Relax and Recharge, Monday Period Three

Today Bond led his students down to one of the wider streets of Fandom, where a number of abandoned rickshaws waited by a start line.

"Good afternoon," he greeted them. "Now one thing about relaxing, is that occasionally someone will come up with an idea that at best sounds dangerously unwise, like driving fast cars, skydiving, swimming with sharks, that kind of thing. And for some people, these activities turn out to be highly successful. Possibly because of the adrenaline rush, possibly because they have a latent deathwish."

"So today you're going to try your hands at rickshaw racing, which on an island like this, is as close to driving fast cars as I'm allowed to let you do outside the Danger Shop. I've marked out a circuit around the island, so find rickshaw to your liking, assemble at the staring line, and when I give the signal, start."

Daphne is looking both curious and excited about this.

She really missed her car and the track, sometimes.

Edward hadn't the faintest how to drive a rickshaw, let alone through these streets, but he was intent on giving it a spirited try.

And the spirit did strike him, after a moment or two. He pedaled for all he was worth, and somewhere in the middle he found a rhythm that kept the rickshaw both upright and going at relative speed.

At that point, he started to enjoy himself.

Nathan figured his only saving grace here was that he'd taken a few driving classes before. So, he knew some very basic rules of the road. Not enough, though.

He was strong though so that helped and he didn't tire easily which meant he could concentrate on not crashing.
