Track 06 - Gonna Fly Now

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

[ Action ] Just the two of us, we can make it if we try

[ This kind of feels like Parkour, that thing that all the cool teens in Europe are doing. Except Souji is terrible at that. Souji can run fast, sure, but don't ask him to maintain balance. And jumping over benches or tumbling safely off of low rooftops or higher places of elevation? That's partner's thing.

But no guts, no glory. Souji is attempting to vault over a park bench. Yosuke did it was nothing, not even touching the bench with his hand or with an errant foot, so Souji takes a running start. He plants his hand on the top and vaults over, except he hits his foot and comes crashing down right on the park bench. ]

Ow.

[inababanchou]

[ Souji keeps going, finishing up the fifth set and moving onto the sixth. After a bit when Yosuke doesn't move anymore, Souji stops and sits down. His pecs are aching, but it is a sweet ache. ]

Ready for some pull-ups?

[princeofjunes]

[Yosuke rolls over onto his back, entire body feeling like jelly]

I hate you.

[It's the closest Souji's going to get to a 'yes' as Yosuke forces himself to sit up.]

[inababanchou]

[ Souji walks to one of the various trees that they've been all over already. He takes a small running jump and catches a lower thick branch and just hangs there, adjusting his grip and compensating that he's grabbing rough tree bark instead of actually wrapping his fingers around because the limb is way too thick. ]

...

This will do.

[ Never mind that the playground is maybe fifty yards away, and there are monkey bars there.............. ]

[princeofjunes]

[As he stands up, Yosuke looks at his leader grabbing a tree.

Then he looks over to the monkey bars.

Back to his leader.

The monkey bars.]

Yeah, have fun with the bark burn. I'll be over there, where the sane people work out.

[inababanchou]

[ Souji is just... hanging around. ]

This would be better for real situations. There won't be bars to pull yourself up on if you're rock climbing.

[ Because Mayfield has a ton of places where rock climbing is a necessity, right? Right? ]

[princeofjunes]

Well, I was going to rock climbing next Tuesday, right after my final exam from culinary school and my first ever bungee jump.

[Because if you've going for sarcasm, go all out!]

[inababanchou]

I didn't know they have a culinary school here.

[ Souji's sarcasm, is cryptic. Is he joking? Is he serious? The world may never know...... ]

[princeofjunes]

Oh yeah! It's right next to the giant cliffs for rock climbing. How have you never noticed, Partner? You're so dense sometimes.
