Outdoor Adventures Time! Tuesday, period 1

“CLIFF DIVING.”

The class met this week on the edge of the preserve. Eliot, who had a large bag of supplies slung over his shoulder and a walking stick, gave Parker a bit of side-eye.

"Yes," he said. "After we hike out to the cliffs."

“Right, that,” Parker agreed. “I brought wetsuits again.” She pointed to a few duffel bags. “Because it’s warm out, but the water is still cold. And if you want to dive in just your clothes, that’s okay. I brought towels. But you might regret that is all I’m saying.”

"Those of you not into throwin' yourselves off cliffs," all, like, three of you, "I'll be setting up some campfires at the top. If you're interested, I can show you. If not . . . I got stuff for s'mores."

Parker was maybe rubbing off on him.

“Or you can do both,” Parker pointed out. “If you wanna dive for a bit and then decide you’re not up for it again. Or vice versa. No limits, people.”

"Only requirement is the hike," Eliot said. "Which you might wanna get used to, since stuff we're doin' on the island is all gonna involve walking to it. It's a shorter one today, though, only about ten minutes. Keep an eye out and see if you can spot any of Fandom's weirder wildlife."

Like those green deer people always talked about. Eliot hadn't really seen one. He wasn't chatty enough.

“Let’s get going, people! Hup hup hup!”

That last bit was for you, Eliot. Heee.

"Well, not that I know of right now, but yeah, I can pretty much guarantee you could find one at least at a Y in Baltimore." Then he remembered Kaylin was one of the folks from a completely different reality and added: "A Y is sort of like a really inexpensive health club."

Yeah, health club wasn't going to mean much to her either.

But there was something more important on her mind.

"Would I have to wear one of those almost naked clothes things that people wear?

"They've usually got rules about wearin' 'proper attire', so yeah. You might be able to get away with a wetsuit, though."

"I'd need to be all covered," she said. "Otherwise I'll just, well... stay away from cliffs, I guess."

"Alright." Eliot wasn't going to try to argue with that. "Maybe you can find someone around here who'd be willing to work with you? Then you don't have to worry about people lookin' at you funny if you're fully dressed while you practice."
notamascot: (Torso what)

"Maybe," she said. "I'll think about it."

And see how brave she could be about asking someone.

Eliot nodded. "It'd probably beat the hell out of 'avoiding cliffs' for the rest of your life."

"Technically, I'd only have to avoid cliffs with deep water at the bottom," Kaylin pointed out. "That might not be too hard in Elantra."

"The ones with deep water are the ones you're likely not to go splat at the bottom of," Eliot said. "And if you've got a way to avoid that, then you should be able to avoid the water entirely, anyway."

"True," Kaylin said musingly. "And there aren't exactly any cliffs in the middle of Elantra."

That she'd seen. Yet.
