Catchalls are so hot right now

Who: Bai Lin and EVERYONE
What: Jogging, fighting, and FAST CARS
When: Will be listed in various prompts
Where: Around Keystone and the streets of Incendia
Warnings: Maybe a little bit of light violence?

-1: Every goddamn morning at like 6:30-

Lin is that most unholy type of creature: a morning person. If, for some reason, you're up at 6:30ish on any day of the week, you're likely to find Bai Lin jogging in loops around the various buildings that form Keystone Station, like some kind of goddamn health nut. She even looks like she's enjoying herself! Disgusting!

Or, also disgustingly early, she can sometimes be found in the woefully under equipped gym, pumping iron. Just because she's not fighting for her life every day anymore doesn't mean she can afford to get soft!

-2: Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday-

Fight Club, as it was unofficially called, occurred regularly on a field right by Keystone Station. At 10am, Lin taught anyone who wanted to be better able to defend themselves unarmed. She's a conservative teacher, though. Almost half of every lesson is devoted meditation and breathing exercises. She doesn't take any slack, though. Anyone who doesn't seem like they're taking her lessons seriously will get politely but firmly chastised, or even asked to leave for repeat offenders.

After a break for lunch, the more casual half of the club convenes in the same place for free sparring. If that's your cup of tea.

-3: The fast and bicurious (July 15)-

In a city full of clean magic powered cars, the roar of a gasoline engine is a bit unusual. And yet, that is what you hear today if you're out in Incendia today for exploring or a bit of light looting. You hear it first. Then a dirty black car drifts around the corner on squealing tires and at unsafe speeds before rocketing down the street past you.

A moment later, the car backs up to where you were and the window rolls down, revealing Lin at the wheel.

"I have NO idea what this is doing here but wanna go for a joyride?"
moarlazersplz: (Fight me at your peril!)

Ruto had heard the comments about Fight Club, and now she's finally turning up to take a look at it all and actually get herself involved. To get somewhat more in the spirit of the occasion, she's swapped into her Monk gear, the soul crystal slotted firmly in place. It's been a while since she's run with this gearset, and she makes sure that she's got a clear bit of space to stretch out in to get herself started, making sure that her muscles are loose and ready to go.

"I've learned quite a bit back home in Eorzea, but I'd love to see what I can learn here, too!" Her grin is bright and excited as she straightens up before her newest teacher, bouncing in place on her toes.
moarlazersplz: (Happy Cat is happy!)

"I've been fighting for a few years, yes! I'm part of the Pugilist's Guild back home, and I've trained with the Fists of Rhalgr- Ah, a Monk tradition that was almost lost." Ruto flexed her hand into a fist and showed the back of it, a glowing glyph appearing hovering over her fist - Rhalgr's emblem, though that probably meant nothing to this woman.

"I just like picking up what I can here and there. It tends to make me more unpredictable." Here she offered a toothy grin, one fang gleaming brightly.
nojohnyouare: Full-body shot in the hall. (i need to make it right)

[Mai looks over and quietly lifts one hand in a small wave.]

Are you learning too?
nojohnyouare: Turning around. (you can't choose what stays)

[personal profile] nojohnyouare 2018-08-12 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[nod] Heart was teaching me. While we were here last.
nojohnyouare: Talking. (what i've become)

[personal profile] nojohnyouare 2018-08-12 11:30 pm (UTC)(link)
They wouldn't? Heart said driving over the speed limit was fine.

"You started at this earlier than I did, then! I've only started learning about...five years ago? Something like that. But I pick new skills up pretty quickly. And I like to mix and match stuff, so I wouldn't say that I've really got a formal style under my belt..."

Oh right, manners. Ruto bowed quickly in return, hands loosely by her side for now, and then grinned at the offer.

"I'm Ruto Lhauske. And that sounds like fun!"
nojohnyouare: Preoccupied with eating. (but that's a conversation)

[personal profile] nojohnyouare 2018-08-13 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
...How does it work.

[this may be a bad idea]
nojohnyouare: Standing and holding her sword. (they're all around me)

[personal profile] nojohnyouare 2018-08-13 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
Okay. Probably useful to know.
nor_iron_bars: Enjoy such liberty (Default)

[Jail would know that sound anywhere. Her own hovertaxi moves smoothly through the streets as she searches for the source, grinning openly when she finds it. The next time Lin pulls to a stop, Jail pulls up in the lane besides her.]

[She rolls down the window and winks, revving the engine slightly in an unmistakable offer.]

[Are you in the mood to race, Lin?]
nojohnyouare: Happily eating. (to sing it to a crowd)

[personal profile] nojohnyouare 2018-08-13 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
[Mai gets in the car, buckles up, shuts the door, and checks out the interior of the car.]

So you drive a lot.
nor_iron_bars: And in my soul am free (No that ain't your style)

[personal profile] nor_iron_bars 2018-08-13 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
[Jail shrugs and gestures to the nonmoving tires.]

Kinda can't, it doesn't do that anymore.

[Sorry not sorry.]

But I can set it to stay at an inch above the ground for the whole race, if that works?
nojohnyouare: Standing and holding her sword. (they're all around me)

[personal profile] nojohnyouare 2018-08-13 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
Mm. A lot of our things appear. Like Bear-san. He even came with his charging cable.
nojohnyouare: Talking. (what i've become)

[personal profile] nojohnyouare 2018-08-13 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
Mm. From a simulation. He was made to be like a real bear-san. I found him eating our garbage. He had no mother. So I fed him and took him home.

Driving?
