What, no, I didn’t know we had an obstacle course! N- Not that I, ah, think I could… do it… [ s- sports. ] For real…! Maki, that’s awesome. I wish I could have seen you kick its ass. If Hurricane and Talon made it, then I’m sure it was super special awesome.

It is kinda neat what think about it. We’re capable of so much, and if you train your body just right, then you can do pretty much anything.

[rollplayinghouse]

Right?

There's so much you can do, and yet there are a lot of things that take a very particular kind of skill...

[puzzlers]

I’m assuming you plan to go back to the obstacle course? If you do maybe I can come along. I know I won’t break any records or anything, but building strength and endurance is definitely a start. And maybe we can make it more interesting by coming up with a couple of challenges or something.

[rollplayinghouse]

I don't know that there are records to break, exactly. I timed myself, but they judged the winner based on flashiness rather than speed...

And I bet there's still a lot of other stuff you can do with it, yeah.

[puzzlers]

I could get hype you and you could see how well you can do it at double speed. I imagine that certain parts are easier, but the more coordinated stuff has to be difficult when you're trying to rush straight through.

I wonder if we could add targets to each section. I've been meaning to practice my throwing some more, and just standing in one spot and throwing them in another just isn't really helping me get any better.

[rollplayinghouse]

Part of the course was actually throwing baseballs at a target, though that was still just standing there... I ended up throwing some knives, too.

[puzzlers]

Yeah? I can do that no problem, but... oh! I actually have throwing cards.

[rollplayinghouse]

Throwing... cards?

[puzzlers]

[ he opens the deck box strapped to one of his belts and removes a metal kuriboh card, its edges razor sharp. ]

See. [ holds it out for her to get a better look. ] I'm pretty bad at fighting in general, since I don't really want to have to do it, but sometimes... well, they're really just to keep people away from me in the off chance they want to do me harm. [ or worse. ]

[rollplayinghouse]

Wanting to fight and being good at fighting don't have to have anything to do with each other.

[She just leaves that statement without follow-up and takes a look at the card.]

That's interesting. Throwing something like that accurately could be a bit of a challenge.

[puzzlers]

[ he makes a hum of acknowledgement. he's learning more for self defense... ]

I'm actually not half bad, but practice makes perfect.

[rollplayinghouse]

That's true. And now that I'm on Taisho I have to practice properly.

[puzzlers]

[ i'm assuming you meant zrael. ]

Let me know if you'd like to tackle the obstacle course. We can add a bit of that to it and practice pretty much everything.

[rollplayinghouse]

[actually there was supposed to be a "not" in there. not on Taisho, and therefore without Makes Perfect]

Sure, I'm up for it anytime.

[puzzlers]

[ makes sense! ]

I’m glad. I’m looking forward to it. [ smiles. ] I go to the gym each morning… a- at least when I can, but this is just going to be a lot more fun. [ more grueling too, at least in his opinion. ]

[rollplayinghouse]

We should still work out at the gym together sometime, too. I'm also there most days.

[puzzlers]

I'd like that. And if you'd ever like to go for a run I've actually mapped out a pretty nice route. Having a bike and super speed makes it pretty easy to explore, so I've taken a few quick tours.

[rollplayinghouse]

Sure. I don't usually try to run any particular route, but that could be nice...

[puzzlers]

We can even end it at the cafe if you'd like. Get something to eat or drink!

[rollplayinghouse]

It's better to eat some kind of protein after working out than sweets...

[...]

But if it's just a casual run, it should be fine.

[puzzlers]

H- Hahaha. Touché. But a fruit smoothie might be ok.

But we can make it casual the first couple of times to get used to the route and then go a bit harder with each subsequent run. [ he looks back at the movie, having forgotten it was playing at all. ]

[rollplayinghouse]

[She also just glances at the screen, not having been particularly invested herself.]

Sure. Though, it would have to be pretty hard to be a challenge for me.

[puzzlers]

I guess I'll have to think up ways to make it more of a challenge then.

[rollplayinghouse]

...I'll look forward to it.

[puzzlers]

...and we should get together again with King sometime too. Maybe do what we had talked about, and have a cooking and baking session. That'd be nice too.
