Apartment Log [OPEN TO ALL]

[stringmods]

Who: EVERYONE
Where: APARTMENTS CAN'T YOU READ THE TITLE PIECES AND LIBRA
Summary: Massive Open Apartment Log (October 3rd - 9th)
Warnings: Rooms and stuff!

[OOC - Open Apartment Log! Talk to your neighbors, make new CR, get hit on get hit on.

You can find the master list of apartments [RIGHT HERE!]

Starting this week, the apartments also now have TELEPORTERS! These allow you to go from one apartment facility to the other.

They can be found in LEVEL 4 and are big enough to accommodate everyone (but maximum 5 at a time). However, due to the fact that they are still in the testing phase, you may find yourself appearing in the wrong part of the 4th level in the other building -- and that does include above the swimming pool. Hope you like water! (Thankfully this doesn't happen most of the time...most of the time.)

Start your thread with your character's name and their room number. You can always add what they might be doing, or just leave it open for other people to come in. Others then reply to them with the date that they come in and let the CR begin. Fun times are had by all!]

Comments

[electricyousei]

Yes, I was planning to. Its one of the few forms of exercise that doesn't completely exhaust me.

Still, the offer is open if you like.

[canteachyoumore]

I assure you, I can learn much by simply watching someone perform.

[electricyousei]

Perhaps, but there is no shame in asking for help. That and being pushed into the deeper parts of the pool could be dangerous if you are incapable of swimming well.

[canteachyoumore]

[Instead of answering, he motions for her to dive on in. He'd like to see how one performs in the water before he even begins to think about trying it out for himself.]

[electricyousei]

[Ruri nods and takes a running dive into the pool. She seems to be very at ease in the water as the water barely ripples as she dives in and she surfaces on the other end of the pool]

[canteachyoumore]

[How impressive! No doubt he was able to do the same, if he would give it a shot.



Maybe not. Swimming seemed to take a certain... skill, one which an attendant like himself did not require.]

What a magnificent dive! Are all performed in such a simple manner? [Yes, he's asking her something so silly.]

[electricyousei]

[She tilts her head and looks at him curiously for a second.]

Are you familiar with Murphy's first law? Nothing is as easy as it looks. The most simple looking maneuvers can take the most training.

[canteachyoumore]

And the more advanced may be easier once these basics are learned themselves?

[electricyousei]

Indeed. That is how most advanced techniques are created. Variations on simpler techniques or added flair to something basic.

[canteachyoumore]

May I see you perform one? If you are able to, that is.

[electricyousei]

Advanced or basic?

[canteachyoumore]

Advanced, if you would. I want to see if I can see the basics for myself, without knowing what may make up the move.

[electricyousei]

[She nods and starts for the diving board]

While I can't show you the triple lindy, I know a few that require some skill.

[She walks to the edge of the board, looks at the water and takes a breath, then leaps and does somersault before hitting the water with only a small splash]

[canteachyoumore]

[A triple lindy sounds rather exciting, but Theodore gives her a round of applause for what he's been shown.

And once she's back up, he'll express his awe!] You barely made a ripple, Master Ruri! I am quite surprised. Everything seems so simple as well, but that's in part due to the simple maneuvers that make up such a skillful technique.

[electricyousei]

Practice helps. It lets you know what angle to go at and the amount of time you have in the air to preform a maneuver like that. When I started it was not very impressive to watch.

[canteachyoumore]

Where did you learn? Were you taught by your two friends?

[electricyousei]

I find the sounds of water comforting. I learned after Akito and Yurika died, mostly so I wouldn't have to think about it.

[canteachyoumore]

[A form of escapism? No, just to keep her mind off the subject.]

I didn't realize that something like this could be used in such a way. Are there many things that draw your line of thought away from it?

[electricyousei]

When there is an issue you have no power over and you have nothing to do but obsess over it, its healthy to find other things to do. That's what I did. Ultimately that's why I joined the military, so I had things to occupy my thoughts other than a dozen what if scenarios of things in the past that I was incapable of changing.

Sometimes the your world just falls apart and you can either stand confused in the wreckage or look for something else to move you onward.

[canteachyoumore]

Is it really so easy? It sounds as if it would be quite a challenge to.

[electricyousei]

No. Its a daily struggle to keep occupied, especially here. That being said, its better than collapsing.

[canteachyoumore]

I see... Besides swimming, what sort of activities do you like? I'm sure there must be much more here for you to keep your mind busy. I have taken to playing the "crane machines" and trying to take little dolls from their metal innards.

[it's very fun even if he has quite the collections of ghouls]

[electricyousei]

I've been working on getting the Nadesico set up so it can at least have people stay in it. That and trying to understand the demons that roam the streets here.

[canteachyoumore]

The latter is certainly more challenging than the former. So long as you understand their intentions, you will have no trouble in deciphering what exactly they want to converse about.
