001: Group Introductions - TEXT

[tarnishedavenger]

[During a lull in the party, Armstrong taps out a quick message to the network. Not that private one, he doesn't trust it. They can answer whenever they like, so long as he gets an answer. The trick would be wording it.]

So, we're all in this for now. You've had your welcome cake, but you can't meet everyone in a party, no matter how hard you try. But, since we've all been encouraged to sign up with Jorgmund, I figured now would be a good time to get some introductions done. Talk about any specialties we might have.

Share information that we feel comfortable sharing. This isn't to pressure anyone or to force out any dark secrets.

[Not where watchful eyes can see, at least.]

Besides, I prefer doing this to making a cute information sharing game.

So, please, make your own threads within this post to keep everything organized.

Oh.

What would you consider a heavy training session?

[71lines]

Oh, you know. Twenty mile run. Pile on more pull-ups and push-ups. More aerobics and obstacle courses. I haven't done anything as light as Planker's stuff since I was six years old.

[She pauses.]

Then again, my masters were a lot less... verbally abusive.

[ahtohollaback]

Well, for the record, the rest of us find the exercises more than sufficient!

They are very difficult and unpleasant. Extremely demoralizing. Reid Planker is doing a really, really great job of whipping us into shape.

[71lines]

Oh.

[Wow. That's. Almost sad. But she guesses people who aren't ninjas probably don't need to be in any real kind of shape...]

At least it's only two hours, then?

[ahtohollaback]

Which is more than enough, in case anyone is reading this and wants to know how I feel about Planker's class.

[somnioergosum]

You were running twenty miles when you were six? What the hell?

[71lines]

I said I was a ninja.

[...In another thread entirely.]

[somnioergosum]

But at six?

[You know what, never mind. He's not sure he wants to know more about Tenten's childhood.]

How far can you run now?

[71lines]

I mean, if I'm traveling and not exercising, I can just run all day. It's a pain, but sometimes you get jobs that are all the way across the continent.

[Ronan's about to call bullshit but for all he know, magic comes into play here.]

Guess all that training paid off. I'd still rather play in the woods as a kid but hey, whatever works for you.

[71lines]

[She's not crossing the land in a single day. Sometimes it takes a few weeks.]

Training can be fun!

[She does sound a little defensive about it, though. Was it really that weird?]

[somnioergosum]

Not at six.

[Ronan suddenly feels a lot more well adjusted.]
