such a shame to ruin this bright, lazy sunny day
Simon had been interested in parkour for quite a while, but it had never gotten much more attention than the occasional marathon of youtube videos. After he had seen it in action from the man in the hood, Simon's interest had been piqued again.
He traveled to Xanadu to give it his first try. The nexus always made him feel safer, like he could do things here he couldn't otherwise. Deciding to start small, Simon walks to a car park. There are raised curbs in each of the parking slots. Along the side edges of the pavement there is a metal barrier raised one foot off the ground to separate it from the car parks on either side.
Taking a deep breath, Simon hops onto a curb and balances himself. He walks carefully down the curb, placing one foot in front of the other until the curb ends. Then he hops off the curb and walks to the next one, this time jumping with only one foot. He sticks the landing and after a wobble with both hands extending wide on either side of him, Simon steadies himself. A slow grin spreads across his face.
Ladies and gentlemen, behold the master of parkour.
