▸ just a little more to the next floor

[complementing]

Characters: OU!Minako Arisato; OPEN
Setting: Floor 38 (Lounge); Floor 10 (Aquarium); Floor 6 (Forest)
Format: Either or.
Summary: Minako's wandering, getting used to the Tower. Training will happen in the forest.
Warnings: None really. Will probably stay PG13.

FLOOR 38 || LOUNGE
[Minako collapses face-down into a beanbag after she enters the floor, the volleyball in her hand set down beside her. She had just finished a little bit of exploring and, well...]

Ughhh, I can't believe that out of forty-one floors in this tower, there isn't a single gym that I can practice in.

[She lets out a long-suffering sigh.]

I guess I could go to the forest and just. Jog around or train or something.

FLOOR 10 || AQUARIUM
[Distractions are...distracting. Floor 6 is her ultimate goal, as the forest on floor 32 is apparently a no-powers zone, which would not be helpful for training. But this aquarium she comes across along the way is fascinating. Beautiful. Calming.

Minako slowly walks the winding pathways, letting her fingers lightly graze the free-standing water every once in a while. There is some sort of allure about this place that makes her think she'll be back to visit again. It's just her and the fish here, and sometimes she needs her alone time.

She starts humming.]

FLOOR 6 || FOREST
[It was a little weird, carrying her naginata around during the day when she's so used to working behind the scenes, under the cover of the night. But the Tower gives her that 'luxury' now. And most people here didn't bat an eye at it anyways. So now she's at the forest, and she's training vigorously.

First she works through physical trials, summoning various Personae to throw targets that she can deflect, reflect, or dodge. Then comes the precision and accuracy tests-- she works on her sync up with each Persona, trying to get reacquainted with each of them as she tests how well they understand each other, and how well they respond to her commands.

After a short break, she's back in action, practicing aerial strikes. Might want to be careful that you don't catch her off guard.]

no worries ♥

[complementing]

[She glances up and smiles a little.]

Oh, I know. I just don't want to disturb anyone in those places. I mean, the cathedral and the meadow are probably the quietest, safest places to hang out in the whole tower.

Re: no worries ♥

[capax_infiniti]

The peace of such places is in the eye of the beholder. I have encountered more than my share of those using the meadow for training, and I do recall a rather substantial brawl in the cathedral... [never mind that he was involved in that particular brawl]

Of course, your adherence to the perceived sanctity of such places is appreciated, I'm sure.

[complementing]

[A laugh.]

Okay, I guess I couldn't have expected it to stay completely quiet and safe, what with the different people we have here, but it probably wouldn't help to add to it. Thanks either way though!

Oh, I'm Minako Arisato, nice to meet you!

[capax_infiniti]

I hope you find something that will please you, then. There are a few new areas that may prove themselves to be useful. The forest also could provide a suitable obstacle level.

A pleasure to meet you, Miss Arisato. [Makes a slight bow]

[complementing]

Oh yeah, I was planning on going there after this! I still wish I had a place to play volleyball though.

...oh, you don't have to bow... [She gives him an embarrassed smile.]

[capax_infiniti]

What do you require for volleyball? A ball, one would presume, but what else?

[complementing]

I already have the volleyball! The only other two things I'd need is the net and a level ground to play on.

[capax_infiniti]

The meadow may be flat enough for that. If nothing else, perhaps, something resembling a net could be rigged up on the fifteenth floor.

[complementing]

Yeah, I'll definitely try to get something put together. Otherwise I might go crazy.

[capax_infiniti]

I highly doubt you'd be the first. But I do wish you luck in your endeavour.

[complementing]

Thanks! What kind of hobbies are you interested in, mister?

[capax_infiniti]

I'm not terribly exciting. I enjoy history and the fundamentals of the universe, and developing arcane interactions.

[complementing]

Whoa, the fundamentals of the universe? Is it interesting?

[capax_infiniti]

Oh, I find it fascinating.

[complementing]

Which part of it?

[capax_infiniti]

All of it. I'm not picky.

[complementing]

Oh. Huh. Are you a professor then? I mean, that sounds like something a professor would read into!

[capax_infiniti]

Perhaps one could say that. I have had an apprentice, prior...

[complementing]

Oh really? So you really are a professor, then! That's kinda cool.

[capax_infiniti]

If it's easier to consider me so, then yes. A professor of universal physics and philosophy, as well as a historian and arcane scholar. It sounds rather impressive when I put it together like that.

[complementing]

Well, if you ever decide to teach a lesson, maybe I'll sit in on your class.

[capax_infiniti]

While I have no such formal plans, I have little qualms about sharing what I know with those who may be interested. However, I leave it up to them to come when they desire such knowledge.

[complementing]

So you're the drop-by-anytime type of professor?

[capax_infiniti]

We'll go with that, yes.

[complementing]

Okay, good to know. Nice meeting you, Professor!
