Welcome to Gaia! ::

Upon going outside the main entrance gates you see a sign. The sign points you in the direction of an attendant. Beyond them is a maze of trees and underbrush, all brought in from the outside and trimmed to grow inside this floor. Windows provide adequate light to sustain the environment. The attendant motions towards you, pointing you to a map on the wall. You can see on the map what look to be several pools of water, as well as a couple of small clearings. "Here is the obstacle course. There are several pop-up targets for you to practice on, and keep sparring with anyone on the course to a minimum. Also, there are animals here. Try not to kill them." they inform you before sitting back down.

As with every section, an attendant is on duty which sits at the corner of the entrance near the refreshments. You can spot the small counter where large pitchers of drinks sit, cooled in ice. The entrance cordons off at an angle at two sides, to which there are doors. These doors in the back lead to both Men's and Women's changing rooms, which include showers.

Shagtsu walked up to the attendent. "Hello, may i start this obstacle course? And may I use my bo staff, or is it no weapons...?"

"Why thank you." Shagatsu went into the changing room and took off his shirt. He left all of his hidden knifves in the changeing room, besides one. He took all of his throwing knifves and put them into his sleeve. With amazingly fast precision he took one out, twirled it around his fingers and put it back up his sleeve. "Im an entertainer not a warrior... Haha.. Im a Gleeman of many kinds...", he though. He walked out into the obstacle course and looked around. Brush, forest, and trees. just like a real forest. He began to run towards the edge of the tree line when he noticed a small chipmunk run his way. it saw him and then zoomed up a tree beside it. Shagatsu kept running. He saw a black figure out of the corner of his eye and placing one foot on a tree, he shifted his wait and pushed towards the object. He quickly stepped to the side of it and swung low with his staff. It fell with a clunk. He kept running. Shagatsu went on for a while like this untill he was sweating heavily. His small frame was heaving with pressure. He finally came upon a long clearing. In the middle of the clearing were many trees, all in a line. the trees had plates on them in various places. Shagatsu took a deep breath and leaped forward. The first plate was very high up in the tree. he ran forward and jumped. Shifting his staff, he placed it into the ground and pushed. Bringing his staff over his head, he swung down with great might.

*CRACK*
The first plates shards fell into Shagatsu's back. Still running he saw the next plate on his right. His body filling with elation, he ran faster. He held his staff behind him in his right hand. He jumped and spun counter-clockwise bringing the wood down hard upon the next plate. He smashed a few more plates with simple swings of his staff. he never stopped running. He saw the last 2 plates were next. One was high up and one was in the ground and then after... the end. He ran up and with a flourish of his staff, rolled and struck the low plate. He then jumped up and with a front flip brought the staff down onto the plate with a lovely smash that reminded him of a skull cracking. He slowed down to a jog and went to the next course, the mountain obstacle course.

He was bleeding profusely from the glass on his back but he did not notice because of his joy and adrenaline...

Kenshin walks up to the attendent. 'May I use the obstacle? My weapon will be senbon's'

Kenshin shrugs and follows Solice. "What can I expect to see?"

Kenshin shuffles in his bag for weapons."Let's see here...I brought kunai's as well as snebon's." Kenshin shows them to Solice he inserts a few of each into his pockets.
