[Quiet night, right? Of course that means hi-jinx. If you look up, there is an A-T rider leaping off from the hospital room and zooming past your head, using the walls of the cabins as roads. And occasionally stopping on rooftops and scouting. Feel free to ask what's going on

*... cool.*

[rape_o_clock]

Am I disturbing something?

[its_the_mask]

Not at all -- I'd been wanting to see an A-T in action.

[rape_o_clock]

It's not quite the same as a regular AT, but the principles are similar enough.

[its_the_mask]

How do they differ?

[rape_o_clock]

As you can see, the ones I'm wearing are ball-types rather than the typical wheel-type.

[its_the_mask]

What's the advantage?

[rape_o_clock]

Full 360 degree motion with minimal energy wasted for turning the entire foot around.

[its_the_mask]

... nice.

[rape_o_clock]

There are some drawbacks to it though... decrease in speed and jump ability, but a well trained storm-rider could potentially make up for it.

It's more for the ensemble, really.

[its_the_mask]

Storm-rider? These are all-weather?

Ensemble?

[rape_o_clock]

It's just the given name for those who ride A-T's.

I prefer to wear A-T's constantly, though due to my profession, that makes it difficult. These are more designed for... casual wear.

[its_the_mask]

Right.

I wondered that you weren't wearing any safety equipment -- but then again, this is the first time I've seen anyone using their A-T.

[rape_o_clock]

Safety equipment are for those starting out.

[its_the_mask]

... I like this sport.

[rape_o_clock]

Oh?
