two. ● training center

[busies.livejournal.com]

[After studying for ungodly amounts of hours, Ken finally decided to take a break from the books and go out and do something. One thing led to another and Ken found himself in the Training Center where he met up with a T-Rexaur or the T-Rexaur met up with him... Either way, he's battling it now.

It doesn't appear that he needs any help but feel free to barge in and aid him if you feel like it. ...or, you now, you can watch the kid own the dino.]

Not bad.

{ooc; here's a very short clip of how he fights. You can watch this one too, but it's very spoiler-rific. 2:10 to 5:00 is pretty much all you need to see;;}

"Usually? Burning off any restlessness is accomplished by studying more."

[That's been her standby for the last few weeks, especially with exams looming as a constant threat. And those ever present dreams as well, which have been affecting her more then she'd like to admit.]

"But...An occasional walk can be nice, as well."

[Thus explaining why she's here, although not quite excusing the dinosaur fight.

Yes, she is actually showing a hint of concern for her junior classman. As is evident with what she says next.]

"You're alright, after all that? No injuries or the like?"

[busies.livejournal.com]

I see.

[He nods to what she's been saying. Apparently even the great Mitsuru Kirijo goes out on walks after lots of studying, but to study on top of the feelings of restlessness was something he'd have to learn.]

And I'm alright. My back got hurt but I used a healing spell, so it should be okay.

[Completely down the injury for the sake of hopefully not having her worry about him. It was mostly healed anyway and any bruising and what not could be healed with time and ointments.]

[willnotsubmit.livejournal.com]

[If she had any choice in the matter, the great Mitsuru Kirijo would prefer going on a motorcycle ride after studying. A shame the Garden doesn't supply those...Although with how much sleep she's been skimping on, it might be for the best that she doesn't have access to anything fast.]

"And...No difficulties with your Persona, either?"

[She's not quite sure what she wants the answer to be, whether summoning is coming easily to the others, if they're also having difficulties. Artemisia has continued to be difficult, almost as if the Persona has been experiencing growing pains since arriving at Balamb Garden.]

[busies.livejournal.com]

None, Kala-Nemi came out just fine.

[To say that there were no difficulties would be a lie. Casting spells seemed to be no different than they were back home, however to use the spell without direct need of his Persona was definitely odd and took time to get used to. Then of course, all important matter of his head reeling after calling forth his Persona.]

...but it was a lot bigger than I remembered and I'm tired from summoning it. I don't think I could call Kala-Nemi as many times as I'd want.

"If you're feeling fatigued, then you should rest. There's no immediate threat that we have to fight now...Save perhaps for exams. So, it isn't necessary to push yourself."

[She frowns over the rest of that information, considering each piece of it.]

"...Similar to myself, then. I'm still not fully sure on how the rules governing the Persona have changed, although I'm still working on researching it. The Garden library, at least, is quite helpful in that regard. As well as the classes offered here."

[busies.livejournal.com]

I understand.

[Ugh. Exams. Ken's been studying for those for the past week and didn't really need to hear about them right now. It was his first break in a good long while.]

Yeah. I really don't understand these "Guardian Forces" fully, but do you think that our Persona that are now GFs will deteriorate our memories? I mean, technically they're ourselves.

[willnotsubmit.livejournal.com]

"That...Remains to be seen. But I hope not; the very idea that they would deteriorate...It shouldn't be in the nature of a Persona to try and attack it's users mind."

[In theory, at least. There have been several glaring exceptions in Iwatodai that they've encountered...And saying that out loud isn't making Artemisia any more cooperative.]

[busies.livejournal.com]

I hope so too.

[It was depressing to think about if his Persona would rob him of his memories, so he set it aside and hoped for the better.]

So, what are you doing here, miss Kirijo? Did you come here for a walk?

[willnotsubmit.livejournal.com]

"Just a moment to stretch out, and look at something other then paper...Or the wall of my study space."

[She shakes her head after saying that, trying to clear it. If she's being frank with herself if no one else her mind is feeling too scattered for her liking.]

"Although...I don't think I require a large beast and fight to clear my thoughts. At least not just yet."

[busies.livejournal.com]

Oh.

[If she wanted was a walk then why the Training Center exactly? Walking around the Garden itself should have worked too...aah, Ken wasn't going to question her.]

So then, are you on your way back?

[willnotsubmit.livejournal.com]

[Because...Some decisions are honestly better made when one hasn't been neglecting sleep in favor of books and notes. She'll be thankful there isn't any further questioning delving into that.]

"I am. I think that's a long enough break, between reviewing one class and the next. I still need to..."

[She swallows a yawn.]

"...Still need to review the geography on the Galbadian continent, if I expect to score decently on the World Geography exam."

[busies.livejournal.com]

[Ken can't help but snicker at Mitsuru's yawn. It was the first time he'd seen her like this]

I'm sure you'll do just fine, miss Kirijo. I bet you'll know it better than the people here.
