This wasn't as easy as it looked...and it didn't look easy at all.  But even with all that in mind, Hakuro had learned the important tennants of that running-jumping-climbing urban sport known as parkour, and its rules applied to every surface and every structure.  The first thing is momentum.  You can seemingly defy gravity if you have the right speed applied in the right fashion, the force of your momentum pressing against the tilt of the world.  It only lasts a couple seconds, and then it's all down to you, but it [i]does[/i] work.  Velocity is a great force-multiplier in every situation, provided to don't do something that'll just get you hurt...and Hakuro spent time falling down alot before getting the hang of it.  Second thing: your grip can be maintained temporarily - i.e. long enough - on even a small outset.  Rock climbers do it, professional tree-climbers do it, and so too does this hold in parkour.  The skills are interchangeable.  It's just that one is meant for the urban setting and must be adapted accordingly.  Even still, Hakuro had been taught how to get up a [i]brick wall[/i], so a tree with many grooves in its bark wasn't going to be as challenging.  Finally, you need to be sure of yourself AND be consciously aware of your limits at all times...but Hakuro didn't really have that problem, considering he must've climbed EVERY TREE on his island, at home!

He was up that tree, enough so that people were starting to get a little concerned.  Nobody official, mind you.  In fact, Hakuro wasn't even aware of anybody really watching - Your focus is important, in some situation. - until someone decided to shout up at him from the base of the tree.  Seems he didn't want him up here for reasons of...  Ah, what do they say here in Endgland?  Oh right, Health and Safety.  Well, by the time [i]that[/i] call had been made, Hakuro had managed to pull himself up to a nice thick branch for sitting on and looked down at whoever was talking...which in this case was one of the local boys and a pair of girls that he...hadn't been around enough to know their names or anything.  Kind of sad, really.  He usually got on with people faster than this.  Certainly worked in Japan, and the Americans [i]loved[/i] him!  Well, mostly.  He had a feeling that the boy shouting at him wasn't going to be pleased with [i]this[/i] smiling magpie.  Even still, he called back down, still unaware that Laurence had been reading on the other side of the tree.

[color=39b54a]"Oh, hey there!  Good morning!  Why's it more a problem if I hit [i]someone?[/i]  [i]I'm[/i] someone!  Suppose I fall down and hit no one!  Then what?  I mean, I could just [i]not fall[/i], but what I'm trying to say is that I don't understand the position!"[/color]

We interrupt this episode of Persona: The Calling to present Hakuro Kuroda being a smartarse, followed by a clicking sound and a flash as his phone got whipped out suddenly and he took a picture, followed by him doing more of the same with his surroundings.  Granted, it was going to be on a phone camera's resolution, but it wasn't [i]bad[/i].  He'd have to review them later, and the people and sights contained therein.  Now, the only question was that...he was here, but didn't he have class soon?
