Trampoline park adventures

[Skye]

Standing outside of thetrampoline park, waiting for her fellow arrow or perhaps today she should think of him as her fellow shaman? No matter which so with all the negative things happening around them, the chance of things really hitting the fan far to soon, and just how much their life already were burdened with endless tasks so did he truly deserve to be celebrated now when it was both fresh and before things would get to bad around them to prevent any form of celebration.

A couple of pieces of paper along with a fine pen twirling between her fingers as she stands close to the entrance, phone up, dressed in clothes even she had to admit were starting to get a tad to cold for the season, hmm should I invite anyone else? It΄s his celebration so maybe he has already thought of that and brought someone else along?

[Asclepius]

Driving to his agreed meet-up with Skye, Music set to loud on his radio to make the travel seem shorter, but also offering a chance to think. Do I need a celebration? Hmm of course, but seems a little strange that she would be the one asking for it. Is it possible that she is hiding some pain and hence why she set this up? Hmmm, fuck it, lets just make a day of It. To hell with the drama and the pain to come.

Rolling into the car-park he spots her at the door of the Trampoline park, before long he parked up and climbed out of his car. He wore clothes that would suit such an occasion, A Blue plain T-shirt, with his usual running shorts as well as his running shoes.He made his way over to the door, with a warm smile and a wave. “Hey, you okay? Have you been waiting long?”

[Skye]

Putting away her phone, cocking her head and showing him a grand old smile as he starts to approach.
”Welcome Knight, no not really but more importantly.” Digging her hands into a little pouch to take out a collection of pieces of leaves to throw up in the air above him instead of confetti, rapidly pulling out a little party whistle, the kind that sticks out when blown into and rolled up when not. ”Congratulations on your promotion! Ready to celebrate and have a fun evening out?” Still holding on to the smile as she looks up at him.

Spinning around with eyes upon the locale.
”You sure did pick a strange place to celebrate though, I for sure thought you would go for something more about cars or in line with the interests of yours you have presented. Not one that looks more tailor made for me.” Spinning back as she walks backward toward the entrance. ”I hope you did not pick this place with me in mind, and that this is something you truly do will enjoy.” Paying the entrance for them both before he gets a chance to protest, and walking inside for an evening of bouncing fun.

[Asclepius]

Phew I was worried I was a little late as usual, thank goodness. He is clearly surprised by the leaves thrown up in the air, He gives a little cheer as a response to her congratulations. “Yea! Thank you, you really are trying to go all out aren't you? I like the way you went with a more natural confetti and not actual confetti. Hell yea I am certainly ready for a good time.”

Strange? An activity out and about in the town is strange? “Nah, for occasions such as this better to do something I have never done before, that way the memory lasts longer.” He chuckles. “Besides, whats the harm if I did, if what you say is true and we are for some dark times ahead at work then we are certainly aloud to have a good time before then, And I mean both of us.” He makes his way inside with Skye and approaches the counter, he notices her quickness to pay for them both before he gets a chance. “H-Hey wait a minute who said your paying for me?” watching her walk away.

[Skye]

Softly laughing at his little praise.
”Hey we cannot throw confetti in the air, that paper is littering and not good for nature. Leaves are at least natural.” Looking up at him with a warmth shining through her eyes. ”Of course we need to go all out, tonight is your night, it is not often one gets appointed assistant manager after all.”

”Ahh yeah now that makes sense, but still to pick a trampoline park with the best gymnast in the city, possibly county now that was unexpected.” Cocking her head with a warm little smile. ”Aww, even when it is about celebrating you so do you think of others, you truly are a kind man worthy of your name, I am really glad you accepted it.” Walking inside, making sure to make some room between them and to not stand in the way before throwing her back backwards, bending herself far enough to have her hair touch the floor as she looks up at him.”I did, we are here to celebrate you, of course you do not pay.” Shooting back up as she looks around for a moment. ”Now do we get on the trampolines, the bumper cars, the obstacle course, the climbing wall or do you wanna see who can knock the other down with those noodle thingies first?” A quick shot over to the stands. ”Let΄s save eating for later, I prefer to be light when I move around, or are you in the mood for some fuel first?”

[Asclepius]

He laughs and at her comments of using leaves as confetti and pays it no further comment. Of course, I expect nothing less from a nature lover such as her. “Fine but lets please not draw attention to ourselves, We might still have unwanted onlookers around.” At this point this foe could be anywhere, and we should behave as such.

“The Best? Now I know I am not one to talk but someone is feeling humble.” a light laugh as the sarcasm flows from him. “With every mention of me being kind, it does leave me wonder what kind of people you hang around. To me I am doing nothing out of the ordinary for normal human behaviour?” He paused for a moment to think. Or was it the fact she spent so much time alone that she didn't get treated normally by people... hmm. “I couldn't possibly accept, you attending is enough for me, please allow me to cover my own cost.” I have no need for someone's charity, I'll be damned if someone pays for me. “Let's go warm up on the trampolines then maybe we can beat each others frustrations out with the noodle sticks, and if you have no frustrations we could consider it training for work.” Looking over at the stands by following her gaze. “I think if I were to eat then bounce I would puke, I will save it for later.”

[Skye]

Only nodding in reply, there was nothing further that needed to be said on the matter.

Accompanying his light laugh with a soft hearted one of her own.
”You΄re right, I apologize for that. I of course meant to say with the best gymnast in the county, and one of the top ten best in the country.” Maybe a little exaggerated but she had at least not met anyone that had proved themselves better, not that she had ever looked or cared though. Cocking her head with a soft look upon her. ”Was that a question you wanted answered?” Softly placing a hand up toward his shoulder, and giving him a kind look. ”Trust me when I say that each of my words are warranted.” Rapidly shaking her head with a pout, halfway into a scowl at the mere suggestion. ”Not a chance, but we can make a deal. If we get into a moment where I am to be celebrated for something, and you are in attendance so will you cover the costs for that time for me, does that sound agreeable?” Why does that matter so much? Does money have some different meaning in his culture, or has it mattered in his life, or is it just chivalry to not let a woman pay? ”Sounds good to me, but I do wanna get into those bumper cars before we leave.” Walking backward toward the trampolines, making sure to not back into anyone until reaching the set of trampolines setup within their little field.

Needing no more than a moment before having thrown herself up and starting to jump between them, spinning through the air with a wide grin upon her face.
”Come on, lets bounce!” Making a simple backflip as her long silvery hair dances around with her, cartwheeling in the air to the trampoline next to her, spinning as she jumps and just generally seeming to be playing around. Feeling a bit odd for just how much she was holding back, how little she allowed herself to go wild. But knowing fully well that if she did so yes she would draw attention beyond belief, it had been one thing when it was in the concealment of darkness but around these masses in the light no not a good idea.

[Asclepius]

He laughs at her comments. “Forgive me, I did not know I was in the presence of someone so skilful, and top ten of the country at that too. Clearly I am not worth of such a display.” The cocked head and soft look confuses him as he responds. “Only if you want to offer an answer.”

He rolls his eyes with a smile, showing he is not annoyed at her refusal to accept his money. “Don't you pout at me... But fine I accept your terms.” This is better then nothing I guess, no need to argue about money too much as long as there is some compromise.”Hell yea bumper cars are on the cars definitely.”

He watches as Skye bounces off onto the trampolines, he not to long after follows and keeps himself reserved for a moment. “Okay, On my way.” He makes no attempt for anything flashy at first, trying to keep himself balanced with each bounce between the trampolines. He attempts with each jump trying to increase the height he reaches, before long his jumping evolves into doing high backdrops and landing onto his front. Once getting himself familiar with the sensation of falling and bouncing back up, he bounces his way over to Skye and calls over to her from the next trampoline to her one. "The weightlessness is so thrilling."

[Skye]

Following along in his laughter for a moment, not willing to fully make this into a jokeful thing.
”I believe I told you of my gymnastic prowess quite early on, did I not?” Hands behind her back as she leans in closer toward him, up on her toes to try and get her face somewhat closer to him at least. ”Perhaps you would like to see where my confidence comes from one of these days?” Falling back with a shrug at his words. ”How many do you see around me most of the time?” Leaving the words at that, assuming it would be enough.

Softly clenching her eyes and sticking out her tongue at him with a little chuckle.
”Marvelous it is a deal then, so now lets enjoy the evening and have fun to our hearts content.” Sigh money, money, money, always money, why does people put such value in money? ”Be prepared I will ram into you like the master driver that I am....If I am not sent flying out from the first one to bump into me that is, downside of being tall as a pixie, you are really at the mercy of bumps and people trying to lift you.”

Starting to bounce from side to side, back and forth between two trampolines as she watches her fellow arrow get her bouncing legs? Is there an actual name for it? Giving him some time before looking a bit worried at his sudden fall forward, about to hurry over until he gets back up, and letting out a sigh of relief. Jumping up, spinning and away from him, to the side and jumping backward with a backflip followed by a second one, a light bounce on the same trampoline forward, bending her legs and throwing herself backward to land on her back on the one next to him, using the momentum to let it throw herself back up with a wide grin of happiness upon herself.
”I know isn΄t it amazing.” Wait what did he say? Cocking her head as she bounces around a little in place. ”You know we can always go skydiving sometime?” Now that would be weightlessness for real.

[Asclepius]

Worried she did not see the sarcasm in his words he feels the need to reassure her on the matter. “You did so, verbally and visually. I was simply giving you an opportunity to play it up and be boastful.” The lean in is not ignored but more that he assumes that she wishes to speak something quietly and he turns his heads to hear it. “I can probably guess where it comes from. Possibly the same parlour trick that we both have in common. I dare not think of anything otherwise, politly it wouldn't be my business.” He nods at the statement, fully understanding what he assumes she means by the statement. Ahh, yes easy to forget she is not socially understood when she is so confident in herself. Does this make me an outlier? Am I too soft on people when I should be more colder?

He laughs at her expression and her warning of her driving. “As an Ambulance driver, I hope I can safely say I have seen all kinds of terrible driving and can learn to avoid accidents. I shall otherwise note that you will be vulnerable in the seat and shall do my best from bumping you... too hard.” I bet she would be annoyed if I didn't get some hits in. like with the balloon fight.

His confidence growing as he bounces around, gaining more and more momentum. His free falls onto his front and back having more and more height. Hearing Skye's words he pauses a moment as a cold chill hits him. “That would push me beyond my limit. I know it sounds silly, but that's far too dangerous in my eyes.” Ironic considering the life he was thrown into, for now he will keep the falling onto trampolines. Now he had found his groove with the bouncing, it was time to push a little for some fun moves. He started by gaining height and keeping the momentum going, waiting for the right opportunity to send himself into a flip. After checking that he would not land anyone he goes for it.

Clearly he did not move himself enough and can not stick the landing, his body slams down onto the trampoline butt first, minor pain shoots through him that he feels the need to let the momentum fall away. Getting himself back onto his feet he checks to make sure there is no lasting injuries and announces that he is okay.
