Morning Training Log

[awokentospring]

Characters: Everyone!
Location: Training Ground, Shibusen
Rating: PG-13 for violence of the training sort
Time: 6am to 9am
Description: Training takes place every morning in the park to prepare the guests of the city for the ongoing war. It's handwaved most days, but approximately once a month this gets played out in a log. This log takes place on July 18th, so EXPECT PLOT-RELATED EXTRAS THIS TIME AROUND!

As this is being held during the Meister/Weapon swap event, we expect quite a bit of training going on for all the characters finding themselves dancing to a different beat than usual. There is also a great deal of extra canon items/creatures/things that have been brought in by BREW that can potentially be played with during this time and for that we have a list for you all to peruse of objects/creatures/things that could be found in or around training. However, some things may have already been found/destroyed/moved since their first appearance when the plot began so that may need to be taken into consideration for a few things in the list. It should also be noted that the 19th is when the dinosaur swallows BREW, so no need to worry about that causing your characters to lose focus any more than what all of these things will do!

And of course, as always, feel free to make your own threads!

[ It actually takes Masako a little while before she notices that she's being watched. She's so much into her training that she only catches onto after a little while - but when she does, she immediately spins around to look at Sasha sitting up there. ]

.. Is something the matter?

[ferroustigmata]

[There's a long pause before he answers, as if he was trying to pretend that he wasn't aware that she was asking him a direct question. But...it's kind of inevitable, because she seems like the kind that wouldn't give up just because she wasn't answered.]

Nope. Should there be?

[huntressing]

You were watching. [ As if it wasn't obvious enough already, no need to state it, Masako.. but she is forward, if nothing else. ]

Wouldn't anyone ask the same if they were being watched? If anything, you could have done so with bad intentions.

[ferroustigmata]

Does it look like I have bad intentions?

There's a difference between being paranoid and being on guard...

[huntressing]

One should never assume that people have good intentions. It's a recipe for disaster. [ So in other words, being that paranoid is just how she lives, apparently. No wonder she doesn't have friends. ]

Or would you just assume that a stalker watching you like that would just be randomly doing it for no reason?

[ferroustigmata]

I have no intentions, good or bad. You're just more interesting to watch right now than anyone else within my visual range. A person who idly watches others while in the park is a far cry from a stalker.

[huntressing]

If it's no stalker, then it's just a waste of time.

[ Even though it's exactly what he's doing right now and he even said so.. but apparently she doesn't really seem to care it practically implies she's insulting him too. ]

And who would ever want to waste their time like that? No one, so it has to be someone with bad intentions.

[ferroustigmata]

[Sasha roles his eyes.]

For someone who is apparently the head of a powerful family, yours is full of stupid assumptions.

[Two can play the insult game, and Sasha's not afraid to take the direct route.]

I got out of work an hour and a half ago. I ate dinner, and now I'm here to relax before I go home and go to bed. And if you're the kind of person that thinks that relaxing is ever a waste of time, well... [He shrugs.] There's no helping you.

[huntressing]

[ At least the insult does seem to get a huff out of her, even if it's not more than that. Still, it's an acknowledgement of it that she might not always have allowed to slip out. ]

Forgive me that some people do have important business to do other than just sitting around watching people all day. We don't have time to waste.

[ferroustigmata]

Must be rough to have such a busy schedule that you can't even spare the time to have thick-headed conversations with people in trees.

[huntressing]

It's called taking a momentary break from training. If you continuously attempt to put effort into it, you will be more exhausted and less likely to be able to keep the training up for a long time. .. Ah, although maybe that's too hard to understand for some people.

[ferroustigmata]

[Sasha makes a strained noise before covering his mouth with a gloved hand. But it's futile--raucous laughter bursts forth despite his efforts.]

Святое дерьмо! You really are a genuine idiot!

[He takes a few gasping breaths to calm his laughter.]

Ah... [Sasha wipes a nonexistent tear from his eye.] ...You know, insults are far more effective if you use actual fact instead of flagrantly incorrect assumptions.

I'll tell you what, Masako, you spend your whole life being used as a pawn of war and maybe I'll take your opinions on training more seriously.

[huntressing]

[ She just stares when he starts laughing. Her sense of humor is completely absent as ever, but it's not just that, it's that she genuinely hardly gets it when someone laughs for whatever reason. Even if it's in this kind of situation, she's mostly just confused as to what's supposed to be so funny.

(At least she doesn't seem very fazed by the insult. Maybe since she's distracted by her own confusion.) ]

Aren't you the one who's assuming things about me now?

[ferroustigmata]

Am I wrong?

[huntressing]

In the end, we're all pawns of fate, family, war, or forces we can't help one way or another. Don't pretend you're the only one who's different.

[ferroustigmata]

I'm not. But I'm also not telling you how to run the affairs of some rich, high-standing family name, so I'd expect the same respect from you, not telling me how training for war should be done.

[huntressing]

[ .. At first she lets out a huff, then then she seems to calm down, crossing her arms in front of her chest. ]

If you don't want to take advice, then that is your own problem. I'm just saying I know very well what the right way in this world is to get by without being crushed even when you are being toyed around with by some other force.
