[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.]

I'm not here long enough to judge. But the amount of cooperation ayakashi shown during that event did surprise me.

[ It might be more of a normal occurrence for all he knows. A month isn't much in comparison to those who were here for decades if not centuries ]

Anything, really!

[Sora is a very athletic kid. Give him any sport and he'll give it a shot and probably be pretty half decent at it.]

I like soccer and volleyball, and I know how to surf too if you count that as a sport? Oh and my best friend and I are thinking about trying kendo! I also take Archery lessons from Roxas! Oh, I mean Artemis! Not to mention the sword classes at Elsa's temple.

[personal profile] noli_oblivisci 2016-08-28 11:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Really?

[However, when she thought about it, ayakashi that wandered around usually didn't seem that big or powerful. She thought about it a while longer]

Though I guess that makes sense. Most ayakashi that wander around usually aren't that big...or wander around in that many groups I don't think? At least from what I've seen.

[In what little time she'd been there.]

They don't communicate, although I have heard that it's not that unusual for them to speak.

[ Genos didn't experience a talking ayakashi before so it was very surprising for him ]
noli_oblivisci: (unsure)

[personal profile] noli_oblivisci 2016-09-01 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe it's something animalistic? I mean, just because most of them don't communicate verbally doesn't mean they don't have some way of talking amongst themselves. Even if they don't exactly seem like they have heard mentality.

[Like ants. Or something. Either way...]

That's interesting to hear, though. The school incident's sort of been a loose end in my mind.

[Even if that was another thread to pull at.]

[ She doesn't need to say it out loud for him to understand. ]

Yeah. Given the situation, I feel like the people here need music. Music to cheer them up and uplift them.

[ He looks a bit more serious now, eyes focused briefly somewhere three inches to her left. They've fought, and to Reiji that's danger enough. ]

[ Reiji raises his eyebrows when surfing is mentioned. That's some kind of extreme sport, to him. ]

Whoa, that's a ton. You're really good! Kendo sounds useful for fighting, too.

[ He's painfully aware of how inept he is compared to everyone else. A shinki with no additional powers. ]

Could I spar with you sometime? My god's been teaching me how to use a sword, too.

[Ack! He's upset her! He waves his hands around.]

No! Really! I would! I don't have anything to wear...

[A suit isn't really conducive to exercise though.]

[Sitting up, Battler rubs at his face... and oh. That's... wow, cute.]

I... ihihi... I'm okay, promise!

[Being worried about by a cutie is the dream, though.]

[It’s true, it’s a whole ton. Sora has problems sitting still for very long…

At the mention of sparing, Sora lights up and beams at Reiji.]


Yeah for sure! I’ll be happy to! The more practice I can get in with a Japanese sword, the better!

[He likes Reiji, he is easy to talk to and really nice. And he can't complain about more sparing!]
idkmybffgon: (no way you're the pretty one)

[..ACK she knows Alluka. Killua tries to frown at her, but he's... still a little pink in the cheeks, so it just comes off very silly.]

She is! She's the most adorable girl ever. Hmph, I'm glad to know you have good tastes at least.

[Zoro chuckles, scratching the back of his head.]

Sorry, sorry.

[He then frowns, thinking.]

Why do they have to be special?
clothes_make_the_man: (eheheh)

[personal profile] clothes_make_the_man 2016-09-02 01:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[Definitely cute, with those bouncing curls and big adorable eyes.]

I'm sorry, here... Let me help you up.

[Forrest reaches out a soft and demure hand for him.]
scrap_metal: (what's next?)

[personal profile] scrap_metal 2016-09-02 05:50 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't think we learned exact details on what caused it. [ Genos can only agree, that ayakashi attack wasn't like the other, regular ones. But what can they do about it now. ]

Are you going to try another round? [ Of running ]
noli_oblivisci: (it'll work out)

[personal profile] noli_oblivisci 2016-09-03 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
No, we haven't... It does sound like more than a few are interested, though.

[At least she was. At his question though, she thinks on it, before shaking her head and unconsciously slowing to a cool down walk.]

I think I'm good, for now. I've got something to aim for next time, too. [With a small smile, she says, genuinely] Thanks for helping out, though. I don't think I would've noticed some of that on my own.
zenzendameda: (44)

[personal profile] zenzendameda 2016-09-03 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
I don't have any...!!

[He's never even thought of getting any! Ahhhh, she's still mad. He hangs his head and turns away.]

Okay, okay... I'll leave...

[He starts to slump away.]
idkmybffgon: (not dead!)

[personal profile] idkmybffgon 2016-09-03 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
[He gives her a disbelieving look at the first statement.

But he brightens up right away at the second.]


Huh?? Really?? Alluka's really weird about telling me what she likes! Do you think she'd like CDs and stuff then??
zenzendameda: (08)

[personal profile] zenzendameda 2016-09-03 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
[This is... this is too good to be true? He takes the hand (ah! it's so soft!) and gets to his feet with a hup, brushing himself off after he's standing again.]

Thanks! I dunno what happened, guess I just lost my balance, ihihihi...
