Appointments Post

This post can be used to thread with or get in contact with Gai at any point when he doesn't have a post up! Just comment here (please use the format [Action, June 24th], [Voice, March 5th], etc. to make it clear when the thread is taking place and what type of thread it is) for a thread with him; if it's a continuation of another thread or post, please link that so I remember the context of the thread.

[That experiment had been the last, bloody, straw. Not only did he learn about the volunteers setting off a bomb and sentencing the cultists death the night before, but, he went and blabbed some of his very few well kept secrets to some of his friends the day after.

Damn it, he hated this. He was so sick of it. Why was he just always being thrown about in this world? Why as his hero face becoming so much harder to keep glued on over all his unimportant problems?

All that raw emotion stewing inside, the anger, the frustration, the sadness of it all has just made him run off to the battle dome for a bit.

He wants to siphon his anger out and he'll do that by hitting some moving targets for awhile. And when he's in and programming some of the targets, he tries to remained focus on the terminal, trying to cut out all other noise for the time being.]

[Gai being Gai, he has a tendency to peek in at everyone else who is using the Battle Dome at the same time he is. Just information gathering, seeing what sorts of things others set up for their simulations and what they're capable of. Knowledge is power, and this is an easy way to gain a little bit of that in the process of his own daily training.

He recognizes this particular boy as the one who had caused such a fuss when he'd announced the results of the mission not too long ago. The one who reminded him of Shu in the most infuriating way possible. It's tempting, so tempting, to say something to interrupt him... but he won't. That wouldn't accomplish anything other than getting Cross even more pissed off at him.

So instead he'll just stand outside the room and watch silently, assessing Cross' skill level. The look on his face is not a very impressed one, though.]

[Wow, Creeper much?

The simulation he keeps on making becomes more and more complex the longer he stares down at it. It's almost another ten minutes before he is finally satisfied with what he's got.

He turns to leave the controls and when he exits, he abruptly stops when there is a much taller person in front of him. He turns his head up to get a glimpse of the person's face. Instantly, his face sours and his anger intensifies seeing this certain blond guy.]

You want something?

[His words are even laced with a noticeable poison. It's all he can manage to not make it sound like a growl as he asks.]

[That tone in Cross' voice just makes Gai's lips curl up into a smirk. There's a perverse sort of satisfaction that comes from the knowledge that he pissed the other boy off enough to earn that level of venom... it's petty, maybe, but he'll take it as a small victory. After that mission, anything he can get is good enough for him.]

Yeah, I was hoping for some free entertainment.

[That smirk, those words. Oh he definitely wants to smash this mechanical arm he loves so much right into this guy's face. But, no. No, he could play it off. Be completely neutral about it. Bury his feelings. He was good at that.

So, he tries to slip his expression into disinterest and boredom. Gazing off to the side to try and improve the mask of someone who didn't care.]

Yeah? Well, I'd like a motorcycle. Doesn't mean it's gonna happen right now.

[And then he looks back, his eye slightly twitching as he tries not to glare at that stupid grin Gai is wearing.]

Now if you don't mind I came here to practice.

[And he's just going to try and shove right past Gai...maybe attempt to "accidentally" elbow him in the rib cage.]

That's exactly the entertainment I was talking about.

[He's hit a nerve, he can tell even despite the neutral facade Cross is trying to put on. It isn't that he's trying to be outright mean, per se-- it's more that he's still irked over everything that went down on the locked post and wants to poke right back. That's just how Gai is.

He'll actually let Cross shove past him like that until the other boy tries the "accidental" elbow maneuver. When that happens, he'll stick out his leg in the hopes of tripping Cross up somewhat. If that's how Cross is going to play, he's fine with that.]

[And indeed he does get tripped up. If he were any normal sixteen year old he probably would've hit the ground and had a very sore face. Cross on the other hand plants his hand on the floor in mid fall and flips back onto his feet.

Oh that tears it.]

That's it! You want fun?! Well lets have a go!

[Hmm, not bad. There's the slightest trace of approval on Gai's face, though it's hard to see it past that smirk. Gai just shoves his hands in his pockets, looking for all the world like he's just having a casual conversation.]

I'd advise you to stand down if you know what's good for you. I'm not going to hold back otherwise.

[Cross only has blind fury playing through his head at the moment, so any approval that was there was easily lost. Be told to back down was not advice he'd follow.]

And you think I will if you don't? I'd say give me credit but you obviously haven't seen what I got to give!

[And he'll throw a punch this time at Gai's chest.]

[Gai was already anticipating that response and steps aside easily, reaching for Cross' arm in an attempt to use the boy's own momentum to flip him. Cross doesn't seem entirely unskilled, but if he can be provoked this easily, that doesn't speak well for him on the battlefield.]

Then show me what you've got.

[And indeed it does flip him. He hits the ground with a slam and there's an audible grunt that escapes his mouth.

But he's learned just enough from that one movement. Gai was good. Not only that, but Gai's height gave him an advantage. Cross was only shorter by at least a foot or so but that was enough to already give Gai a lead. But the skills, yeah, that's another thing Gai had over him. He's older no doubt. More time, more skills. That was the main advantage. A lot of the math was adding up to him not having a good chance in this fight.

However, he was under and had his own advantage.]

Plan on it.

[With a swift motion he's already moving again, crouching and sweeping his leg to knock Gai's footing out of place.]
