((*wonders if anyone is still on in here.... ninja * ))
Jade slowly pushed open one of the large double doors that were the entrance of Orion, just enough so that she could fit inside. Slowly she walked through the empty club and looked around, a tired, down look on her face. It was odd to see her without a smile, even when she was exaughsted. And Jade knew she was feeling down, and it didn''t help her feel better at all.
She sighed slighlty, her tail dragging, wondering what she should do.

She felt restless, and without anyone to talk to, it made it even worse. So, Jade finally decided to go and hang out in the stadium, maybe she could at least train a little to get her mind off of things. So she walked her way across the club and to the hallway, taking her time as she made her way to the stadium.

Eventually Jade made her way into the stadium, not even noticing she had made it up into the actual ring. She looked around, and nodded slightly as if in approval of the changes to everything.
Jade sat down on the floor and slowly took off everything she didn't need at the moment. Her boots first, then gloves, glasses, and jewlery. She paused for a moment and looked at the locket in her hands, before putting that down too, sighing slightly to herself.
"Guess I better do something before I get all depressed again...."
She jumped up easily, feeling about a good 50 pounds or so lighter without her boots on. A little bit of weight training never hurt, but she'd probably have to increase the weight soon.

Jade slowly started moving away from ehr pile of stuff, gaining speed and then running across the large battle ring. She jumped up and flipped in the air, bouncing off of her hands and flipping a few times against the tile floor before landing upright again. She didn't stop though, swiftly start to practice punches and kicks, speaking softly to herself as she did.
"Punch, kick, basics, combos, block, counter, submission. GO through the hand to hand tactics first, then work your way up to your ki..."

She quickly began to pick up speed, moving faster on the ring, moving from on postion and leaving an after image behind, then going back and attack it before it faded away. Jade knew she was pretty well rounded in most of her areas, but her speed was lacking somewhat. So that was what she'd work on first, by trying to catch the images she left behind.
Normally she'd be training another way, but she didn't feel like having to deal with herself at the moment.

((Yay! I'm not alone anymore! ^ ^ at least OOC!!))
Sweat dripped down Jade's face as she kept going, no matter how much her body strained or rebelled. She had to keep going, and push her muscles further if she wanted to get stronger. Thoughts raced through her mind as she kept going.
Why do I even bother to train like this? Caine will always be stronger than I am, so it's almost hopeless...no! I can't think like that...I have to beat him!
She thought back to when she last sparred, against Keno, but it was more of a mental awakening than a true spar.
Why do I fight....who do I fight for...besides myself? I don't have anyone...Even Caine and Taliman do...but I don't anymore...so why....
"Why do I keep doing this to myself!?!"
She yelled out the last part, punching down on the arena floor, sending cracks out in every direction from the impact. Jade breathed heavily, sweat dripping from her long hair, leaning on her hand slightly.
"Why do I do this....?"

Emerald eyes gazed at the other woman, head tilting slightly to the left side. Satomi had her presence hidden, unlike normal. Her slender form was clad in a combination of black and green, a nice mix. Her expression was of mild curiousity. Licking her lips, the girl hoped Jade wouldn't be angry at the sudden arrival. Well, not so much sudden over unexpected. With a silent sigh, theyoung woman let a bit of her energy to leak out to aware the other of her presence.
Today sh'ed begun training, figuring it was time again. Other then to keep fit, and for her interest, she had no reason. No longer weakened, Satomi had picked up it up. This time was different though, it didn't involve her totally disappearing for an extended amount of time.
<< Or IC! =O >>

((Double awesome!! xd So...will this be the official meeting IC between Satomi and Jade? Lol. ^ ^))
Jade lifted her head slighlty, noticing the presence of another for the first time. She had tuned out just about everything, so she didn't know how long the person had been there with her. Though...it didn't matter to her too much....
Slowly, Jade sat down on the ring floor, still sweaty, clenching and unclenching her right hand that she had smashed teh floor with. Her tail sat limply on the area behind her as she looked at teh young woman that was in the stadium with her. She blinked her jade colored eyes slowly, and then smiled jsut a little bit before lifting her left hand and waving slighlty.
"Hello there...."

<< It seems so. XD Finally. >>
A smile mirriored Jade's on Satomi's lips, chin dipping in a return to the wave. Pushing off the wall with her right foot, the girl unfolded her arms and walked forward. She was calmer then usual, more prone to being cheerful and appearing so. It was partly becuase of her training for the day, which required the ese of calmness. Satomi took it an wrapped it around her, to adjust.
"My name is Satomi. A pleasure to meet you." Hands remainig at her sides, Satomi gave her a bow, before lifitng to her. A friendly smile still curved her lips, mostly dispelling the politeness. A shake her of her head followed, shoulders relaxing a bit. The young woman eased up a bit, becoming less tense. There was no reason here.
<< Edited. Remembered they never exchanged names, Not to my knowledge, anyhoo. o o; Too lazy to look back.. > >;; >>

((Same here, lol. ^ ^))
Jade smiled back, too tired to actually stand up at the moment. She had been running around an awfully lot in the ring, and she had jsut gotten herself pretty frustrated, so someone else being here was actually good for the moment.
"A pleasure to meet you too....I'm Jade....don't mind how I look at the moment...."
She nodded back at Satomi, and laughed a little, knowing she probably looked like quite a mess at the moment. She slowly started to get up, stretching out her arms as she did.

Satomi laughed, shrugging one shoulder. "I looked like that earlier. Cleaned up a bit already." Training was indeed a lot of work, and she only looked decent at the moment because she'd retreated to the rooms to shower quickly. Shakig her head, the girl's hands rose to have her fingers spread out slowly. "I by no means, mind." Looking around, she glanced behind her at the door way.
"Well we cna stay in here, or we can head back out and let you rest." Smiling, her right hand came to rest on her hip. Satomi wouldn't mind either way, already having mostly recorved. The next day she was going to be sore, unless sherepeated the same thing early the next morning.
<< Oh well. =P >>

Jade smirked a little.
"I think heading back up would be best....I've had enough mental frustration for one night...."
Jade kept smiling and wlaked over to where she had left her clothing, crouching down and picking up her boots and small items, grunting a little from the weight of the boots. She looked at teh locket in her hand for a moment before sighing slightly, and putting it a boot for safekeeping for the time being. Then Jade turned back to Satomi and grinned at her.
"As for rest, I'll probably grab a couch later...sleeping in a tree last night didn't help me feel any better..."
She nodded towards the exit. "So, shall we?"

The young woman waited patiently for the other to gather her stuff. Emerald eyes slowly gazed upwards, before Jade spoke once more. With a nod and smile, Satomi began to follow. With an after thought, her head turned to face Jade. "There are rooms here, you can occupy. Just speak with Deity on the matter.." Hand lifting, she flicked a few strands of black and red strands away from her face.
A grin covered her lips for a brief moment, at a memory, before it faded back into an amused look. Memories were wonderful things sometimes. "Trees ain't exactly comfortable. I know.." A light laugh escaped Satomi, the girl sighing a bit. "Anyways.. bar for now? Or lounge? Either one is fine for me."

Jade nodded slightly, grinning a little and shaking her head at the fact she actually slept in a tree last night, right outside the club none-the-less.
"I've been meaning to....but he never seems to be in here when I am anymore...so I haven't seen him in a while...I was hoping he'd come in tonight..."
She sighed a little, realizing that in her long absence, and her infrequent visits, there were a lot of people she missed seeing in the club.
"It doesn't matter much to me either....but I think the lounge is closer..."
She smiled adn looked at Satomi as they walked. "I'm pretty sure I've seen you around before...but I haven't been in very often as of late until now...."
