Don't Step On The Flowers

It was perhaps little-known fact that lazy-assed Reno of the Turks made it a daily ritual since coming back to the island to make his way to the beach to train, every morning before sunup. This usually involved a stupid amount of coffee, yes. Which didn't hurt anything. It kept him from accidentally smashing himself in the face with his baton, or something.

He hadn't been able to sleep last night, and so he found himself out a little earlier than usual, alternating between dragging ass and hauling it, trying to get a decent warm-up in before the usual suspects showed up for their own training sessions. He had to look competent, after all, for both the Rookie and Ghanima, whoever came first.

Three steps forward, a dash to the side as quickly as he could manage without dipping into Ghanima's training. Send sand flying in all directions at a sudden stop, and then dart forward again.

He barely stopped before barrelling into the most freaky-looking hole that he'd ever seen, backpedaling like crazy with wide eyes to avoid the pull that nearly yanked him off his feet.

He wasn't so lucky with the one that opened right behind him.

So much for training, today.

[OOC: Just hopping on the establishy bandwagon! Mmm, holes in reality.]

Okay. So it had taken Reno more than ten minutes to pack, this morning. It wasn't entirely his fault that his bottle of whiskey had rolled under his bed. It just meant that instead of meeting Rude at nine, he was meeting him at about twenty after.

Nothing his BFF wasn't used to by now, he was sure.

( Sure he was. )

[Preplayed with sarcasm_guy, who is awesome like pie. NFI, And everything after Reno gets onto the chopper is NFB for liftoff and distance, thanks! I'm done being made of coding fail now, I think. O_o]

Reno was still grumbling as he tried to stare the chopper down. If he looked at it angrily enough, maybe the rotor would break and the gas tank would explode and the blades would all fall off.

( Tell me again why I'm doin' this? )

[[Once again, NFB, NFI, the_merriest is the bestest Rude in the world, establishy, OOC is pretty, BYOB, YMCA, I'm a little teapot, omg newbie day is tomorrow, eeeee.]]

( Rufus Shinra was many things. )

Somehow, he managed to stop laughing by the time Reno knocked on his door.



[[NFB, NFI, preplayed with the awesomesauce-on-toast the_merriest, who is absolutely the best Tseng ever and ever-a-lifesaver. Establishy liek whoa - especially given that Reno isn't even in this post. OOC comments, however, will be sprinkled with sugar and consumed with great joy.]]
