Track 06 - Gonna Fly Now

[princeofjunes]

ACTION: The Park - Open

[It's a nice day in the park - the sun shining down, a breeze blowing through - it's the perfect day for Yosuke to work the stress out with a good friend. The entire park is his training area - trees to climb, benches to jump over and off of, and a thousand and one ways to test his speed and agility. Though there's no enemy

[ Have one (1) bored little girl actually... bothering to leave her house for once.

Yosuke might remember her. She's missing an arm, though: that's new.

Still, she might just be stopping to watch one or both of them training. If that's what they call it.

Either one or both can tag, idc. :|a ]

[princeofjunes]

[He's just finished doing a jumping spin off of a park bench when he looks over and catches sight of her.

He definitely remembers her with two arms, and it stops him in his tracks before he hurries over]

Hey, are you alright? What happened?

[darkevangel]

What a touching display of concern.

[ She says it in perfect deadpan. ]

Sights like this shouldn't be uncommon around this town, right?

[ ...If she's the only person who's lost an arm to the post office, she will be upset. ]

[princeofjunes]

Shut up, of course I'm going to be worried about someone losing an arm. Even you.

Why the hell would this be normal? Aside from that one time I've never seen people go around attacking each other and cutting off arms!

[Yep, he's never seen a post office victim before. Only heard of 'em]

[darkevangel]

Because this place has a twisted sense of humor.

[ Evangeline gives a shrug. She can do that with only one arm still. ]

So what are you doing out here? Parkour?

[ ....Subject Change no Jutsu. ]

[princeofjunes]

[He's not happy leaving that conversation hanging - it's her damn arm! She shouldn't be so casual about it! - but it's fairly clear she doesn't want to talk about it, so he lets it go with a sigh]

Yeah, more or less. I'm not great at it but it helps me keep myself in shape. Plus it's actually pretty fun.

[darkevangel]

Is it now?

[ She seems to ponder this training for a minute. Not for herself, mind you, but for her stupid (and now completely normal) student. ]

Though any training that can be considered "fun"......

[princeofjunes]

Well, it seems like it is. I'm not fat, right?

It almost doesn't even feel like training. Except for the times when I fall and face plant, maybe. Those aren't as fun.

[darkevangel]

I would hardly count general exercise as "training."

[princeofjunes]

Right... I forget, most people's exercises have them jumping off of trees and sparring their friends.

My mistake.

[darkevangel]

Mine generally involves fighting at full-power.

[princeofjunes]

Right... that's sort of not exercising anymore. It's just fighting. And don't take this the wrong way? But you don't strike me as much of a fighter.

[darkevangel]

It's training.

Well, not so much any more. After all, I'm far too strong to improve that way. There simply aren't any opponents near my level.

[princeofjunes]

You're joking, right? Or are you another one who looks weak and hell and can pull... I don't know, Zeus' Baseball Bat out of thin air?
