Good evening!

Thank you to everyone who has been taking advantage of the classes at Menrva's temple. To those of you who have not yet had the chance to stop by, please find a schedule available here.

Of course, we are also happy to make space available for additional classes if you have a skill or a subject to share. Please contact me or my goddess Elsa Randall for scheduling.

Which brings me to my second reason for contacting all of you! Since many of us aren't yet comfortable with the Internet, we'd like to raise money in order to purchase at least one computer. We already have a few offers to teach. Any donations that you can spare will go directly towards purchasing equipment and

getting us online!

Thank you very much for your consideration. We appreciate any and all assistance.

I hope to see you at the temple soon.

Mr. Hakkai!

once i receive a paycheck from my job, i will be donating an undisclosed amount of money to you real soon. look forward to it ♥

[reformedsinner]

We're very grateful! Ah, Sheryl, Elsa mentioned you were interested in exercise classes, isn't that right?

[galactically]

it won't be much, but it should at least help a little

[Realistically, it'd be around $10-15]

did she? yes, that's correct
i'm interested in teaching everyone yoga, muscle training, and aerobics

everyone, god and shinki alike, must shape up! (*•̀ᴗ•́*)و

[reformedsinner]

Ah, but even a mountain can be removed by spoonfuls!

I'm sure that would all be very useful. Yoga is quite good for flexibility, isn't it?

[galactically]

absolutely! it's good for balance and breath control, too
a way to make your body surpass its limits

would you be interested in joining the class?

[reformedsinner]

Yes, I think I would! It sounds like a useful thing to learn.

[He seems to have done some form of martial arts, although it's not something he could name. The reflexes linger where the memories have fled.]

Would you need any special equipment?

[galactically]

awesome! i'll jot your name down on the list

i'll bring over some of the exercise equipment like dumbbells, exercise balls, and mats from my temple
hopefully there's enough for everyone unless they don't mind sharing~

[reformedsinner]

Ha ha, when you're providing all of them it would be ungrateful for any of your students to complain about sharing!

I look forward to it.

[galactically]

if i hear any pointless complaints, i'll make them go through hell （ΦωΦ）
their bodies won't know what hit them!!
ufufufufu

as you should, Mr. Hakkai. i'll make sure this class is worth the wait

[reformedsinner]

I'm sure you'll be an excellent teacher, Sheryl!

[She's already mastered the necessary unforgiving attitude! Hakkai chuckles quietly at his phone screen.]

[galactically]

of course i will, because i'm Sheryl!

[if there's one thing she doesn't need mastering, it's confidence]

[mybadhabit]

I can bring equipment from my temple as well, if you are in need of more. I would also be willing offer the use of the track and obstacle course in my backyard, if you are interested.

[galactically]

an excellent offer, Hermes! i'll gladly take it ♥

running is also a very important exercise for the body

[mybadhabit]

I would say it's one of my hobbies, but I really consider it more of a way of life. -(๑☆‿ ☆#)ᕗ

[galactically]

i like you (＾∇＾)
it's not everyday that i get to speak to anyone with that sort of life

[mybadhabit]

Sports and athletics are a part of my domain, so it's only natural. I'm also well versed in gymnastics, if you have an interest. I would be delighted if you wanted to stop by some time so I could show you the full extent of my abilities.

[galactically]

exercising at the gym is my usual hobby, which works wonders for keeping my body in tip-top shape. i don't do much gymnastics aside from a few handsprings and cartwheels, but i'm interested in seeing what you can do

heeey, maybe we should run together sometime!

[mybadhabit]

I include it as a part of my agility training. It looks impressive and it's added a great deal of range to my ability to dodge during fights.

And it's just fun.

I would not mind going for a run with you. It would be a pleasant cool-down from my evening training.

[galactically]

are you some kind of soldier or athlete? you mentioned agility training and fights, so i have to ask ☆

perfect! i'd like to have a running partner for my morning routine around the temples. that'd be fun~

[mybadhabit]

Soldier is close. I've primarily worked as a freelance bodyguard for the rich and powerful. There have been other jobs, but bodyguard is the most popular service I offer.

Oh, Ekko will like that. It will give him an excuse to sleep in if I'm running with someone else.

[galactically]

bodyguard, hmm? i've haven't seen somebody with that type of a job in a while, and you're the first i've spoken to!

that's good to hear :) is he a friend of yours?

[mybadhabit]

It's a bit of a necessity in my world (＾▽＾) Monsters frequently attack the cities, and while there are heroes around to fight them, they're not particularly skilled at managing civilians.<

[He may be fudging his role a bit, but shhhh, there is no one here who could refute it. He'd rather have Sheryl's trust than a dangerous reputation.]

He's my shinki. I've been training with him as a bonding exercise, but he doesn't care for the early mornings. I can move training with him to the evenings instead. Hopefully, he'll be less mouthy about it then.

[galactically]

oh dear... you had to deal with monsters, too, didn't you? were they aliens?

[and now Sheryl is wondering if the creatures are as dangerous as the Vajra, if they've been attacking the cities and hurting civilians]

so Ekko is definitely not the morning person! ufufufu

i like practicing in the mornings. that way i have all the free time later in the evening to do whatever i please

[mybadhabit]

There was only one alien invasion that I am aware of, and they were dealt with by the time I arrived on the scene. The monsters are just... things. A lot claim to be human once, or the embodiment of some cause or another. No one has figured out where they come from, yet.

That's how I feel about mornings too. Ekko seems to think it doesn't matter when you start, but I like having the full use of the day. Plus, the morning is the ideal time to go for a run, since it's not too hot, and it's not too busy.

[galactically]

only one? you're lucky! it seems that aliens have different forms depending on where they live. how mysterious

i've seen several invasions happening in the bio-plant fleets, by the Vajra. overgrown bugs from outer space... it was awful

right? truly an ideal setting. i absolutely hate running around when it's too hot. all that excessive humidity can ruin a good exercise because you'll be focused on the sweating instead!
