Kaiser-Franz-Josef Hütten, Tyrol, Austria [Monday, daytime]

[thatsweirdright]

Good morning Fandom High students, teachers, and assorted guests! Ready to hit the slopes? The answer had better be 'yes', because that's what was happening today whether you liked it or not. Once your lesson was done, of course, you were free to do as you wished, whether that was continue hurtling down a mountain at ridiculous speeds while strapped to long sticks, or go warm up with some delicious hot beverages.

"Well," Jason mused. "I got hit by a train once. I was unconscious for, like, an entire day after, but by the time I woke up I was fine. And, yeah. Roof jumping with most other humans is probably a bad idea."

Peridot nodded a little as she processed all of that.

"Okay, then I'll keep my roof jumping limited to just you," she decided. "And we'll just never ski again."

Best plan!

"Hey, it was going great up until I fell off the side of the mountain!" Jason protested.

Re: Beginners

"We both fell off the side of the mountain," Peridot pointed out. "And then you wound up damaged."

This was a big deal, okay?!

Re: Beginners

"Yeah, but I'll get better," Jason said with a shrug. It wasn't that big a deal, in his opinion. He'd been through worse, anyway.

Re: Beginners

"And you did break my fall so that I didn't get damaged," Peridot allowed, frowning thoughtfully before looking back up the mountainside that they just fell down. "I also lost a ski."

That would make going down a second time a little more difficult.

"We could probably get new ones from the lodge?" Jason suggested. "If we say we kinda had an accident- but leave off just how much of one?"

Re: Beginners

[era_two_triangle]

Peridot thought that one over for a few moments. And then she nodded.

"Perhaps you'll be able to talk me back into a pair of skis again. I can see some merit in the activity as a limited method of transportation, at least."

Very limited. And apparently occasionally lethal.

Re: Beginners

Jason wriggled his leg experimentally, wincing just a little as he did so. Not quite healed yet, apparently.

"I think we might have lost the actual trail at some point," he said. No, really?

Re: Beginners

[era_two_triangle]

Peridot made a little amused snorting sound, and then lifted her chin a bit.

"I know exactly where it is," she declared. And then she pointed back up the mountain face. "It'd be easy to find if we followed the mess we left on the way down."

Skis, broken shrubbery, divots in the snow...

Re: Beginners

[thatsweirdright]

"Point taken," Jason said with a snicker. "Give me a few minutes and I think I'll be good to go."

Re: Beginners

[era_two_triangle]

"When you're ready," Peridot replied. "I'm running out of things to build a splint with."

But she was smiling a little as she said that.

Stars, she was glad Jason was going to be okay.
