[ I ] Training Center: Action

[xiiicard.livejournal.com]

[Sometime the next day, while the sun is up.

So Ryoji's been at Garden for some time now. Certainly enough time for him to have explored most of the areas and familiarize himself with getting around. However, there's still one area that he's yet to check out. But not for long.

As Ryoji steps through the doors leading into the Training Center, he can't help but look around, letting everything imprint itself before he makes an opinion. So far though, he can't help but think it's a pretty nice place.

So now he's wandering around the Training Center, acting like he's on a casual stroll.

On, and it might be worth it to note that Ryoji is walking around the Training Center without a weapon.]

I gotta say, I'm impressed with everything I've seen of Garden.

You want to study monsters up close and personal without fighting them?

[xiiicard.livejournal.com]

Maybe they're just coming up to say 'hi.'

[fierybluebird]

[Deadpan stare. Deadpan stare.]

Yes. Because you smell tasty. Like food. Nom nom.

[xiiicard.livejournal.com]

[At this, Ryoji can't help but laugh.]

I wonder if I would make a tasty sandwich then. Maybe with a side of fries and a drink.

[fierybluebird]

Yup. Wash you down with a glass of fresh idiots. Ah the life of a monster.

[xiiicard.livejournal.com]

It sounds rather nice, if a little unhealthy for my well being.

[fierybluebird]

Mm-hm. I think they can stand to lose a meal, eh. So try not to become food.

[xiiicard.livejournal.com]

A little dieting never hurt anyone. Anyway, I'll certainly try not to end up as someone's meal.

I'm Ryoji Mochizuki by the way. You are?

[fierybluebird]

Marco. Nice to meet you kid.

[xiiicard.livejournal.com]

Nice to meet you too.

So what brings you to the Training Center? Aside from warning prospective sandwiches to be careful.

[fierybluebird]

Practicing. I wouldn't want to get out of shape after all.

[xiiicard.livejournal.com]

[A laugh after a quick glance at Marco.]

We wouldn't want anything like that to happen, would we?

But I can't help but feel rather small in comparison.

[fierybluebird]

Eh, you're not that small.

And I'm not that tall. I've still got nothing on Jozu or Pops. But even Akiela is half a foot taller than me.

[xiiicard.livejournal.com]

Maybe, but you're rather well built.

[A laugh that's a little self-depreciating, but not with any sort of real malice or ill-will]

You do have an advantage over me in the muscle category.

[fierybluebird]

Ah, thanks. I try to stay toned at least. I am a pirate after all.

[xiiicard.livejournal.com]

That's a career path I hadn't thought to consider. I assume you enjoy being one?

[fierybluebird]

I do. Best job in the world, eh. [Still says this very deadpan.]

[xiiicard.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, I don't think being a pirate is a viable career choice back in my world.

[fierybluebird]

Pity.

Guess you could always look at the specialties you'll still be able to use, eh?

[xiiicard.livejournal.com]

You mean from the classes offered here and applying them to something back home, right?

[fierybluebird]

Exactly, eh.

I can only think that Marco is the reason why monsters haven't attacked them yet

[xiiicard.livejournal.com]

I'll have to see how well I do in the combat classes first. Though I have a funny feeling that medicinal classes aren't going to be my best ones.

Would you want to attack a pent-up phoenix? XD

[fierybluebird]

Oh? Hard time with them in your world?

As a monster, no. After someone gives Ryoji a sword.... debatable :P

[xiiicard.livejournal.com]

Not...exactly.

[And here, Ryoji's normally cheerful face takes on an expression of quiet confusion and his hand comes up to rest on his chest as he slowly tries to figure out what he wants to say.]

I just...have this feeling that I'm not one that saves life.

fft XD

[fierybluebird]

[Nods his head.] All right, lots of people aren't, eh?
