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!

Whips need precision.

{Of which Sasha had spades. He was such an exceptional partner sometimes she couldn't understand why he had been so insistent on her becoming his partner.}

[ferroustigmata]

Any fool make a whip crack against flesh. But it takes skill to make it a true weapon...and if you met a cohort of mine, you'd see that I'd fall in the foolish category.

[So much for almost sounding conceited.

As for why he insisted to be her partner...well, there aren't many women in this town that could make him cower in a bathtub just by saying his full name. Sure, he could have picked just any Weapon and would be able to use their form--but he wouldn't find this kind of Resonation with anyone else.]

[itaidakimasu]

Yeah. I know.

{Her wavelength pulses a little, like a giggle. She means well, of course.}

[ferroustigmata]

[And he knows that--sending some of his own pulses back at her.]

So...if you can find a training dummy that isn't being used, I can give you some beginning instructions.

[itaidakimasu]

On it.

{She searches around for a little, before finding an appropriate one free for the moment.}

Okay, ready whenever you are.

[ferroustigmata]

[About half an hour of thorough basic training, even Sasha--who is only the weapon now--is drained, though it's half because this training has now started to encroach on his nocturnal sleep schedule, and half because keeping one specific shape for an extended amount of time feels like staying in the same position for too long.]

You're a fast learner, Yako.

[...he telepathically cheers for a job well done. Had it been anyone else, he might have called it quits after half an hour, most definitely after an hour, but he knows Yako's tenacity could handle such a long training session with ease...and also knows that she'd be disappointed in him if he'd gone easy on her.]

I don't think I can keep this shape for much longer, though...

[itaidakimasu]

Okay, let's stop here for today, then.

{She isn't quite sure which end is up and which is down for him given the normal amorphous blob shape of his form, so she just extends her arm and trusts that he can figure out the rest; it came naturally enough to her, usually, so hopefully it would be the same for him.}

[ferroustigmata]

[By now it does, and he slips through her grip as he transforms back into his own body, breaking their resonance. Sasha rolls his shoulders stiffly then pulls his arms into a stretch. In a way, it's training him just as much as her.]

I think I'll head back home now. I'm pretty tired.

[itaidakimasu]

Okay. I'm just about done too; do you want to grab something to eat on the way back, or should I make something before you conk out for the day?

[ferroustigmata]

I'd rather have a homemade meal.

[You spoil him with your cooking, Yako. He's even started eating things that he used to not like all that much.]

[itaidakimasu]

Ah, that reminds me! I've been meaning to ask, but you made sure to eat well while back in your own world, right?

[ferroustigmata]

[Sasha rubs the back of his neck a little coyly.]

Well...I've been eating Mafuyu's cooking, so...

[So yes. Very well.]

[itaidakimasu]

Good. I'd be upset if I had to wean you back to a proper diet.

[ferroustigmata]

...It wouldn't inconvenience you. It wouldn't change how you prepare our meals.

[How they prepare their meals?]
