And there, she thought as she flopped down on the ground, for a long moment she just laid there, face on the ground, and let herself breathe. She couldn't go on. She definitely couldn't go on. And guess what, she thought as she slowly rolled onto her back, he was going to make them run next.

Yay.

That was it. No freaking more! Ryan immediately flopped to the ground. Too tired to move. It would take someone to pry him off the floor to get him to stand again, because he was not budging an inch!

Was everybody done now? Ofelia was huffing and puffing, she wasn't going to lie and say she wasn't, but she still managed to push herself to her feet and stretch her arms over her head. If anything other than being tired, she felt more energetic and healthy. She needed to catch her breath in order to keep going but at the very least she wasn't willing to just lay on the ground like everyone else.

"Um, y'all might wanna get up. We gotta run now, right? Maybe?" Ofelia didn't know.

Ryan turned his head just enough to look up at Ofelia.

Good God. What was she made of?

"R..right this minute?" It took a lot of self control to keep himself from sounding like he was whining. He did not want to run right after that! Ofelia may feel alive and healthy, but Ryan felt dead. Dead dead.

The sun on Ofelia's jacket moved as she turned and kept stretching, her breathing still sort of labored even if she was totally trying to act like nothing was wrong. She was in her flip-flops, running might be a bit hard. "Well, not right at this moment, but ya should try ta stand anyway? Layin' down when yer winded ain't good fer yer lungs, an' ya need good air if ya wanna have yer muscles stop hurtin'. We all probably should'a stretched b'for' we started too, but meh. Hindsight."

Stretching now would help, right? Ofelia grinned down at Ryan, motioning with two fingers for him to get up.

"Running?!" Ami squeaked in between gasps for air. "Allan wouldn't ... make us run after ... that." More air SHE NEEDS MORE AIR, "How do you know .... we're going to ... run."

Ami hadn't seen the paper Allan had been holding, and it was probably good that she didn't. She probably would've just walked out of his room and enjoyed her life as a trainee. C'est la vi.

Ryan pretty much caught on to her sentiments. Dead dead dead.

"Well, Ah dunno if we're gonna be running, but yanno, Ah wouldn' doubt it? Or jus' put it pass Allan-tiechew." Ofelia looked at the girl wheezing on the ground. "Also, seriously, put yer hands on yer head and breathe in red, out blue. It'll help ya catch yer breath quicker." Ofelia mimed the motion, placing her hands on her head and breathing in and out. Her adrenaline was pumped and she was shaking with a need to sit down, but she didn't want to sit down.

She had to be stronger, she had to not show any weakness. She was a sun hunter after all and was here in front of her boss. She needed to look good, if not just an idiot.

Rin ignored the nattering and took a light nap till Allan was damn well ready on his own to lead them forward.

Unfortunately, Rin would probably have set the record for shortest nap in history of Deus, if it were not the fact that Allan took a few seconds longer to retie his new shoes. If he noticed the trainees being exhausted at all, he simply and most likely considered it to be what practically every single Sun Hunter lead in history thought of exhaustion: that it built character. And inner strength.

"Okay, next up on the list, ten minutes of running! Go trainee-tachi go!" Wait, if they had read the pamphlet right, it said that they were supposed to be running around Deus Ex, not inside it. And as far as any respectable trainee was concerned, it was pretty damn obvious that they were still inside Deus Ex.

That is until Allan picked up Ofie and pretty much threw her into the closet. No really, with the trainee grabbed by the waist, he picked her fully off the ground as if she weighed nothing, kicked open the nearby closet, and threw her in. Before any trainee could even wander what the heck was going on, they felt unfortunately the same treatment. Next was Rin, then Ryan, then Syd, and finally Ami.

Thankfully, the trainees did not have to spend a long and fruitless life wondering why they were stuck in Allan's closet for eternity as on the other side-

- Well, it seemed like they were outside. In fact, it very much seemed like, from where they were standing, they could see in full sight the Lighthouse portal and the beach below. A small path wound down the main gates where they were standing into the area known as the Abandoned Town, more avoided now due to the vicious Insanity post Four Clans invasion.

What, what just hap-

"Allright! Part two of the nakama exercise. Everyone will be running a full lap around the campus!" Allan paused. He felt like he was forgetting something. Oh, right! "And, you have ten minutes!"


OOC: PART 2


- Apparently he really was serious. Oh god oh god. You're not going to sleep straight for a week. Maybe a month. Maybe you should have told your weapon that you loved it.
- Well, now is not the time to complain, better start running.
- The entire perimeter of the main facility walls that contain the facility known as Deus Ex Machina runs approximately 3 miles. The problem however, is the incredibly rugged terrain that the facility is perched on, being a natural fortress of sorts. That means, there are no real paths that go around the walls. In fact, just trying to get from point A of wall to point B of wall is going to take some extreme skills, some that even mountain climbers would probably envy. Yeah, good luck.

RUNNING AROUND THE PERIMETER:

- To complete the entire lap, you will need to run 3 miles. Roll a 100-sided dice and match your dice roll to your results. RP it out. When you have hit a cumulative total of THREE MILES, you have made it to the end! Congratulations.... you can pass out now!

1 - 20: You huff and puff and reach.... a steep steep cliff. Only quick thinking of not jumping off the edge saves you from a fall of doom. Slowly, you climb down the side, nearly slipping and still falling to your doom. At least you made it... + 0.5 miles.
21 - 40: You reach a shall cliff going upwards... it looks really dangerous to scale. This looks like a dead end, you'll have to try another route around.
41 - 60: You huff and puff and reach what seems like a beach area. Thankfully this part is an easy run. +1 mile
61 - 80: You reach a stream of water - unfortunately the water is moving incredibly fast and can easily push you away. It looks like you're going to have to find a route around.
81 - 100: You manage to find a slightly rocky path, but it is true enough as it leads you around the ramparts. Phew! + 1 mile.

Did Ofelia forget to mention how much she loved Allan? Because if she hadn't mentioned it before she was certainly going to do it sometime soon. She was still stretching when he grabbed her about the waist and lifted her like a doll, throwing her into a closet that lead her somewhere else. She might have been giggling the entire time but who knows, all she knew was it was now indeed time to run.

Her shoes had to come off, that was a natural given, so she pulled the string she'd used to tie her hair up out and laced it through the thong-section of her shoes, tying them to her hip. The bottom of her feet still were tough from all the years running around, no matter how long a time she'd been at Deus and wearing shoes. (If anyone said anything to her later about it she'd chicken kick them). A few slaps to her face got the blood rolling, and she started out running.

The whole place was weird, she didn't know where any of it was, and the end result of her inability to navigate had her at a cliff's edge. There was no way in hell she was going to get up that, even if she tried, so the teen sighed and looked for another way around.

All she had to do was remember to breathe, to pace herself properly when running. Ofelia liked sports, even if she was clumsy sometimes (that was from not paying attention mostly) and all of her stretching after the sit ups and push ups had her breathing decently enough. She wasn't too winded, she wasn't too sore, and as she run along she found herself humming a tune to keep the air properly going.

It actually didn't take her long for her feet to hit sand, a beach perhaps, and it felt strange under her toes. She giggled as she kept going, the ground so different it was a bit harder to do. None the less it was a welcome change, she liked this outdoors stuff, and Ofelia kept on moving.

Running? You had to be-

OH MY GOD SHE WAS FLYING THROUGH THE AIR INTO A CLOSET WHAT WAS GOING ON WHAT WHY WAS ALLAN SO STRONG DAMN BOY THAT'S JUST-

She landed face first in a pile of sand, which got everywhere in her long hair and all over her cute dress. Not cool Allan. Not cool at all. She'd get you for this.

Either way, she didn't mind a jog. If it was a nice day.

Which it wasn't because she'd just done a MILLION pushups. Seriously, she'd get you.

Ami sighed and started jogging. There was nothing else to do after all.

Once she got at least somewhat adjusted, Ami was actually kind of having a good kind. The sea was somewhat bright and sunny (as bright and sunny as Deus got anyways ...) and the smell of the ocean was actually somewhat refreshing. Sure she'd been out here a few times before, but not like this.

Overall rating?

Running in flats was no easy task. She was glad she hadn't worn her wedges today as she was planning to earlier, but it still wasn't entirely pleasant. It was starting to wear on her.

Even worse was when she came to the river. There was an enormous gap in the sand, and she thought about maybe just going for a swim, but there was no way that was happening.

Not in this outfit, chica.

Ami decided to regroup, even though she was panting and had about the eightieth sideache today. ******** exercise. After this she was going to eat ice cream and cry more about her lost room.

She was running on rocks now, not that Ofelia seemed to care, and she kept humming that little tune again and again as she went about her business. It was no big deal, it kept her breathing even, and when she hummed she couldn't hear Rue. She could only hear her own voice, something that was comforting.

Always comforting.

No, she wasn't going to think like that. Not now, not ever.

The end result was her covering another mile without even knowing it.
