▍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. ]

gym!

['don't come unless you're capable of holding your own', huh? nice and self-sure there, anonymous, but color riku curious after receiving that mysterious text. a couple days have passed since arriving and he hasn't had much time to really train so why not?

upon arrival at the gym, it only takes a few moments to find the room, but knocking doesn't happen immediately. instead, he opts to observe the potential sender of the message first. not bad on the moves and not too suspicious of a sender. yeah, this could be fun. riku's version of knocking is firmly tapping at the door once. hey, at least he did knock instead of simply keyblading 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.

[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.

[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.]
