[Nexus] Nexus Health Club

[happyturtle]

Somewhere convenient to all threads, but contained in none of them is a state of the art fitness facility. Membership is automatically open to everyone, but if you break the IC rules you will be banned from the premises.

OOC rules:

1. No curtains. No nudity. No group locker rooms. Yes, this is unrealistic for a health club. I don't care. I don't want to see people getting infractions here.
2. Similarly, in keeping with forum rules, please do not have your character mentioning or using steroids or other performance enhancing drugs.
3. OOC request: I'd like this to be a neutral place for roleplay, not a battlefield. Please do not start fights here, or attempt to destroy the premises. If for good roleplay reasons you can't avoid starting a fight, please allow the bouncers to throw you out.
4. No godmodding.

IC rules:

1. No curtains.
2. No nudity. Not even in the saunas.
3. No fighting except in pre-arranged sparring matches.
4. One person per dressing room. If you are a hive mind, conjoined twin, or symbiotic entity that requires an exception, please see the management.
5. Towel off all equipment after use.
6. While we do have exercise equipment available for beings of all power ratings, the NHC assumes no liability for injuries received when using super-human settings.

[McBish]

A green ooze with eyes slides his way into the health club. He reads the rules and goes over to pick up a towel and heads to some weight lifting equipment wiping down the bench before getting on it and stating to lift some heavy weights with arms that form out of his mass.

[happyturtle]

A sign is put up in the window:

[Haruki-kun]

Anyu walks in carrying a towel and a bottle of water. Instead of her usual leather clothes, she's wearing a tank top and shorts, and her hair is tied back in a ponytail. She seems less suggestive when not wearing black leather, but still looks cute.

First thing she does, of course, is start stretching on a mat. Actually, no,no mat. Why would she use a mat? Mats are for lying down or sitting down, not for stretching on them.

Then she sits and starts doing sitting stretching exercises. NOW she uses a mat.

[ApeofLight]

Two men walk by and see the sign hanging up in the fitness club. " Oh, look brother, this is perfect place for us, no? " The one says to the other.

The two men walk in and up to the front desk. " Hallo, me und my brother here would like to join for this job. We have much experience in the training und would like to teach the lesser experience. " The one says with a thick heavy accent, sounds almost like German.

[happyturtle]

Charity wanders in, but doesn't make it past the smoothie bar. After all, it has a nice view of the weight room. After grumbling a little at the lack of alcoholic smoothies, she orders a Super Vitality Shake.

What, you thought she was going to work out? Sh'yeah, right.

-----------------

"Certainly, Sirs. Please just give me your names and whatever information you'd like me to put in the OP." the manager says. "Don't mind the fourth wall. It'll be repaired as soon as this conversation is over."

[McBish]

Korbo the green ooze continues to lift weights, lots of weights that are very heavy. Probably around 500 lbs. One of his eyes sort of floats around his body looking around as he works out.

[ApeofLight]

" Well, I am Stryke Tog und my brother is Spiidi Tog. Und together ve are the Tog Brothers! " The larger of the two brothers says and both strike a pose.

It should be noted they don't look anything alike. One is a giant of a man, with huge bulging muscles and his hair shaved down to barely even existing. The other is a twig compared to his brother. He's short, slim and slender, and his hair is spiked back making it look like he was in a wind tunnel or something.

" Seeing as I am the Stryke Tog I can be doing the strength und endurance trainings und my brother Spiidi well be d- " Stryke is cut of by his brother at this point. " Speedspeed Agility speed dexeterity theimportantstuff sorrytalktofast I'lltrytoslowdownsoyoucancatchup "

[happyturtle]

"Very well. I've added you to the OP, and your salary will be over 9000 in imaginary Nexus currency. You're hired." the manager says.

Charity waves at Korbo as he works out. She's never met an ooze before.

[McBish]

Korbo waves back as he sets down the weights getting off the bench. He uses his towel to wipe down the bench not that he really needed to, he doesn't sweat.

Ho oozes his way over towards Charity. Hey there.

[happyturtle]

"Hi, I'm Charity. What species are you?" she asks. Charity herself is human female, and a bit pudgy. Probably could do with actually using the gym for its intended purpose instead of just ogling boys.

[ApeofLight]

" Do you hear brother! Now ve can afford to get large apartment with two rooms of sleeping. Let us get to the working brother, ve can not be slacking off. " The large muscle man says before walking off.

Spiidi looks around bouncing on the balls of his feet looking for customers. Once he spots one he hurries over at a fast walk that almost seems like a jog.

((Happy, the o in my name is not supposed to be capitalized))

[McBish]

Um, not really sure actually. I guess I'm some sort of ooze. I have a bit of problem with my memory after a certain point. And I go by the name Korbo, or just Bo if you want.

Korbo is a large green ooze with two eyeballs that seem to move around his body. His normal body shape is a lump, about 3 feet high.

[happyturtle]

"Nice to meet you, Korbo." Charity says. "You been in the Nexus long?"

[McBish]

Oh a couple of months. I was working out building a air ship for awhile. But I was mostly just doing stuff off screen, so I came into Town for a bit, looking for stuff to do.

[happyturtle]

"Do you like it? It's pretty violent, you know." Charity says.

[ApeofLight]

Looking around Stryke sees the green ooze and the woman.

Having found some people(things) to train Spiidi goes over to Charity and Korbo.

[McBish]

I've actually had very little in the way of violence since I got here. Sort of boring actually. Besides not many things can actually figure out how to hurt me, so violence doesn't really worry me.

[happyturtle]

"Then you're very fortunate," Charity says, with a bit of a shadow in her expression. Then Spiidi walks up and she forces a smile. "Hi, I'm Charity, and this is Korbo."

[ApeofLight]

" Heyprettylady name'sspiidi youheretojustsitaround orareyouheretotrain I'mthespeedtrainersohowaboutit? howaboutwegetyouworkingout? " Spiidi says to Charity.

The large muscular man goes over to Korbo. " Hallo there oozey man. I am Stryke und I am the strength training one here. Here to help you get strong and to get past the burn I am. So how about it oozey? Do you want Stryke help you get pinnacle of strength? "

[happyturtle]

"The name is Charity, not pretty lady," Charity says coolly.

[ApeofLight]

Spiidi shrugs. " Sorryprettylady ImeanCharityCharity We'llstarteasyalrightalright? Warmupwithajogaroundthetrack " He says and starts making a lot of hand motions of getting up and going.

[happyturtle]

"Oh I didn't bring workout clothes," Charity says. "Just wanted to get a look at the place today."

[ApeofLight]

Spiidi rolls his eyes and head. " Yeahgoodexcusesthere nexttimeyoucomedon'tforgetthem otherwiseyoumighthavetobuythemfromtheworkoutshop "

[McBish]

Korbo looks at the strong German.

Oozey? Meh I've heard worse. Alright then how would you suggest I get stronger?

[ApeofLight]

Stryke strikes a manly pose.

" Ve have to pump you up! That is how ve are going to make you strong. " The muscle man says and then starts to head to the weight lifting machines.

[McBish]

Korbo slimes his way over to the machine.

Right then, how much weight can this thing hold?

[ApeofLight]

Stryke scratches his head. " Hmmm, it seems dis machine goes up to the tons. Is that metric tons or the other tons? That is not the point though. How much can you lift oozey man? "

[McBish]

Well... I think I can lift one, maybe two. I guess we'll find out.

He takes his towel wiping down any surfaces before going onto the machine.

[ApeofLight]

" Alvight, let us see. " Stryke pushes some buttons and a plate is lowered down onto the seat. When Korbo tries to push on it, it will push back with a half a ton. " So how is it? "
