Parkour Club - Godiva Street, Tuesday After Classes

"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."

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.
