Trampoline park adventures

[Skye]

Straightening her back a bit with a look of pride upon her, if there was one thing she felt she could be proud of so was it her gymnastic prowess, few could rival it after all.
”See to kind of you, do not worry though I am well aware that in this single field my equals are few and far between.” It would be fun to meet one that would be my true superior though. Feeling her eyes grow large as she takes a step back and just basks upon the man, lips partially parted, hands upon her chest with a marveled look. ”You had talent scouts search you out to try and beg to get to train you so you could represent your country in the Olympics gymnastic team as well?” Whistling whilst containing her laughter. Offering a quick smile to the nod, not having the foggiest what might be going on within his mind, but he seemed to have some idea at least.

Beginning to frown at his words, the chivalry of the balloons or thinking she did not want to participate in full not a look she liked to get. So many underestimated her for her size as it were, worse still if those she considered friends would do the same but shining up at his final words.
”Thats better, its fun and games, I will ram into you with all my might.” Turning her eyes to look serious for a moment. ”But also take my vengeance on any who dares bump into you.” Letting her expression calm down again. ”Then bump into you myself, I think they have some belts to keep you in place.” Finding herself laughing for a moment as she goes on. ”Else I really will experience the sensation to fly through the air.”

Jumping in place, just seeing how high she could get without really moving away as she watches him bounce around with a sigh.
”Why is everyone so scared of heights? I should probably not go into the whole speech of wind surfing then, hmm did I mention that to you or was it just to Fyre?” Calling him that when he is not around to conceal his name should not be something he minds right? ”It´s ju” seeing him suddenly fall, the expression upon his face as she effortlessly spins through the air, nothing advanced just spinning as she jumps from trampoline to trampoline, to help him back up but arriving as he is checking himself. ”You sure? I know that falls here don´t hurt to bad, but they can still hurt. Are you ok to keep bouncing or would you prefer to go to the noodles?” Pushing her feet down to jump backward to the trampoline next to him, making sure to keep an eye around them for people, but not wanting to force him to carry on if continued bouncing would hurt. Not that such a thing should be a bother for either of us though.

[Asclepius]

The Need to be sarcastic overwhelming him, He places a hand onto his face and turns away from her dramatically. “Yes, alas it was not meant to be. Just as I was to be signed and complete the application process, I suffered a severe injury that lost me the position. Sadly they gave the position to a more mediocre gymnast, and I was never the same again.” He returns to normal, hoping Skye got some entertainment out of his dramatic false story.

He chuckles at Skye's expectation of how the bumper cars will go. “Someone really has been craving a turn on the bumper cars to be imagining scenarios about it. We can make time for it tho so don't worry.” What baffles me is that there is a Bumper car area in a trampoline place. Come to think of it, It's kind of interesting that she want to go on bumper cars. Considering that she has a preference to the outdoor activities, and bumper cars are more city based carnival activities. Maybe a treasured memory or something. “Yes best be careful not to go flying out of your seat. You would end up getting run over or worse.”

Getting himself dusted off from the awkward fall, he returns to the conversation giving a little bounce while he does so. “I'm Fine. As we were saying, it's probably because people are misinformed about the safety of the activity. After all everyone only hears about it when it goes wrong, and someone gets hurt. Also I believe this conversation was had with this Fyre person as this is the first we spoke on it.” He feels out for any injuries during the bounce and comes up with nothing serious, minor pain if anything which would go after a little bit. “Sure lets take up the battle noodles now and come back to this later if there is time. Thank you for your concern by the way, seems I made a right mess of that landing.”

[Skye]

Feeling the corners of her lips grow into a wide smile as she basks at the follow-up to her play, whoa I did not see that coming.
”Such vile demons, robbing you of your place, as your country suffered.” Placing a hand against his shoulder with a shake of her head. ”I guess the world of professional athletes was not meant for us.” Letting her hand fall down with a feigned look of sadness and a sigh. ”Mayhaps a grander destiny was woven for us, that is still hiding beyond the next bush.” Or they had long since traversed a place sleepers could barely dream of but that was not to be spoken of.

Answering with a soft hearted laughter.
”But of course, you gave me over a minute to wait before your arrival, do you have the faintest idea of how many things someone with my mind can come up with in such timespan?” Looking to her most trusted of allies of markings floating everywhere around her, spinning them into mental images and views, seeing herself fly through the air, the change of colors along with the new markings trying to guide and aid as they play the scene before her only to be snapped back at his words. ”Or I will fly into another bumper car and meet my princess charming, who knows?” Flashing him a smile, dream of fun things my friend we have a dark enough world around us to live in no need to let it fill our minds as well.

Bouncing effortlessly from side to side on two trampolines, letting her long silvery hair fly freely in the air with eyes locked upon him.
”It´s really quite safe, not that dangerous at all, I mean accidents happens sure but that is true when crossing the road as well.” Making a light backflip and back before him again. ”And I need to do it enough times to get to jump myself, so I can get to do the thing I actually wanna do, hmm I do wonder how long it would take to get the certification to do that though.” Nodding at his words, not sure if she had mentioned it during their camping trip or not, she had a tendency to really let her tongue loose with saying a lot that often meant very little. ”Sounds good, and of course, what friend wouldn´t care?” Making a few jumps in place, looking out a path before starting to spinningly jump toward the exit to get out of this little trampoline area, finishing with a flip down on solid ground, and looking for where they needed to head whilst waiting for him to catch up.

[Asclepius]

She was Kind enough to ask him to come celebrate and so he felt it only right to let his hair down a little and play along with her silliness. “Gracious, you are correct. However it is their loss... we must keep ourselves going to spite those that would take our place.” His face forming a wide smile as she continues. “Maybe, or... Maybe we will write our own destinys. Take life by the reins and drive ourselves where we need to be. There is no need for sadness or sighs, you are the hero of your own story.” He felt what was once a jovial conversation was turning deep and sour, and thus he kept a hopeful smile to encourage that it was still a happy occasion and hoped the happiness reflected back to him from Skye.

Wow, was it not her that said I didn't leave her standing here for long. Now she makes it seem I kept her waiting for a while. Rude. “I don't dare to think what makes that mind tick. Even if I could, I don't think I would be able to put the pieces of the cogs together to make them spin correctly.” What an amusing way to meet someone for a romance, would make a fantastic story for friends. “Ahh I see interesting, I imagine that in reality you would come to the aid of a poor damsel that is trapped in the woods. Leaping down from a high branch and fending off some hunting wildlife that stalks the poor damsel.” Certainly was more interesting then how me and my wife met, Oh dear here come the memories... no, no, I will reminisce later and not now.

Watching as his fellow arrow bounces and letting her hair flow wildly around with each bounce. “Well I imagine it is a little easier to enjoy, when you have partaken in some of the activities you have told me about. One day, when I feel stronger with...” He rolls his hand and winks. “...you know. I will maybe take you up on that but I would like to have another safety net before I decide to go.” He makes his way off the trampolines, gentle bounces as he does so. “Considering how you react to pleasant consideration from another, I can only assume it is in short supply.” He jumps down onto the ground and gives a look around. “I assume you know the way, so you lead on.”

[Skye]

Placing a hand upon her brow.
”Alas you are right, they got stuck with the subpar, but in turn I was blessed” turning her eyes to look upon him ”to meet with a kind hearted Knight. So surely it could not have been all to bad.” Showing him the most evil and wicked grin her small stature could muster, slightly leaning her head forward with a chuckle in her throat. ”Hero in our own tales, but what fun is that when you can be the villain in everyone else´s? Moahahaha!” Looking around. ”Or just have fun, life is to short to worry about yesteryear, have fun today and enjoy each moment you can. Else you will just have missed opportunities.” Hoping she had come of a bit playful, it was an evening meant for them to have fun, not to get stuck up on sour talks after all.

Feeling herself laughing at his words, ohh how right he was.
”Oh I would not wish that upon you, so many paths this mind imagines at all times. So many sights, so many things, a single minute more than enough to create several plans and ideas with ease.” Then again with the exception of her constant companion so did she tend to be alone so that was often a blessing. ”Ye..Wait what did you say?” Showing him a concerned look with a bit of a yusch sensation at the mere thought. ”Saving someone like that would be fine but for a romance wouldn´t that be bad?” Cocking her head with questioning look upon him, really not in her wheelhouse. ”Wouldn´t that risk causing some kind of mental condition of transference making the feelings risk not being genuine but rather forced by association or whatever the right words is?” Wasn´t that what that article said, or did I misremember, well he likely know some psychology so he will hopefully know.

Nodding at him, it was not for everyone, and as for her she just liked the freedom, and heck she could most likely survive an accident.
”Fair, well if you change your mind or get ready for it so let me know. I would like to become a wind surfer one day, now that would be fun.” Turning her eyes up into the roof before looking back at him with a smile as if she had gotten an idea. ”I have an idea, one that would give me part of what I want without breaking yours. Is there anyone in the company you would like to get a bit closer to in particular? I think we could try to get 1-2 extra people at least then trust me, I have a really fun idea and I promise you will not have to jump out of a plane.” Leaving out the aspect or similar, that would just be deceiving him and that she would not do. ”True, but that does not bother me. People know where to find me when they need me, and I will keep making that known.” Leading him over to their new arena, and grabbing a large blue noodle along with a green one with a bit of wobbly effort as she presents them to him. ”I will take the pink one, unless you want it?” Taking a few steps around to keep her balance, whilst not to heavy thanks to the training she had undergone these past years so were they still quite large for someone of her size, and keeping one in each arm and her balance was certainly no easy feat.

[Asclepius]

He rolls his eyes at the claim of kind hearted knight, but then gave himself one last opportunity to play into this silliness before its conclusion. “Well then if you are to out yourself as a villain then I must either apprehend you or or send you running with your plans foiled. So as to not ruin anyone time I suggest that you divert your villainous ways for a time for the sake of peace.” He puffs out his chest to look proud, but then laughs as he relaxes down from the pose.

“Sounds like its just a hunters instinct to me that is constantly kicked into gear. Head constantly on a swivel, imagining where and who creature could leap for you, always on guard ready to spring into action.” Mental condition? What on earth... “Bad for romance, I disagree all of the great tales of romance are based on heroic deeds that lead to romance, there are even some modern ones that keep the formula. Of course if you are speaking from experience I did not mean to upset with my dismissal.” Maybe my interpretation might help her understand. “ I see it like this, you swoop in to save the Girl or guy, not because it is the right thing to do, but because love at first sight compels you to throw yourself into danger for them, if they did not care for the person they would flee. Once that first action of selflessness is performed then comes the conflict to save the damsel, followed up with the chance to introduce ones self and connect with the other person. It is archaic and a bit more modified in this day and age, but the formula can still land.”

“Interesting, now that sounds like a fun outing. Although I can only hope the waters this side of the pond are as animal devoid as England is.” Anyone in the company? What is she planning? “Erm I don't really know honestly, I am open to get to know anyone to be honest with you, I have no ill will to anyone yet.” If it were anyone else he would consider it a challenge to his pride, to suggest he want the pink one, not that there was anything wrong with it however, such suggestions were long lost in his youth and can kindly stay there. “Green is fine with me, surprised you didn't take it. Matches the Forest after all.” He takes the Green noodle to hand, and practices using it with a couple of swings and moves to familiarise with the weight of the foam weapon.

[Skye]

Licking her lips with a chuckle.
”Or maybe a villain I will be so you the knight has to chase me but not vile enough for your blade as we play an eternal game of villain and knight, filling our lives with happy memories so that we one day can look back and see that we grew to be two close friends, with many a happy shared memories.” Showing him a final smile at the outpuffed chest, ready to move on from the play as well.

Raising an eyebrow, lost in thought for a moment.
”Perhaps, I do learned to hunt whilst my sisters learned to ride a bike.” They took so damn long to learn it. ”But I also just have a very active imagination, and used to have to be alone for long stretches at time, or to sit still and wait without moving.” Listening to his full words and pondering them for a minute. ”Experience no, I can honestly confess that I have one single date under my belt, and even that was just a coffee one. Sadly I never dated when I was younger, and just did well other things.” Damn I should look into my sisters soon.”Your tale is beautiful and one I do would enjoy that is true, still I fear that the feelings might not be genuine on their behalf if associated with the savior aspect. It is more something I read somewhere to be true though and have no insight into, if it is not cruel and do can birth genuine feelings so does it sound like this Huntress need to find her damsel whilst hunting a boar or two.” Even if they were damn annoying to take down.

Slightly cocking her head with a little grin.
”Ohh we will be indoors so no animals should get in the way.” Shrugging a little at his choice. ”Just thought it might be a good opportunity to share in a fun activity with some people, I know you have said you want to get to know everyone so if there was someone you thought you might click with so would it be a good chance to share a memory with them and get to know them a bit better.” Handing him the green one as she drops the blue one down with a bit of relief, a foot under the pink one as she light kicks it up a little and lifts it up with a little twirl. ”True but even I want to feel like a girly girl at times, and have the pink things instead of just the white, green and black.” Raising the noodle above her head and starting to spin it around a bit, playing around as she like him tests it weight and jumps up on the pole whilst still swinging it left and right, faster and wilder with each swing until she falls down with a laugh. ”Ok so that is my limit of motion before I lose my balance.”

[Asclepius]

Nodding at Skye's openness about herself. “Well I am no expert, but I would imagine someone that is interested and skilled in crafts would have a good imagination. As to whether you made the right choice between riding a bike and learning to hunt, only you can say.” I wonder if the real problem is she worries too much about it all to see the real magic of it all. “Yes, I remember you saying. However on the other point I will say that honestly in the grand scheme of things, do not think, simply act. If you give into fear it will lead to regret and as much as people can cope with regret, don't subject yourself to it. Given how we live, we have no room for what could have been, we must live for the moment.” Whether it was wanted or not it was simply his way of looking at things.

Ohhh indoors, that sounds so much better. “Oh then I am more inclined for wind surfing then. My biggest problem is with the wildlife, this is not an attack against them before you give me a strange look, but I respect the fact that I would be prey in their homes and would not invite such danger without cause.” At least in England all we had were crabs that were a problem and even then they were in specific places. He nods to the offer of others joining, he could understand what she was getting at. “I get ya, well I have a plan on that. I am hoping to throw myself into the next community event and try to encourage myself to speak to others more. With the recent announcements it seems people from different departments would be mingling anyway so I have an advantage there.” He hoped that he shines within the operations, as they would give him an advantage networking with people.

Well at least she is happy she is using the pink one. “Oh I see, is this you planting a seed for when you turn up with your hair dyed pink, or come into a company meeting with a very colourful pink outfit, to stun everyone. It certainly is not a crime to experiment with different colours, I am surprised you keep to the same coloured outfits all the time.” He takes the foam noodle with two hands and begins to prep himself for a bit of silly padded combat, his mind racing to the numerous action films with sword and hand to hand combat scenes. He pictures the scenes in his mind as if to memorise the moves to enact them should he need to. To him this was like a scene from his heroic imagination come to life. Finally he positions himself into a readied stance with the noodle held in a defensive position. A smirk rolls across the face. “En garde.... Villain.”

[Skye]

Stopping up with a confounded look, what?
”I made no such choice, I just learned to ride my bike in an afternoon my sisters did not.” The words of her imagination left to the winds, they all had good imagination to some degree after all, didn´t they? ”Ohh trust me I do, anything that falls me in I do, but that is also my flaw. I am to open, to direct, to unhiding and well.” Chuckling to herself, no I will not tell him that not here. ”Let´s say other things, but if my life should end tomorrow so hey I had a family in the triple digits, and have walked this entire nation, I have seen more in my limited life than many who lives to a hundred ever will, I have felt the winds underneath me, I have danced in blistering heat, slept in an igloo with fire my only source for survival, I have experienced near endless things, so I have no right to complain nor many regrets.”

Shaking her head.
”No no, wind surfing is from a drop from 10-15000 feet, but the idea I have for us to do where you could invite someone will be indoors.” Shrugging to his further words, the winds was hers, it was part of nature, she was born of nature simple as that in her mind. ”Maybe, or the opposite that we will be closing off to focus to much on deadlines and things to do. Nothing happens if you just wait for the opportunity sometimes you just need to create it for yourself and if you fail, brush off and go again.” True they had the whole baby Cloud operation but that was bonding under danger of life not truly her ideal path to get to know people.

Pressing her lips together for a moment as she bends forward to contain a laughter.
”Me walking in with pink hair to shock everyone?” Struggling to contain the laughter. ”Be a shock? I am sorry but it would hardly be a shock for me to do that again, but if you wish to see it then I can certainly do it again.” She had already walked around for a few months like that once so what was once more? Jumping back up with a spin as she sways the noodle around and jumping back, down into a battle position. ”Who dare you call a villain, I am no simple villain.” Launching forward with a smack against him. ”I am The Villainess of Hyrule! Fall you wicked ally of the mute pot crusher, Ganon will rise once more, moahahahaha!” Jumping with a little spin as she prepares her next attack toward him.

[Asclepius]

He laughs awkwardly. “Forgive me, but my interpretation it seemed like you were saying, that you did not learn how to ride a bike.” Come to think of It, I have barely rode my bike since I got it, I wonder if the forest has any trails to ride. “On the subject of bikes... do you know any nice trails to ride in it?” He nods to Skye talking about her flaw. “Well, being so open is only a flaw given a certain context isn't it.” His face turns to a frown and she speaks. “While I understand your statement, you still have plenty more to experience and furthermore you have plenty right to complain. Take it from a British man that stereotypically likes to complain, voicing grievance is the first step to changing something.” It may not be the most positive way to incite change but it fast tracked the change in a lot of cases.

What was I thinking of then? “I thought wind surfing was on the water with a big sail and surfboarding, Which is why I spoke of animals. Well sounds like a good idea, I shall be interested who you will wrangle for such an event.” Her insights create thought in his mind. True, action not words, but can you really be so bold in a community that seems to want move in circle of ones own comfort. Plus given the whole big debacle it was not the time. Besides, I need to make good on impressions with the order and path first. “Well when the time comes for me to go bold with socialising, you best be sure that I will hit the ground running. With any like hopefully it will garner good relations for the arrows.” Is it cruel to see the recent big events of tragedy as an opportunity to form bonds with people? One could argue I guess but it certainly shows trust if all goes well.

“Well okay, shock might be too strong of a word but certainly give me pause at least. No you don't need to do it, it is just a passing comment. You don't need to offer to change your appearance for sake of me talking about something.” What a startling offer, why would she want to change herself because I mentioned something? “Someone once said to me to be yourself, and those that hang around you will do so because they like you for who you are. Whilst I am sure you understand why we can't always do that I am certain that, with those that we can be ourselves with, we all should strive to be our true selves. Anyway, the only reason I mention it being a shock to me is because you have painted such a good picture of being a modern day huntress, as always there is more I need to learn about the people here.” He tenses as she took her battle pose. "You said yourself you wanted to be a villain." He braced as she launches herself towards him, hitting him in the side, he laughs a the connected hit but seeing a good opportunity to strike while she spins. Bringing the foamed weapon into a wide swing to hit the flat of her back, then recoiling ready to sweep the leg at good chance. As he does so, he attempts an impression of the small fairy. “Hey! Listen!” He raises the weapon like the famous sword in the games, to show that he is playing into her words.
