It’s a Wonderful Day for Parkour

[itmeanstruth]

The twins had returned to the Nexus after a brief visit to their world. It was that time of year again - time for the American Ninja Warrior qualifiers.

For anyone passing through the plaza this beautiful afternoon, the grin on Minoru’s face said it all. He’d beaten the Seattle course, clocked in a great time and scored a spot in the Finals! But this was no time to rest on laurels. There was still a lot to do before he set his sights on Mount Midoriyama again.

“If I’m going to make it all the way to Total Victory this time, I need all the practice I can get!” He exclaimed while hopping on top a picnic table. The plaza and the surrounding areas were full of obstacles to train on. “Anybody want to race? Let’s do it!”

[open for anyone who wants to do a little freerunning or parkour. Either with Minoru or with each other, threadjacking here is fine by me.]

No one sees them coming. XD

She comes up on the bench beside him, light on her feet, and producing a thumping feeling like a bass drum at a rock concert. She, like all of her kind, rely on a form of echolocation to "see" the world.

The human language takes time to process but there's definitely a nod before she awkwardly stands up on just two legs. She's not really made for it like others of her kind but she's trying to mimic Minoru. This is a learning experience after all.

“O..okay then!”

Color Minoru surprised. And also very relieved that he would be running, but not for his life.

“We’ll do a lap around the plaza. Everything is fair game. Climb, jump. However you move.” He pointed out a path for them to follow. There were lots of obstacles - walls, trees, chairs, etc. - for them to avoid or utilize as they saw fit. He also tried to act out some of what he said when he spoke, even putting his hands on the table, to show that being on all fours was okay too. “Is that okay?”

He waited politely for some form of acknowledgement.
