[OOC] Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

[Lady Seraphina]

I'm waiting on anyone else from PE to post before I do.

TentacleLord

I have a very bad feeling that that's the exact same thing everyone else in PE will say if I were to ask.

[Forsythe]

I'm waiting on just Kaithas *points* ;D

[Lady Seraphina]

As I said.

You know Sixmith,a simple game of basketball would have been sufficient.

[Lady Seraphina]

I feel like Sapphire's made a rather bad impression.

Too much training is actually counter productive. Maybe not for tanks like Ivan but for faster characters like mine.

Have you ever seen a body builder, they've got all that muscle racked up from the exact kind of training you seem intent on but they would fail horribly in sports like boxing. You know why? Because having all that muscle is actually impeding there body from moving the way it should. They can't extent there arms with sufficient speed and while they might have a massive amount of endurance no one that undergoes that kind of training would be able to swing themselves over a wall or do any sort of intricate climbing maneuvers. That kind of training gives you a lot of power but very little dexterity which is essential to most of the people in PE class at the moment. The characters that could afford to train like that took other classes cause there already that buff.

I saw this problem a lot as a Marine. There were plenty of giant muscle-bound meatheads who could barely run a mile. The protein guzzlers would just lift heavy with the sole goal of 'getting big' but their cardiovascular strength would fail as a result of not doing any cardio exercises whatsoever. I believe someone described it to me as the difference between muscle strength - how much a muscle could exert effort towards in one repetition, and muscle endurance - the ability for the muscle to repeatedly conduct an action over and over without tiring and with relatively good speed. EDIT: There also is a such thing as over-training, when you work your body too hard to the point where it goes into this emergency panic mode and begins to eat itself and break itself down in an attempt to keep you alive.

That generally happens when the amount of training your doing is disproportionate to the nutrients you are taking in. So if someone goes on an extreme workout routine without increasing there caloric intake or without consuming the proper nutrients that will allow there muscles to recover then the body will as you say enter a panic mode in which it will break down other muscles in order to free up the necessary nutrients. As far as exercise is concerned if you want to increase your endurance, speed, reaction times, and range of movement basketball is actually a pretty good way to go. Not that there is anything wrong with weight lifting of course but that is only if you are doing other forms of exercise along side it and taking a healthy enough break in between training different muscle groups. Anyways, Sixsmith, if you have us work out like that last OOC post suggests (I'm hoping most of it was in jest) then Sapphire is going to refuse and bring these things up IC.

Also due to lack of proper rest and hydration.

@Prince of Seraphs

It was merely me being funny. o_o Ahriman intends to push everyone, but not to the point they break. Since Beacon is an academy intended to train hunters, the regular PE course/syllabus isn't going to help these students. They're already fit and in shape because they're supposed to be warriors and stuff, you know? Figured his job as a PE teacher was to find out their weak points and help them with it, whether that be speed or strength or stamina or durability. He's the corporeal part of a pair, whereas Solomon is the mental one. If you understand. But then there are fun days because yes! :D

[Lady Seraphina]

Hey Shadowkiller, no offense but the band that you seem to be putting together seems rather short sighted and limited, the sections that you seem to have chosen to portray completely ignore string instruments which encompasses all of the instruments our class is currently able to play except the saxophone and harmonica. Sapphire's musical abilities are a huge part of her character and I'm not about to change that because you seem to think woodwind instruments are more important than string.

@Prince of Seraphs

Not to mention that guitar and piano tend to me some of the most popular instruments. (imo so are violins and cellos, but I hear more people picking up the former two) Also D:< D:< D:< D:< D:< I'm offended, seeing as I played trombone and, being the ONLY person who played trombone in my school band, I was fucking hella important. Fucking hella important. >:(

[Lady Seraphina]

What are complaining about? Your character isn't even in Music class.

Well the way I was setting up the band was specifically as a Concert Band. Instrumentation is entirely different and a music teacher trying to teach and conduct both a symphonic and orchestra band would be a lot of work to juggle. Caelia can teach the different music classes, just on separate days though. Caelia, Two days of Orchestra, Two days of Symphonic Band and one day of Jazz Band. (Going to think up a class schedule for Caelia for teaching). I can do that...if their is a sizable amount of people who sign up for Orchestra. Well I can not blame myself for being focused on Symphonic band instrumentation. I have been playing in Symphonic bands since 6th grade.

@Prince of Seraphs

Oh, so just because the matter doesn't concern my character doesn't mean I can't stick my foot into it? I'm pretty sure that entire issue is in the, 'How to be a Politician for Dummies 101' handbook. However, my concerns were in a very jesting, humorous manner, as noted by the copious amount of emoticons that I used in my previous post. But, you seem to be taking quite a lot of things I've been saying literally. You'll be getting snippy with me in the future if that continues, just saying. Now, a lot of things I say should be taken with an air of humor, because that's how I convey a lot of my thoughts, most of them, actually (it's also how I cope with various things in my life; laughter is the best medicine, aside from the polio vaccine, maybe). But, I mean, it's your call whether or not you'd like to take one of my post in a serious manner. I'll humor anyone who wishes to do so (get it? I'm punny. Or is that a double entendre? If we're to assume they aren't always sexual, I'm fairly certain it is. No, wait, I'd have to rearrange that sentence quite a bit for that to be true Uuuuuh). Anyways, I think you'll know quite well, however, when I'm being serious. I tend to type a lot and am ranty when I'm trying to be super cereal. The more ranty, the more serious—usually a general way to measure Sixsmith's levels of sincerity. There's also asking whether or not I'm being a humorous ass, in which I'll probably tell you honestly. There is no pulling the wool over people's eyes cause usually being funny is generally a way to seek attention in some form or manner. That or it's a way to be an ass without being a jerk (unless the jokes/pranks are harmful in some wat; I never intend mine to be). It's also a way to cheer individuals up. Or to help people, like Patch Adams. So, to answer your question, I'm complaining because I feel like it. And I'm also very passionate about my trombone. But, you know, Jayden doesn't need to be in said class for me to air out my grievances, whether intended to be serious or not. In this case, not. If such were the case, then we'd not be debating various things from what birthday gift someone likes to whether or not it's ethical to test on animals, simply because they don't quite concern us directly. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Also, Buffy the Vampire Slayer is intense. I'm fairly more concerned over Spike's feels with Buffy (and her rejection over him ;3; makes me wanna give him a hug. Spike noooo) than this issue with Glory. >_> There's only a few seasons left, like when are you two going to get together? >:(
