<< You know, I really think you need to find a better way to occupy your time with. >>
"And why," came the grunted out reply, Gale in the middle of doing sit-ups. " - would I do that? There isn't anything else to do on this island."
<< Read a book. >>
"Already read the two I have around six times."
<< Read the second one. >>
"Each."
<< Borrow comics from Bix. >>
"Been there, done that. My ears are still ringing from his constant chatter."
<< Eat. >>
"I did that five minutes ago."
If Jinhai had eyes to roll, Gale had a feeling he probably would have been doing just that right now. But the truth was, there was not much to go off of on the island; you made do with what you had, and what he had was a desire to train and therefore get better at fighting.
Considering he'd lost every single fight he'd had so far, Gale was quite certain this was a valid reason for training constantly.
<< You need, >> said Jinhai. << a life. >>
"This is my life."
Jinhai sighed.

Bored. So Bored. So bored so very bores. Stark white rooms everywhere, nothing fun to do, no TV. Otto wished he had brought more with him when he'd joined this place. Curse you, Past!Otto! The disgruntled blonde had his hands shoved in his pockets, stomping around the grounds of his 'new home', looking for someone to take his aggression out on.
He came across the training fields, and found himself some prey in the form of a guy around his age. Oh yes.
Ooh making more friends, Kiddo? Tenya piped up in a cheery tone. Otto sneered, approaching the fellow hunter with an evil purpose.
"Yo! You!" Otto called out, stepping up to Gale and giving him a swift kick in the ribs.
Yup. Otto is making all kinds of friends.

<< There's someone coming. >>
"Hmm?" said Gale, not really paying attention. "Who? Anoth - OW BLOODY HELL - !"
A foot - a foot wearing an unfamiliar boat shoe - had just connected with his side. Gale let out a bellow, arms automatically moving to cover his side, after which he turned his gaze eyes upwards, looking into the face of -
A complete stranger. A complete stranger had just kicked him.
<< Well, >> mused Jinhai. << This is, er...interesting. >>
"Can I help you?" asked Gale icily, still rubbing his now aching side. "Who are you, anyway?"

Otto smirked. What a wonderful reaction that was. The boy kept his hands stuffed into his pockets, looking down at Gale like a bird to a worm. "Yeah, you can help me out." Otto mused, his icy blue gaze staring, unblinking. "See, I'm new 'round here. And I just got a new toy. I'm itchin' to try it out."
The young man backed up one step, that ever present smirk painted on his features. "Wanna play the part of the punching bag?""

"Oh," said Gale flatly, eying the newcomer up and down as he pushed himself to his feet. "You're one of the hatchlings, are you?"
<< A very rude hatchling, isn't he? >> remarked Jinhai in a dry sort of tone.
Seems that way, yes.
<< Shall we play with him, then? He seems about your size and age. It would be a fair fight. >>
I'll humor him.
The ring on Gale's hand glowed brightly, the golden runes illuminating briefly before the ring disappeared entirely. Gale held out his hand and something long and white appeared, his fingers wrapping around the barrel of the sniper rifle. Pulling it up, he rested it against his shoulder, his other hand on his hip as he smirked at the newcomer.
"The name's Gale."

Ugh, Hatchlings. He detested that word. Made him sound like some kind of baby bird. Otto's smirk faded, replaced by a scowl. He watched as Gale got himself up, and summoned his... sniper rifle? Really?
Otto sighed haughtily, flicking his wrist and allowing the runes on his bracelet glow bright. It faded, the form of a ridiculously over sized boomerang taking it's place in Otto's grasp. The smirk returned, followed by a narrowing gaze. "Otto."
Swiftly, he lifted hoisted the heavy object up and slammed it down toward Gale.

It was actually somewhat amusing to see the expression on Otto's face shift from cocky arrogance to one of irritation, clearly annoyed by the nickname that Bix had dubbed the new recruits. Sad to say, however, it was sticking - the old trainees had already labeled them, and it was a nickname that would most likely stick.
That, along with "strays," though Gale still wasn't entirely certain where that had come from, since Ben had not explained it.
"Nice to meet you, Otto," he replied, then darted to the side, wincing a bit as the enormous boomerang slammed down onto his left shoulder. It was merely a glancing blow, but it made Gale stagger off balance anyway. He didn't really try to hit back, instead lifting a brow.
"Interesting weapon you've got there, haven't you?"

Otto grinned for a split second as his hit connected. Oh yeah, he could get used to this!
He returned Gale's comment with another smirked, winding up his weapon for another hit. "Yeah, I lucked out. It suits me." He stepped forward suddenly and slammed the weapon down again.

Gale sidestepped the next blow, Jinhai making a small noise of amusement.
"I've never seen anything like it," said Gale truthfully, eyes traveling up the length of the enormous boomerang. "And I've seen quite a few so far. It's quite interesting, I must say."
He lifted the rifle and aimed for Otto's leg.
Bang.
"Tell me; how exactly do you throw it?"

Otto lifted his boomerang back up again after his attack was dodged, eyeing Gale wearily. Nothing like it, huh? So, Otto was the special snowflake of Deux Ex? Fine by him.
Otto yelped, and bounced back some after being shot in the leg, curling his lip and grunting. How does he throw it? Oh.. oh he'll show you how!
The irritable teen sneered and winded up, flinging the over sized weapon in an arc toward Gale.

This time the weapon did hit Gale, colliding against his side with a dull thunk. Wincing, he staggered sideways, holding onto his torso, then shook his head, his gaze flickering back to Otto.
"Ahhhh, so," said Gale thoughtfully, walking around in a slow circle. "Does it always come back to you then?"
He raised the gun again, squinted through the telescopic lens and shot at Otto's other leg this time.

Otto smirked, though the way he'd thrown it had the weapon skidding back to him rather than flying like it should. Oh well. This was a bigass boomerang. It would take practice.
"Depends on how it hits the target, I guess." Otto drawled back, inching his way toward his fallen weapon. What was with this guy? He was way too calm. He yelped again as he was hit with another decent blow to the leg, staggering and losing his balance.
He used his hands to break his fall, crawling toward his weapon. Once grabbed he ran toward Gale and chucked it into the air again, hoping for the perfect angle.
Practice practice practice~
Shut up.
The Boomerang swooped over the target, and came back to Otto, catching it it with both hands, skidding backward a bit from the force. "Or when it misses.."

"Is it hard to throw, then?" asked Gale curiously, tilting his head and slanting a glance at the boomerang. He could remember playing with smaller versions of those as a kid, but one this big...Gale could only imagine just how much harder it would be to pick it up and chuck it.
He ducked automatically when it came towards him again, and the weapon soared inches from his head, flying back towards Otto's hands.
This time, when he shot, it was at one of the hunter's arms.

THIS KID AND HIS F**KING AIM!!!
Otto nearly dropped his weapon from another direct hit, seething and hissing through his teeth. Okay, okay this kid was going down! Otto picked up the Boomerang, and charged the hunter, using it like a club once again.
He winded it back and thrust it forward onto Gale.

This time the enormous boomerang actually hit its mark. Gale felt himself thrown backwards several feet, throwing his hands up automatically to guard his face.
"Ow," he protested, rubbing his midsection and gasping for air, completely winded momentarily. After a bit, however, Gale dragged himself back upright, a grin on his face.
"Nicely done."
Then he promptly spun the rifle around and thwacked the butt of it into Otto's stomach.
