--Meadow

Reno was here at promptly 0900 in the morning. Though he had actually gotten there earlier to prepare, he didn't mind if students were a bit late. That just gave him an excuse to give them extra work- mostly running around the meadow in lapse.

Oh, and this time he has some weights made out of lead he had made in the workshop. Better be prepared if you mess up!

--- Forest Island

Secretly, Reno darted around the island looking for berries. He had a nice bucketful already, yummy, delicious, juicy looking berries too. These were intended for some of Rusty and his finest wine, made with their revised still that was conveniently hidden somewhere near by. Wouldn't want one of the kids or someone else to stumble on it.

Whistling, Reno felt pretty good. The punch back at the Blind Date had done its job, giving everyone a good time, and it... gave him a strangely satisifed feeling. Their efforts were appreciated, you know? Who cares how long it took to make the stuff anymore. This was a sure ticket.

---Morgue

There was a reason why Reno had chosen this place. Nobody except the creeps came down here, not liking the reminder of death, even though in this place death was a joke. Chances are that people wouldn't be here to overhear what he was going to tell Tseng.

The chill from the freezer units had him rubbing his hands together, but he wasn't sure if that wasn't also partly nervousness. He had felt sure of himself and confident when Tseng wasn't here, like he knew exactly where to go and what to do, but now... he didn't know anymore. Tseng was the one person he actually did have to answer to here, his old loyalties flaring up, though months had weakened them slightly.

Shiva knew how Rusty was feeling, if Sparky himself was this antsy. Maybe he should go talk to him after this...

Either way, it was time.

---Cafeteria


He had started taking his meals regularly here again, after the food stock he and the others had built up ran out, though he still had some leftover nutribars hidden at the bottom of his closet.

That wasn't to say he trusted the food here at all, always opting to make something for himself instead of eating what was served. Usually it was a sandwich with the most innocuous ingredients he could find. This month's menu looked like something out of the Gi Tribe Family Dining arena, and he knew what kind of food those people had eaten.

His mood was somber during breakfast, quiet and not prone to talking. This was a trend ever since the ill fated plot of Ganondorf's. It had hit Reno pretty hard, sending him into that same laid back attitude he had acquired right after returning to Shinra. He was a man with many things on his mind, not a one nice.

Shion was early of course, he wouldn't dream of being late. He had thrown himself into training since returning from his dead world; but it wasn't in the desperate wild way he had after his punishment. He was actually making progress, it was a shift in attitude. If his world was gone, if this was truly all there was, this was his life for the foreseeable future then he had to make it work. He couldn't be a burden on Reno and the others, he had to be able to look after himself.

"They look painful..." He approached Reno with a small frown. "What are they?"
savedbyasong: (whaaa)

[personal profile] savedbyasong 2012-07-25 10:05 am (UTC)(link)
Shion knew that face, knew it and dreaded it. He pulled a face in return. He watched as Reno lifted the weights, suspecting that it would be harder than Reno made it look. Most things were.

"Thirty?" Shion went over and bent down to lift the weight. He pulled, gritting his teeth, and managed to lift it a couple of centimeters before his grasp failed and it clattered to the floor.
savedbyasong: (if you're sure...)

[personal profile] savedbyasong 2012-07-26 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Shion pulled a face, thirty? That was a lot, he could barely do twenty without collapsing in exhaustion. But Reno's disappointment stung and Shion wasn't about to complain. He didn't want Reno to be disappointed in him. Faced with the reality of his destroyed world, a horrific tower the only 'safe' place left in all of the universes he couldn't cope with disappointing his friends on top of that.

"Okay Reno..." He dropped down and gritted his teeth, his arms shaking after the third push up.

Well, one of said students was coming. Might as well come for practice for hand to hand and get better at it. He was good, but there were definitely people here who could probably give him a smack down.

Having risen early himself, Cross had arrived at 9 on the dot to see the red haired man setting up. "Need any help?" Cross called as drew closer.

Re: Meadow

[personal profile] hero_of_smiles 2012-07-25 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
So he didn't need to help? All right, he would just be doing stretches than for the time being. After all, that was routine. The muscles needed to be loosened, so during the work out he wouldn't have unbearable pain later.

Cross did notice that look the man was giving him and curiously looked back. The question, however, just made him shrug. "I usually get up this early to practice. I have to if I want to be able to do the stuff I want to during the day and night," the boy answered. "Why? Is it weird or something?"

Floor 25

It's ten minutes later that Tara comes racing up the stairs from the floor below. She's trying to run and chew a bagel at the same time, and it's clearly not going entirely well. But she stumbles to a stop on the floor in front of Reno, swallowing the last of her breakfast, and tries to stand up straight.

"S-Sorry I'm late. I, um...I-I guess it's been longer than I thought, since college."

Sorry for the wait! Busy week.

[personal profile] moontothetide 2012-07-31 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
"R-Right. Twenty sit ups..."

...wait, warm up? That throws her, for a second. After all, Tara's only experience with any sort of physical training up to this point is Buffy, and the Slayer never seems to need to warm up.

...in the end, she tries for a few quick yoga forms, and they seem to do the trick for getting her muscles to un-tense. From there, she grabs a few weights, manages to figure out that they're probably supposed to go onto her feet, and sets off for twenty sit ups.

She'll slow down markedly at eleven and struggle at fifteen, but will make it in the end.

Morgue

[personal profile] turkleader 2012-07-25 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
This wasn't the first time Tseng had been in a morgue. In fact, if he looked in fatalistic terms, this was a place he had spent most of his adult life in, making sure the dead really did stay dead. He'd never forgotten the way the cold seeped into your bones, like spending too much time outside in the cold during a stakeout without any gloves.

Things had been odd, since he'd arrived here. The whole situation was odd, really, but there were so many different people here that Tseng had not expected to see. One of the other Turks, Professor Hojo, Fuhito... Zack... two Renos... and while there were others he had just met, Tseng was finding that there really was not much to do, once you've explored as many of the floors as possible.

He didn't like not doing anything. It bothered him, leaving a feeling in the back of his mind that continued to make him look for something more to do. If they couldn't escape, then they could live better. He was used to giving his body and soul to causes; this would be no different. Once he arrived at the morgue, he put his hands into his pockets.

"Reno."
turkleader: (wait hold up)

[personal profile] turkleader 2012-07-25 05:38 am (UTC)(link)
How could he say no to a drink? Especially when one was so hard to come by, here. That, combined with the fact that Reno was definitely about to tell him something he didn't want to hear made it all the more appealing.

That said, he wasn't going to answer anything until he had a drink. Picking up the glass, he listened, smelling the alcohol and taking a sip. No use in drinking it all at once. It might not have been good, but it deserved to be savored. That plan went out the window as soon as Reno said he was a member of an evil organization.

"And you couldn't have thought to tell me this information sooner?" His voice was a chilly as the room they were in.

Forest Island

[personal profile] toy_souldier 2012-07-31 07:21 am (UTC)(link)
Vivi had discovered the berry bushes himself and was happily gobbling them, making the bush shake and the bent tip of his hat showing over the top of it, wobbling with his chewing and foraging.

[personal profile] toy_souldier 2012-07-31 08:15 am (UTC)(link)
Vivi yelped and jumped back as the bush rustled, landing on his rump and staring at it.

Cafeteria! Sob latest ever orz

[personal profile] attheclocktower 2012-08-10 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, Reno will soon find himself, when he's almost done cooking, being joined by a certain someone. She's running a little late this morning, but she wasn't going to miss breakfast. Not before training, especially since she liked going up with Reno beforehand.

She peers over at what he was cooking]


Looks good!

[Better than a lot of the cafeteria food of late... which wasn't exactly saying much but still.]
attheclocktower: (eep ♡ till it was a battle cry)

[personal profile] attheclocktower 2012-08-10 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
Sure!

[Seriously, she was not going to pass up an offer to skip the Tower's food this month.]

Should I get a plate or a bowl or...
