Driving Lessons

[memory-hax.livejournal.com]

Contrary to belief, Phillip wasn't about to just throw Will onto a bike. Thus being said, he had asked for her to come to the sensoriums for a little bit of practice, remembering how he learned how to drive.

A series of pylons in a large open lot were set up and a RideVendor stood to the side, idling quietly as he leaned against the HardBoiler, looking all for the world like he was debating on the course about to be undertook.

For that matter, he had dragged an assistant out, one Ren Akiyama for the part of the course.

Ren could stand to get some more friends going.

"I haven't tried skiing yet," mused Phillip, but with considerable effort, shoved it to the side.

"All right, we should get started on the riding lesson. As with any cycle, you need to take a fairly clipped pace, about ten kilometers per hour at the most to keep upright. Start it up and we'll show you how to go through the course."

Ren noticed the look Phillip had on his face and sighed. He'd dealt with Phillip's obsessive research before, and it wasn't fun.

"Focus on one thing at a time, Phillip," he insisted.

Getting back to the lesson, Ren gave instructions on how to actually get the bike in motion, then said, "Start moving."

Will nodded, listening to Ren's instructions before she started the bike... and then had the thing speed forward pretty fast before she got it to slow down. Good thing she wasn't near a wall or anything!

Phillip jogged up to steady her. "Ease up a little on the throttle," he suggested. "Slower motions than fast ones first."

Ren brought his bike up closer, mostly as demonstration since he was only barely leaning in his seat.

"Watch how far you're leaning," he said. "Right now, you need the wind resistance."

Will nodded, leaning back a bit as she slowed down on the bike.

"There you go," replied Phillip. "Keep it nice and steady until you can increase the throttle a bit."

Ren kept his pace, nodding as he watched Will. So far, so good.

Will smiled as she relaxed a bit, getting more of a feel for the bike. She sped up a bit, but not too much, since well, hey, she was still young and getting used to this. It was kinda like how she needed to take it slow when she first got her powers.

"She's doing pretty good," remarked Ren. "A regular rider." And he chuckled at his pun.

Ren gave Phillip a look for the dumb joke, then turned his attention back to Will.

"Better," he said.

Will was a bit more confident now, to say the least. "Okay, so what's next."

"All right, we'll start in on the course. Try to follow the row as best as possible. We'll get on weaving after that." said Phillip, giving Ren a quirky grin.

"Take it slowly at first," Ren reminded her. "Speed up when you feel confident."

He wasn't about to have her crash and burn on her first lesson. People person or not, Ren did have a protective streak.

Will nodded. "Okay, will do," she said, focusing on keeping it slow for the moment.
