▍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. ]

Lightning is your name? Incredible!

I have extensive training in the art of taijutsu!

I just thought we could get to know each other first! Y'know, talk about our dreams, maybe learn the second letter of your name and-- [ Okay, he's killing the buzz. He doesn't want to kill the buzz! He wants to be the buzz!! ]

--I'm ready.



[ is he though? ]

[ Geez, this young woman does not only remember faces well, but she's already getting familiar with the area. She could have been a detective in another life. ]

Have you managed to learn anything else about CERES? It appears they've gone AWOL. The only thing that's running this place now are automated droids.
flaredo: (And there he goes failing again)

Before that-- [ As she widens her stance, cracking her knuckles. ] Am I really supposed to call you 'L'?

[hey, just saying what he sees. if she's as good at sparing as she is kicking then those compliments may keep right on coming.]

More than it probably look likes. [he knows that despite being tall and teenaged, he's still got more of a kid feel than adult.] I've got hands on combat experience, mostly with sword-like weapons and magic, but I can hold my own with hand-to-hand.
feytality: i guess if you look really closely there is a nose, maybe (WHO NEEDS A NOSE)

[It's her lot in life, surrounded by teenagers and cartoonish sidekicks. In this case, it's both.]

[Maya puffs her chest out as Lightning opens the door, quite proud that she'd cracked the mystery password that definitely existed all by herself. And she does also recognize this woman]


Hey! So you were the mystery person behind Fight Club, huh? I should've known! You seem like the butt-kicking type.

[ hawke just raises an eyebrow at that. it's been a while since she got hit with that outright paranoia one usually finds in kirkwall. everyone here is weirdly genuine and it actually kind of freaks hawke out.

haha she's probably a bad person since all her friends here are really gullible. oh well. ]


Conversation, actually. But if I should be trying to get something else out of you, please let me know. I wouldn't want my skills to go to waste!

[ she would make a joke about lightning being attractive then but she feels like that might end with a knife in the gut. hawke's gut, specifically. ]

Well, it is the ninja art of hand-to-hand combat! From what I gather, it seems to be similar to a number of different kinds of martial arts on other worlds!
flaredo: (Tell me more tell me more)

Yang. That's a pretty cool name, Lightning!

[ OK HE WASN'T THAT READY.

He manages to raise his sword up against hers, which surprises even him, but that's only because Lightning is obviously holding back. Still, when their blades clash, he's immediately forced to take a couple steps back and almost trips over a dumbbell. ]


H-hahaaa...

[riku gives a small shrug.]

Fire, ice, healing: all the usual stuff that falls under that umbrella. [there's a bunch of spells and bunch of variations. listing them all is not happening.] Usual where I'm from, anyway.

[there's an oddness in saying that last part. being so open about being from another world and not worrying about protecting the world order is gonna take a bit of time to get used to.]

[Ah... the fun patrol. She understands now]

There's fighting, and a secret entrance! That makes it a club, doesn't it?

You don't gotta be so serious, you know. Training can be fun, too, if you have the right attitude.

[ you're such a buzzkill, lightning. hawke just shrugs and fine, whatever. if that's what you want to do! ]

Other than most of what they say is a farce, they track most of our movements within the colony, their head of public relations is most likely insane, and they obviously view us as less than human, what would you like to know?
