o21 ★ THIS CALLS FOR A TRAINING MONTAGE

[electrowhipit]

[ Jolt's been here quite a while, and he's realized he's gotten pretty lazy. Ironhide would have words for him if he knew he'd stopped training- words and maybe a good old-fashioned Ironhide-brand beating.

So Jolt is in his front yard- the driveway mostly- working with his whips. The exercises start out simple- he swings them around a bit, getting

[So, April has decided to come visit and see the garden and- what the hell is this?

So she'll be standing a safe distance away (she knows the dangers of electricity far too well) and watching in amazement as he does...whatever he's doing.]

IT'S THE EYE OF THE TIGER, IT'S THE THRILL OF THE FIGHT--

[electrowhipit]

[ It'll take him a bit to finish, since he doesn't notice her right away. ]

RISING UP TO THE CHALLENGE OF OUR RIVAL~

[evers_hacker]

[She's patient and this is rather fun to watch. Expect some fangirilish amazement and a few questions when he's done.]

[electrowhipit]

[ And he finally winds down- the electricity vanishes, and the whips retract into the sheathing devices strapped to his arms. He's out of breath, but grinning ]

Hey you.

[perfektsymmetry]

[Howdy neighbor! Crowe is leaving his house with a backpack as per usual, and he can't help but stop and stare at this display. Cooooooool.]

[electrowhipit]

[ His concentration is obviously on what he's doing, and he hasn't noticed you yet! ]

now with less HTML fail

[perfektsymmetry]

[Well he obviously does not want to interrupt, so he'll wait till you're done. Once you are, be treated to a round of applause.]

[electrowhipit]

[ When he does finish, the applause startles him ] Oh-! Uh, hi there.

HELLO SEXY! Can we set up a weekly training regimen like Olivier proposed a while back?

[wristsniper]

[Pfft. Stay back, you say? Screw that. Olivier still wants to learn how to beat those things. Therefore, she is creepily watching you, leaning on the fence.]

They're endlessly impressive.

THAT WOULD BE A GOOD THING YES

[electrowhipit]

[ adfsklhls that startles him, and the whips retract almost immediately ] How long have you been there?

YAY.

[wristsniper]

[Ohh, enjoy her creepy "EVERY STEP YOU TAKE" face.]

Long enough. I'm going to learn how to beat them, eventually.

[electrowhipit]

Yeah, well, don't think I'll go easy on you while you do.

[weaponsparked]

[And guess who just so happens to be making his way to see you, on a new pair of crutches! Care of that one blond kid whose name Sideswipe can never remember. He's moving slowly though, with care, and stops on the sidewalk to watch you do that.

For a long time.

Like a creeper.

It's been far too long since he saw Jolt do anything with his weapons, and he's more than content to simply watch him work.]

[electrowhipit]

[ And work he does, for a long while, completely unaware of his audience ]

[weaponsparked]

[All the while, he starts leaning more and more on your fence. He's still rather sore, but really doesn't want to stop watching Jolt.]

Damn.

[electrowhipit]

[ This body doesn't quite have the stamina of his other one, so it's time to wrap it up and try to catch his breath ]

[a_gentle_boy]

. . . I didn't know he could do that.

[This is mostly spoken to himself as he passes by. As has been the case for several weeks now, Lucas is playing with his yo-yo. The surprise is enough that he forgets to pull up on the string, causing it to bounce away towards Jolt.]

. . . .

[electrowhipit]

[ poor Jolt almost zaps the thing out of reflex before he notices Lucas there ]

Lose something?

[a_gentle_boy]

Um. Yes. Sorry . . .

[He retrieves the toy before returning to his position on the sidewalk.]

That was pretty cool.

[electrowhipit]

What is that thing anyway?

[ he retracts his whips and grins ] Yeah? Thank you.
