Voice | Day 18

So question that I am curious about, to say the least.

[He wasn't sure if he was going to get a decent amount of answers, but at least one of his questions was more for the fact that sometimes training alone was rather boring at times. There was only so much you could do.]

I will admit that suddenly finding myself in a new place is not exactly new to me, so it got me wondering if perhaps maybe I'm not the only one whose been elsewhere apart from home before. Am I the only one, or are there others?

[That was at least one of them done and out the way.]

The other question is about people who train in the gym? One what kind of training do people usually do there and also would it be okay if I were to join at some point? I really do not want to get rusty at all.

There are others.

There are all types of trainers and trainees to be found in the gym. Various martial arts and other forms of basic self defense, sword fighting, and archery are all practiced in the gym. There is also yoga and meditation practiced in various carriages.

Anyone is welcome to train in the gym at any time. If you need a sparring partner one can easily be arranged. Myself, Lightning, and many others are consistently available for help in finding an appropriately skilled opponent for practice and/or training purposes.

Special abilities and magic can also be matched appropriately if that is of any concern.

[Since 47's been thorough enough in his answer, Nita's focusing on the first question instead.]

Yeah; there's more than a few of us who've been through this whole rigmarole before. Did yours have a name or place it centered on?

... We can talk about it in person if you'd rather; my name's Nita.

If you're talkin being blipped out of one world and into another, I've ever done that before.

Can't answer that last one. I've seen a couple big guys doing stuff there so I'm guessin it's a common thing? I prefer running.

So this is a normal occurrence? Are you one of them or do you just know of them?

Thank you. I just needed to know so I can figure out my own training.

But I will take this into account, though always training with someone I find is always beneficial. I just like to make sure my skills are up to par.

One of them yes. The other had so many worlds that each had its own name.

[And there were so many to just list, he knew it might take a while.]

I am fine either way, but it is nice to speak to you, my name is Allen. Allen Walker.

Running? how can running help train you in terms of fights and such?

Stamina, endurance, builds muscle. I mean, hey, lift weights and punch a bag if that's your thing. But being nimble and fast is what's kept me alive.

[Nita suspected it'd be like listing every world that Isis had ruined; she hadn't been on many Flaw-fixing trips herself, but it was a sobering number.]

Good to meet you, Allen.

I guess the important thing to ask is, how did those journeys end? Were people just sent back to their worlds at random, or did something specific have to happen first?

I'm not sure if it's a "normal" occurrence, but it's not entirely without precedence. I'd say our numbers are smaller than the others but there's a few of us.

Both. I'm one. I've heard of others.

It's not exclusive. You'll be fine to train at any time.

That was the consideration of many of the ones that train here. The other half have no previous skill and come to learn from those that do. You won't be in the minority though to want to keep your skills sharp.

Garrett-san says he knows me from someplace else, but he's DEFINITELY not from my world, so I think it must happen to some people! And I've not seen a gym car, but if you like parkour, me and the spider-kids play the floor is lava a lot?

Oh really. What was the place you were at before like?

But it's nice to know I'm not the only one, that's comforting a little bit.

It was a place called Ryslig. It was a world full of monsters created by one of the two local gods that were warring against each other. We were the monsters.

Good to know really.

[He wondered how much training a day he could really get away with. He figured he might as well test that out at some point or something.]

So apart from the training what else is there around this train?

Each carriage has an intended use. People also tend to come up with their own activities. [ beat ] There are lessons for the young or uninformed about mathematics, sciences, etc. There is a small library started in the standard coach that passengers may contribute to if they so wish. The store allows passengers to spend accrued points on various items of interest.

People would end up in darkness all the time in the first one and just randomly disappear in the second.

Though I do believe that for the first place I ended up with defeating the Heartless and saving the worlds would have been able to get us back home eventually.

I do other things to build that up when not on missions.

[Plus they had a training room and not really a good idea to go running in the Order.]

But not sure if one could do running here either.

[Allen can't see it, but Nita's making such a face right now.]

That seems like a staple for these scenarios for some reason.

[To the point where being able to go back home after Waking seems like an exception.]

Heartless, though, huh? I've heard of them; Naminé might want to talk to you about that sometime, if you know who she is.

Or Terra, though I don't know him as well; she's my roommate.

What on earth is parkour and why does that have to do have a floor being lava?

[he may have been better at modern things than most people from the victorian age, but there were still things even he didn't know about.]

Yeah, limited space is gonna put a cramp on my running...

But hey, we all do what we do. You have your way, I have mine. Though... I'm probably gunna have to find a new way now. Dang it.

You've never played the Floor is Lava? Dude!

Parkour is ... a sport, I guess? A type of training? Some people call it Freerunning, although they are not quite the same thing. The aim is to get from one point to another in a complex environment, without assistive equipment and in the fastest and most efficient way possible. Wether that's over a wall or up a building or whatever. Freerunning is more showy - flips and twists, where parkour's just about getting from A to B.

The Floor is Lava is a game that supposes exactly that - the floor is lava, you can't stand on it. So the aim is to get across the train without touching the floor at all!

So people were brought in and were created to be monsters, or were you the monsters already when you arrived?

So there are other things. Personally, classes and reading aren't something I'd want to do. [His reading isn't the best for one, even with being away from home for so long and having gone to school for a brief period.]

But what about food? Can I ask about how that works and if there is only so much we can eat?
