fandomhigh | Relax and Recharge 2: Extreme Relaxation, Tuesday Period Two

Bond had his students meet him in the Danger Shop, which was set up to look remarkably like the inside of a cargo plane, with number of a packed parachutes and the relevant safety gear set out, the floor was vibrating as the engine rumbled, and some of them might have felt their ears pop from the air pressure.

"Good morning, and welcome to the second session of Relax and Recharge," he greeted them, raising his voice to be heard over the engine. "We're going to be looking at some of the more counter-intuitive ways to relax this session. Due to the reckless and dangerous nature of these activities, class for the most part will be held in here." Because only Bond got to do these incredibly reckless and dangerous things in real life.

"As is traditional, we'll be starting off slowly this week, with introductions and a static line parachute jump, because flinging oneself off out of planes and hoping you have a soft landing does wonders for the nerves," he said. "Now, the way this is going to work is you'll gear up, then introduce yourselves to the rest of the class while I double-check your gear. Once that's done, you'll be clipped to the line and exit the plane one by one.

"Any questions?"

He's very cheerful about the fact he's going to be throwing you out of a plane.

Daphne was practically bouncing as he explained about what they were going to do today.

Oh, hey, it was that red-headed girl Ringo had seen last period, she'd introduced herself as "Daphne". One of the few people she didn't think she knew in that class from the first half of summer. But sharing a class was kind of like knowing someone, so Ringo offered a smile and a wave before returning her attention to the explanation.

Daphne smiled and waved back. She liked making new friends.

That was encouraging. Ringo's smile widened and she sort of sidled over closer to Daphne. Which didn't really involve much sidling. There wasn't exactly a ton of space to spread out in the back of a cargo plane.

Of course once she was there, it suddenly dawned on Ringo that having an unobtrusive conversation might not be the easiest thing to do if you had to talk loud enough to be heard over the thrumming of the plane's engines.

Maybe she should have thought this out a little better.

Daphne grinned at her anyway. They would just make sure that they met up to talk once they were on the ground again.

Unless...

She wondered if she knew sign language?

"Hi," Daphne said in what she hoped was loud enough for the other girl to hear.

Fortunately, Ringo had pretty good hearing, so she perked up at the greeting. "Hi," she called back, trying to pitch her own voice at the same volume. "I'm Ringo."

Which, well, Daphne probably already knew.

Kathy had signed up for this class because people had been getting on her case about relaxing and she'd figured one class a week where she did nothing couldn't hurt too much.

Discovering that rather than 'doing nothing' they'd be flinging themselves out of airplanes and the like instead? SO MUCH BETTER!
