Training Day; Aoba Shibumenosaki Underground Academy

[menaretrash]

[ A great Wrong™ has been done to Ann Takamaki, via one Seto Kaiba. A wrong in the form of a race that had clearly been in the bag, and a winged giraffe that had been lobbed in her direction towards the end via a Pokeball that she'd literally slammed into, thus forcing her to lose this most auspicious race. She's not even mad, because looking back on it, yes, it was hilarious, and in the big scheme of things, despite losing the race, she's pretty sure that she came out the winner at the end of the day, thanks to a certain bet.

Either way, she's been promised a rematch at some point, and she wants to be fully prepared. And with the appearance of gym equipment recently, along with the presence of a booming thunderstorm outside, what better time to get in a little exercise and training? Ann can be found running almost non stop at the fastest speed that she can get it to go, and when she's not on the treadmill trying to hit mach speed, she's lifting weights. Because at the end of the day, she refuses to lose this rematch, giraffes or not. ]

Whew... [ She laughs and uses the back of her right hand to wipe at her forehead. ] I'm really glad we have this place! Working out outside is great, but having a place to really focus is even better, don't you think?

[Who is this Iwaizumi spies running at positively manic speeds on the treadmill while thunder rolls in the distance? It could only be Ann Takamaki, his favorite volleyball partner (in this universe), and probably one of the only people Iwaizumi would actually call a friend in the Void. A satisfied smirk comes over his face as he watches her train - for what, he doesn’t know (it’s probably not the volleyball league, but he can dream). It matters not! He is always here to support any kind of athletic endeavor (especially for a partner and soon-to-be teammate).]

You’re telling me. And you can thank me for this place while you’re at it.

The Void brings stuff together from our memories, right? This gym’s from mine.

[Funny how someone can sound proud and sad all at once, but the smile on his face covers the somewhat wistful tone well.]

I’m sure of it.

[menaretrash]

[ She's glad that she's not quite as clumsy as Ren, Mr. Run-at-mach-speeds-and-trip-and-fall-down-on-the-treadmill. Mostly, she's just grateful that there are treadmills and gym equipment period -- even if the location is such a strange one. Honestly, this particular location keeps getting weirder and weirder... a mix of the underground mall from home, a school, and now.... Iwa's gym. ]

Okay, I will. Thank you~! Ah, yeah, it does! The mall portion is from mine, though I'm sad t say it's filled with uniforms and crap from someone else's school that's... been shoved in here, too.

[ She can hear his tone, and it prompts her to launch an 'attack' of sorts, grinning as she tosses her arms around the poor man in a hug. ]

But you are to thank for this, so, thank you very much~

[bluecastleace]

[Iwa starts at the attack as if it were a real one, body going stiff while his hands shoot up like he’s about to fend someone off. It’s just a hug though, and after a few seconds he’s left laughing a little, though it’s...an uncomfortable sound. Did he let that wistfulness show through more than he meant to?]

H-hey, what’re you getting all goopy for? I said to thank me, but you don’t have to go that far.

[menaretrash]

[ Poor, dear Iwa. Don't worry, she's not in the business of entirely attacking you with the intent of bodily harm! Not this time, at least. This attack is an attack of affection, fortunately for him! She laughs as well, before she backs off enough to stand at his side and leave one arm draped over his shoulders. ]

You're the goopy one~ Besides, everyone deserves hugs, and what better way to thank a friend than with a hug, huh?

[bluecastleace]

[Iwaizumi laughs again, sounding a bit more comfortable this time as he rolls his eyes a bit.]

How am I the goopy one? I was half kidding about thanking me anyway.

[He turns to give her a playful grin.]

You’re welcome though. It ain’t exactly like the gym from home, but. [He shrugs.] Still pretty bad ass.

[menaretrash]

[ There it is; that sounds a little better! ]

Because you are! You deserve all the thanks for bringing us this kick ass gym that we were lacking before!

[ And really, treadmills are so much more convenient than running on the shitty terrain outside. ]

It's great! I think it's something we all really needed, and I'll get it's gonna get a TON of use.

[bluecastleace]

With the practices I’ve got planned for you guys, you better believe it. [Now he looks excited. That volleyball league he and Ren have been putting together is just about to get out of the planning stages, and honestly, Iwaizumi is thrilled about it.] You ready for some real competition?

That’s what I’m hoping for at least.

[menaretrash]

Sure am. I can't wait!

[ Because what could be better than hitting volleyballs as hard as she can at Akechi and his team?! ]

[bluecastleace]

[Iwaizumi has met Akechi, and frankly he cannot agree more.]

They’re gonna be in over their heads with you on my team. You’re like a secret weapon with all the practices we’ve been doing.

[menaretrash]

[ Just wait, Iwaizumi. Akechi gets a lot better! ]

That's sweet of you~ I sure hope so, at least... aha, at least I won't be a total embarrassment to you!

[bluecastleace]

Not a total embarrassment.

[He hopes the grin conveys well enough that he’s teasing.]

I think you’re a force to be reckoned with.

[menaretrash]

A... slight embarrassment, then!

[ She gets it, and it makes her laugh brightly. ]

Thanks! I hope so!

We can wrap up here if you want!

[bluecastleace]

You are, don’t worry.

[He nods back toward the treadmill.]

Won’t hurt to get our stamina up, eh? Let’s keep going.
