Driver's Ed, Jan 18th (8th period)

Much like in last week's Friday class, the Danger Shop is set up like a classroom with this at the front:

"For the first half of the class, I'd like everyone to get in the car, and just... try to get a feel for the controls. Since this is only a simulation, the car won't move, no matter how hard you press the gas pedal. So... go at it. And feel free to ask me any questions you might have."

"For the second half, we're going to take a look at these," he says, passing everyone a handout. "I want you to look over the sheet and tell me what you think the signs mean."

Sign your name here.

Ivanova signs in.

Archie signs in, looking no less apprehensive than last week. Because that car is . . . frighteningly shiny.

*DEATH, feeling particularly poetic, does not sign his name, but isntead draws a small symbol to represent him. It apears to be a Mobius. He snaps on his way back to his chair.*

Broots signs in and wonders where to put his laptop.

Play in the car.

Archie gets behind the wheel of the car and -- well, at least there's a wheel. Even if it is small and strange and doesn't have spokes on it. He's not sure how much leverage he can get on it from a seated position, though.

He accidentally presses the gas pedal and, though the car doesn't move, the roaring of the engine makes him jump halfway out of the seat with a yelp.

*DEATH slides into the seat next to Archie, who, while not being able to see him, can definately feel the poetic justice of sitting next to personification of DEATH.*

Archie is suddenly, if vaguely, very much aware that there is, in fact, a reason that some people think of cars as weapons.

At the sound of the voice, he yelps again. "I -- I'm not sure? I might know if it weren't a simulation designed not to move!"

Unlike a very large portion of the population, Broots has been in a car before. And on one memorable occasion, he even drove one. Sort of. Into the car parked in front. Most of his car experience was in video games. Which is why he was happily letting the gas pedal hit the floor of the car.

Talk amongst yourselves, try and figure out what the signs mean. Brainstorming is encouraged!

Archie has no trouble figuring out any of the text-only signs. They're fairly self-explanatory, although he's not entirely sure why a road sign would instruct someone to dip. (Dip what, and dip it where?) But as he's never seen a gas pump, nor any of the modern-day roads illustrated on the signs, those confuse him rather badly.

"Er, I assume some of these signs with arrows on them indicate the flow of traffic?"

Most of the signs are familiar from having stared out the window while Cam chattered a mile a minute, but a few are a bit baffling. "Um, 31, 33, 41, and 46 are confusing. And what's the difference between 6 and 7?"

The smart doctor glasses want to hear from you.

Just in case.

That's my car! Except mine is red and has a Rose-For-Emily-esque dead prom corsage on the antenna. *misses her car*

A very confused and sorry mun cries. I was so sure this class was on Tuesday! Then again, I was sure today was Thursday.
