[ 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.

[And close to the entrance (because that is admittedly the best place to be when you're pretty new at this whole battle thing), there is a boy shooting at a Grat. He doesn't seem to have noticed you yet!

...........he also seems to be missing his target very often. Talk to him?]

[A touch startled by the shooting noise, Ryoji turns to look and notices the shooting. Not exactly one to want to get too close, Ryoji projects his voice to be heard over the shooting.]

Have you tried shooting closer to your target to start off with?

[fierybluebird]

Are you just in here to sight see?

[xiiicard.livejournal.com]

That and a little exploring, with any luck.

[fierybluebird]

Then I hope you're good at magic or martial arts because wild things like to jump out. [Marco of course, isn't carrying a weapon at all himself either.]

[xiiicard.livejournal.com]

Not really, no. I don't have any experience with magic to speak of and most of the martial arts I've seen come from movies or games. [He says it in such a frank and honest manner, it's a wonder if he's taking things seriously.]

[fierybluebird]

... Then I don't recommend exploring too deeply unless you've got a death-wish, eh. [Dead-pan.]

[xiiicard.livejournal.com]

Oh no. I rather like living, but I really do want to see how far in I can go. It all looks so very interesting.

[fierybluebird]

I hope you can run fast then.

[xiiicard.livejournal.com]

But I might miss out on something if I run past everything.

[fierybluebird]

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.

[ Really, Colette spends far too much time in the Training Centre. It's not that she enjoys fighting monsters a whole lot, it's just that there's this one quiet spot that's nice to sit in. Here and the library tend to be her two main haunts.

She is in fact on her way out as she spots Ryoji - a total stranger. Obviously, upon encountering a total stranger who looks like a fellow cadet, there's only one thing to do: Colette treats him to a wide smile and a wave.

The thought occurs to her that she could warn him about the big scary dinosaurs that occasionally lurked around this place, but the whole "can't talk" thing is a bit of a disadvantage there! ]

[fierybluebird]

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

[xiiicard.livejournal.com]

[Ryoji spots the head of blonde hair out of the corner of his eye and he turns to see Colette, giving her a smile and a wave back in return. Walking over, he greets her pleasantly.]

Hello there my sweet, little princess. What's your name?

[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.

[runaway-chosen.livejournal.com]

[ Oh, he seems nice! Colette opens her mouth to speak, but then closes it again, waving her arms about in what was supposed to be an apology but came across as more of a panicked flail. Sorry! Sorry!

She makes a gesture, wait just a moment please, before fishing out her notebook and scrawling on it as quickly as possible.

"Hello! I'm Colette!"

For an extra touch of happiness, she doodles a daisy before she offers Ryoji the pad. ]
