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

[vdistinctive]

Class today met at the docks this week, with the usual heads up to wear bathing suits and bring sunscreen. There was a large number of brightly colored personal watercrafts just off the end of the dock.

"For our last class of the summer, Parker and I wanted to do something special," Eliot said. "You guys have been enthusiastic and willing to try just about anything. We couldn't have asked for a better group."

“You really have.” Parker was so glad nobody was graduating and leaving or anything. “So you get to zoom around on the water! With motorized skis!” She beamed at them. “And then barbecue!... Try not to run over each other, okay?”

"We'd prefer not to end the summer with injuries. Which is why you're all gonna be wearing life jackets, too." Eliot would accept no negotiations on that. "You can double up or go it alone, but not more than two people per jet ski. And no going out so far you can't still see the docks. We've got some buoys set up out there if you want to try maneuvers. Otherwise, just have fun, yeah?"

“And remember to sign up for our next class!” … whatever that was going to be.

Watch the ocean, not your phones.

. . . yes, it was safe to say that Cosette was visibly eager to get out there and try one of these jet ski things, considering how intently she was staring at them.

Poor Edward had no interest in the phones nor the ocean, for once.

He was clutching one of those life jackets, and he was clutching it over his head. The sun persisted.

Could he go back to bed now?

"Are you okay?" Parker asked, popping up out of nowhere. "Do you need sunblock?"

Re: Listen/look/socialize

Edward winced at the sound of her voice. "No, no," he said, "...No."

"Did you wake up in a tree again?" Parker asked with some concern.

Drive a jet ski!

[vdistinctive]

By yourself, or with someone else. If you wipe out, but sure to signal a teacher for help!

Oh, look - something that went fast!

Yeah, Jalian was going to spend the entire class pushing the waterski's limits.

Talk to the teachers

[vdistinctive]

Who are not talking about what they were doing last week. Nope.

Re: Talk to the teachers

[vdistinctive]

Eliot's keeping close to the docks, serving as home base and keeping an eye on things.

"So, this is the outdoors," Kathy said, trying to keep a straight face while talking to him. "I understand this might be bright and rather unfamiliar after your week-long sequester."

Re: Talk to the teachers

[vdistinctive]

Eliot snorted. "What, you think I didn't drag them outside on occasion?" He had a whole backyard and roof for them to make use of, after all. Eliot seemed to notice who he was talking to and cleared his throat. "I mean -- dunno what you're talking about. We had a job."

So that was what they were calling it these days.

Re: Talk to the teachers

[spin_kick_snap]

"Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight," Kathy said, nodding. "I completely believe you. Were you this believable on your job, too, or did you step up your game for little old me?"

Jet skis were pretty damn fun, even if they did not involve Hardison and Eliot and sun tan oil.

Re: Talk to the teachers

Kathy didn't tease Parker the way she did Eliot, but she was still glad to see her out and about. She waved as her jet ski intercepted Parker's path. "Hi!" she called to be heard over the motors. "Good to see you!"

Re: Talk to the teachers

[whoisalicewhite.livejournal.com]

"I got you a present," Parker said, with her customary lack of introductory segues. "For being a great TA all summer."

Re: Talk to the teachers

[spin_kick_snap]

"I--oh--you did?" Kathy asked, so surprised she nearly lost control of her jet ski. "You didn't have to!" she added, once she got it back under control. "I have fun just being your TA!"

Talk to the TA

[vdistinctive]

Who probably isn't wondering what they were doing last week. Since they're kind of obvious.

Re: Talk to the TA

[spin_kick_snap]

Nope! She is rolling her eyes and smirking whenever she catches Eliot's eye.

She left off the eye-rolling for Parker, but the smirking was kind of inevitable.

OOC
