[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.]

Technically, I do it all the time. [He arches an eyebrow right back, raising one knee and gesturing to his pants] It depends on how pedantic you want to be, but these are women's pants. In fact, a lot of my clothing I get from the women's section. It fits me better, and, let's face it, men's clothing is incredibly boring and limited. I prefer to prioritize looking good over sticking to inane gender rules.

And my hips look good because I do a thousand squats a day.

I'll wait as long as you want.

[ The tone is returned in equal part, though he's not as teasing. ]

[personal profile] heiring 2016-08-16 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
That sounds cool. We'd be careful not to fall into the water, though.

[ This is said with a slight chuckle - but there's a serious gleam in his eyes. ]

Do you know anyone who has magic that can move things around fast? If not, we'd have to do it manually.

[That's a really intimidating couple seconds before she answers him- he really thinks she might refuse!! But ah, the talented Miss Sheryl will teach him how to increase his strength without burning...]

I will arrive early, then!

[personal profile] clothes_make_the_man 2016-08-16 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
I certainly hope so. My talent with sewing is the one thing I'm absolutely confident in.

[personal profile] clothes_make_the_man 2016-08-16 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, good, you've met! Perhaps we'll attend class together in the future, then. But yes, she is very sweet.

[Zoro is trying really hard not to laugh at the two's exchange, but it becomes impossible. He's laughing, shaking all over, while his feet stay nicely planted on the floor.]

Want- Want me to lift my legs up?
wadoichimonji: (ok I'm tired)

[personal profile] wadoichimonji 2016-08-16 06:10 am (UTC)(link)
Aren't feelings involved in everything?

[Zoro sighs, petting Sonic's head, letting his hand linger for a second before putting it back down.]

I don't understand anything when it comes to... Attachments, I don't think. I feel like I had some built over the years but I can't remember them, so I wouldn't know what to do.

[This is the most he's said without stopping to think. Congrats Zoro.]

There might be something off with me because I don't... Think I care about stuff men my age should care? It's... Difficult.
wadoichimonji: (smug bastard)

[personal profile] wadoichimonji 2016-08-16 09:31 am (UTC)(link)
[Zoro blinks, surprised, before laughing.]

You're right. Can you say the same about foods?
clothes_make_the_man: (small blush smile)

[personal profile] clothes_make_the_man 2016-08-16 08:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I hope we can both learn a lot from you.

[He'll be there an hour before he's supposed to, waiting patiently, come hell or high water!! It'll be great.]

O-of course! I wouldn't dare disappoint you by being tardy... Should I bring Jae-Ha? I worry about his strength waning with all of the late nights he spends out.

[Just telling people this stuff about his buddy, that's fine, he won't mind.]

[Mizael blinks a little in surprise, since he didn't think he'd done anything particularly noteworthy...but he's not about to shy away from any praise either.]

Thank you. It was fun. [More than he'd been expecting, actually.] You were very easy to follow.

Move things around fast...?

[Sora thinks about this for a moment.]

Well there's Roxas and Sonic, they've both got god speed. [Don't let them race Reiji, Roxas' god power is super speed and Sonic is Hermes.]

I'd have to ask around though. But I can move stuff with a spell called magnet? Would that help?

[Magnet was a spell he had that dragged objects to him. He should be able to help set up heavy obstacles rather easily too.]
noli_oblivisci: (it'll work out)

[personal profile] noli_oblivisci 2016-08-17 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
[She nodded, digesting that. She didn't know how flexible she was but a little stretching made sense. It couldn't be that bad, she assumed?]

I see. Perfect timing, then. I'll try and keep up either way.

[As she entered, she glanced around the ballroom, blinking for a moment with surprise, before a sense of curiosity overtook her. It wasn't exactly what she had in mind for a 'gym' but...]

It...feels nice in her. Compared to others gyms, I mean.

[It was the sense she got. Maybe simply because of the ballroom itself or, unconsciously, if she had her memories, she'd recall alleyways, bricks, and concrete.]
noli_oblivisci: (cheer)

[personal profile] noli_oblivisci 2016-08-17 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
[She blinked again - twice - at 'beautiful girl'. And, like before, she promptly homed in on what else he said aside from that. Instead, she smiles a little and holds up her own drink and returned it with]

Okay then. We both deserve it, anyway.

[She assumed at least, as she took a long sip of her water.]
noli_oblivisci: (rationally speaking...)

[personal profile] noli_oblivisci 2016-08-17 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
[It might just be the basics but Psyche nods anyway. After a moment's thought]

What if I do want to get strong and faster?

[There was always room for improvement, if the battle against the ayakashi was an indicator.]

Like...what do you do? I mean, you don't seem to have worked up much of a sweat or anything during that run.

[ She nods to the second reply. As for the question... ]

Oh--I'm not sure what I could teach.

[personal profile] chainbroke 2016-08-17 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
I'll treat anything you make for me very carefully, then.

[personal profile] razzledazzles 2016-08-17 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
We do, we do!

[Jae-Ha laughs and stops just at the same time to take his own drink. There's a refreshed sigh afterwards, and he offers her a smile like all of his others.] In the end, I should be grateful. I was able to meet you, through this!

Of course! [He's going to skip the genetics explanation because he only got the gist from his very brief reading. Not enough to understand at all.] It's how I travel around the city, for one. It makes things much faster. The far shore, too, which has much more open spaces...

Wherever I can, I enjoy the feeling of the wind flowing around me!
noli_oblivisci: (cheer)

[personal profile] noli_oblivisci 2016-08-17 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I guess that's something.

[She gave a slightly looser, more genuine smile. This wasn't a wholly terrible outcome, at least.]

It's nice to meet you too, Jae-ha.
