001 ⚔ The first rule of Fight Club is INVITE EVERYONE

[severaty]

--ing working right yet? Gawds.

[Severa peers one eye far too close to the terminal camera before pulling away and- upon realizing that it's recording- makes a slight, frustrated noise before huffing out a 'finally!' and crossing her arms.]

Okay look, I'm not going to waste any time. Not everybody here is the touchy-feely type and frankly, it's a little obnoxious to try and make us be anyway. But a lot of us here don't mind a fight, right? And some kinds of fighting require a lot of touching- usually between fists and faces but hey. Occupational hazard, right?

[She shrugs, gnawing on her lip slightly. She's going to continue of course, but part of her is still afraid that her suggestion will seem stupid. But it's the best she's got and better to get out with it than just think it to death.]

So why not keep ourselves sharp and fill up on the touching quota by having a big sparring practice in the mornings or something? It's sure more productive than complaining about how you don't want to hug anyone, and it's good for getting frustration out.

Any takers?

[severaty]

You have a point there- and it's not like I haven't had to do it before...

[agelostdoll]

Can't be too hard, right?

[Asuka no don't say that]

[severaty]

Well, I wouldn't count anyone in this place out but... nah, I wouldn't think it would be.

[Oh no Severa, don't.]

[agelostdoll]

[Asuka pumps a fist into her palm]

Great! Let's do this!

[WHAT HAVE WE DONE]

[severaty]

[Severa nods sharply, pigtails giving a little bounce.]

Yeah! If nothing else, at least we tried, right?

[They have doomed themselves is what.]

[agelostdoll]

Exactly! There's the hospital nearby anyway!

[is anyone even going to show up after hearing these two...]

[severaty]

I'm not going to send anyone to the hospital. Not if I can help it, anyway. But you never know, rookies can make some really awful mistakes.

[no one with sense would...]

[agelostdoll]

I mean, it's common sense to stay in shape at least, right? They'll be fine...

[great, they can gather an army of the insane...]

[severaty]

I dunno about 'common sense' and applying it to most people...

[She's not even sure about applying it to some people she knows...]

[agelostdoll]

Well we'll just make it common sense!

[severaty]

Hah! If we can make it stick with people here, we can do it with anyone!

[agelostdoll]

Exactly!

So what kind of time did you have in mind? Found anywhere good?

[severaty]

Early in the morning is usually best for that kind of thing- especially in this heat, since it won't have time to get ridiculously hot outside.

As for where, I think a couple of people have ideas as to where though.

[agelostdoll]

...Good point, can't exactly teach them much if they're all flopping about like fish outta water.

[and then there's Asuka, who's just used to it. Her world had broken weather and climate patterns whatcanyado]

Hell, even an old warehouse would do. Any enclosed open space.

[severaty]

And I know for a fact there's at least one who thinks it's too hot as it is- you'd think most of them had never been to a desert before.

[Because Severa figures deserts, at least, must be universal.]

I guess you're right. We might have to do some fixing up in a case like that though.

[agelostdoll]

Probably haven't. You'd think the locals would want to dump us somewhere cold for the whole 'body heat' thing.

Wouldn't worry about the fixing up too much; could get the volunteers to do it. Strength building and stuff.

[severaty]

Maybe- can't say it wouldn't be more effective.

[Even if she'd just wind up hitting people for trying to use the 'body heat' excuse anyway.]

Oh, good idea. The less sweat off my brow over all this, the better.
