"Hard-core" Training. [Open-to-all.]

[light_of_willpower]

Who: (Future) Trunks and whoever is interested! Open to all.
When: October 22nd.
Where: Open Grounds (and Sky) near Caireen's Temple.
What: An open area and invitation for some harder-training than is usually done during the intro-events.



Bishamon was always kind enough every month to open part of her temple and its grounds for new shinki and gods, and Trunks was grateful for that. But he was also pretty sure he, and a few others he could think of, would appreciate a training session or two that wasn't geared towards most of the new arrivals. (Not that there was anything wrong with new arrivals, or those who weren't as skilled as others. They all had to learn.) Fortunately, he also had an understanding Goddess, who had decent space around her temple-grounds, and who knew he'd take care of clean-up and everything else.

Especially since some of the platforms and structure's they'd used from the game of hide-and-seek were still placed around. Celestia'd been kind enough to help Trunks with forming clouds into various loops and shapes to provide some obstacles there too. Clearly marking the space closest to Caireen's temple as off-limits, just in case as well.

It still left them lots of open ground on the edge of the forest, the beach-area, and the sky. Perfect, as far as he was concerned. Word-of-mouth, mostly making sure to stop by and visit friends he knew would be interested (like Snow and Goten) the date he was planning this, and then just setting things up.

He didn't have animated straw-dummies, but then--most of the people he was expecting were far beyond straw-dummy level.]

"There we go!"

Celestia nudged the final cloud into place, completing her obstacle course in the sky, as she called out to let know Trunks it was done and ready for a challenge. "Care to give it a whirl?"

Piccolo didn't know what to expect when he arrived at the temple of Caireen. He only vaguely knew the occupants of the temple from brief training sessions and meetings while at Bishamon's temple when it was set up for everyone. Maybe a few other brief moments that were fleeting and irrelevant. Piccolo was not much for small-talk or 'hanging out' as so many others were. He didn't understand the concepts.

It was odd to someone like him, who understood the ideas behind many typical things that people did or knew about, but felt foreign trying to mimic or partake in such things. Still, there were a few things that he could grasp easily and one such thing was training to become stronger, better. He couldn't resist a good sparring session either.

So however the case he ended up at Caireen's temple when the time came. He stood for a moment by himself, arms crossed in his familiar stance, and gazed out at the makeshift training grounds. His eyes were narrowed and it was clear as day that he was judging the sight before him.

Whether his thoughts on it were good or bad, though, was a completely different story; his expression was too hard to read beyond the fact that he was most definitely judging it one way or the other.

[ Did Caster get an invitation? Maybe. But the weird clouds gathering over the area are what prompted his curiosity to visit ]

What the-?

[ Those are not natural formations at all. Nope. And is there someone hovering there, or what? Sure, Caster can jump pretty high - definitely impossibly high for a normal human. Which is how he gets to the top of the highest tree. But flying is, uh, outside his area of expertise ]

[Alex hadn't come for training, but she thought this would be a good opportunity to thank Trunk's for helping in the search for Temeraire. She hoped to do it properly and in person. The thing is, she didn't know how he looked liked.

Spotting someone up ahead, she approaches him.]

Excuse me...do you know where I can find Trunks?

[ When Chinatsu heard there was more training to be done out of the meeting hall, she was more than eager to check it out. It was supposedly more challenging too. ]

So do we just train with whoever here?

[ She asks the first person she spots. ]
