Welcome to Gaia! ::

Caliban huffed a bit as he jumped down from the roof of the building into the alleway. It was a little dangerous practicing how he was on a nice Saturday afternoon, but he had wanted to test how different his powers made his parkouring and!... well let's just say he had bumped and fallen down a bit, underestimating the new strength that he had.

He had almost wanted to power down and continue that way, he was wearing his parkouring clothes after all in his civilian form, but he wanted to try and see if he could get used to doing one of his favorite past-times and use that ability in battle. The cuts, bumps, and bruises would be worth it in the end.

Right now though he was taking a bit of a break, just leaning up against a building, looking around to see what he could do to climb the other side of the building opposite him.

Caliban was a bit surprised when he sensed the aura of another senshi pop up suddenly, however, since it was another senshi like him, he wasn't worried about being attacked or anything. And it seemed that the senshi was coming towards him also, so he wasn't too surprised when she jumped down in front of him.

He smiled a bit at her, glad to see another senshi. "I'm just resting a bit. I've been doing a bit of parkour powered up just to see what the difference is between doing it ordinarily versus with the physical enhancements we get when powered." He lifted an arm to show her the cuts and bruises that were forming. "I haven't had the best of luck with it though." It was slightly embarrassing, but one had to practice right?

"I'm Caliban. And you are?" He wanted to get her name at least. Then he add another senshi to his "known" list of them.

Caliban smiled back at her. He was glad he could have a normal conversation with another senshi for once. So far ever time he had met up with one, it usually ended in training or fighting someone else. He wanted to relax at least a little bit.

"Nice to meet you Seiryuu." Interesting name that she had at least. He wondered a bit, holding one of his hands to his chin and moving his head back a bit, trying to figure out how to describe parkour to her.

He looked back at her. "Well... it's when you go through an area, usually somewhere in a city, and just try to get through it using whatever skills you have. Running, jumping, climbing, etc. You have to eventually get to the end point you set up, or just decided on. Usually you try not to stop too much, and you certainly don't want to trespass illegally." He replied, chuckling a bit. "That's sort of a rough definition of it though."

Caliban smiled at her enthusiasm. "Yeah, it's a bit easier during the day, at least with the sun, you can see more." He replied, chuckling a bit. "At night it can be kind of dangerous, but they have built some places that you can go and do it with enough lighting."

He pushed himself off the wall, brushing his back off a bit. "It is really fun though. I think it's a bit more fun to do it without being powered up. Being powered up almost seems to easy and you have to concentrate more on how little power you need to use so you don't bang into something." He looked at the bruises that he had gotten just today. It really hadn't been fun overestimating a jumping distance and slamming into things.

"You may miss stuff when not-powered, but I think it pushes you a little harder. I know when I do it I have to tell myself, I know I can make that jump if I just try a bit harder! Powered up it's like 'Well, how much power should I use so I don't jump too hard.' But..." He didn't want to curb her enthusiasm in case she wanted to do it while powered. "I believe it can be good to know yourself powered up too. It could be really useful if you're having to fight a Negaverse agent or something." He said. He hoped he hadn't dampened her eagerness for the sport. He found it incredibly fun and interesting at least, a way to test the brain and your skills.

Caliban was surprised, but wasn't unwilling to teach the other senshi a bit and nodded to her. "Sure. I'm always willing to introduce someone to it, though I can't guaranteed that I'm the best teacher for it. If you really want to get into it, there are more trained instructors that you can go to."

He got his senshi and regular cell phone out, the latter just in case she wanted some more professional training. "We can exchange information if you want and I can teach you in a better place for a beginner? I don't know if we want to go and try parkouring in alleyways just yet." It would be better if they started somewhere for a beginner. He was more advanced but even he was having a bit of a hard time doing it powered up and he wasn't sure she should start out that way. He unlocked his regular phone. "I have my phone number and a few phone numbers of more professional teachers here if you want to learn from them."

"All right then. I'll take your senshi info first." And with that, he waited for her to give him permission before he took her picture with his basic senshi phone. He was glad that it registered information automatically, it would be a bit inconvenient if it couldn't. "And here's my regular phone number. You can put it under Derrick." He said, almost to himself as he got his phone ready to take her information.

He looked back up at her. "Oh uh, my name is Derrick Keenan when I'm not like this." He told her, one of the corner's of his mouth curly a bit in embarrassment and nervousness. It was always a bit nerve-wracking meeting new people and exchanging info. There was always that awkwardness that came along with it, at least for him. He tended not to talk much to others and so when he finally did get close enough to someone to exchange numbers, he hadn't gotten enough practice exchanging numbers without somehow making it somewhat stiff of an encounter.

"Harley. Well, it's nice to meet you again Harley." He said, and after typing in the information he put his phone away and gave her a small smile. This was the first senshi he had encountered, or knight even, that he knew their civilian name. It was... well, he would say interesting, but then he realized that he wished he knew more senshi civilian identities. It would be nice to connect outside of being powered more often, however, he understood that not everyone wanted to give out such personal information.

He gave her a quick nod. "Sure, and then we can set up a time when we're both available." He almost asked if she was still in school, but decided against it, because even if she was, mostly likely they would still only have the weekends available for right now. "I'll text you later then. Once again, it was nice to meet you and I'll try my best at trying to teach you parkour." He would have to go a bit slowly with her, but that would be no problem.

And with that, he gave her a quick wave before quickly scaling the other wall and using a few flips to get onto the roof on the other side and off to continue his workout.
