[Closed-ish] Swift as the coursing river

[shortspoken]

Who: Annabellie and her victims students
What: 3DMG lessons
When: Nowish
Where: The forest just off Chloe's ranch



[ Anyone who expressed even the slightest interest in learning to use the 3DMG - and a few who didn't (hello Bertl) - will have received a customarily curt private message via the network this morning. The message contains nothing but a time, the address to Chloe's ranch and instructions to "bring your own gear if you have it."

Contrary to appearances, it's not some kind of drug meet. IT'S 3D MANEUVERING LESSONS TIME, YO. Everybody party. Tell your friends. And watch this while I set up some fukken subthreads.

OKAY DONE. Tag in wherever you'd like, don't feel like you have to play out all the lessons because wow nobody has time for that shit, annnnd if you have questions just prod me. ]

Comments

[shortspoken]

[ Ellie manages not to laugh. Barely. Just about. It's a close-run thing.

She's not above making an acidic little comment, though. Which is exactly what she's about to do when Levi's vocalisation makes her pause. Uh-oh. ]

What? Did you break something?

Do you need me to get Ryan?

[dirtdevil]

No. God, no. I'm fine.

[ Now that he's gone and fucked it up, he's going to be even more overly cautious. Whether that extra bit of caution will be completely overshadowed by the growing queasiness remains to be seen. He's going to ignore it as long as he possibly can, even if it ends in tears (and... other things).

Okay, time to pull it together, dude. He pushes himself back upright, very slowly to avoid losing his balance again. This time, he manages to hold steady, though he looks a little green in the face. Which clearly means it's time to move on to something even more difficult, right? ]

[ She gives him a look. Since it's Ellie, it's pretty much the same as all her other looks. The slightly raised eyebrow does indicate some skepticism, though. ]

If you say so.

You need to be completely comfortable in your balance. Try shifting your weight around. It's important to get used to that before you learn to actually move.

[ He's not even going to respond to that, because now he has something to prove, and that something is that he's not a lost cause. Hopefully. Wait, what if he is a lost cause? What if he can't even get a grasp on something a bunch of dumbass teenagers can learn without a problem?

Aw hell no. He's not going to let that happen. Not today. Determination triumphs over nausea for now, and he's holding steady, while carefully doing as Ellie instructed. Check out these sick moves girl, America's Next Top Titan Killer is in the house. (He came in to barf in the bathroom.) ]
