so now that every electronic device in our houses arent trying to kill us ive got a few questions

1) can we practice using our weapons anywhere? shooting at jellyfish is way harder than it looks and if we have to fight things (again....) id like to be prepared.

legal places only, please

2) are there places where we can hike or camp out? im okay with getting away from it all for a while

3) surefire ways to fall asleep after waking up in the middle of the night would be great.

thanks in advance!

1: In a city this large there are bound to be gyms or training facilities, but you might have to pay some sort of fee to use something like that.

Otherwise, my go to is usually an early morning trip to a nice, quiet strip of the beach, or the rooftop of my apartment building.

You mentioned shooting, so... do you use those "gun" weapons?

3: That depends? There are plenty of ways, but in my experience what works for one person might have the opposite effect on another.

1. solar flexus gym. we've got classes if you need training

2. you can travel a little outside the city without it getting too dangerous or too toxic

3. chloroform?

I didn't know you could fight, Yukari-chan! That's awesome! Hiking does sound pretty fun. Guess it's better to do it before it gets too cold, ne?

If you can't sleep, you can come over and I'll make herbal tea. I don't mind if you wake me up.

[It sounds like Yukari might be having nightmares. Orihime's worried, but doesn't want to poke at the possibility over a public network where anyone can see.]

Can't answer your other questions but for your last one, I know there's potions for that.

I prefer more natural methods myself, though.

[piercedyourheart]

1. really? nice. shouldnt need any training though. its more like shaking off the rust if anything.

2. nice. ill have to check out what routes are safe. thanks....

3. ....ykw nvm. cant believe you managed to go from helpful to creep in less than 5 seconds. congrats

[badluckblues]

haha didn't say i would be using it, but hey. next time i'll start out on creep just to give you a fair warning

anyway all the gym's shit is reinforced and there's a range out the back, so knock yourself out

2/2

[badluckblues]

oohh but not with the chloroform ig

[piercedyourheart]

1. a fee is totally okay with me. i have to pay one back at home anyway so it doesn't bother me all that much

and nope, not a gun. just a regular bow and arrow. while id love to practice on the roof, im pretty sure the neighbors wouldnt like targets all over the place. what kind of training do you do, if you don't mind me asking?

3. true but im really open to suggestions at this point. itd be nice to sleep through a night again

[piercedyourheart]

you almost saved yourself there

[badluckblues]

i tried

[piercedyourheart]

[ OOC: i think that's great! i'm on board. ]

ha yeah, a little bit orihime chan. and hiking is nice this time of year, too. all the leaves turning color at once are so pretty....

youd do that? i gotta warn you that sometimes it happens pretty late

[ nightmares of a sort. never anything as concrete as thinking you're being chased by a serial killer or you're repeating 9th grade all over again. but it's the sudden rush of adrenaline at midnight and the horrid sense of dread that the sky will turn a sickly green that makes yukari jerk awake at night. the past few weeks have been A Bad Time. ]

That's okay! We'll make a sleepover out of it. I'll make popcorn too, and we can pick out some movies ahead of time to keep on hand. Just in case!

[badluckblues]

wow, an award? for me? i didn't even prepare a speech

[piercedyourheart]

potions or whatever, ill take it

whats your method? counting sheep?

[piercedyourheart]

yep just for you
dont worry about a speech
we can just pretend you gave one and move on

[piercedyourheart]

aw thats sweet
thanks a lot, really
we have to go movie shopping whenever youre free

wait your apartment didnt get messed up by the jellyfish did it?

[badluckblues]

oh great. i always like to be rewarded for minimum effort

[leekspins]

A little! I wasn't there when it happened. I think my microwave went on a rampage and fought the rice cooker.

THERE WERE NO SURVIVORS.

But I've been saving my money so I didn't buy anything expensive yet. Good thing! I'll pick up a TV next time I go shopping.

[boobytraps]

I'm not sure how they're made here, but I'm sure someone else can point you in the right direction.

No, no counting sheep. I count something else, instead.

1) I mostly do my training at the beach. Not sure how well that's going to work for unless you bring your own targets though.

But it's definitely legal, I probably would've been yelled at if it wasn't by now with some of the stuff I do that's not just normal martial arts.

3) No idea on the surefire way of falling asleep after a nightmare, but if I ever figure that out I'll let you know. I need a way to make that happen myself.

[piercedyourheart]

yeah true. hopefully you can just grab space melatonin or something from mond mart

then what is it you count?

[piercedyourheart]

todays your lucky day
you barely scraped by as a just okay person
congrats

[badluckblues]

better than most days

i'll take it.

I feel you on the jellyfish. I was kind of surprised!

But as for the latter options, I hope you'll let me know. I'm really into camping! It's enjoyable to me :)
