Out behind the main dorm area, there is a large public gardening area for students to practice their botany hobbies. Use this space to study, plant, etc.; do NOT fight.

 As Yuri left the dorm and entered the garden he felt tension flow from his body as he looked over the garden area. After looking around briefly he moved forwards toward several bushes that interlocked to form a wall of sorts and with a quick breath dropped down and disappeared under them. The soft sound of sliding leaves and rustling branches would be present for several minutes before the garden grew quiet as Yuri went to sleep.

With a silent start Yuri awoke and slid from his resting place back into the open before brushing dirt off himself and heading to class. He would shower after PE and before he began his nightly routine. It was never good to get out of habit for too long.

Oddest named person you'll ever meet. With a slight yawn Yuri entered the garden and taking a deep breath and began moving slowly through a series of exercises for flexibility. Since he did not yet know if anyone would bother spying at this place the most logical thing to do was a gymnastics floor routine, he had shown that he was agile on the ship and it was a minor fact but now he could direct attention towards gymnastics instead of his true training. After all he just wanted something to elevate his heart rate and exercise his muscles, outside of swimming few things helped make him feel limbered up like gymnastics. He just had to avoid the plants growing in the area which would help sharpen his focus. Attention is on: Exercise.

Emma walked around in the garden, waiting for Candy to show up. It was so serene Emma almost lost herself for a moment. She looked around a little while she waited.

I had a nightmare...The Wolf eating The RavenCandescent VulpineEntrails of life on my plate...And I ate 'em..
  
"All my friends are in love with Satan
Though they'll never tell
Hands and feet they dance the moments
Floating over hell
If someone dies, it's no surprise
Their eyes stare back the truth
Cause we all know it's true
What can you do?
All my friends are in love with Satan
Though they'll never see
I swear their souls were made of coal
They'd tell you that for free
Oh god, it seems the worst of things
And I am one of them to
I love the devil too
And I think I love him more than you. "
Candy headed into the garden behind Emma. He looked around and smiled to himself. "Well now, this is a well taken care of garden isn't it? All the flowers, the trees. I'll bet they have employed a number of people just to keep this garden up and going. So, Emma, tell me a little bit about yourself as we walk down this path." Candy began heading off down the stone path. A little conversation would do them both some good.
"All My Friends are in love with Satan
Though They'll never tell
Hands and feet they dance the moments
Floating over hell
Oh god, it seems a tragedy
And I, I hate it too
I never wanted to, Be like them oh no!
Cause I don't want to be another lost, not a hope
Cause I don't want to be another soul to face the fire. "

"Hmm...I do enjoy nature a bit, flowers are always soothing to be around." Emma commented as he mentioned their surroundings. "Alright, what do you want to know about me?" Emma asked, she was willing to tell him a fair amount about herself, just not so much. "Almost anything has an answer to it." She said with an artifical smile since she couldn't create a real smile.

Yuri Tariq Wallace
Oddest named person you'll ever meet. Yuri moved into the garden smoothly ignoring others as he went deeper into the garden to a small clearing among trees where he could have some semblance of privacy. Once there he would begin his training to refresh himself on one of his preferred types of fighting. It wasn't his true specialty but it was a fun style that was the other reason for his limberness beyond gymnastics.
(Capoeira 1/6)
To begin he would simply run suicides in the clearing running as fast as possible from one side to the other until he felt his blood warming and began sweating slightly. It took a bit but the exercise energized his body and was a good distraction. Once he had worked up a light sheen of sweat he would slow to a stop in the middle of the clearing and begin.
(Capoeira 2/6)
With his warm up done, Yuri turned and remembered the basic steps of capoeira that he had already learned. He knew that one of the first things to do was find a rhythm that suited him, and once he had it he would need to let his movements flow into the rhythm. Then as they merged the body would react faster than usual because of the rhythm. So the first principle he had learned was rocking.
(Capoeira 3/6)
It was a surprisingly big part of capoeira based on shifting weight and was also an exercise that helped develop the sense of balance so that he could efficiently move and fight. The beginning was always simple as it just required him to slide one foot forward just a little and while standing on the balls of his feet shift his weight back and forth until he found a rhythm that he was comfortable with.
(Capoeira 4/6)
The final stage of the opening was just shifting side to side with the same rhythm. Yuri’s usual dirge flowed through his mind while he smoothly slid his right foot forward and began rocking forward and back with a casual sway that quickened as he matched it to the rhythm of the song for the dead. It was not something that would sound to most to be fast but the complex melody was actually formed of several smaller overlapping rhythms.
(Capoeira 5/6)
As he began integrating the smaller rhythms he knew that it was these subtle flows that allowed him to quicken the pace with ease as he naturally shifted his weight between the balls of his feet so that he was rocking back and forth at a steady rate. Yuri smiled happily as he found his rhythm and slid easily into the forms, he had no reason to practice the standard kicks at the moment because he finally felt ready to tackle two of the more difficult techniques that had eluded him in the past.
(Capoeira 6/6)
Yuri nodded as he shifted his stance and began rocking side to side with the same rhythm simply flowing back and forth until he had once again matched his rhythm to the timing of the dirge. Next he focused on the cycling of movements. Yuri moved from his right backwards though he shifted his weight to his left leg and dragged his right in slightly as his body flowed to the left next and his right leg stepped forward so that he could shift his weight in that direction next.
(Trimoon 1/5)
When he had first been learning he could always feel himself on the verge of stumbling as shifting his weight in the directions he had learned seemed to conflict with the movements of his legs but soon enough he had worked it out so that while his body moved in a circle his feet moved a slightly different pattern as they wove forward and back and he found that shifting his overall weight in a circular manner was dependant on slightly more complex footwork and part of his weight being constantly shifted back and forth between the feet. After several weeks he had found a method of moving around that did not trip him up but was actually surprisingly comfortable as it made him feel like he could move any direction in an instant.
(Trimoon 2/5)
From this stage he began transitioning into brief handstands in different directions and gradually began to hold the handstands as he twisted his legs in wide arcs like a break dancer. Some of these arcs would actually move him out of a handstand and onto his head or back but most were performed with the hands only to transition to the feet after one to two rotations. Yuri was relatively certain that he had the arm strength to pull off the trimoon and he even felt confident about his balance but it was his timing that he wanted to be on point for it.
(Trimoon 3/5). Attention is on: Reaching a new level of skill.

Yuri Tariq Wallace
Oddest named person you'll ever meet. With a frown Yuri moved into a handstand once again and from there twisted suddenly into a low spinning movement that shifted him to his feet as he unleashed a fast roundhouse at what would be shoulder height for most people. As he spun he let his body dip downward so that his head was a foot above the ground and his heel whipped through the air only to use the momentum of his spin to kick a second time and was about to try a third when inertia dragged at him removing the crispness from the third kick.
(Trimoon 4/5)
With a disappointed shake of his head Yuri tried again spinning downward with his torso as he kicked with his right leg and pulling close to his body to minimize the distance he needed to rotate for a full circle as he unleashed a second kick that was at head height and before he could lose momentum again used a shifting of his elbows and torso to accelerate the spin through the last kick aiming at chest height. He felt elated to have completed it and spun to a stop before rolling backwards and back onto his feet as he returned to the shifting dance like stand by form.
(Trimoon 5/5) Attention is on: Success.

Emma thought for a moment and made her answer. "You probably would have to see it for yourself, this has to do with my ability to ignore pain." Emma's marks all over her body are what made her practically souless. "I was raised in...a bad place. Most of my body is scared...here, here, and here." Emma made a circle with her finger around her abdomen, tapped that one spot on her left arm, and then pulled her hair back to reveal another, smaller scar. All of them were so colorful they could be mistaken for decoration. "Physical pain made me want to drive emotion from myself, but it made me stronger." Emma was done with that little story and looked ahead of her. "I'd show you what the other's looked like, but that'd be odd...anything else you want to know about me?"

"Ah, I understand. I have met another who is the same. You could call him a brother. You drive out emotion to make the pain easier to take. Without any sort of emotion or way to feel, you can take whatever hit you get and stand back up as if it were nothing." He smiled lightly to Emma. "Actually, I just asked you a question. If there is anything you wish to know about me, you may ask. We can go back and forth and make a little game of it."

"That is part of the reason. Actually, I came from a backwards little village that was very tightly knit. In this village, I was shunned, and this is the paint I had to wear to mark myself as such. But I never had any bad feelings towards being shunned. I rather liked the paint, and it was easy to scare the locals and just be a little pest." He chuckled lightly to himself as he thought about the past. "Those where fun times."
