Driver's Ed, May 5th, Period 1

[dr-tommy.livejournal.com]

The Danger Shop is set up to look like the parking lot outside a certain museum. Complete with T-Rex statue. As Tommy stares up at it, he rolls his eyes. He should have gotten someone from the school to help program these scenarios instead of writing Hayley. She had a weird sense of humour.

"Okay class, today's your final." He waves to the Jeep (of course it's the Jeep) parked outside the museum. He hands each of them a list of tasks (shoulder checks, paralell parking, staying at the speed limit). "You'll note that each thing on your list is worth a certain number of points. For each task you don't do correctly, those points will be removed from a score of 100."

[ooc: please mod yourselves completing the first, oh, few minutes of the test. there's something planned to happen after that.

zomg, tired now, going to bed. will pick up threads t'morrow afternoon after i get home from work.]

Archie might be on the verge of a nervous breakdown, because he has to drive something different every week. And he's still kind of . . . yeah, really lousy at the driving thing.

At least he remembers to put his seat belt on before he peels out onto the road in a crazy breakneck kind of way.

And within a few minutes, there's the T-Rex.

As if Archie wasn't bad enough at this driving thing, this is pressure of the absolutely unexpected and completely unwelcome kind.

He spins the wheel hard -- once again forgetting that this is a steering wheel and not a ship's wheel -- and by sheer, dumb, only-in-Fandom random I did not mean to rhyme luck manages to do a 180 as his foot presses harder and harder on the gas.

That would be because he's gone rigid with terror, and not in a good bad dirty good way.

Unfortunately, he's now careening straight toward the T-Rex.

Good thing he doesn't know it's carnivorous.

"Rarrr!" The T-Rex says, looking down at Archie.

Archie might be headed straight between the T-Rex's legs now.

And wow, that's a mighty big tail back there.

The T-Rex leans down further.

And overbalances, sending itself tumbling. Stupid, stupid holographic robot.

Unfortunately for Archie, whose steering ability still leaves a whole world to be desired, he clips the T-Rex's foot as he goes by and spins out, off the road.

And into a lamppost.

Ouch.

Luckily, the Shop resets, with Archie (and the Jeep) no worse for the wear.

Unluckily for Archie, who still hasn't quite grasped that whole "simulation" concept, there is a whole lot of trauma going on.

He just lies there for a while, feeling like he's been hit by a frigate anchor.

"Well. That was educational."
