah Lance who just took a shower after two days on the road

Re: Chat/Listen to Ziva [07/30]

Dinah was still dozy, but managed to at least notice the teacher wasn't an impala any more.

Re: Take a Spin! [07/30]

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

Dinah was doing fine, really, until she dozed off at the wheel. (http://community.livejournal.com/fh_wishverse/2822.html?thread=1175558#t1175558) And didn't wake up when the car rolled to a stop.

Tara Maclay who is on the beach!

Re: Take a Spin! [07/30]

[life_inshadow]

Tara took a car out and drove very, very, carefully and slowly.

She didn't hydroplane, but she was driving at a speed guaranteed to annoy anyone behind her.

Re: Take a Spin! [07/30]

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

Jack peeled out and did a few laps in the car, managing not to hit anything, and managing not to overcorrect when things did go slideyways.

Francine Peters who likes pina coladas and getting caught in the rain

Re: Chat/Listen to Ziva [07/30]

[shyest-eyes.livejournal.com]

The rain didn't bother her, though she was concerned about how it would affect her driving.

Re: Take a Spin! [07/30]

[shyest-eyes.livejournal.com]

Hinata took it slowly, being careful of the turns and how the wheels were holding up to the rain.

She could always speed up later--like all training, slow was better at first.

Re: Take a Spin! [07/30]

[thatsamilkshake]

Francine kicked ass at driving in the rain while worried about everything under the sun!

Because she drove the entire course at about 5 mph.

The rain didn't seem to bother Penelope at all. Not even in thinking it might affect her driving.

Griff was amazed that he managed to stay awake for class. He could only hope he wouldn't pass out behind the wheel.

Re: Take a Spin! [07/30]

[youcantfollow.livejournal.com]

He didn't seem capable of going at normal speeds, sending his car hydroplaning straight into the barrier. Oops.

Re: Chat/Listen to Ziva [07/30]

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

Jack managed to stay awake during the whole class. It wasn't easy. It involved a giant jug of caffeinated beverage. He didn't quite get the name, though.

Re: Take a Spin! [07/30]

[bad-nose-job.livejournal.com]

Penelope took off very carefully, but confidently, and was entirely fine the whole time. Yes, she was going slow but she figured it was better to be safe than sorry.

Re: Take a Spin! [07/30]

It would have been one thing for the car to slow down, but when it stopped completely, Ziva frowned deeply and headed out to the track, seemingly uncaring about the rain. When she opened the door, she gasped at the sight of Dinah, but when she saw that she was breathing, Ziva's training kicked in and she realized she was just sleeping. The breathing was a good sign; the fact that Dinah wouldn't wake up was not, and Ziva pulled her out of the car and brought her back to the tent, laying her down so she could keep an eye on her. She'd met some deep sleepers before, but this took the pie. Or something like that.

[Dinah moved with permission!]

Re: Take a Spin! [07/30]

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

Another fifteen minutes or so later, Dinah opened her eyes, totally disoriented. "Again?" she mumbled, rubbing her eyes, looking around. Whoops. "Oh. Hi, Ms. David. Sorry."

Re: Take a Spin! [07/30]

[eager-platypus.livejournal.com]

"Hello Dinah," Ziva said, crouching down. "Again, you said? Are you all right?"

Re: Take a Spin! [07/30]

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

Dinah shook her head, more in bewilderment than denial. "I fell asleep in D--- a shop, yesterday. Just thunk. And I keep dozing off." She looked over at the cars, surprised. "Did I fall asleep while I was driving?"

Re: Take a Spin! [07/30]

[eager-platypus.livejournal.com]

Ziva nodded. "I had to retrieve you from the car. Have you seen one of the doctors about this? It does not sound as if you are well."

Re: Take a Spin! [07/30]

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"No," Dinah said, sounding uncertain. "Karla said I wasn't sick, but... maybe I will tonight. After work." She gave Ziva a guilty smile. "Can't hurt, right?"

Leda wasn't sure she was ready to try driving in the rain when she might pass out at any moment.

Re: Take a Spin! [07/30]

[eager-platypus.livejournal.com]

"No, it cannot hurt at all," Ziva said. "I am glad you are awake, at least."

Eva Rodriguez

Re: Take a Spin! [07/30]

[1moredaytodance.livejournal.com]

Eva was terrified, but when her time came to get up and drive, she put her best face on and drove. Surprisingly, she didn't do that horribly. Of course, that might have been because she was going only about ten miles an hour.
