[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.]

Are you okay...?

[Seto perks up to show he's wide awake] I normally don't sleep a lot at night so, I thought I'd take a walk!

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

Hey, I can't blame you. It's better than sitting around.

[He'll go ahead and summon his Soul Eater.]

Mind if I join in?

[personafalsify.livejournal.com]

[ A nod. He's getting more used to the name by now, and he doesn't... actually hate it so.

He moves a bit closer with the acknowledgment, though, since he's not worried about startling Terra anymore. You... probably should take a break, shouldn't you? ]

[THINK FAST]

[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]

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

[erodingearth]

[...It's such a good thing that Keyblades can appear instantly, because the moment Terra turns around, he lifts up his hand protectively and his Keyblade flashes into his hand.]

What--?

[erodingearth]

[He pauses when he sees Riku summon his Keyblade, but nods firmly when he's ready to answer.] Want to show me what you've got?

[erodingearth]

[Terra tries to keep looking at Repliku as he's doing his pushups, but that proves to be difficult as his biceps spasm just a little. He manages to not fall right over, but he takes that as a sign to at least stop with that particular exercise for now.

...So he moves on to situps.]

You... Did you want to do something? [He admittedly didn't interact with Kohan that much since he was usually walking around or practicing somewhere, but by now he's used to his presence.]

[action]

[erodingearth]

[He ignores the fact that he can't really get up right now to focus on Seto.]

A night owl, huh?

[action]

[presumablyalone]

Yeah! It became a habit back home. [He smiles brightly] What are you doing out here so late?

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

You're on.

[Slipping into a battle stance now. This should be interesting!]

[erodingearth]

[And Terra swings his Keyblade off of his shoulder, nodding at Riku. Whenever he was ready.]

[erodingearth]

I was over in the battle dome practicing. [He can laugh a little, but ... wow, his ribs kinda hurt. It's starting to sink in just how much he was exercising today.] Lost track of time, I guess.

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

[Heh, perfect.

Riku's going to attack first, just as a test. He'll run in from the side, and while he might not be as fast as Ven, he's still pretty agile.]

[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.]

[action]

[presumablyalone]

You sure do like to train, don't you? [A look of worry washes over his face] It's not healthy to practice like that for so long...

[erodingearth]

[Master Eraqus had noticed early on that speed was not necessarily Terra's forte. By now, he knows exactly how to protect himself from those fast attackers.

Ends of the Earth's broad, flat surface acts as a shield, and he's vaguely impressed by the strength behind Riku's first strike.]

Not bad.

[Even as he says that, he aims to push Riku away, swinging his Keyblade in a wide, clearing arc.]

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

[Riku tries to block the blow with his sword, but given the size of the Keyblade and Terra's strength, it still pushes Riku back.

He'll quickly jump back and launch a quick firaga spell before waiting for Terra's next move.]

[personafalsify.livejournal.com]

[ Rep startles a little at that. Yeah, that's not good. He fidgets a bit for a few moments, but in the end, Terra is someone he really doesn't want hurting himself.

Despite the fact that there's no real voice to the words, they're still clearly understandable. Somehow. ]

Shouldn't you take a break?

[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.]

[erodingearth]

[He may not be able to speed around like Ven, but Terra can dash to try and close that gap between them. Of course, this leads to him slamming into the Firaga, and he staggers while he shakes it off.

But before long, he's trying that dash at Riku again -- this time with his Keyblade thrust forward and wrapped in flames.]

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

[Trying the same thing twice? Sure, the fire's a nice touch, but he was expecting a second try.

Riku dodge rolls to the side and charges straight for Terra. He's trying to land Impulse on him, but if there ever was the right time to counter attack, this is it!]

[perplexme]

...not exactly, but nice try. Does Ven usually let you just sleep in the grass?
