◎ Bout 1: Impromptu walkabout [action]

[arrival]

[...The TV world was very strange.

Akihiko found himself waking up on the forest floor, stripped of his normal clothes and garbed in ... white pants. Fortunately, his pants, red cape, and boots were nearby, and he found himself a bush to discreetly change in -- just in case Mitsuru or Aigis showed up somewhere close. Calling out for them was out of the question; they were on a mission after all, and he didn't want to cause a ruckus if he didn't have to.

There was a book beside him when he woke up, and he blearily looked it over before snapping it shut and concentrating on the odd feeling of pain and strange sounds around him. No time to read.

The fully-functional wings were a surprise. The talking animals were even more of a surprise. But they were easy enough to dismiss as parts of the TV world, and he pushed them to the back of his mind as he started to explore. Forest, forest, forest... Were those mountains in the distance?

It was like globetrotting all over again. Before heading out, he ripped up the white pants he had woken up in, using the shredded parts to bind the book to his side; unfortunately, his pockets weren't big enough for a book. He also wrapped up his knuckles, since his gloves were missing.

And off he went in search of Mitsuru, Aigis, and Labrys. Never mind that he had no idea what the latter looked like.]


[/arrival]


[For the entire week of September 9 through 15, a young man in odd clothes can be found traveling out in the forests and as far as the foothills due east of the village. He gets his water from the rivers and carries whatever food he comes across (such as apples and mikans) in a shredded white sack that once was a pair of pants. When he's not traveling, he does some shadowboxing in the occasional clearing while it's light out.

Nothing serious, though; he wasn't getting enough protein to repair his muscles if he did any serious training.

The most rigorous of his training he'll allow of himself happens late at night in the forest behind house 21. While he tries to avoid the TV world village and its inhabitants, he can't resist the temptation of an outdoor training space complete with training dummies. He uses his Persona to charge his punches with electricity, leaving marks on the some of the dummies before he heads off again.

He may even be caught napping in a tree once in awhile. Or listening to talking bears from a distance.]

[Their goals are not dissimilar, then. She doesn't say anything about needing to defend her dojo from that man, though.]

That is another reason to become stronger. [In other words, Sakura approves.]

...It is not. I carry the tire and ropes out to a different location each day. [While jogging, of course.]
theogre: (Pleased)

It would be more accurate to say I enjoy the running.

[There is one place Sakura would rather train than outside, but she won't bring up her dojo. Not yet.]

The cities...are too chaotic. Even in an open area, the energy is wrong.

Yes. The situation is undesirable, but the opportunities for training are many and both the village and forest are peaceful. Do you not feel the same way?
theogre: (Surprised)

[personal profile] theogre 2012-10-10 06:37 am (UTC)(link)
Dragons...there are dragons within the forest?
theogre: (Watchful)

[personal profile] theogre 2012-10-13 07:31 am (UTC)(link)
I see. Many thanks for the warning. I would not wish to trouble more of this area's wildlife than I already have.
theogre: (All the work!)

A dragon with excellent hearing...there are many strange things in Luceti. I will do my best not to anger another animal in this place.

[But. Hmm. They've been talking for a while. Sakura shifts her position.]

Please forgive my rudeness. My name is Sakura Oogami. It is an honor to meet you.
