▍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. ]

Hate to disappoint, but this isn't my sort of scene.

[ He casually approaches her post, but stands on the side so he's not in the way of the other potential patrons. They're both on duty right now anyway, so he's not looking to waste too much of her time. ]

This is where they got you working?

Whatever earns the paycheck, right? [ There he is, lighting that cigarette again. He knows the law enforcement is weird here, just like pretty much anything else. The droids, for starters, don't share the same work ethic as the human officers. ]

This place seems to get busy around this time. Must mean you see a lot of different faces.

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?

[ 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.
