[This takes place on Friday, the last day of the experiment.

Terra's been feeling a strong desire to train today. Pullups and pushups in the clearing, combat training in the battle dome... He's got stamina to spare, but there's no doubt he's pushing himself; usually he has the sense to stop once in awhile.

He can be seen in the forest near house 39 exercising in the morning or over in the battle dome past noon. ...Or maybe even passed out on the grass on his way back to the house, towards midnight.]

[Well, when Terra pops into the battle dome for training, he might find Riku popping into the room.

He'll stay quiet at first, just watching because, dude, it's Terra training. He has to see this.]

[erodingearth]

[Terra is already pretty focused as it is, having set up a training program where wooden targets and dummies continuously appear. He has to pause to switch between different skills and Shotlocks, but these pauses are too brief to really be considered decent breaks. When Riku comes in, he has just switched to earth and gravity-based skills, landing multiple hits on the dummies and accessing command styles. ...Needless to say, there's a lot of strewn-around dummies before the program cleans up and replaces them.]

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

[When Riku sees those Shotlocks, he looks totally intrigued. What are those things? It's not like any of the magic Aqua taught him...

Well, he might as well see if he can get Terra's attention.]

Hey.

[erodingearth]

[Terra is about ready to move from his Critical Impact command style into a different one when he hears Riku, and he glances in his direction. Let him just finish off this one dummy--]

Here to practice, Riku?

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

Could say that.

[He smirks.]

But it looks like I'm not the only one.

[ Rep happens to notice Terra from the window of the house, and after a moment, heads out to watch.

Wow, you're even more into that than usual. What's up? ]

[erodingearth]

[It's not too unusual to see him exercising, but when he's been pushing up his own weight for ... oh, about 90 minutes now, non-stop? -- yeah, that's strange.

Terra might notice Repliku if he maneuvers in a way that he can see him.]

[personafalsify.livejournal.com]

[ Yeah, that's longer than he's ever seen Terra go at it before.

Moving a bit closer. You're not going to hurt yourself, right? ]

[erodingearth]

[Nope, he's pretty used to this... Well, okay, maybe not, but he still has strength to spare. For now.

As Repliku moves closer, Terra takes notice. He doesn't stop with his pushups, though.]

That you, Kohan?

[The name kinda stuck after that one experiment.]

[Most of what this kid does happens at night. In fact it's like he never really sleeps, a cat nap is a better word for it. But any who, Seto is currently wondering about, not really going any where when he trips over Terra and faceplants in the ground. He groans loudly, thaaaat hurt just a bit. He manages to prop himself up]

Ow...that really hurt...did I trip on something? [He turns and looks back at the thing he tripped over] T-Terra??

[action]

[erodingearth]

[Sorry, Seto, but it looks like tripping right over Terra didn't seem to wake him up. He's still passed out sleeping there on the grass.]

[presumablyalone]

[Terra must be really tired...or somethings wrong. Okay, Seto's starting to worry now. He quickly turns around and puts his hands on his chest, shaking him a little]

Terra..?

[action]

[erodingearth]

[The shaking motion helps, but Terra is slow to respond. He cracks one eye open.]

...Huh? Who?

[He's still half-asleep.]

[antlioncyclone.livejournal.com]

[TRAINING IN THE BATTLE DOME, YOU SAY?

Careful coming out of there, man.

Something is watching you.]

[erodingearth]

[Out of the battle dome, or out of one of the training rooms? Terra has to leave the training room he's been occupying when he needs something of a pick-me-up, so he can be found perusing the vending machine for healing items.]

[antlioncyclone.livejournal.com]

[any of 'em

because you're about to get jumped]

[erodingearth]

[Terra had just removed an elixir when he senses somebody nearby, and he turns around while still holding the bottle. ...Please don't literally jump on him, man. You're kinda heavy.]

[formerhero.livejournal.com]

[erodingearth]

[A soul. ...Yes. That works.

Terra grunts a little at the "nudge," his eyelids twitching. That was something of a reminder of how much he'd been working out today.]

...Ugh.

[formerhero.livejournal.com]

[erodingearth]

[...Why such a creeper, Duke. Terra manages enough strength to shake his head a few times, taking a deep breath.]

[perplexme]

[Sup Terra. Don't mind us, we're just passing by the area around midnight for no reason other than the inability to sleep. Roxas has taken to patrolling the village lately in light of recent events, but he pauses when he sees Terra.]

...um?

[erodingearth]

[It probably is kinda weird to see someone you know lounging-- er, passed out on the grass past midnight. Sorry you have to see this, man.]

[perplexme]

[He's going to hover over Terra for a moment, mostly trying to determine if he was alive or not.]

...Terra? You awake? [And he may or may not be poking him with his foot.]

[erodingearth]

[There's a slight twitch as Terra feels that poke, and he shakes his head a few times.]

Nngh... Ven? [He moves one hand to his face, rubbing at his eyes.]
