Welcome to Gaia! ::

who: Ronan, Amity, and Nell
were: Port City Athletics Club
when: afternoon, early january
weather: coldcoldcold

January was always an interesting time to work at a gym, it was when the relatively calm group of regulars swelled into a manic crowd of people who made a new year's resolution to 'get healthy'. But since she had her own clients to deal with she generally didn't have much to worry about as far as they were concerned.

Regardless, she kept an eye on the door whenever someone came in, not quite sure who she was supposed to be looking for, but from the call she had earlier, she knew that she was expecting someone at least. And from the Lab, no less! Maybe they would bring along their raevan! Or maybe they were in the same boat as her and were still waiting on theirs! Either way, she was looking forward for a chance to meet someone else from the Lab.

Fortunately enough Nell had spotted them as soon as Amity began to shed her winter gear, her ears a good enough clue that they were who she was looking for that she began to wind her way through the crowd before she spotted the tell-tale lack of legs.

"Hey! You must be Ronan, right? I'm Nell," she extended her hand with a broad smile first to Ronan, then Amity. "There's a rack over there if you didn't want to have to carry those around! What is it that I can help you two out with today?"

"Hmmm, that is quite the problem..." she said, nodding along as she tapped her chin thoughtfully. "I can look and see if there are any indoor climbing walls nearby if you wanted to keep climbing, but..." Her nose wrinkled in thought as she wracked her brain for something that would be energetic enough to work out her energy but wasn't boring and didn't need legs. Usually she would stick someone on a treadmill for a bit to at least work off some of their extra energy, but that would be kind of pointless in this case.

A triumphant smile spread across her face as her mind caught on to a solution, looking between Ronan and Amity quickly. "How much time do you two have? I think I have an idea that might work."

"Excellent!" she clapped her hands together almost triumphantly, gesturing for both of them to follow her as she headed towards the back of the gym. "One of the back rooms is open for an hour or so, so we won't get any strange looks, annnnd," she trailed off as she opened the door to the room, holding it open for Amity and Ronan.

"How do you feel about an obstacle course?" It would take some time to set up, that was for sure, but getting Amity (and possibly Ronan if he felt like it) to help carry things would count towards part of the workout, and if they wanted to keep coming back she could have it set up for them by the time they got here. And an obstacle course, custom built for Amity, would be able to be made so she could pinpoint things that she was good at or needed help with, and depending on how it was set up it could also be a good way for her to work on her problem-solving skills as well.

Plus obstacle courses were fun.

A grin split across her face as she watched Amity zoom around the room, seemingly quite pleased with this development. This certainly seemed like it was going to work, she was certainly enthusiastic and energetic enough. The room as it was wasn't terribly exciting, a line of stationary bikes were pushed up against one wall, there was a TV mounted on the wall in a corner, and a rack of weights underneath it.

For now, at least. "Well alright then! What I was thinking of was taking some of the equipment that's not being used," she explained as she walked over to a door in the corner, "And build something that would make you have to move in a few different ways to get around. Not that flying is a bad thing, but," she trailed off with a grunt as she heaved a pile of mats out of the closet and dropped them by the door. "But you gotta give your arms something to do sometimes, huh?"

A stack of stepping blocks used for aerobics followed the mats, followed by a rather large ball. "I can probably grab a few more things, but this is mostly what we have to work with, if you wanted to help me set something up you might have fun with this time?"

She glanced between Amity and the impromptu course a few times with a look of consideration, a foot tapping absently as she thought.

"Hmm? Oh! Yes, actually!" A few more moments of rifling through the equipment closet produced a pair of bands that she held out to Amity with a smile. "These are actually ankle weights, but they make wrist weights too, I just...don't know where they got put away to," she admitted with a small laugh. "But they're easy enough to find at anywhere that sells exercise equipment if you wanted to pick up a pair for yourself to use at home,"

But that alone, in her mind wouldn't be quite enough. There was a quiet 'hmm' from her as she considered the supplies at hand. Some way to move that would provide a decent workout while making her move in ways that she usually wouldn't.... Well, that could wait for a bit, at least.

"Did you want to help me set up something for now? We can set it up and see how it goes for now, and I can tweak it for next time if there's something not working."

Her foot continued to tap absently as she thought some more, nose wrinkling slightly as she discarded idea after idea. "A tunnel would be great! Lets start with some of these foam blocks first so no one will get hurt if gravity happens," she said, grabbing a few of them from a stack inside the closet. "But next time I might be able to rig up something up to the ceiling so you can really get some climbing done!"

That, though, would have to wait until next time, she reminded herself. For now she had to focus on the more limited materials available on hand. "Now this'll probably go for most of the stuff we're doing for now, but you should try and use your arms for as much of this as you can, not just your wings, okay?" she said in the direction of Amity as she began to stack the blocks in a vaguely stair like fashion, leaving an open space underneath for crawling. "Gotta build up those arm muscles so you can climb anything you want."

Nell wasn't going to bring up the fact that she didn't have much else to work on at the moment when she saw how enthusiastic she was about it all. The rest of could wait until later until the rest of her body grew in though. For now there was a challenge in front of them. The last few blocks were set in place, and she took a few steps back to look at the resulting pile with a critical nod.

"That'll do for now!" She was about to continue to give Amity instructions on how to climb all over this tower, but then the raevan's last comment finally sunk in.

"Punching bad guys, huh? Well, if you want to learn how to do that we fan work on that later, yeah?" She gave Amity a conspiratorial wink before gesturing over to the impromptu climbing station. "Shall we get started?"
