[open] pump up the jam (a.k.a the fitness mingle post)

Who: Sheryl ([personal profile] galactically) and YOU!
What: Exercise classes (see the class schedule)
When: April 11th/13th/15th, from 3:30 to 5:30 PM
Where: Menrva's temple @ the ballroom
Warnings: Fanservice, possible violence, and Genos

Notes: Feel free to make your own top-levels! Threadhop to your heart's content. c:

[Sheryl doesn't attend classes too often nowadays due to her work schedule, but she always makes sure to be on time once the clock strikes three thirty — or at least be fashionably early. Even teachers like herself have to look her best, especially in simple but flattering gym clothes. Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday afternoon, the ballroom is open for all things fitness, and Sheryl plans to give her students one hell of a workout.

Don't let her vibrant smiles fool you; she turns into an enthusiastic yet merciless drill sergeant should you ever fall behind on your exercises. The microphone she carries around has a built-in cord that she uses as a whip — definitely not for show! A certain assistant will also be by her side, and he's just as tough if not more so.

To all slackers... abandon hope all ye who enter.]




Outside the Ballroom
[Nothing brings more prospective students together in one place than good ol' promotion, and Sheryl is not above using whatever is on her disposal to gain more members. She already made a BBS post announcing her classes, so now it's time for another tactic: food.

With a charming smile and a wink, she gestures at a small platter of turkey and cheese sandwiches on a nearby table right next to the sign-up sheet.]


Want to get in shape? Gain some extra muscle on your arms or legs? Build up stamina? Then you've come to the right place!

Exercises
[Congratulations, you're now part of the exercise class — whether you're only just stopping by for one session, visiting out of sheer curiosity, or who knows what else. There is plenty of sweating, stretching, fat burning, and muscle building to be done. Mats are on the floor for people to use, and various equipment such as exercise balls, dumbbells, jump ropes, and hula hoops can be seen. There's also a radio that Sheryl is using to turn up the volume so to speak.

So, what can a typical student expect from Sheryl's class?]

Yoga: A whole lot of stretching limbs, balancing acts, and dramatic poses. They start out as simple as lotus positions and cobra poses, but slowly progress into the intermediate positions such as downward-facing dog poses and tree poses. And then... the dreaded plow pose. At least there is music to relax to.

Pilates: Core strength training, breathing, and more stretching through special moves. Feel the burn as you stretch your limbs while squeezing your stomach at the same time!

Other Exercises: Sit-ups, push-ups, jumping jacks, playing with jump rope and hula hoops, etc.

Muscle Training: Want to be super buff? Grab some dumbbells and go to town! They are available from small (about five pounds) to large (about twenty).

Running: Enjoy your laps around the ballroom while catchy music plays in the background! Go race someone! Or you could be a turtle...

Break Time
[Sheryl may be stringent, but let it be said that she's capable of mercy. Everyone should get a break or two now and then, hence why there are healthy snacks and drinks on the table. She's actually taken the opportunity to make small bowls of pot-au-feu, which smells and looks incredibly edible... and some fruit bars, which look lumpy. Sheryl may excel in certain skills, but baking is not one of them — much to her chagrin, coming from a woman who's usually very confident.

Take this opportunity to socialize, eat some food, sneak out of the ballroom, fool around, hide in the corners, etc.]

[ That has him chuckle briefly, but in a good-mannered way. ]

I wouldn't expect anything less from you. [ Takes the pen and signs it with a flourish. His signature is his given name in romanji. ] Anything I should bring?

[His wrist might be straight but his whole body is suffering. At least he's not too prideful to look anguished about this, because he sure is.]

Am I going to burn? Is it preventable?
bighand: (k51)

[personal profile] bighand 2016-08-10 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
[Pain is good?? Now he's going to overdo it, watch out for this. But later, when he's not agonizing over five more curl-ups.]

If I must suffer the burn to gain strength... [He will. He will do five more. Or four and a half, before he gives up and lets his arm hang limply at his side.]

In the end, it was impossible.
wadoichimonji: (hehe ok)

[Zoro smirks at Sonic, listening to Genos and raising an eyebrow.]

Heard that, speedy? Get that pretty back of yours against my rippling muscles that absolutely get in my way.

[Too bad you didn't see Zoro doing the plow pose Sonic.]
wadoichimonji: (ok not funny)

[personal profile] wadoichimonji 2016-08-10 12:14 pm (UTC)(link)
No?

[Zoro just stares at him now, head tilted to the side, eyebrow raised.]

Seriously man, what are you talking about?
mybadhabit: (I have met him times before)

[personal profile] mybadhabit 2016-08-10 12:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[He was wrong before. THIS is how he dies.]

Sh-shut up, meathead! It's not like this is a complicated exercise, god!

[he flicks his bangs out of his face and moves to stand behind Zoro] So who's going first?
mybadhabit: (My body's broken)

[personal profile] mybadhabit 2016-08-10 12:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh god. He knew it. He knew Zoro didn't mean the innuendo, he's too big and stupid to notice something like that. That means...]

[...no, no, he does not have a crush on Zoro, that's ridiculous, he's repressing those thoughts right now.]

[He still owes Zoro an explanation, so he drops his head into his hands and murmurs "sex" as quietly as he can, trying not to die of embarrassment]

Whoever you want. I wasn't going to dictate every step. [ Genos just shrugs. He has a very small hope that maybe, maaybe it means Sonic isn't entirely confident in his skill with that exercise. But there's a nagging suspicion that it might be related to something else. Only what? ]

But if that's what you want, sure. You're first, Hermes.
wadoichimonji: (cutest smile ever)

[personal profile] wadoichimonji 2016-08-10 12:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh? So you'd be able to take me anywhere then, right?

[He chuckles. For some reason riling up Sheryl seems like a fun pastime.]

Ok... What's your favourite colour then?
wadoichimonji: (smug bastard)

[personal profile] wadoichimonji 2016-08-10 12:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[Zoro snorts, smirking the whole time, and he prepares himself to be lifted up by Sonic.]

Now you can show off to everyone here by lifting me.
wadoichimonji: (huh not blushing)

[personal profile] wadoichimonji 2016-08-10 01:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[Zoro is about to ask what Sonic means again when he hears the small whisper.]

How does what I said--

[He blushes, staring at Sonic for a second, before asking a very simple question]

Do you want on top of you?
mybadhabit: (Yeah the crown)

[personal profile] mybadhabit 2016-08-10 01:43 pm (UTC)(link)
I-I don't know? [He peers up at Zoro through his fingers, then quickly looks away again. The idea of experiencing Zoro's power that close is... well, more than a little thrilling, but.]

[But he's still certain he wants to fight more! Fighting has always been more important than foolish distractions like feelings and attachments]
M-maybe? But not if it means we never fight again.
mybadhabit: (We will surely make the covers)

[personal profile] mybadhabit 2016-08-10 01:55 pm (UTC)(link)
I've been showing off all day, it's not my fault if you weren't paying attention. [he huffs, but starts leaning forward. Sonic may not put his focus on strength training, but he's trained hard enough that carrying someone like Zoro is not that much of a burden]

Oh my gosh it's true, what ever would I do if you didn't pick on me? I'd die! I wouldn't be able to live! UGHHHH! [Sora teases back dramatically. When Sonic fluffs his hair he just sits there and allows it, going cross-eyed when he looks at Sonic's hand. When Sonic was done, he grabs Sonic's cheeks and squeezes.]

Rewind? So you go back in time?! That's so awesome! Is it like... [He starts making slow motion noises and trying to say stuff backwards.]
mybadhabit: (DANGEROUS)

[personal profile] mybadhabit 2016-08-10 05:13 pm (UTC)(link)
You should stop that before you hurt yourself. [he rolls his eyes at Sora's terrible attempt at making rewind noises, arching an eyebrow. He'd smirk, but it's a little hard to do with smushed cheeks] Besides, it's not like that at all. You know how in cartoons, how a hooked cane will come out and snatch a person off-stage if they're performing poorly?

It's like that.

[Okay, he's done having his cheeks squished now, time to retaliate. He flops to the side so that he's half sitting on Sora's lap, his hands darting out to tickle his ribs] Admit it, you'd be absolutely miserable if I didn't pick on you! You'd think I hated you! And you'd be so BORED without me to give you a hard time!

[Sora smiles right back!]

Oh! That sounds like a lot of fun! I want to try that!

[He looks around the ballroom, not sure if they could find anything the could use. Hmmm.]

Maybe we can get Elsa and Sheryl to set up a better course for that!

[Hey.

Hey Battler.

Check out this cutie with the bouncing blonde curls gracefully dancing across the floor with rhythmic gymnastics ribbons.]
