Natural Strength [Action/Open]

[gunbladegrrl]

[Maria hadn't done quite as well during the Tears Point mission as she might have liked. Aside from grossly underestimating the volume of monsters in a Lunar Cry, and getting turned into a dragon -- both of those completely understandable problems -- she hadn't turned in the combat performance she expected of herself. After some thinking and reflection, she'd concluded that a year of classes meant she'd neglected basic physical training for skill acquisition.]

[Time to change that.]

[So early mornings find her jogging around the outside of Garden, working up a sweat. Later mornings are her time for strength and endurance training, meaning she can be found lifting weights in volumes that would be weird anywhere but here in Garden. And afternoons are agility training, in the only real way she can think of -- going into the Training Center without weapons, and coming out with as few injuries as possible.]

[Care to talk to her at any point during this?]

[Namur's inside the Traning Center as well. Only the area of the training center he'd really like to use, he hasn't got the right piece of paper to get into. Which is why he's pestering everyone who comes in.]

Hey, you a full on SeeD?

[Mid-morning, just outside the entrance of Garden, a lone magazine flutters serenely into Maria's path.

It's followed, somewhat less serenely, by a flustered-looking young man sprinting after it with a small shopping bag in tow. He clearly isn't watching where he's going, and the bright red headphones over his ears suggest that he isn't paying much attention to anything else either.]

Dammit, come back...!

[curiouseyes]

[Kory is out for a walk in the morning enjoying the warmth of the sun on her skin. She was dressed as though she should be working out, but she wasn't. At least the moment. As she walked, she spotted Maria coming her way jogging. She waved]

Hello.

[lightspears]

Whoa!

[And have a Zelos, stepping back just in time to avoid a crash. How was he supposed to know Maria was jogging right around that corner?]

Speedy thing, huh...?

Hey! Wait a minute!
