Welcome to Gaia! ::

Today was a great day. It was near the end of summer, regular school'd be starting soon, and the cooler weather had not yet hit. Tizzy, in the spirit of things, had decided to set up yet another outdoor class. ANd with a wrath liberality girl on her way as a student, it was probably best to do something that'd be a bit of a test of strength and skill without too much excess.

So, with purpose and a lot of interesting montages that you will never see because this is an rp, the android went to setting up a rock wall and gear for Bleez to climb up. She herself could fly via attachments to her boots, and didn't need to climb, but it seemed like something her student would like. Now she just had to wait for the girl and hope it was another slightly levelheaded spawn. She had a lot of those these days.

Tizzy had donned a pair of goggles, as well as her usual neat white coat today and looked particularly odd, standing in the sunlight, blue plasmay hair flying about over her head. A tall, slim figure of a woman, Tizzy tended to always appear either very intimidating or very cool, depending on who you asked. But always, always odd.

"Good day, you must be Bleez." the android greeted, holding out a hand to the sprinting girl. "Do you require a drink of water before you begin? You look like you've run a long way."

"Tired is not the issue, hydration is." Tizzy stated, her voice a cold monotone yet still perfectly friendly and open. She was neither reprimanding her student, nor trying to be mean to her - it was merely a statement of fact. "When you reach the point where you are desperately thirsty, you have let it go too far and your body will slowly break down the more physical activity you endure, the same with food. This is why you drink before you reach that point."

At that, she turned, walking over to a nearby cooler and bringing out a bottled water. "Drink before we begin just to be on the safe side. Should you have exerted yourself more than you think, you run the risk of losing the ability to move way up in the air - that is both dangerous and foolish."

At the question about the wall, the android nodded, "Yes. Learning to properly climb up a rock surface like this requires practice and skill, as well as conquering fears. While those may not be the greatest of problems, the other side - which is built more like a real mountain side than a fake rock climbing wall - will be used to test your more practical usage of that."

"Yes. There are ways to climb that will result in a person slipping off and dying, and ways to climb that will result in you being hurt. Both of which are the improper way." Tizzy explained, taking the bottle from Bleez's hands and walking over to toss it back into the cooler. She had a use for those later.

"The first side you will be wearing more protective gear and have more margin of error." the explaining continued as Tizzy returned and showed Bleez the harness for the rock wall.

"Very carefully." Tizzy stated blandly as she went over and helped Bleez into it so it wouldn't be too uncomfortable. Pinching and prodding weren't exactly a good thing when you were trying to keep safe while climbing. "Otherwise it'll be annoying to wear."

"Yep." Tizzy agreed. She walked over to the wall and carefully braced her feet against a few of the holds and used her hands to pull herself up on others. "Now you try. Remember, you need to be sure of your footing and your grip or you'll fall."

Tizzy nodded calmly. "Just climb down from this one and I'll help you out of your harness." the woman assured her. This side may have been easy, but the next side would prove much more difficult. Particularly with certain obstacles - the wall had been set up to have a slippery section to one side, where water trickled down, and more loose sections in other parts. Bleez would have to tread and think carefully to use it. "I will show you the real equipment used by climbers to get up a rockface."

With the harness off, Tizzy secured the much simpler climbing gear to Bleez and sent her over to the bigger wall. "You can just try to scale it by hand first, before using the gear to get a feel for it."

That was mostly a trick test, since the wall was intentionally made so it'd be too difficult for a spawn to just climb with their hands and feet. She was perfectly capable of catching Bleez should she fall, so it would be a demonstration on the dangers of rock climbing and why the safety equipment was necessary.
