"The name's Ronen." He looked around. There were two other trainees who had arrived. They were all new by the looks of them. He hadn't realized they would be moving in so quick. Classes were sure to be starting up soon; Ronen would certainly be busy. He was older than all of them. But then, he had also worked for this faction of Kaliedo for some time. He knew the ins and outs of every building, so it would be likely he would get many questions with all the trainees pouring in.
((@.@))

Shima stood up, tucking the small rectangle thing into her jean pockets, her jeans on the rack.
Wow. I knew the Kaleido star equipment was good, but this is much nicer then my small one at home. In comparison Shima's one was small next to Kaleido Star, but big for some others.
Glancing up, Shima decided she would try the trapezes first. She passed by a red haired guy, avoiding disrupting his stretches. She glanced at him, and went on.
Ascending to the top, Shima sat up on the platform for awhile. She admired, how high it was. The net was automatically there, so she wouldnt need to worry too much about falling.
It was nice up here. Alot cooler, and she could see how small the trainees were in such a big room. Dangling her legs, she would stay there a bit longer before doing the trapezes. She decided this was her new favorite spot.
The trapeze Shima went on often, but only to practice swinging and turning at home. Past that, she had absolutely no clue about the trapeze. THis was was different from the one at home though.
(( Does the RP prompt apply to our RPing? I dont think so.. x__x;;; ))

((I have no idea...I'm still trying to think of what I want Arahila to do and I'm leaning towards having her be a contorshinist (sp?). I'm just going to reply when I see something to reply too. Maybe we should have everyone interact in some way so we have something to reply to instead of almost seperate RPs in one thread?))  A grin found it's way to her face. "Ronen. That's a nice name." Pulling her body out further and into a full split she turned to look around. "Wasn't there just another girl here? I could have sworn I saw...oh!" A movement caught her eyes and Arahila lifted her eyes slightly, seeing the girl high above her on the trapeze swinging her legs. Arahila had never been up on a trapeze or highwire before and wondered if she would enjoy it all. Actually, when she thought back about it, she couldn't ever really remember doing anything that involved heights.

It was automatic, as he saw the girl climb toward the trapeze, he ended his stretches and started checking the loops for the net. As someone who'd only recently tried rope dancing, safety was still the freshest lesson in his mind. He went to each tie-down, there were six total. Three on each side. He didn't know if she was sitting there to just get in the zone, or if she was waiting for him to finish. Perhaps she hadn't even noticed him doing it if she was concentrating really hard.
After checking the last one, he went around until he was on the end closest to Arahila. He flashed her a grin when she gasped. "This could be entertaining, whether she's good or not." He had a bit of a dark sence of humor, and since he'd checked the ties he knew that a fall wouldn't kill her. So he found it all quite humorous.
He gave the girl on the platform a thumbs-up. If she had noticed him checking the net then he figured he'd let her know all was well.

Arahila stood up and dusted herself off from the floor, a natural reaction. She moved alittle closer to the net and looked up at the girl. "I wonder how good she is..." she half commented to herself and half to the boy next to her. "I've never seen someone up on a trapeze in real life. It looks really hard." She turned and grinned at him alittle as he finished tying off the net. "Do you work here as well or are you a trainee?"
((Sorry if it was short...))

Shima glanced down, only to see a short movement down there. It appeared.. the guy down there was checking the tie-downs?
As the red-haired male gave her a thumbs-up motion, although hardly seeable from her view, she grinned at him.
I suppose I should of thought of that. Glad to know most of these trainees are well.. knowledgable? .. She couldnt find the exact word.
Pushing herself back, up, she took a deep breath. First, a couple of swings to the other side to get used to it. Then a couple of turns. After all, it wasnt like anybody was judging her right?
Shima grabbed the bar pulling it towards her. She tapped her foot, to go on the count of three.
1..2..3..~!
She pushed off her feet grasping the bar as she felt herself sway forwards. A rush of air came towards her, as the familiarity of the trapeze took over. She swung back and forth to create an easier time to jump. The higher she swung the easier it would be to jump. She did a verical flip on the trapeze, trying to do it severel times in a row before she attempted to jump to the other one. She was successful in the flips, but it was a tiny bit slippery, not unmanagable though.
This one was relatively easy to use, like new and in good condition. Her borhter's friend's one was old and rusty. Relatively easy.
As Shima swayed forward, she leaped up to grab the other bar .. and felt herself falling. .. Well the distance in between was farther then she thought.
Sitting on the net, she called out down below.
" Would anybody like to do a double with me or try? " She grinned waving.
It was great being on the trapeze. She hoped she didnt sound overly cocky, her only intention was to try with somebody else for the fun of it.
(( Just if everybody wants to know, Shima's horrible at the trampolines ;3 She makes up for some of it in the trapezes but it's not enough. xDD ))))

Arahila was amazed when the girl took off, soaring through the air and she made it look so easy. Then she had started to do turns and it was awe-inspiring to Arahila who had never even seen a trapeze in real life, never mind see anyone actually on one. When the girl had fallen she had found her mouth wide open.
How could anyone do that and not scream on the way down?! I would be terrified.
It did look like fun though. Being able to defiy gravity in some ways. Maybe it was worth the risk of falling. As these thoughts raced through her head she was brought out of her own mind when the girl spoke to them.
JOIN HER?! I don't even think that I could make it up there never mind on to one of those tiny bars!!
Her eyes betrayed her curiosity though and the next thing she knew she was asking the boy next to her if he thought that maybe she could try. "Umm...I've never been on one of these before. Would it be safe for me to try?"

Ramajan watched with an expressionless face. If he was enjoying the performance - or critiquing it - was difficult to tell. He head bobbed slightly to follow her flips, and then slowly tilted down as she fell, adding a soft "Thunk" sound-effect of his own.
He gave a self-satisfied smile that the net had been safe, even though it had been properly tied and all he'd done was make certain of that. He turned to look at the girl beside him - Arahila, he realized he didn't know the other's name - and was about to suggest she climb on up when she spoke first.
He nodded. "The net will catch you no matter what you do. The worst that'll happen is scrapping something from landing wrong." He wasn't about to suggest himself, sure he'd done high wire and rope dancing, but he'd never done anything like jumping from one aerial apparatus to another.

Well, it seemed like the girl might go.
Shima crawled off the net, and back on to the floor, to get back up the trapeze again. But she stopped and headed to the pair near one of the tie ropes, close to the other ladder leading up.
"Would you like some tips before you try it? " She didnt know her name, but she hoped the other girl understood who the comment was directed at.

Arahila gulped slightly and began to shake a bit. She hadn't really considered doing it.
Well, like he said, it's not really like I would get hurt. I mean, there's a net after all!!
She walked over to the other girl and gave her a nervous smile. "Tips would be nice. I've never tryed anything close to this." She hoped that they would start of with something simple, maybe just swinging, but a piece of her really wanted to try flying through the air like she had seen the other girl do. Wait, she was about to try the trapeze with a girl whose name she didn't even know...something just told her this wasn't the best idea that she had ever had in her short life.
