▍CERES GYMNASIUM, 3:00 PM
[ early that morning, a text is sent out. though it isn't encrypted, it has a sense of anonymity to it; as if the poster isn't necessarily trying to conceal their identity, but still skirt the line of going unnoticed. there are a spare, few impersonal lines on the screen. ]

Come to the CERES Gymnasium at 1500 hours if you'd like to train. There will be a locked movement room near the back. Knock.

Don't come if you aren't capable of holding your own.

[ lightning had been here for a few days, but honestly, she felt like all she had done so far was waste her time. she'd made no progress in finding out what was truly going on here, and certainly none on getting back home, so she wanted to seek out training partners for two reasons: the first was so she didn't get rusty for when she inevitably would have to fight, and the second was for more allies of convenience. people to exchange information with.

as lightning said, there is a room at the rear of the gymnasium with a large mirror against the back wall. lightning can be seen through the window, wearing long yoga pants and a plain t-shirt, doing some light kick exercises. knock? ]


▍NOVUS/REPLEA, 10:00 PM - 6:00 AM

[ later that night, lightning is at work. she'd actually found this job wasn't so bad; it kept her on her toes, and she heard many whispers of current on-goings while there. she did hate the uncomfortable, garish uniform though. it was a bit hard to move around in, not exactly ideal for the job she was assigned, but still doable.

feel free to bother her at the door, while she's on break and hanging around the bar area listening to patrons, or as dawn breaks and she's preparing to head home. ]

[ uh. uh. hawke just looks around a little and spreads her hands innocently in front of her. ]

Are you requesting I instigate some sort of scuffle?

[ i mean, she will but like. yeah. ]

If we're going by job titles, I shouldn't be doing anything other than hopping in place.

[ she even bounces on her toes a little. haha, get it. bouncer. bouncer. haha, hawke's so funny. ]

[Maya may or may not be capable of holding her own in a training. But that isn't going to stop her from showing up, anyway! Whoever this mysterious L is... they're in for, uh, something.]

[She goes the extra mile when she shows up and knocks three times, whispering loudly:]


The password is purple bananas!

[nailed it]

[hey 17 is not a kid!! ...just, not adult officially...

similarly to lightning, riku sizes up the host of this little training more closely now that they're face to face. definitely fit and knows how to deal a solid kick if the earlier show was anything to go by. the training ought to be worth it or at least better than training alone.]


Yeah. Couldn't just pass up a offer like that. [a beat] Judging by that warm-up, it isn't too bad an offer, either.

[He manages to pause just as the door opens! He smiles and gives her a thumbs up.]

Ah... I apologize!! I did not ask for yours either. [All he got was a dislike for birthdays.]

Allow me to introduce myself! I am Konoha's Beautiful Green Wild Beast... Rock Lee!

Iiii've got a sword?

[ He unsheathes Crocea Mors to show her. It's kind of done unceremoniously, though. Like it's nothing special and he knows it. ]

Oh-- I've also fired a gun like twice since coming here. I-It's okay, nobody died! [ Is that good or bad?? ]

Hand-to-hand, mostly! But I've fought people who use other weapons before.

[ WEAPONS LIKE ROCKET LAUNCHERS... ]

Well, this would be one of those times, if you don't mind.

[ He pulls up a HoloGM screen of a random npc person's face. It's a rather unremarkable face, and Lightning may have seen it or not, but he figures it's worth a shot anyway. ]

This one ring any bells?

[ you love it!! ]

Incredibly.

[ but you're still not giving her much so after an awkward few moments of silence, prepare for this TOTALLY ORIGINAL one liner, lightning!!

PREPARE FOR IT. ]


So... come here often?
