Joy wasn't sure how she'd missed the gym in Deus. She'd been training and sparring and doing all the chores assigned to her but not once did she learn that there was a gym. And not the kind of gym that involved large bodies of people gathering for a lecture (she knew about that one the moment she pseudo-woke up.)
This one was furnished with the kind of gear and equipment she expected to find in those high-end exclusive work out places where membership fees tended to cost more than an average worker's monthly salary. All things considered, for all the weird s**t the people in Deus had to put up with, at least they knew what sort of stuff to buy.
She eyed the weight machines, wondering just how you went about adjusting them. The only equipment she was remotely familiar with was the stationary bicycle and that only made tears p***k at her eyes from nostalgia and the reminder that she could never go home again.Miliardo Kason Whenever you have the time~

: Joy was still standing at the door to enter the gym when Roland showed up, for a moment he just stood there tilting his head wondering why the girl was just lingering there.
"You okay? You look... a little confused?" He scooted around her tossing the fluffy towel he'd brought with him onto a bench before taking a seat to adjust his shoelaces. "If you're worried about the equipment, none of it as far as I'm aware has been runicly modified, though I guess anything like a tread mill might be since they're electronics. Dumbbells and pulley based things should be safe as long as you don't hurt yourself on the devices."

Joy blinked in surprise when another hunter walked past her and into the gym. She didn't realize she was still standing at the entrance and sheepishly moved inside.
"Err, sorry," she said while scratching at her cheek. "Guess I'm still getting used to life on Deus. But uh, can't say I've ever actually used much gym-equipments. Except maybe that," she gestured with puckered lips towards the stationary bike, which was looking more and more tempting to her as simply something to do to work off the embarrassment.
"I'm Joy, nga pala, err, I mean by the way."

Roland moved towards one of the one of the devices, it was the kind you would see in a family basement, not just one device but three or four put together. You could do legs, arms, and chest all in one.
"Trust me the Gym is the least weird thing you're going to run into around here. I've been here a few years and this.... is almost normal? Like a fitness center on a military compound or something."
Adjusting the weight he looked up as she mentioned her name, "Roland. Mist division. What group are you assigned to?"

"Good to know," Joy nodded, allowing herself some moments to observe Roland fiddle with the machine and then quietly stared at Roland himself. Deus had a plethora of good looking people and while Joy wasn't actively looking, that didn't mean she was incapable of enjoying the view. Wordlessly, she settled down into some stretches on the padded mat floor, making sure they were still within earshot, because it wouldn't have made much sense to have them yelling out at each other.
"I'm from the Moon," she answered with a grin, reaching forward to grab at her toes and stretching out the muscles in her back. "Hey, since you've been here a few years, any particular exercise regiment you know to help push endurance? Or do you get a specific training sched based on divisions?" Hey, she may have all this gear at her disposal but ******** if she knew how to properly make the most of them.
If left to her own devices, she was liable to push things to their limit and end up breaking something. Probably herself.

Roland wasn't bad on the eyes, his nose was a bit sharp tanned skin, he had a large scar on his right shoulder, it looked like something had tried to leave the whole arm off his torso digging into his chest. He didn't seem phased though going about sitting down and tugging the arm bars down above him before adjusting the weight a bit.
"If you're a moon the best thing you might be able to do is spar. Probably upper body too for trying to haul other hunters around, never know when you're gona be dragging a six foot tall tank of a person when they get their a** kicked."
He did a few more reps lifting the bars and hauling the weights, he wasn't ripped but it was clear he was lifting a bit more weight then what looked right for him. "The other thing. Is your weapon. I know a girl." He took a few breaths, "Her weapons are a pair of bladed boots." He kept working talking between reps, "She does a lota leg work cuz of it."

The scars didn't bother Joy, she had a small collection of her own all over her elbows, knees, and shins. Most were old, white and fading, some were the raised, hypertrophic kind, and one or two were keloids. She didn't seem to have any trouble with their existence because she was still wearing running shorts that exposed the majority to the world.
"I thought people should lift with their knees?" Joy asked, looking up from the floor. The grin on her face suggested she was half-joking.She paused to adjust the towel she had tucked in the back of her shirt. It wasn't the most glamorous of habits but it was an old one, hammered into her since childhood and damn if she was going to break it now.
She looked surprised to hear about the bladed boots, "Whoa, I knew those stilettos could be a deadly weapon but I never thought someone would make actual shoes into weapons. Guess that means lots of arm exercises for me." Joy went back to finish her stretching but found herself asking, "What weapon do you got?"

Roland paused that back comment, it was very true, he wasn't sure why he'd thought otherwise but then again he didn't do so much lifting lately. His only response was to shrug, "Maybe work both then?" He eyed her own scars curiously, they looked older, where they from before she was a hunter? It was hard to say.
"Weapons come in all shapes and sizes, some more normal then others. Candace is one of the exceptions in how unique hers ended up being. Even mine has a unique twist." He paused in his work out getting off the device before holding out a hand, the twisted form of the great scythe appearing before resting on his shoulder. "This is Sylvia, she's a scythe but she has another trick." He reached up grabbing the weapon by the figure fused into the blades, a quick twist and the weapon seemed to break, the twisted joins spreading out by a few small chain links letting him hold the tail end of the scythe like a club, and the top half like a sickle. "She and change into a whip that lets me fight closer up or even further away since a scythe is hard to use in some situations."
There was a pause, "She says hello by the way."

The moon trainee could only give a wry grin as the conversation turned to unconventional weapons. Yeah, she had one herself, but now that she heard about boots having a bladed shovel almost sounded normal. Blunt force trauma alone could yield lethal results, and when you add the bladed edge, well, all it took is good aim. Or a real lucky strike.
Practically folded in half from her stretch, Joy looked up to find Roland summoning his weapon. Brown eyes blinked. They were allowed to do that? Outside of the training fields? But she quickly supposed as long as they weren't going to actually use them it should be okay. She sat up and dug through her running shorts' pocket and produced a spoon.
"So weapons can like change forms too? Or just yours? And hi to her, too! You're lucky your weapon's friendly. Mine just sorta..." she then proceeded to make grunts and monosyllabic sounds "That sort of stuff. And I'm lucky to even get that! Usually he ignores me," she stuck a tongue out at the spoon before summoning it into its proper form.Miliardo Kason Joy is jelly of Roland's weapon.

Roland made sure he was standing in a nice row between the equipment, the last thing he wanted to do was damage anything. While he was able to summon his weapon it was actually frowned on due to the lack of dampeners and should only be done in emergencies.
"Only some. Like I said, each one is unique." He held onto the tail end of the weapon giving it a shake, a metallic sound of clanking chains snapping together filled the room as the scythe snapped back to its normal shape. With that the weapon vanished, a small scythe shaped ear ring appearing in Roland's left ear once it vanished. "Sylvia sings. A lot. She was a banshee so it's in her nature and fun fact, they can actually sing well, Banshees that is, it isn't all wailing unless they're attacking something." He smiled chuckling softly at her imitation of her weapons voice, "They grow on you, most do at least."
