[center][b]Summary:[/b] Training continues. A group forms at the ranged training dojo. Kathy is distracted by Crash. Nobody is surprised.[/center]

[i][u] - Crash - [/u][/i]
Crash glanced over his shoulder at Tora sheepishly, the zombieish man looked pretty spaced out so he was sure he was safe for the moment. Leaning on his elbow he propped his chin on the tops of his knuckles watching Carmen and Kathy with intrigue, absorbing both reactions noting how Carmen held the trumpet strategically before striking and how not only stepping forwards but sideways worked in Kathy's favour. [i] I wish I'd heard what Yutaka said earlier[/i] He glanced at Kathy as she gave him a funny look, he blinked at her a sheepish look entering his expression. "...well we can't have that, I'll be careful promise" He grinned at her, though quickly averted his gaze at her next question lifting his head as his hand rubbed the back of his neck. "Not so much rile him up...just worded my interest wrong" He murmured, his trade mark smile returning as she laughed although he wasn't aware of his mistake until she repeated the name, he felt his smile widen into a grin. "My bad, he accidentally put a 'D' at the front of his name must have stuck in my mind" He shrugged, relaxing back onto the side of the wooden boxing ring crimson eyes admiring his friend's...technique. 

[i][u] - Little Feather & Lion - [/u][/i]
Little Feather tilted her head to the side listening to Dani having helped him to his feet, she retracted her hand fiddling with the ring on her finger thoughtfully, giggling at his comment about being a terrible runner in a marathon. She watched him address Garden with a sense of awe, unsure whether this was a normal custom that she was unaware of...should she be bobbing or bending at the middle every time she greeted Garden? Lion rather enjoyed both of the students reactions his tail flicked behind him as he first addressed Garden. "No offense taken m'lady" He purred lifting his jaws in a grin, tough his ears flickered as he settled her with a thoughtful gaze. Turning his head slowly to look at Dani who was looking around in search of the 'man' that owned the deep and melodic voice, he purred appreciatively at Garden as she patted his head and explained to Dani who had spoken. "Apologies Dani, I didn't mean to startle you" He apologized to the purple haired boy. "I'm glad you think so" He made a motion to rub his cheek against Garden's leg, careful not to disturb Sunflower. Little Feather rubbed her hands together nervously before reaching for Lion and sliding her fingers into his mane, the beast pressed his shoulder against her leg in a comforting manner. "Range...sounds great" The Lakota woman lied convincingly, she could tell Garden really wanted to go there and she didn't want to part ways with either of the two students. [i]Are you sure?[/i] Lion grumbled so only Little Feather and the feline atop his head would understand, he lifted his bright blue eyes to watch Little Feather, she nodded at him with a small smile. 

[u][i] - Matt - [/u][/i]
"MAAAAAAATT! YOU CANT LEAVE! YOU MUST TRAIN! TRAIN, TRAIN, TRAIN! IF you want to be awesome like me, you must train! Now get back in there and kick *** like a duck!" called a voice from behind Matt. Matt whipped around and looked sheepishly a his old pal, Darwin.
"Er... About that. You see, I am going to train, just sort of... Elsewhere..." Matt trailed off as his eyes glanced over at Crash. Crash seemed to be looking a bit less beat up now that he was moving around, but still... Matt didn't feel comfortable in the same room as a teacher who would do that sort of thing to someone.
"I was thinking of moving over to the ranged dojo. I heard they had archery, and shooting targets with a bow and arrow sounds pretty fun." [i]Especially compared to this place...[/i] Matt thought with a frown.

[i][u] - Alistair - [/u][/i]
Alistair was frankly surprised as the world around them bent and shifted to show 3 buildings instead of an empty lot "interesting magic" he waved his free hand in front of him as Cyber had stopped to look at the building and part of the original lot he saw formed below his hand, he laughed "the lot's just an illusion, how interesting, I'm surprised I didn't see through it, i can see through most" he turned to cyber as she said “Which one? I think I will go to this one! Come on Alistair!!”and pulled him towards one of the building "alright!" 
“So Alistair ready? This might help you too!!” Alistair grinned a little maliciously "Oh I'm ready! how are we going to train Cyber?! one-on-one?"

[i][u] - Carmen - [/u][/i]
Despite the instructor telling Kathy two things she should pick from, Carmen was still unsure which one Kathy would pick, and so was not prepared for the dodge. This was certainly enjoyable, even if elementary. "Agreed," she responded to Kathy, giving a soft smile. She prepared again, with an altered tactic. This time when she went at Kathy, she directed her swing more vertically than horizontally, giving Kathy less of a chance to dodge by going forward. There was still plenty of chance to dodge, but she thought it would work. She started the swing going very sideways like before, but lower, and quickly curved it to go almost completely upwards. Hopefully, it would connect with Kathy this time, but she learned just as much when Kathy dodged it.

[i][u] - Kathy - [/u][/i]
"Hey, you already promised to be careful, remember?" Kathy smiled, tilting her head to side as she looked at Crash. "Does 'you're not allowed to get Crash hurt' ring any bells?" Laughing she added, "You need to be able to remember your promises to keep them right?" She watched as he avoided her gaze and began rubbing the back of his neck in answer to her quest about riling the teacher up. [i]'He really isn't suited for lying.'[/i] She thought with a fond smile. Though she was curious about what he meant exactly, she took the vagueness of his answer as a sign he wasn't all that keen on telling her the full story and decided to drop it. "Wait, you mean Tora was the one that made the mistake first?" She asked, confused but not doubting Crash's words. Kathy momentarily turned her head to glance at the other instructor. [i]'Now that I think about it, I haven't even heard Tora speak before. Is it because he has a strange accent or lisp of some sort?'[/i] Shaking her head at him she asked, "Taking a break already?"

Turning her attention back to Carmen, she got ready for the next short exchange. Even if she had been looking for it, the vertical swing was slightly harder to perceive and her reaction just a split later than it should have been. Caught by surprise, she accidentally resorted to her old tactic and sprung back, putting distance between them. "Ah." Realizing her mistake, she sighed. "That was a habit of mine, sorry." If Carmen had actually used her full strength and speed behind that one, she thought that it would have probably connected. And if it was a real fight, she would have given her opponent an unnecessary advantage again from having a wider reach than her. Kathy walked back to the same distance again and readied herself again with a slightly more determined look. "Again." 

[i][u] - Carmen - [/u][/i]
Carmen was only too happy to oblige. In Kathy's surprise and backwards spring, Carmen learned still more. Sure that Kathy wouldn't make the same mistake again, she altered her approach yet again. This time, she would come in from the opposite side, quickly switching her approach as late as possible in an attempt to fool Kathy into preparing to block the other side. It was sort of a long shot, but she had already done side and up, so she figured she might as well do the other side. Glancing over at the instructor, she noticed him just calmly observing, not saying a word. Yet. As she planned, she moved towards Kathy and switched her approach at the last second, swinging towards Kathy from the left side instead of the right.

[i][u] - Crash - [/u][/i]
Crash’s eyebrow twitched up, his mouth twisting into an amused smile though he looked a little surprised at her comment, his hand thudding against his chest as if in mock hurt. “Wow...Miss Argall, do you really think I’d forget a promise?” He queried. “I’m hurt by such a thought, I’ll have you know I never break my promises” He admitted with an honest grin. “Yes, he can’t really speak from what I can tell so he wrote down some instructions...he’s far more talented at fighting than writing” He explained trying not to sound rude about his teacher but be truthful at the same time, he wasn’t exactly good with words at the best of times. He tilted his head to the side as she shook her head at him, a reply to her question jumping to the tip of his tongue asking him to be bold enough to say it. “Just admiring the view while I recover” He grinned cheekily. [i]...Oh good...I actually said that out loud...[/i] 

[i][u] - Kathy - [/u][/i]
Kathy watched Carmen's movements carefully, knowing from her second attempt that she was not just going to stick to the same patterns as before. Thinking that the attack was coming from the left, she waved over to the right. However, that was the trap. Carmen suddenly switched the trajectory of the trumpet and came at her from the right. She brought her knee up to try to kick it, but knew she had already lost her timing and didn't bother following through with the defense. She smiled at her practice partner. "That was a good one." Licking her lips, she retreated back to the predetermined distance once more. She had lost that exchange now, but with it she got a small idea and wanted to try it out.

"Oh? I'll be sure to hold you to that promise then, no excuses." She laughed, joining in on Crash's jest. Glancing over at Tora again for a second she admitted, "He does give off that sort of feeling... You know, being better at physical activities than academics?" Kathy was a little surprised he had chosen to write something out to Crash, but supposed Tora had to have some method of actually communicating with with students if he was a teacher. Then hearing Crash's cheeky comment, her stance wavered a bit as she felt a flush rise up to her cheeks. [i]'Did he just..? Did I hear that right?'[/i] Looking at Carmen, she waved her hands a bit and asked, "S-Sorry, can I get a time out? Just for a bit." Taking in a deep breath she pointed at Crash and told him, "No distractions from the sidelines please..!" With all her embarrassment, she wasn't sure whether to just take it as flattery or question what view he was actually even really referring to.

[i][u] - Andromeda - [/u][/i]
Andromeda had left soon after the Beach Olympics were over, she had heard about a training thing so she followed everyone else towards a vacant lot. when she crossed the threshold it warped into 3 separate buildings, she stopped and looked around, finally she decided on a building and walked towards it (magic dojo). she walked in a gaped, it was a huge library. she slowly walked in with a wide mouth. someone walked in behind her she turned to see Ryuu "Oh! Ryuu!" she blushed a little "Hi!, you did a good job in the ... the ... uh, the contest" she smiled "do you know where we are? some kind of ... of 'dojo' i think they called it" she looked around "it's a really pretty place" she saw another guy inside with them (Leroy) and waved shyly at him before returning her attention to Ryuu.

[i][u] - Ryuu - [/u][/i]
Ryuu walked up to the dojo of magic. Now, he personally expected a lot of weirdos to be bragging about how smart they were right in front of the entrance. Much to his surprise, there weren't those kinds of idiots.

[i]...Then again, maybe I'm thinking that my entire life is an anime. Of course not every academy with magic would have idiots bragging about how strong they are.[/i]

The otaku got closer to the building. Before he entered the dojo, however, he met someone he personally felt guilty in meeting in.

Ryuu rubbed the back of his head as he stopped in front of Andromeda. With a guilty look written on his face, the otaku simply mumbled,

"Uh... heya."

Andromeda was kind enough to actually congratulate him! He felt a little happy about that, actually. It felt better than being barked down by disappointed insults. When she averted the topic toward asking on where she was, Ryuu simply answered her,

"Well, this place is the 'magicka' dojo, or at least, that's how I like to call it. You can just call it a training ground for magic, though."

The otaku found the girl's awed reaction to the dojo quite adorable. It was something he'd see rarely in his life... except in anime. Thankfully, women invoked different reactions from him when they were three-dimensional instead of being made of pixels. Ryuu, feeling a lot more confident with the fact that Andromeda did not seem to mind using her time to cheer for a slowpoke like him, asked the fellow sunglasses-wearing student,

"So... you here to train as well?"

Ryuu thanked the heavens that what he said sounded too stupid to be a pick-up line.

[i][u] - Andromeda - [/u][/i]
Andromeda didn't quite like the way he looked guilty and it made her feel a little bad. she pulled at the strings of her bikini bottoms, but she'd done it enough that she didn't undo the bottoms, but she realized what it might look like so she pulled her hand away. she pulled one of her snakes down and ran her hands down it like someone would a lock of hair, at first it was about to snap at her hand but then it seemed to sense her feelings and stopped.
When he said "Well, this place is the 'magicka' dojo, or at least, that's how I like to call it. You can just call it a training ground for magic, though." she blinked "Waaah! seriously!" she looked back "wow"
then he asked her if she was going to train, she smiled and nodded "yeah, it seems i came to the right place, magic would be more useful to me then physical combat, i heard something about a firearms dojo too, i might want to head there later, as well, what about you Ryuu?"

[i][u] - Carmen - [/u][/i]
Carmen felt satisfied with a successful mock attack. However, she soon felt even more satisfied when Crash showed up. By now, she knew it was only a matter of time before Code Red occurred, and it occurred very quickly and very humorously. Carmen had an endearing grin on her face, trying (this time successfully) to suppress laughter. "Take all the time you need," she said with a playful streak. She decided to take the opportunity to ask the teacher about the three spars they had done so far. "Do you have any suggestions for me? I'm still pretty new to all of this," she admitted to the gas mask man.

[i][u] - Garden - [/u][/i]
Garden smiled at Sir Lion who like a cat rubs his cheek at her leg, she really like Sir Lion he was like a big protective kitty cat but can only...kill you... she and held hands with Little Feather. "This will be fun Lady Little Feather and I bet we will learn well from it too!" Garden said then pet Sir Lion and Sunflower. "You two make a cute pairing!" She said happily as she then looked at Sir Dani, smiling happily to him like a child at a playground. "I would like it if you join us Sir Dani but it's your choice." She said to him offering her other hand to him and giving a sweet and kind smile.

[i][u] - Cyber - [/u][/i]
Cyber was getting ready, he needed to train... no way he was letting that Alexandria bitch beat him. He started to practice some punches and kicks even though he was in a dress. "Hell yeah!! I can't any asshole out!!" Cyber shouted doing a fist pump. He looked at his dress thinking he might be in a disadvantage and opened his backpack there he still had a lot of clothes he could change into. He saw this really cute dress even though it wasn't really training gear he would love to kick ass with it. Cyber looked around to see a changing room and ran there, he remove the dress he was wearing and wore a [url=http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2012/022/9/0/mmd_halloween_queen_set_by_amiamy111-d4n9ncy.png] black and orange dress [/url] then came out. Even though it was sort near his thighs he made it really REALLY sure that if he kicked or jump wearing a short like dress no one will see his...gender at all. He walked again to Alistair and gave out a fighting stance. "I am ready!!" 

[i][u] - Zivon - [/u][/i]
Zivon waited for a while but then he looked at the three dojos and decided to see. He put the phone in his pocket and started to limp there, as he was close enough he looked wondering which one to go. "um...which one...what if I pick something that could injure me!? Or mental scare me!?" Zivon panicked a bit, making decisions was like life and death to him. He closed his eyes, shaking with fear he then started to walk near a dojo (magic) without knowing it and opened the door. It was amazing once he opened his eyes, a gigantic library, stone pillar, floating lights that leave a beautiful fairy dust! It was like the books he had read before. He didn't even mind other students were there, he goes near a shelf and scan through the books, he was an avid book reader and this was like heaven for him. "I never seen so many books!" Zivon said, he was enjoying this place but forgot it was a dojo for a reason. 

[i][u] - Crash - [/u][/i]
Crash propped his chin back atop his knuckles watching Carmen's new technique his eyebrow twitching up at the deceptive yet clever move, he ran his fingers from his jawline to his chin thoughtfully watching Kathy's reaction. Her reply to his jest made him chuckle to himself. [i]Pretty sure I just shot myself in the foot...I haven't mastered control over my clumsy nature[/i] He watched her glance travel to Tora again, he followed her gaze suppressing a small laugh as he realized how spaced out the teacher currently looked completely spaced out. "Your perception knows no bounds, ma chère" Crash jested maintaining his cheeky grin, apparently on a cheeky streak. "I have a theory he's way more...'academic' than he comes across" Crash added scratching his injury free cheek idly, as he glanced back at her he realized she had a slight flush to her cheeks. [i]Oh crap...knew I shouldn't have said that[/i] He lifted a hand to the back of his neck automatically adopting a somewhat bashful look as she waved her hands and called for a time out he shifted his gaze to see Carmen's reaction, catching the endearing grin on her face, made his cheeks color and confirmed his previous thought. He resettled his crimson eyes on Kathy as she pointed at him, he blinked as few times taking in what she had said before presenting her with his trademark grin another response flickering to the tip of his tongue he heard Carmen turn to Yutaka and ask a question. "I'm sorry, how am I distracting you?" He asked Kathy taking the chance given to him knowing he would probably pay for his cheek later. "I'm learning" He offered though his mouth had twitched up into a smirk.

[i][u] - Yutaka - [/u][/i]
Yutaka gently told the boy (Seven), "No killing allowed here I'm afraid. You'll have to deal with a very scary lady named Maria if you do." Laughing, he told him his name. "It's Yutaka or Mr. Ito by the way. Though if you'd prefer Mask Man, then I'm sure I can remember that much." He (Seven) wasn't the first student to give him that nickname and probably wouldn't be the last either. Now the slight troubling part about this student was that he said he wasn't even sure if he was training, and probably had no idea what he wanted to do. Well, that was basically putting two clueless folks in front of a giant puzzle. He waved over at Annie, hoping she would have some sort of idea on what to do. "Want to help me with this student?" He asked. "I'm currently helping out with these two ladies so I could use an extra pair of hands."

Turning his attention over to Carmen, Yutaka smiled. It was always good to see an enthusiastic student that was willing to ask questions. Though he tried to pay attention and approach them himself if he saw any particularly shy students, but there was only so much he could do if they weren't willing to ask for help when they needed it. "First, you'll want to keep your elbows closer to your body." He told her, pretending to hold a weapon in his hand as well as he demonstrated. First he showed how Carmen had swung her trumpet the first time, then did it again keeping his arms closer to his body. "It's a minor difference and it'll feel awkward at first, but you basically want to make the area someone can target as small as possible. You'll create less blind spots for yourself that way as well." Now since most people didn't know any better, it was generally very ironic to hear Yutaka suggest that people decrease the number of 'blind spots' when he was a walking example of everything you probably shouldn't wear into battle. One, all his masks would've greatly narrowed his vision if he was a normal human (though luckily for him, he wasn't). Two, all the fluttering and loose Japanese clothes he wore were perfect examples of clothes that were easy for opponents to grab onto and to become a hindrance when attempting to move quickly. Again, his abilities made up for the 'hindrance', but he probably needed to consider becoming a better example for the sake of the students.

[i][u] - Kathy - [/u][/i]
Kathy smiled and nodded gratefully at Carmen, thankful that the girl had decided to let her embarrassment slide instead of teasing her this time. There had been a hint of playfulness in the musician's voice, but that much she could take. If anything, it made her like Carmen more for her friendly nature. After watching Carmen go up to talk to Yutaka, she walked over to where Crash was. Catching the smirk on his face, she couldn't resist a slight poke at him. Literally. She brought her finger up and gently poked the bruise on his face. "Now I know guys don't care about their looks as much as girls, but don't you think you'll want to avoid hits here?" Satisfied with her mini-vengeance, she switched the topic back to his cheeky question. "Geez, you know exactly what I'm talking about." She let out a sigh, but the smile on her face seemed to imply she found his cheekiness more endearing than irritating. Shaking her head she continued, "Just what's with this evil streak going on with you today? Have you been influenced by someone?"

[i][u] - Darwin - [/u][/i]
Darwin tilted his head at Matt. Ranged training? Darwin loved ranged training. "Aw cool!" He said jumping up and down. "I'll join you, it'll be like we're ranged bros! You can be the brawn and I'll be the grains!" He grinned at the Phoenix. "Sounds cool right?"

[i][u] - Dani - [/i][/u]
"Apologies Dani, I didn't mean to startle you" Lion to Dani.
"Oh, it's just you." Dani said, then realized that that might have sounded offensive. "Not that I'm disappointed that it's you- I mean- I'm glad that it's you- I mean." Dani promptly shut his mouth. He was only digging his hole deeper, and that was the last thing he wanted.
"I would like it if you join us Sir Dani but it's your choice." Garden asked, offering her hand.
"Where are you going? You know, besides to train." Dani asked. "I heard the ranged dojo has archery, that might be fun."

[i][u] - Carmen - [/u][/i]
Carmen listened and observed as the instructor gave her advice. She hadn't been thinking at all about what her elbows had been doing, so it was advice that she was sure to heed from here on out. "Thank you, I'll try that next time," she responded to the teacher with a satisfied smile. "I hadn't been thinking about my elbows. It makes sense." This was exactly the sort of advice she needed, what with minimal fighting experience. Every tip she was given would elevate her fighting skill significantly. Briefly glancing over at Kathy enough to catch her grateful nod, Carmen couldn't help but grin. That pair was great fun to mess with, that was for sure. As long as Kathy would still have time to train with Carmen, she welcomed their awkwardness.

[i][u] - Crash - [/u][/i]
Crash’s smirk widened into a smile as Kathy approached him, he remained leant forward over the side, raising an eyebrow at her as she brought her finger up to his face, he winced as she poked the bruise on his face, his face falling for a moment. “Dededede easy on the face” He complained pouting at her as he resisted the urge to lift his hand to the nick on is cheek knowing it would only sting more, his eyebrow twitched up at her comment. “I’d rather avoid hits at all times, but I seem to be a magnet for that kind of thing” He grinned at her, crimson eyes dancing with amusement. He chuckled relieved to see her smile taking it as a positive sign, one that meant perhaps she didn’t mind his cheekiness at the moment. Crash leant forward on his forearms, his lip twitched up into a soft smile as he mused over her question.”You know I’m not entirely sure I do know what you’re talking about” He teased her further, feigning innocence although he visibly tensed as if expecting to be thwacked for being a git. "Have I been influenced by someone to do what? Be complimentary?" Crash chuckled at her questions. "If I was being 'evil'..." Crash started, lifting his hands and making quotation marks as he said evil, still grinning in his idiotic fashion he didn't however finish his sentence however as he caught Carmen glance over at Kathy and grin. "Never mind, I think Carmen's waiting for you" He pointed out, poking at her side for no reason what so ever. "Time to show off some more moves" He added, his mouth relaxing into a smile.

[i][u] - Kathy - [/u][/i]
"Haha, that's true." Kathy laughed, imagining all the injuries he probably incurred from his clumsiness alone. It was odd how she'd be worried if she saw Crash getting injured directly, but just imagining the accidents seemed rather funny. Probably for the same reason 'fail videos' were popular on the internet. She made a dramatic sigh as she shook her head, pretending to be exasperated with him. Not quite pulling off the right look with the smile and amused look in her eyes though. She now knew that he was older than her, but out of acquired habit, she reached up and ruffled his hair. Besides, he still acted younger than her. "I'll get back at you soon, just you wait." She grinned in challenge. Then nodding as she glanced over at Carmen she answered, "Yeah. I should probably get back there." Feeling the poke at her side, she moved and laughed, feeling slightly ticklish from it. "Hey!" She considered poking back at his side too, knowing he was much weaker with it than she was, but she decided to let it slide for now. "Stop procrastinating and get back to your own training as well."

Returning over to where Carmen was, Kathy made a sheepish smile and said, "Thanks. Sorry for keeping you waiting."

[i][u] - Melanie - [/u][/i]
Melanie watched as all the students went flocking to the other teachers. Wow...they were good. She sighed as she thought of a plan to get people ready to destroy the undead. he glared at the zombie teacher, she never cared for the undead, they were mindless killing machines who smelled like garbage. Ah well......she still had one way to get all these kids prepared for vampire hunting. She whipped a box of brownies from her dress and held them up in the dojo. "FREE BROWNIES!" She announced. "If you want to learn how to kill vampires come here.....for free brownies!" She smiled sweetly. Bribery always worked.

[i][u] - Crash - [/u][/i]
Crash grinned at Kathy as she laughed, one of his favorite sounds as of recent, he raised his eyebrows at her rather dramatic sigh as she shook her head, he found himself chuckling at her attempt unfortunately the smile gave her away a did that amused twinkle in her eye. “Oh really? I will wait with bated breath then” Crash noted the challenge, though there was curiosity present in his expression. “Probably” Crash agreed in a murmur though he didn’t sound overly enthusiastic. A rather playful look crossed his face as she laughed and moved away from his poke, he reached out to poke her again for good measure. “Oh do I detect a slightly ticklish area?” He grinned at her, quite glad she hadn’t thought or more to the point decided to pay him back for it. “Perhaps I can come join in with yours for a bit” He suggested cheekily having now made a motion to hop over the edge of Tora’s ring however in typical Crash style he caught his foot in the process which sent him toppling over to the side with enough momentum to result in him dropping and rolling towards Kathy and Carmen at speed, it'd be pretty impressive if they managed to avoid the clumsy shapeshifter 

[i][u] - Ara - [/u][/i]
Wanting to take a chance to rest after the Beach Olympics, Ara returned to his room. He instantly heard a voice coming from the mirror. [i]"Woah, what happened to you?"[/i] B looked incredibly amused, noticing the spatters of paint on his skin and hair. He had changed back, but hadn't bothered to really clean himself up from all the mess. "Stuff. You'll see when we switch." He answered. B looked surprised. [i]"You're going to switch with me now?"[/i] They had agreed that she would get her chance at nightfall, so she hadn't expected him to willingly trade places until then. But more than eager to take the chance up, she nodded her head in agreement. Placing a hand on the mirror, watching B do the same, they traded places. To an outside observed it would look like A just suddenly became replaced with B, the exchange occurring in an instant without any real noticeable transitions.

Ara (now B) smiled, happy to be out and get a chance to enjoy herself outside. "Hmm, not bad A. Looks like you've met a couple of interesting people." Rubbing her hands mischievously in anticipation, she changed from her usual dress into a pair of purple yoga pants and a white t-shirt. Walking over to the training area, she noticed a large group with some people she didn't recognize from A's memories. Curious about the lion with a small kitty on top of his/her head and the fact a few of the members of the group (Garden and Little Feather) were dressed different from the rest, she went up to them with a friendly smile on her face. "Hey there! I don't know too many people here yet so I was hoping I could join you guys for the training. Would that be alright?"
