[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.]

[Zoro rolls his eyes, a smirk appearing on his face as he slows down to talk comfortably.]

Maybe you'll like to have me on top of you then.



mybadhabit: (Yes I am prepared)

[personal profile] mybadhabit 2016-08-08 12:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, Sonic was going to suggest he carry Zoro, but when you phrase it THAT way...]

[Sonic goes bright red, trips over his own feet, and falls gracefull to the ground in a heap]
wadoichimonji: (LOL)

[personal profile] wadoichimonji 2016-08-08 12:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[Zoro stops, stares at Sonic on the floor, blinks, stares a bit more, and breaks out laughing.

He laughs so much he ends up on the floor, kneeling, face red, tears on his eyes, and his arms around his stomach.]


What- the- hell- Speedy!

[He's laughing so much he can't see, and it takes him a while before he can calm down, a few chuckles coming out every other word.]

Are you ok?
mybadhabit: (Are we running towards Death?)

[personal profile] mybadhabit 2016-08-08 12:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[This is it. This is how he dies. He dies because a little bit of innuendo tripped him up and caused him to actually trip. Zoro probably didn't even mean for it sound that way. Did he?]

[And now Zoro was laughing at him, sob, this is not how he pictured his life ending. He was supposed to go out in a blaze of glory against a powerful opponent or something equally dramatic. Hell, even dying a cranky old hermit at a ripe old age would have been better than this death]


Shut up, it's not funny. [He grumbles, but Zoro's laughter is infectious and he's starting to giggle himself.]

[Goddamnit.]
wadoichimonji: (this shit's good)

[personal profile] wadoichimonji 2016-08-08 04:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Nah, not funny. Hilarious.

[He covers his mouth to hide his chuckle, watching as Sonic is giggling.]

You sound like a little boy, it's cute.

[That's not the way to compliment someone's laugh Zoro.]
mybadhabit: (That those were my eyes)

[personal profile] mybadhabit 2016-08-08 04:39 pm (UTC)(link)
It's your stupid fault! [He picks himself up just enough to punch Zoro's arm, then he slumps against him, covering his mouth (and his blush) with one hand, still giggling under his breath] If you had just said "maybe you should carry me," it would have been fine, but NO. You had to make it...

[he stumbles over his words a bit, his face going even redder. There was no way he was going to admit that he'd taken it sexually, potentially embarrassing himself further] ...open for interpretation!

[He's not going to comment on his laugh. He knows how he sounds, and it works to his advantage just as often as it doesn't. He doesn't need to sound, or even look, manly to be secure in his identity.]
wadoichimonji: (listening)

[personal profile] wadoichimonji 2016-08-09 10:11 am (UTC)(link)
In what any other way could you interpret me wanting to be on top of you?!

[He's just laughing again, trying so hard to stop, but also every time he opens his eye and looks at Sonic he laughs more. Maybe it's the face the other is making, or the way he looks, but something is making Zoro laugh, and he feels extremely happy.]
mybadhabit: (Yes I am prepared)

[personal profile] mybadhabit 2016-08-09 12:48 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sure you know what other way! [Sonic snaps, lifting his head to glower at Zoro, his face nearly beet red] I'm not about to say it in a room full of people!
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: (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]
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.
wadoichimonji: (well shit man)

[personal profile] wadoichimonji 2016-08-13 11:17 am (UTC)(link)
[Zoro stares for a bit, raising an eyebrow.]

Why would we stop fighting?

[He looks away then, blush covering even his ears, whispering.]

But I don't really know how to do, well, that.
mybadhabit: (They're right under my bed)

[personal profile] mybadhabit 2016-08-13 04:39 pm (UTC)(link)
People get weird about things when feelings get involved. [He scowls, shifting a little so that he's leaning more comfortably against Zoro] Especially if one person wants something the other person doesn't. If you don't- [he blushes, looking down] If you're not interested in me in that way - in any way! - it could make you uncomfortable to be around me.

This is why I don't like to form attachments, it makes everything so complicated.

[huff puff!]

[Then, what Zoro whispered filters through his head and he blushes even more]


Well, I don't have any experience with it either, so you don't have to worry about it if you don't want to!
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.
