I don't think I've ever used a forum this big before, but I have something I'd like to ask, so here I go!

Is there anyone here who likes to work out?
Usually I get up early to get my exercise in, but I haven't really settled on a routine I'm satisfied with yet.
Going for a run in an unfamiliar place is fun, but it's also a little lonely lol

So I was thinking about putting together a circuit around the groves or the beach!
It'll be mostly endurance rather than strength training, I build muscle quickly and if I go back home with too much I'll get scolded...

Ah, right! And one more thing! I was taking a look at this place

[ insert a link to a dance studio in prismaplace! it looks glitzy and luxurious, with cutting edge tech to mimic various entertainment environments and conditions. thunderous 360° areas with all the bells and whistles, rainy outdoor lives, dive bars, bougie theaters - you name it, it's there. ]

Isn't it cool? I've just been practicing in the park lately, but with TRIGGER's activities picking up, I want to get serious about it.
Is there anyone else interested? It's such a big space that I thought it'd be fun to have more people go! I have sets I'd like to practice, but you'd be welcome to do whatever you'd like, of course. Or I can put together new choreography!
I can bring snacks and drinks, too.

[ ryuu's tireless den mom energy is showing, and he's okay with that. ]

Let me know what you think, if you'd like to try it out!
Thank you very much.

Even if I'm able to do the same types of things here that I would back home, it really is a whole different set of experiences, isn't it! Something like that...I think it'd be good to share.

Plus, it looks fun, doesn't it?

I'd be happy to! Something small like that from home brings a lot of comfort.

god sure hope this link works--

[She comes in and looks around, and makes a sound of approval at the set up. He really looks like he's in his element right there as well, just making the drinks like he was born to do this.

Just how talented is Ryuu?]

Thank you, Ryuu! [She can smell how fragrant it is from here, as she moves over to collect the cup after putting the cookies down on the countertop.]

It looks beautiful already--oh! Come, open the box.

[prizeneck]

fair enough
least you got out of there


eh
no need to say that you didn't know

[A beat. For a man who tries to place purpose on everything he does, dipping his toes in the water seems a little too pointless. That and his life doesn't exactly allow for many relaxing activities.

But still, water has saved his ass once. It soothes him, somehow.]

guess i could.

[thedarkbond]

well if you want to wish good luck for my business then you can °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°
we have a lot of stuff to do too
but in any case, the fancy stuff is a deal, then~

[schmisse]

The city isn't safe sometimes, either. But you can strengthen the magic that you get from your moonblessings. That's one way to defend yourself.

[huaisang]

You scared me there!

[sleepinglotus]

Evening would be alright then.

I don't think many people here have a situation similar to ours.

[For a lot of reasons.]

[torsion]

Well, Ryuu, my specific job within my organization is a special operations agent.
I tend to combat the physical the threats, but I also investigate situations and gauge what is going on. I tend to be more direct in my actions versus espionage although I'm capable of it.
To clarify, since I've had to before and it doesn't usually occur to me, in my world it's not weaponized viruses like in a sense of making people ill so much as intending to mutate them or setting out mutated creatures to attack an area, a building, or specific people.
Sometimes it's just to show what they're capable of, other times it runs deeper like a way to turn the tide in a civil war.
(It's a lot of information, so I think that's well enough in terms of information unless it's something you're deeply invested in, ha ha!)

Got the short stick there, huh?
Though it's interesting to know how different you are than your... "public persona," I guess?
If you ask nicely you might find yourself on the receiving end, by the way. :)

[ No kinkshaming, here. ]

I take it you don't have a ton of say in what you do?
Especially in a group, I imagine it probably gets voted on...
Hey, I'm always happy to listen and learn. Never know what you might be able to use.

Okay, okay, I'll cut you some slack.
Primarily, I fight with kicks. The majority of my strength is in my legs and thighs.

[kesi]

If your home realm is at peace, there is no need to know much of fighting. Those who make impact without doing harm to others are the perhaps the strongest of all.

[He wished he had that kind of talent. He hoped he would once he mastered this dance and went on to master many different styles.]

I would be happy to show you whenever you wish. ( ´ ▽ ` )

[gunshow]

That's a good idea. I barely use it intentionally, to be honest...having it at all isn't something I've gotten used to. Or I guess I haven't thought to practice with it yet.

[gunshow]

I'll look forward to it, then.

How so? If you don't mind me asking.

[gunshow]

I would call it peaceful, compared to some of the worlds I've heard people talk about here. Not perfect, or free of struggles, but peaceful enough as a whole.

Still, when I think about the fans who come to see us...whether they're tired, or having a tough time, what they gave up to spend their time with TRIGGER, I can't help but want to give it my all, no matter what. I wouldn't call a stage a battleground, but I'd hope anyone who watches us feels hope and comes away stronger for it.

That's my job.

So I think it'd be fun! To see where we meet in the middle.

[gunshow]

Sorry! I didn't mean to, honest! I mean, I'd still prefer not to throw you at all...maybe we can test it with something else?

[gunshow]

I'm used to freediving, so there are a lot of animals I would react the same to.
Bears can just be a part of that now, I suppose?

There's a pool on the roof of the building I live in.
But the shallows are pretty calm here at the beaches, too.

I love the water, so I wouldn't mind going.

[gunshow]

Oh! You own a business already? How nice! I'll definitely wish you good luck for that, then!
Yeah, I'm glad!
Once I see the venue, I'll let you know.

[gunshow]

You covered it well enough for me to understand, I think.
As much as someone like me can, anyway. Where I come from has such ordinary everyday things going on that even half of what you do for a living seems incredible, you know?
Not the terrible things you've seen, but the things you're capable of.
Does that sound right?

[ he gets that it might fall a little flat to praise such work when he's about as squishy and noncombatant as it gets, but, you know. he thinks it's deserving. ]

Having a really honed fighting style makes a lot of sense, now.
So maybe I will ask nicely, one day!

[ DENSE OR UNABLE TO BE SHAMED? ]

What our group did was mostly overseen by our agency and manager. That included our image!
Recently, we've gone indie, so we have a bit more freedom to choose what we want.
At first it was jarring to have to act in a way I didn't feel like suited me at all for the sake of entertainment...
But I felt like both sides had their place in what I love to do, so...

Here I am.

[strayknight]

He could pass for a movie star. Then he was nice to you or was he acting touch?

Yay~! We can look it over together!

[gunshow]

He was incredibly nice, though a little brazen lol
I wasn't used to an attitude like that yet.

We should come up with settings we'd like to perform in beforehand, so we know what we want to see!

[strayknight]

That sounds like it could be true. He was really nice to me at first but also refused somethings though he gave in to those too.

Oh right, what kind of setting do you want to see most?

[gunshow]

Is that so? What kinds? He's an honorable guy, at the end of the day.

I love outdoor lives!

[assembles]

Have you met other superheroes here?

[ At this point there are quite a few of them, so Steve wouldn't be surprised. ]

And yeah, I get it too. We were supposed to be a symbol of something good. A sign of hope, or at least protection. I never got completely used to all that attention, though.

[strayknight]

He might get mad if I say what he gave into.

Hmm they can be nice, the sun is hard for me. I like indoor ones in some locations and then spooky ones~

[gunshow]

Would he? [ HM ] That doesn't surprise me, with how stubborn he is!

[ yall are lucky ryuu is the village idiot ]

That's no problem! Have you ever held a live outside at night? It's amazing. The air feels electric.
I've never thought about a spooky live before!

[strayknight]

He might! He is pretty stubborn with some stuff.

We have done a few they were the best. I have lots of energy at night.
Halloween ones are fun.

[gunshow]

A few! And people who generally have powers. That caught me off guard a couple times.

It's an honorable thing in its own way, to not want the spotlight so much despite deserving the chance to stand in it.
