Getting to know you

[pushesgently]

Who: Any/all strike team members
What: Training/mingling/SNACKS
When: Day 473-474
Where: The Citadel

[From the outside, the small medieval-style fortress appears unoccupied, but on the inside, the first meeting of Asgard's strike team. For the next two days, members are invited to get to know one another, share what they can do, train, or...you know, team build.

For those who wish experiment with working together, equipment has been set up to form an obstacle course of sorts that takes up half the gym area. (Those who have trained with the Assassins on their capture-the-flag courses may feel the similarities.) Plenty of seating is available for those who just want to mingle or talk strategy.

There are also snacks. Eat them.]

Okay. [Tris nods. Pulling herself up isn't terribly hard, but it would be good to be able to do it with one hand...]

Anything I should keep in mind for it?

( she hesitates for a moment, and then shrugs. )

It takes work. Don't expect instant progress. Do as much as you can, as often as you can - you'll surprise yourself one day, when you need it.

I can already do a few, probably. [Not that she had trained for it particularly, but she figured being able to pull herself up anywhere with just her hands was as good an indication as any.]

Any pointers for how to make my landings softer? I feel like I make a lot of noise. I mean I'm not loud, but in comparison...

[In comparison she feels like an elephant in a china shop. She shrugs, half shrinking into herself.]

( she nodded, running a hand through her hair as she thought for a moment. landings. how did she do landings again? some of it felt like second-nature by now, so it took her a moment or two. )

Do you land on your feet or do you roll? As a general rule, tumbling is quieter; especially on surfaces that are grated. It takes practice and you'll earn more than your fair share of bruises, but it's worth it.
