Training

[vessel_ken_amada]

[Backdated to an indeterminate number of days ago. Context here.]

After the apparition of the training room and the elaboration of the schedules, all those part of the team to take down the evil Ken Amada are surely spending a lot of time in it. If you are one of those members, the question is... what are you doing in there?

A. Solo training

There are plenty of reasons to train solo. Maybe you are building up stamina so that you can have your Persona summoned at all times. Maybe you are working on your defenses. Maybe you are trying to get one of your Personas to make you fly. One thing is for certain: there is a lot to do!

[Toplevels using this prompt are ideal to invite anyone to join your character, maybe even with their own subprompts so people can walk in on different kinds of training!]

B. Sparring

Combat readiness involves, well, actual combat. It is not surprising to see team members spar with each other to ensure they are in top form.

[You can have open toplevels to invite anyone to spar, or you can lock them to specific characters.]

C. Training with Ken

Everyone on the team has scheduled training sessions with Ken, to be able to see and learn how to face the deadly abilities he shares with his evil counterpart.

[These ones are necessarily closed threads. You can come solo or in small groups of characters, indicate this in the toplevel.]

Zenkichi had spent a good amount of time already training with Falcon, long before the others but it was now surreal to see the...preparations being made here. The arrangements and the food and the snacks...

And then the cakes.

"Well well well," Zenkichi approaches in all his galore. A dramatic hat that barely managed to not touch any of the cakes on display and one hand now casually flicking the revolver in a spin before letting it fall back into place in one of the side holsters. His mask conceals away just how his eyes take careful note of all the options up on display. "You have got a whole cake business here, Katsuya-san. And here I thought the one during new years was enough to make me fall over."

[dweebtective]

If Katsuya hadn't encountered Zenkichi during the New Years party, he would have been much more alarmed. As it stands, he remains calm, just the faintest sliver of a smile lining his lips.

"Before I joined the police, I wanted to be a patissier. Now that I'm here, and there's no reason to act as law enforcement, I've had more opportunities to pursue my passions."

He pauses, his smile wavering. "Not to mention, I'd like to extend an olive branch to the others here..."

Zenkichi's expression softens at the quiet confession before he schools it back to something more even. Right, it's not like he forgets just how staunch or the amount of vitriol this place seems to exude for people who shared his past profession.

He isn't exactly the type to step on other people's dreams but he's glad the man has seized the opportunity to make use of his talents in other endeavours.

"You really sound like they are holding you at gunpoint," he comments in a rather carefree manner. "Man," he places his hands on his hips as he glances around. "It's not like I can forget that whole discussion on the network but hey they are at that age, y'know? Let it simmer a little. This is plenty good; if you overdo it, it might just backfire." He chuckles wryly as he waves his hand.

"Say, any recommendations then, good old patissier?"

[dweebtective]

Katsuya perks up at the question. "It depends on your personal tastes. Sweet or savory, whether or not you prefer fruit, cream, vanilla, or chocolate..."

He gestures at the selection. "I tried to account for different sensibilities, though in hindsight, maybe I should have asked if anyone here has allergies..."

Food allergies are very important to take into consideration!

[unit_8910_wolf]

Yeah that's the issue.

Its been a while since Hasegawa has had anything. Sweets especially.

"Don't have any allergies," he muses as Katsuya listing off specific the different flavours had left Wolf...confused. He could visibly see him deflate as he kept his arms crossed to his chest and focused on the bakery. "Uhh..." he scratched his chin as he looked over all the options. "...I guess I can the puffed up pastry thing? Shit what was it called?"

Cream puff. He was talking about the creampuff.
