(open)

Date & Time: Early afternoon, January 7th.
Location: The Hold; training facilities.
Characters: Allen Walker ([personal profile] debtor) and YOU
Summary: Allen Walker levels up! Also another training facility log, if you feel like doing some training.
Warnings: PUNCHING INANIMATE OBJECTS and shounen. And training. And character death (the punching bag.)


[From opening until lunch (and oftentimes after lunch, sometimes until closing), six days a week (sometimes seven), some kid with white hair and a bizarre facial scar can be found in the Hold's gymnasium, kicking and punching various objects and performing series of acrobatic feats. Like many in Exsilium, he comes from a world where his training keeps him alive; here, it keeps him grounded. Gives him something to work towards and focus on, in a life that's become abruptly, and painfully, directionless.

For some time, he tried training in private with his weapon from home, but lately, he's begun splitting his attention between that and the weapon he'd received from the Initiative. A month ago, he'd picked the pair of armored gauntlets from the armory because they had appeared non-lethal, but they'd also appeared unwieldy. Which was fine, because he didn't think he'd really use them. But now that he is using them, he's finding they seem to somehow fit more comfortably with each passing day, and punches are thrown more easily.

Today, dressed in a black long sleeve shirt and sweatpants, with a leather glove over his left hand and a gauntlet on his right, he's focusing his attention on a punching bag, knocking it back with quick, powerful strikes. (For anyone who might notice these things, it's obvious that he's had a lot of practice, but it's also obvious that he hasn't had any actual formal training in any particular style of fighting. He's just kinda whaling on it.)

And then his right fist smacks into the bag and rips it right off its chains and sends it flying back into the opposite wall with a heavy, resounding crash. It bursts open upon impact, spilling its sandy innards all over the floor.]


Ah...

[Whoops.

Hopefully no one was standing in the way!]

--

[Or, alternately, you could run into him at any point during his training routine; or come by later and find a kid, possibly with sand in his hair and dusting his shirt, sitting cross-legged in the corner of the facilities, eating a sandwich and making a face at it. If you'd just like to chat.]

[That answer? Is so simple and ridiculous. There's no way it'd be that simple. Not a chance. He has the feeling if the Initiative wants to force them into something, they'll find a way]

[Yet the kid seems to think it's that simple, and he seems so sure. That it's just...]

[After staring for a moment perplexed, Zelos for the first time since coming here? Cracks up laughing at all of this. It wasn't even that funny, nor is it really a snide laugh- just you reach a certain point with stress and you can't help but find anything funny]
wilder: (whaaaat i'm innocent ttly)

[personal profile] wilder 2013-01-17 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
[He's still laughing, but calming down a little]

You are so weird.
wilder: (god who is he rinoa or something)

[personal profile] wilder 2013-01-17 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
[Yeah, well at least Zelos seems to be in better spirits now, for...whatever reason. Maybe it was a good stress relief]

Yeah, well whatever.

C'mon, the Initiative will be by and see the damage any time now. Let's make ourselves scarce and get some food.
wilder: (listen to the great zelos!)

[personal profile] wilder 2013-01-17 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
Cool! And no burgers- I've had enough of those already!
wilder: (groooan)

[personal profile] wilder 2013-01-17 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
[He moves to grab his cloak, his bag and tablet]

Sure, but whenever a girl wants to eat with me in this place it's always burgers and more burgers. It's a sandwich with charred beef, it's not that incredible.

What's Mexican?

wilder: (schemeing heh)

[personal profile] wilder 2013-01-18 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
Still not that incredible. [STOP GIVING THEM TO HIM]

Hm, sounds pretty good. How's it different here?
wilder: (who cares about details! (sheena))

[personal profile] wilder 2013-01-18 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
Well stuff does change over time.

That or they're just making do with whatever you can get out here.
wilder: (oh yeah?)

[personal profile] wilder 2013-01-18 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah? How many years has it been for you?
wilder: (see i thought the cop was a prostitute)

[personal profile] wilder 2013-01-18 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
[a whistle]

Damn. You'd be nothing but dust by now.
wilder: (derp you for real?)

[personal profile] wilder 2013-01-18 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
[Yeah a normal person would probably think of something to say that's comforting or something]

Hm. Freaky.

[Unfortunately, Zelos is not that sort. He starts walking towards the entrance of the training hall]

[Sissy.]

[Besides it's hardly rotting by now, all the flesh would've rotten off years ago goddess Allen don't you know anything]
