Outdoor Adventure Time!, Part 2, Tuesday, period 1

[spin_kick_snap]

Kathy knew that Parker and Eliot preferred to bring their students to real places when they were in charge of their class, but Kathy's best physical skills were kinda dangerous for people who were new to it and/or lacked super-agility (and possibly the ability to bounce). So class was in the Danger Shop today--which at least meant that she could program it to be as awesome a landscape as she wanted.

"Hey guys," she said, waving when the class came in. "So, uhh, Eliot and Parker are, umm, busy with something, so they asked me to cover for them today." For reasons. Reasons she was resolutely not thinking about. "We're going over parkour and freerunning. Both are disciplines all about getting from one place to another efficiently and fast, using only the power of your own body and your surroundings to get there. You can use anything to get from one place to another--climb up walls, leap over roofs, jump from tree-branches and dash across cables. I programmed it so that if you end up falling, the ground is super-bouncy, so you won't get hurt. You might even bounce back up to where you fell from."

She pointed to several various routes that she'd marked with different-colored flags to mark out the difficulty. "Here's a ladder for people who are new at this to climb up to the roof, or if you'd prefer, you can try finding another way up. Uhh, at the end roof, there's snacks for everybody. Real snacks. So, uhh, let's go?"

Yellow Route

Medium difficultly. Not all parts of the roof connect, forcing you to make jumps (or find another way around). Bits of the trail require running across flat beams laid across spaces too wide to jump or climbing up sections of wall no higher than ten feet tall, with easy hand- and footholds.

The green route didn't look terribly exciting, Cosette had decided, and her desire to try out the red one was tempered only by the fact that she'd rather not break a limb and then be unable to try it or something like it later on, so . . . she was taking the yellow route as a warmup course of sorts.

She was laughing as she took the course, clambering around with an abandon that would have utterly scandalized the sisters of Petit-Picpus.

There was a certain amount of catharsis in it, too, after spending most of last week worrying about people.
