estoria | open; nothing fascinates humans more than the truth

Who: Karin Miyoshi and you!
When: 8/11 IC, 7/23 OOC
Where: CERES Gymnasium and CERES Game Center
What: Two prompts for the price of one! Karin decides that avoiding school (and therefore Togo and Yuna) is the best way to deal with Not Being Okay. Training at the gym and doing some ViVid seems like a good idea.
Rating/Warning: Nothing to warn for off the bat!

01. CERES Gymnasium

[ If you're a regular at the gym then Karin is probably a familiar sight by now. She's been coming at least once a day since she arrived here and it doesn't look like today's going to be any different from her usual routine. Boot up one of the treadmills and run far longer and at a far faster pace than you'd expect from a girl her size and age. Spend an hour or so swinging around her bokken then take a shower and head out. Sometimes that's the last you'll see of her and sometimes she's back again a few hours later. Either way, she's definitely a regular.

Things don't seem to be going as smoothly as usual, though. Karin's doing her usual jogging on one of the treadmill when something goes wrong. Either it just stops running or it jams. Whatever happens, it results in Karin shooting forward and smacking into the front of the machine with a painful sounding thunk.

Bright red, she peels herself off and tries to straighten up before looking around hastily. If she catches your gaze, she'll go even redder and splutter out - ]

Wh--what's so funny, huh?!

02. CERES Game Center

[ So. ViViD, huh.

Karin's only real exposure to the game so far has been the levels she'd had to work her way out of to get to the rest of the colony. She's really not all that interested in ViViD itself but... it might be a good distraction. Could eat up some time at least.

If you're passing her by while she's squinting at some big ViViD-centric poster, you might hear her mutter to herself - ]

So how's this even supposed to work, anyway...?

Threaded | Flat

[Ever since Mabel had started working on her new sweater store, all she wanted to do was just take a break! And what bette way to do that than to go over and play a few mindless video games?

However, when she saw a certain somebody was having trouble, she couldn't help but march right up!]

By going straight into the game! All you do is put on some headgear and boom! Instant video game land!

Huuuh... Let's see! It's totally not the cute girl who became a living slapstick cartoon. Definitely not.

[Hiro who was floating idly in the air had watched the whole thing and laughed a bit.]

You're not hurt, are you?

[She'll hear a voice behind her, as this shady old guy sidles up totally unannounced. Because approaching like a normal person is overrated, in his book.]

Ya go inside, pick what kinda game you wanna play, and the stuff in there will do the rest. Do a good job and ya can even win a bunch of credits and get prizes. Pretty neat, right?

[Rock Lee frowns as he watches her and quickly shakes his head.]

I- I find nothing to be funny, I swear!! Are you alright, Miss?!
