[He'll take a few steps back, making sure both of them are on the soft grass]
You wanna start with your stance, a lunge. You wanna put your dominant leg out front, and bend it slightly. Meanwhile your back leg should be straight. Like this-
[Naoto observes him carefully, turning so that she can mimic his stance, bending her front knee and trying to keep it straight. However, her foot is to the side rather than straight on, so it's more like a yoga pose than a lunge.] Like this?
That's because you're supposed to use your hands. [He'll move back into his own lunge, it's second nature to him. He then bends over, reaching out to touch the ground with his hands] Bend down and get into a crouch like this without moving your footing just yet.
All right... [Naoto watches him do it, and then tries to imitate it. Her form is more awkward, naturally, and she bends her leg like she's actually doing a lunge, bending forward so that her fingertips are the only ones on the ground.] I still... don't really feel like I have much leverage here.
Noah will give a nod and head over to where Tatsuma indicated. Seeing the strawberry gummies, he'll grab a few packs of them and drop them in. He'll also grab a bunch of random snacks for himself. Might as well try a bunch out right now!]
[A wide and cheerful grin. This is going to be fun to work with - and also eat.]
Let's go.
[He'll pay for the items before heading home! Luckily there's plenty of work space, especially with the basement being pretty much set up for kanpla work. He'll set out the materials within easy reach.]
Marshmallows first.
[He definitely wants those. Time to break out the toothpicks and marshmallows and- yeah some of the pink ones are eaten immediately, go figure.]
[He'll follow him home, because it's not like he has anything else to do. He'll at least help with making sure the cats don't follow them into the basement. When he gets down there, tatsuma's already breaking out the marshmallows and eating some of the pink ones]
You know the coloured ones don't have flavours right?
Thanks to their combo link, it manages to actually do some severing damage to the wing! The stormbird screeches at its damaged wing sparks and hangs loosely. Looks like it's trying extra hard to move and knock Li-Na off! ]
[He immediately know what's happening thanks to the link. He runs over to try to check on her. The stormbird meanwhile is revving up for another attack after it starts trying to recover from its damaged wing]
[Ouch. Ouch. OUCH. She is going to need a long hot bath to stave off any muscles injuries when this is over. She pushes herself up, because she can still hear the stormbird thrashing around, so the job isn't finish yet.]
I am... sore. Ah, that really hurt.
[She rubs her shoulder where she made initial contact with the tree. She's pretty certain she didn't break anything, but still. Ouch.]
I can still fight. We cannot let it attack anyone else.
[Noah looks pretty concerned. Was she really okay flying up there again? Nothing looked broken, but next time might not go so well.]
We can't do that plan again. That thing's got too damn strong a counterattack.
[Meanwhile the bird, figuring out how to function with it's wing- is rising up. At first, maybe it could be mistaken for it deciding to fly away, but then it slows in it's assent, and pivot's directions so it's looking straight down at them.
[Li-Na rather agrees with Noah. This monster is really tough, tougher than any other creature she's fought so far. But she's also certain of her and Noah as a team. As long as they work together, she knows they can take down this opponent.
At first, she thinks the stormbird is about to flee, but then it turns to look down at them. And as an aerial attacker herself... Li-Na knows what that means.]
No... Noah, run!
[She starts to clamber to her feet, in the hopes she can kick off a whirlwind to ward it away again, but a wave of dizziness forces her to her knees.]
How could I forget? See, that's what I'm talking about--it's always at our expense, y'know? Why isn't it ever their dirty laundry that gets aired? Seems suspicious to me.
Honestly, that's something Yu and me really disagree on. I know he's had a decent experience with at least one of the employees so I don't wanna say he's a liar or anything, but where are they now?

Naoto
Alright, fair enough.
[He'll take a few steps back, making sure both of them are on the soft grass]
You wanna start with your stance, a lunge. You wanna put your dominant leg out front, and bend it slightly. Meanwhile your back leg should be straight. Like this-
[Demonstrates it, doing exactly what he said.]
no subject
no subject
Get your feet straight on, not to the side.
[he kicks out his own foot gently try to correct it]
no subject
Frankly, I don't see how I'm supposed to get up or lift my weight from here.
no subject
That's because you're supposed to use your hands. [He'll move back into his own lunge, it's second nature to him. He then bends over, reaching out to touch the ground with his hands] Bend down and get into a crouch like this without moving your footing just yet.

Tatsuma
Yeah! Sculptures are cool.
[he nods]
Good thinking. We can use my basket for snacks to eat. Know where they keep the strawberry stuff?
[Cause bro he knows what you like]
no subject
Over here!
[They definitely need those packs of strawberry gummies, right? Right.]
no subject
Noah will give a nod and head over to where Tatsuma indicated. Seeing the strawberry gummies, he'll grab a few packs of them and drop them in. He'll also grab a bunch of random snacks for himself. Might as well try a bunch out right now!]
Okay. Anything else?

[A wide and cheerful grin. This is going to be fun to work with - and also eat.]

You know the coloured ones don't have flavours right?
[He says as he grabs a small handful to eat]
no subject
But pink's always the best.
[Is that the truth or did you just get fooled into thinking that all these years, Tatsuma...
Still, the marshmallows that remain begin getting stuck on toothpicks.]

Li-Na
[ Who da fuq is Allen.
Thanks to their combo link, it manages to actually do some severing damage to the wing! The stormbird screeches at its damaged wing sparks and hangs loosely. Looks like it's trying extra hard to move and knock Li-Na off! ]
no subject
And knock Li-Na off it does. She goes flying with a surprised yelp and smacks into a tree before she can orient herself enough to use her boots.]
no subject
Li-Na!
[He immediately know what's happening thanks to the link. He runs over to try to check on her. The stormbird meanwhile is revving up for another attack after it starts trying to recover from its damaged wing]
Li-Na, shit, you okay??
no subject
I am... sore. Ah, that really hurt.
[She rubs her shoulder where she made initial contact with the tree. She's pretty certain she didn't break anything, but still. Ouch.]
I can still fight. We cannot let it attack anyone else.

[Meanwhile the bird, figuring out how to function with it's wing- is rising up. At first, maybe it could be mistaken for it deciding to fly away, but then it slows in it's assent, and pivot's directions so it's looking straight down at them.
It's going to divebomb them]
no subject
At first, she thinks the stormbird is about to flee, but then it turns to look down at them. And as an aerial attacker herself... Li-Na knows what that means.]
No... Noah, run!
[She starts to clamber to her feet, in the hopes she can kick off a whirlwind to ward it away again, but a wave of dizziness forces her to her knees.]
Ah!

Yosuke
[he shoves his hands into his pocket]
Yeah, tell me about it. Then again, seems like Retrospec.
I remember the month I got the app, there were those videos of our secrets getting posted online. Remember that?
no subject
How could I forget? See, that's what I'm talking about--it's always at our expense, y'know? Why isn't it ever their dirty laundry that gets aired? Seems suspicious to me.

[ A low sigh. ]
Honestly, that's something Yu and me really disagree on. I know he's had a decent experience with at least one of the employees so I don't wanna say he's a liar or anything, but where are they now?
no subject
Yu really...tries to see the best in everyone.
[Which is admirable in many ways, but Noah's not of the opinion that everyone is good deep down. Some people are just rotten]

Atsushi
[Yeah he's glad for that much. But he shakes his head at the question]
Nah, living situation makes it tough to.
But I used to have a beagle. Her name was Allie.
