Parkour Club - Godiva Street, Tuesday After Classes

[weetinyreese.livejournal.com]

"Hey guys, thanks for signing up. I know you all from classes and around the school, but if you don't know each other, say hi and introduce yourself if you want. We're pretty much here to practice and learn climbing and jumping in an urban environment. A lot of people in this time period do it for fun and they call it Parkour. I learned growing up because it was what we had to do to get around. There's not much need for it here, but I want to keep up with it anyway. All the buildings on this side of the street are empty, so I thought we could start here." He hadn't asked anyone permission to use the area. The thought had never occurred to him. "We can use the ladders out the back to get up to the roof but if anyone wants to try another way to get up, do it. We can do this on our own or together, practice what we know or learn from each other. Whatever comes naturally. If you've never done this kind of thing before, the best way to learn is to try it. If you need anything though, ask. We can help each other out."

The club consists of Prince Alexander, Kurt Wagner, Bruce Wayne, Roy Harper, Cara, Andros and Kyle Reese. Good little group!

Cara figured she could climb the wall without much difficulty, but decided to climb the ladder today. There'd always be another wall, but no guarantees on ladders.

George had been at Fandom for over a year. He knew this was probably a terrible idea, but he was far too much of a smart ass to let that bother him. So as Cara was climbing the ladder, he popped his head over the side. "Want a hand up, lass?"

The look Cara gave him as she finished climbing over the side suggested that repeating the offer would lead to Aly having a different father in his timeline (not that Cara was actually aware of this particular facet of Fandom weirdness). "Only if I get to keep it afterwards."

Ladders were all well and good in their place, but as far as George was concerned, it was way more fun not to use them.

Kyle was itching to get climbing, but he waited around a while to make sure everyone got off to a good start.

Alexander knew that, since he was technically a beginner at all of this (with a few exceptions of handy real-life experience), he should start with the ladders, but...that hardly seemed as enjoyable. He looked forward to giving himself the challenge of trying to work on figuring out the best way to scale the wall without.

Because real life experience told him that he should take the chance to experiment when he could, when there wasn't the threat of death hanging over you for a change.

Andros debated using the ladder for a few seconds but decided he'd climb without it.

Roy was a big believer in making use of the ladder when one presented itself, as he saw no reason to make his life any more difficult than it had to be. Also, when you were chasing a dude and he used the ladder, scaling the wall was rarely the faster way to catch up.

Kurt scrambled about halfway up the wall and crouched there with a hand outstretched. "Anyone need a boost?"

One of Bruce's smaller goals in life was to never find himself relying on ladders. He had an idea for a portable high-powered grapple line that would help him with that quite a bit, but for now he was going to have to rely on narrow alleys and sturdy construction to help him make his way up.

Talk to Kyle or Bond

"Oh yeah," Kyle added, "Mr. Bond's our faculty adviser. He can probably teach us some stuff too and he'll be in and out to check on us since this is a school thing."

Re: Talk to Kyle or Bond

[doubleohblonde]

Bond was just going to assume that Kyle had permission to be up here, that way lay plausible deniability all around if anyone asked.

"Ladders," George said, shaking his head sadly. "What are th'children gettin' up to these days that they're needin' ladders."

Re: Talk to Kyle or Bond

"Have you seen the shoes Cara's wearing? She needs the ladder," Kyle replied quiet enough that Cara shouldn't have been able to hear him. "You hear to watch or join in?" He may have been hassling George about it since he was a no-show at the club fair.

Re: Talk to Kyle or Bond

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

George couldn't help checking out Cara's shoes - and the rest of her because seriously. "Figured I better be joinin' in," he said, adding in a deadpan. "Gotta be makin' sure these lads and lasses don't pick up any bad habits."

Somehow, I will find it in myself to forgive you. SOMEHOW.

It's because you knew I'd give you a unicorn icon.
