Let's Play Tourists!, first period

Jon met everybody at Portalocity looking more than a little sheepish.

"First of all, I would like to apologize for last week." He grimaced and rubbed the back of his neck. "I...well, um. Never mind. Anyway, I apologize. This week we're starting in Paris." He handed them each a ticket for a tour. "It'll be a few hours, but...well, we've got portals, so. And you can choose to spend a little longer if you like."

He led them through the portal and over to where their "fun" guide was supposed to meet them. Jon was rather dreading whatever a "fun" guide was, but hopefully it wouldn't be too dreadful.

Ready for Paris!

"Oh." Jon looked from the scooters to his ticket. Somehow he'd missed that part.

He sighed and reached for a helmet.

"Right. Well, let's...saddle up. Or something."

Caleb had trouble. Eventually he found his balance, but he kept wanting to propel the scooter with his foot which threw him off again. He was grateful for the helmet but he probably could have done with kneepads or other protection as well.

That was fine; he was in good company! Or at least Jon's company.

Jon gave him a sympathetic grimace as he picked himself back up for the thousandth time.

"I ain't even rode a bike yet." Caleb grumbled. "I'm usin' a heck of a lot o' self control not t' start grumblin' like an old timer 'bout technology."

Jon managed a chuckle. "I suppose I've got a bit of an advantage over you there. I'm merely uncoordinated."

"At least these ain't those seg-yews I've seen pictures of. Probably butchered that word, there."

"Seg...? Oh, seg-ways. No, this is at least a bit better. Though I'd have preferred to walk, honestly," Jon said.

"Good grief I am not doin' th' image o' th' American tourist any favors am I." He was pretty sure he'd mispronounced a French word in Paris, but he was also afraid to assume that it was French.

Jon shook his head. "I think so long as you're not rude, you'll be fine. Or, well, as fine as anybody is when faced with Parisians."

Enjoy! (The itinerary is on the page I linked to.) You get about fifteen minutes at various places. Then you can choose to go back for a bit. Just leave Jon out of your Eiffel Tower trip; he gets vertigo.

He's here!

ISTG I almost forgot class *again*! WTF, brain?
