the moment to live and the moment to die

[lauren.]

Richard;
I breathed in deeply and decided just to begin lifting weights. It sometimes helped get things off my mind. I pulled my music out of my pocket and began.

Dawnielle;
I laughed at Elijah pouting as I continued with my target practice.

[leeeeeeeah]

HEY GUYSSSSSS
Sorry for not being on in like several hundred years but y'know, computer problems and stuff
But my brother is out most days so I can use his computer in peace yaaaaaaay~

Alec
She didn't move, so I stood up straight and went back to the training room. Teenagers were always the worst to train, since they always seemed to have that strange sense of false superiority. I figured that she would calm down and join us again soon enough and if she didn't come back she could wash the dishes at the end of dinner. "Elijah, get up off the floor," I said, kicking his side lightly enough as I went past him. Sitting down as soon as I'm gone. Pfft. I have half a mind to install laser cannons that fire at people when they detect them not practicing or at least doing something productive. Sadly the budget for the house apparently doesn't stretch that far. I personally thought we could afford it, it was just a case of getting rid of all the beds and buying sleeping bags instead. Which I think is a perfectly logical sacrifice.

Grace
Still running. And staring at her feet and stuff. She's totally not going to lose track of where she's going and run into Richard. Nope. Not at all. Not in a million trillion years.

Gukjgsdtujkkyxdymkkohaej both of mine are so disgruntled right now omg

Tess
I sat there for a few more minutes, dreading going back into that room. With that total jerk. Ugh. I got up, trying to remember my way back.

Elijah
I got up, grumbling about how much of a tyrant he was. "Can I puh-leeeeease go train in the other rooms?" I asked Alec. Training with people around was such a bother,

[lauren.]

Richard;
Still being macho man and lifting weights.

Dawnielle;
I smirked,"Can't handle the heat?"I asked Elijah.

[leeeeeeeah]

You know whenever I write Alec I literally sit here and think of ways to make his paragraph really long winded because I imagine he'd always be thinking about random shit because he hardly talks except to y'know insult people xD

Alec
"Nope. The whole point of this is to train and to be able to work as a team. In case you've forgotten it's you lot against the rest of the world," I said, rolling my eyes. Elijah always preferred to work alone but I had to stop letting him go off by himself once I realised his relationship with the rest of the group wasn't getting any better. The only other person I ever saw him with was Grace and even that was scarcely. They all needed to be able to work together at least enough to know how each other fought and to not be complete strangers. It would be best if they all learnt each other's strengths and weaknesses so they could find ways to compensate for each other. Next weeks training focused on that might be a good idea.

Grace
As I still focused on the rhythmic pounding of my feet on the floor, and I wasn't even looking up, it wasn't hard for me to lose where I was going. There were no lines to distinguish and running track in here, just the wide empty space around the rest of the training equipment, and all the flooring was the same. So I didn't even notice when I veered from the running track as such and started basically running in a random direction, which meant I actually ended up running into a solid wall of flesh. And it just so happened it was the scary guy who turned into the hulk when I pissed him off earlier. Great. I should probably just change my middle name to idiot and be done with it. I didn't know if he was going to completely blow up again or something, so I stayed on the floor where I had fell simply looking up at him and contemplating how fast I would be able to run out of the room if an angry hulk person was chasing after me.

[grey scale:]

Oh, Alec. Such a bitter shrew. xD

Elijah
I sighed and looked at Dawn, shrugging. "I'm water. I put out the heat."

Tess
I snuck into the training room again, looking around uncertainly. I really didn't know what to do here. I was totally lost.

[lauren.]

Poor Leah & Alec xD

Richard;
I couldn't hear anything considering I hadmy music blaring in my ears. I took one out and looked to see Grace on the floor in front of me. I knew she was running earlier so I wonder how she had gotten over here. I raised an eyebrow as I glanced over at the area Alec had claimed the track. "Can I help you?"I asked, holding a hand out to help her up.

Dawnielle;
I rolled my eyes as I put the gun up,"It's a saying moron,"I muttered as I ran my hand along some cool freaking swords.

[leeeeeeeah]

I love Alec, he allows me to let my bitter side run free~ xD I should play these kinds of characters more often.
OH HEY GUESS WHAT MY LAPTOP IS FIXED I HAVE IT BACK YESSSSSS
______

Alec
I didn't really feel like running or doing anything much to be honest, but I had to at least do something or the rest of them would whine about it being unfair since I was forcing them to train and stuff and I had to fight too so therefore I had to train despite me being far further ahead than any of them with training. However I was saved from having to run another set of laps by the appearance of Tess. It looked like she was trying to be sneaky when she entered so as not to be noticed or something, but apparently she hadn't learnt that I practically had eyes in the back of my head. She stood around doing nothing and looking slightly confused so I decided to go and put her out of her misery and help her. "Are you planning on doing anything or are you just going to stand there for the rest of the day?" I asked once I got near enough for her to hear me, standing with my arms folded and being generally intimidating as always.

Grace
I sat there for a few seconds, looking up at him with the stupidest expression on my face and wondering why he wasn't threatening me. Still, I regained my wits quickly enough and jumped up without the help of his hand for fear of him throwing me across the room once I took hold of it. I straightened myself out and realised how weird I must look since I'd been running on the track one minute and then had suddenly ended up on the floor in front of him. My sense of direction really is awful. "Sorry," I muttered. "I wasn't looking where I was going."

[grey scale:]

I'm eating a meat stick lmao
__________

Elijah
I chuckled and made a few small waterballs in my palms, rolling them around my fingertips. "I know that," I said quietly, glancing at her. She seemed to really like her weapons.

Tess
I looked at Alec and raised an eyebrow. "Are you going to make an acerbic remark every time I see you or do you eventually become more tolerable?" He really was ridiculously inept at socializing, even if he never seemed to be aiming for a blossoming social life.

[lauren.]

Who's meat stick Ronnie??? xD
-----------*
Richard;
"It's alright,"I said shrugging,"Though might actually wanna watch where you're running,"I said smirking a little and raising an eyebrow.

Dawnielle;
I glanced over at Elijah and rolled my eyes. When I was younger my father put me into martial art/karate classes so I could fend for myself. I guess all of it could come into handy now. I pursed my lip as I ran a finger down one of the blades.

[leeeeeeeah]

omfg laUREN

Alec
"I never become more tolerable," I said, shrugging. "Ask Elijah, he's been here long enough. Now answer my question. Are you going to do anything?" I said, gesturing behind me at the various exercises. Hopefully she was actually good at something like running or maybe using guns or stealth or just anything so she wouldn't be completely useless. She looked small, skinny and fragile looking so she was going to have to build up some muscle before she started doing much of anything, unless she was actually a shit ton stronger than she looked. "I suggest you start with some weight lifting or running or push ups. Something to build up your strength until you at least don't look like I could snap you in half."

Grace
I frowned. So he wasn't going to try and kill me. Was this guy bi-polar or something? I accidentally hit him with some fireballs and he goes crazy, throwing shit everywhere and trying to kill me. I crash into him and he practically laughs about it. Crazy fricken people. "I was watching my feet, but the floor is kind of the same," I shrugged. I looked at him for a few seconds, not really knowing what to do or say. "Um, sorry about the whole fireball thing before. I'm not really ... in control of them that much," I said, hoping that he wouldn't go into a massive rampage just talking about it.

[grey scale:]

Tess
I lifted my chin, slightly petulant. God, he was annoying. "I can run. In case you didn't notice, I was one of the first ones done with your ridiculous laps, and I'm not even in full form. And I'm not a twig, you can't just...just, snap me," I said irritably.

Elijah
I sighed boredly, shooting mini water torpedoes at the targets in front of me. I hated practicing around other people. I preferred for them to underestimate me.

[lauren.]

Richard;
I frowned as she mentioned that,"Yeah, you should work on that when I'm not in the room. Might be better. I usually don't know what happens after it's done. I remember how it started and ends but never what happens in between. So whatever happened, sorry,"I said rubbing the back of my neck. I just blackout and I don't know why.

Dawnielle;
I glanced around at everyone, wondering what we were going to do now. It was boring at the moment. I yawned as I threw the sword in the air, catching in once again.

[leeeeeeeah]

Alec
"I really don't think you'd like to make a bet on that," I said with a small smile, before returning to army general mode. "Just because you're fast doesn't mean you're strong. You're going to start with push-ups. Fifty of them. And then two laps around the track. And another fifty-push ups. And you're going to do that over and over and when fifty-push up and and two laps seems too easy I want you to up it to a hundred push-ups and five laps. You're also going to do extra training sessions on off days, weight lifting. You're way behind the others and you need to catch up," I said, nodding. "Off you go."

Grace
"No big deal," I said, shrugging again. "I mean you only tried to kill me by throwing huge heavy random shit across the room but hey, it's not like I've never had to deal with something like that before," I said, with the barest hint of sarcasm. This Richard guy wasn't all bad when he wasn't going completely psycho.

[grey scale:]

Tess
I raised an eyebrow at him. 'Off I go'? "Where the hell'd you spawn from, Mars? Tyrant," I said, rolling my eyes as I walked away from him, heading towards the track area. I wasn't going to tell him I ran before I came here, since I was apparently such a weakling that I was t able to do anything for myself and he probably wouldn't believe me. Because he's an ass. Ugh.

Elijah
I played with a few more waterfalls, floating then around the air in front of me and making mini cyclones, all of which were more cute than anything and probably wouldn't be able to injure a baby fly with broken wings. All of this was purposeful and done consciously, because I didn't want to mess up the arena. I knew Alec would make me clean up. What a wanker.
