A Beginners Attempt at Free Runing- Late Night
Topic Started: Jul 12 2012, 11:48 PM (634 Views)

It was Night, 11 PM or so and everyone with an inch of sanity was either at work, at home or on their way to one of the prior. THe night was cold, the stars were shining and at Taiyoutono High School, a jackass was just about to practice Free Running.


Dressed to Jog and to Compete the local third-year transfer student Layle was standing atop a two story classroom building without any security equipment. Hanging out a couple of dozen feet above the ground with only a lantern and flash light in hand, he bore the monicker of a madman. A man who didn't value his life and was willing to waste it for something stupid. For Layle... this was something alot more personal than that, and his resolve showed in his beady eyes. Alternatively it could have been a cold, since... it was 11 PM and he wasn't wearing a thick jacket.

Sliding on his Flashlight unto his forehead (It was the strap-on type that sorta resembled something a Miner would use if he was Hipster), he pulled his head back and brushed his hair back. Pressing his fingers against his skull while he spoke outloud to himself "Brain, I'm still waiting for you to make this feel boring. It's only been... you know... a month since I started doing this. Oh and you know, the five months I spent memorizing and adapting myself to the layout of the school. Anytime you're comfy to make me not feel like a jackass for this I'd appretiate it."

Giving his head a firm knocking, he took a few more steps back and set his eyes on the road of obstacles ahead of him. Thick Trees, the Furnace Room, the Gym, the Classrooms and finally the track. Scattered around and secured, the path ahead remained a nonlinear one but one with perks. But being one to always seek out knowledge and skill Israel simply couldn't turn down the challenge.

Prepared for the worst and marked by the Not-So-Worst, Israel dashed ahead and leaped towards a nearby tree. Courageously taking the leap of fate as he reached out towards a thick branded branch for salvation. Succesfully taking the first of many challenges, and one of the few he had actually mastered. The night would be long...

A soulless groan wafted through the air as Takashi woke from the sleep of gods. He stared at his watch blankly as his brain kicked back into gear. He had a hangover. Had to teach. Had an off-period. Fell asleep. And now it was the dead of the fucking night.

Another groan rumbled from his chest as he scraped himself off the moonlit teacher-lounge table and went to get himself a glass of water from the water cooler. He grabbed his suitcase and flung his suit jacket across a shoulder. Now was as good a time as any to vacate the premises.

Then he saw the beam of a flashlight. That wasn't fucking sketchy at all. The man ran out to see some idiot running around the school. Who the fuck? A student? A robber? A robber student? Either way, it seemed like he has an ass to kick.

"Who the fuck is out there?!"

Flashing across the school buildings like an Acrobat in Training Layle exhorted his body to its limits, and defied the laws of what was meant to be. Climbing was what never meant to be climbed, and jumping what was never meant to be jumped he defied this binary ruling at the cost of his stamina (and some scrapes). Focused only on exhorting his body to its limits in order to expand them, he continued to practice his Free Running routine without a care for whatever else lied in the school. A practice that had now stabbed him in the back like a Jagged Knife.

Caught offguard by the scream of a teacher, Layle froze in place and yelled out to himself "Fuck!" with the loudest inner voice he could muster. Stopping right when he had started to climb a tree, he turned his head towards the origin of the unknown voice and turned off the flashlight on his forehead. Shifting his weight towards a nearby branch, he settled his body in a safe lean and brought out his Meteor Hammer from under his jacket.

Unknowing on what to expect, Layle simply prepared for the worst and threw small end of his hammer around the tree. Using it as a make-shift grappling hook, he settled the weapon around the tree and created a make-do Rope of which he could use to climb down or use to jump away. Sure it was stupid, but it was something. But... it wasn't as stupid as what he was about to do...

"You forgot to Knock! How am I supposed to answer if you don't knock?" Layle answered back sarcastically.

"Knock? I'll fucking knock all right. Get your ass down here and I'll knock the shit straight out of you!" Takashi roared as he channeled a Physical spell into his leap, sending him vaulting up towards Layle's tree. "Who the hell do you think you are and why are you trespassing on school grounds?"

Chirped back by the overly aggressive tone of the man (presumably) he had engaged with, Layle took his chances and attempted to leave. Latching unto his Meteor Hammer as he swung around the tree and levered himself down into the ground in a smooth movement. Yanking off the smaller end of his tool after he had finished, he gave another sarcastic yet calm response to the stranger, "Sheesh, some people just can't appreciate humor."

Noticing the thud the Physical SPell created only after he had landed, Layle quickly reassessed the situation and realized he was in over his head. The thud he heard was... thicker than that of your average punch at Boxing Practice. If it was good news, then flying pigs were real and delicious. "I really shouldn't have left that Lantern up there. It was a dead give away..." He thought to himself.

Wrapping his Meteor Hammer back around his shoulders, he took a few steps back from the tree and wrapped his hands around the back of his head. "A Student that can jump fences, and it it is not trespassing if there is nothing to steal and if I'm not acting like a vandal" He exclaimed.

"It sure looks like trespassing if you're running away from me like a fucking monkey!" Takashi growled as he slid to a lower branch before jumping out of the tree. He fell into a croach, which he quickly straightened out from. Really. He was getting far too old for this. The man stared flatly at Layle. Recognized the kid well enough. It was easy for Takashi to put names to faces, so even if the kid decided to get the fuck out of the way, he would still get an angry call home.

"Alright. You get one chance. Explain why the hell you're at the school at this ungodly time of night."

Recognising the perils and the amount of trouble he had gotten himself into, Layle promptly bowed his head in respect and put up a straight face. But then again, it was dark so who knows how much of his face was clear. Clearing his throat, he answered "Training my ability to Free Run in a relatively safe area where I won't get in trouble with anything holding a gun."

Giving his words a moment to lay he continued, "I just want to be able to run further without getting tired and to climb and jump. I have a Mountain Climbing trip prepared for Golden Week, so I'm just trying to get all the pre-trip training I can get even if it isn't exactly 'Mountain Climbing' Training per say."

"As for the Monkeying around. I didn't want to talk to you face to face on a tree branch... So I came down the easiest way I could."

"Not sure if you understand, but past nine, everything involving being on campus while not being personnel is damn sketchy. If you wanted to prance around, do it in the fucking park in daylight. If you've been here more than a week, you know that no one in the park would give half a shit," Takashi said, narrowing his eyes.

"What looks safe to you about concrete floors and this dirt-old campus? How is this even helpful to mountain climbing? If you want to train your climbing skills, go climb. Like at a rock wall." By this point, he was clutching his head in his hands. As a climbing enthusiast himself, Takashi knew that fancy cat-jumps and hopping were not par for the course.

"You do plan to wear a harness, right?" He had to check that the boy had at least some bearing on common sense.

Layle stared at the teacher as he felt each statement strike him like silver-lined bullets all across his chest. Subtly gritting his teeth beneath his lips while he mustered a response "I DO have a Harness and I will wear it when I go the trip. I done my research and prepared myself with all that I'll need. But still, I do occasionally do test on the equipment once every two weeks."

Pulling his hair out of his face (blame the wing), he recentered his focus on the teacher and turned on his flashlight. "And you have a good point. Free Running across the school doesn't really help me directly with Mountain Climbing, but its an activity I thought would help initially but later found to be fun on my own. As for training... I spend at least three or four hours doing climbing practice on the weekends. "

Spacing Spacing SPACING!!! "I'm not really into drugs or any illegal activities either. They are not anywhere near my thing, but if you want to think its sketchy, feel free. But I stick to my motivations, I'm here to train my physical body to be more adept and more energetic and because I've found some joy in attempting Free Running. Doing it in the dark just forces me to push myself further, and personally, I like the cold. Better than the scorching heat."

SPACING ASTRONAUTS! WOOT! GO ASTRONAUT TEEMO! YAY! "Now Sir, if I might ask you something I'll ask this. How did someone your age create such a thud and jump up to where I was so easily? I'm young and even I had SOME trouble getting up there." Layle finished, promptly throwing his ass into the fire once again.

"Practice. It's something I'll expect you to be doing in the span of a couple of weeks," Takashi said, glancing the kid over. It seemed like he had struck some nerves, but the kid was intent on continuing his midnight escapades. Damned youth and their inflexible opinions. "The fact that I made that thud was because I weigh so damn much. You'll probably be getting up there much quieter.

"And don't you try to force it. Jumping that high takes some fucking practice. And a lot of anger. Not gonna fucking lie, anger does a lot."
