It was that Time of Season once more, Combat training. He'd flunk most of the class most of the terms, never once showing an interest in the actual Combat training. It was after a waste of time for somebody who sold wares to wait around for Danger to come through and take all of his wares.. Or worst Fight the villains and just get his things destroyed, was always easy to bribe the Villains or just flat out retreat into another universe. The real reason he even stayed in this academy was to learn who to watch out for in the big bad world, and who to run toward if random heartless comes his way... You know the very very important stuff for Merchants. Plus, free food and bed, who can't beat that?
Today he sat in the grassy field all cross-legged like a good little boy, waiting for the Combat trainer, somebody who was apparently new and hired on recently? This SHOULD BE FUN. his fingers played with the random grass stems, his whistling counted the minutes that passed, and his mind wandered to any and all movements coming in his direction. Who will arrive first? The Other students? The Trainer? The Random Horse that just comes and go where it pleases? Ah so many World of Possibilities!
Why the best part about combat class, is explaining, Nope. He didn't have a weapon. Nope he didn't plan to use one. And Yep, he'll just sit out due to some fake injury.
Combat training. Something she wished Luna and Artemis had devised back home. Ami had a fair amount of battle experience already, having died four times before even. But these new enemies were something different, yet similar. She needed to learn how to fight them, and luckily, or unfortunatly enough, the battle has raged on long enough to have an academy devoted to it.
As she walked out into the courtyard, she stopped as a horse just casually strolled past her and disappeared behind a column. How peculiar. But she was told to be prepared with anything she needed to actually fight. They knew about her life as a magical girl. So all she had with her was her Transformation Wand and Sailor Crystal. She did not know when she was going to be asked to transform, so she just dressed in a white t-shirt, blue shorts, white socks and sneakers. Just as if she had gym class back home.
Once in the courtyard, she saw Mason sitting under the tree, playing with grass. She quickly moved the wand back behind her back. She knew he was at thsi school, but not that they would be in the same class.
Bambulina has recently started another tour... this time around Asia and Australia, and after finishing the first leg of the tour, 30 dates, she started a 9 week residency in Tokyo, playing every 4-5 days at a mid sized venue. It was becore the first concert that Bambulina was approached by a member of a special, combat Academy. The Academy was a training school for people with unique abilities. She accepted the offer to join, thinking about how, her pretty much invincible body could be used it she underwent combat training.
So now, on her first class at the Academy she was walking towards the pretty nice green and grassy park. She was in a fairly old running clothing, with much of her legs exposed, as well as her arms exposed. This caused the zombie gals to stand out, with her extremely pale and slightly grayish skin tone. She let her hair loose, not casing about if it got in her eyes... as it really would not bother her that much... she did not have to focus every tiny bit of her energy here.
As she was almost in the middle of the field, she looked to see if her blaster was firmly attached to her left lower arm and that the built in button that was a small press-based button on her hand, was functioning... she did not fire a shot with it, however... the blaster was a fairly powerful energy based blaster, but she never tried it on a person yet... only things like rocks, brick walls, the ground or dead trees.
She gently stayed he cat tail as she finally arrived and waved around to the others. She then looked around with her naturally red colored eyes, and waited for something to happen. After a few seconds she turned to the younger looking gal that was also there and asked. " Um... this is the place for the combat class, right? " She asked nervously, with her tail swaying slightly, while she spoke in a slight Italian accent. She could not help it, showing in her every day speech, but luckily her accent did not show in her singing as she has practiced it so much.

There he was playing with the grass, some point pulling it like hair before playfully blowing it away, in a rather creepy aggressive manner. When he'd heard footsteps coming up closer, he looked up to see the girl from before. Oh wait was her name? The one with the blue hair, new house, supposed lots of friends.. Name. Name. New.. New.. Ah yes! New Girl! Team-mate! Person thing. The Friendless.. Friendful? Girl. He gave a chuckle at all the potential names he could be calling this madam of lonesome honor. "Why hello, we meet again." He pushed himself dramatically, almost as if an old man in pain... Funny how that works. A smile, coming off like that asshole Jock, funny how that works. "So, Where's your Friends?" He gave a slight mocking bow grin still holding.. Only to slip as a voice came from no where. His eyes rising to meet-up with Tailgate, Singsong bird zombie thing. "Yo-y-you're.."
His composure was temporarily lost gazing at the cat-tail swaying, her body posture nervous completely.. And just Pale skin showing evr more glowing under the current world arena. "Ta-tailgate... Why-why are you here?! In-this... Class." The lost composure slowly returned as he resisted some large urge to start laughing at the two new students standing before him, of course... The Traveling Singer would become one of them training to help create a greater world. How long did she knew? Was it because he visited her, or a whole other possibility? Was somebody stalking him? Ahh.. Oh well. How Entertaining! "Tailgate this is.. Friendless.. Friendless this is Tailgate.." Yep, everything under control.. Completely under control, wasn't losing his mind.. Nope.
Just as Mason noticed her, another entered the area. It would seem Mason wasn’t one for actual names and instead decided to give her the nickname of Friendless. Which was like a sharp stab in her heart. But not one she hadn’t felt before. Before she met Usagi and the others, she was friendless. Her grades the only thing important to her. Her free time was more school. So while he stabbed at her heart, she just gave her printed smile and kept her hands behind her back.
It was then she heard him start stammering about ‘Tailgate’ undoubtedly not her actual name. His composure was a bit lost, so there had to be something between the two. “Yes, this is the combat class. We are still waiting for the instructor though. I’m Mizuno Ami. Pleased to meet you.”
As she waited the few seconds for the younger girl to answer her, she started doing a bit of dual leg stretching, just so she would not pull any muscle... the funny thing was her body healed pretty much anything... but it she pulled a muscle in her back, or legs, that always hurt and had to slowly get the muscle to be back to normal.
She then turned to head the new voice, recognising it as the person who she met almost 2 months ago. She only turned her head towards him, and paused for a second, before continuing her stretching. "Billy... yes... i joined the school 3 days ago, why is that such a problem or surprise?... and i was wondering where you where... we have been trying to contact you for 3 weeks now... you will need to start today if you are still interested in selling and handling merch. " Bambulina said during a physically pretty demanding stretch... luckily her muscles where adjusted to her elevated agility, so would not injure so easy as if another person would try it. Bambulina however pushed, her body just slightly more, to the point of disconfort in her legs and held it for 10-12 seconds. She then looked and saw that her tail was facing the other two people, casuing her to become pretty embarresed and finish the current stretch early, she then started circling with her arms instead and listened to both of them. " I have a 9 week residency at the nearby music venue... there will be somebody from my management to do the paperwork to get you started... try to be there by 6:30. " Bambulina said to him. And his nickname, Tailgate... she actually liked that name.
She then stopped circling her arms and when the pretty attractive female introduced hersefl, the zombie smiled at her. " Hello, my name is Bambulina... nice to meet you are well, Ami... waiting for something like this to start always makes me nervous. " Bambulina spoke in her usual slight accent as she waved in a friendly manner. Bambulina was not good on social skills, but had a keen eye for detail and star the flicker in her eyes when Billy called her Friendless... something that even she would call somebody, even if Bambulina had even less social skills. "And now that we have met... Ami will never be without a friend... not at long as i exist. " She smiled shyly at Ami, wanting her to not feel bad on being called a pretty cruel name. After a few more seconds, she started a different kind of stretch with first one of her legs. Due to being pretty nervous, she was already sweating a little, and her natural stink started to be felt... hopefully the other two did not smell it yet. Ever since she dies, when she is hot or sweating, the natural scent of decay and rot her body smelled like... the sweating only made the smell much stronger and she just could not control it.

The Tailgate Singer mentioned about not being capable of reaching him, and that tonight would be the night they'd need him, he gave a slight cheerful grin playing it off that.. yes.. This was his plan all along when truly he'd lost track of time or really didn't give an enough care. "Why Of course' I knew that, was planning to drop by later today. Those wares can't sell themselves. Hmm? " He felt a slight back of the neck sweat as the two girls introduced themselves and essentially became better allies. Well wasn't this just grand? His side gig just became publicly known.. Then again.. Looking at the two, his mind could not help but wonder if they'd make more of a profit both on stag performing as a once in a lifetime thing.
He casually straightened up walking closer to Friendless as Tailgate did her stretch, "you know.. Maybe if you help Tailgate with improving her gigs.. You might be able to catch the eyes of your friends.. Hmm? Unlock some new potential within their hearts?" He gave a slight smirk, this smirk soon broke off to a disdain sigh as the Trainer of the group slowly began walking up. "Why.. So Nice to Meet'ya.. You're not the Usual Instructor, why.. Aren't you that Quest Giver person? I've heard.. soo much about?
So there had been an incident recently with the Current Trainer, some major quest has gone bad. The individual mysteriously gone missing for days at end, it was rather troublesome, it made him slightly more nervous than it should have. Ahh well.. He was to take Training duties until a replacement could be found, or Hopefully their Comrade come back in One piece.
He wore simple brow trousers with a heavy jacket normally worn for Winter Months of Japan, he had a simple Tank-top beneath it the whole design was to scare his enemies as much as his Allies.. After all nobody could be trusted, that's what he has learned hanging from the sidelines of this Union Nonsense. The group was of Three, why was it always in sets of three? Was it just this Damn Academy trying to encourage little to no teamwork? Perhaps to Encourage Team Work? He didn't give a damn to think on it too hard, preferring the Lone-wolf Outsider for his lifestyle, its why he even had a family and Grandson.
The Blonde one spoke in peckish almost infuriating style, as if the guy was so high on ego.. He didn't know there was sharp rocks on the bottom, should he trip and fall. "Yes, That I am. How you know that, is but a surprising thing. No matter."The elderly man of 60 and up opted out answering any of the blonde's commentary. It was clearly a set-up of some sort, perhaps to reveal even more information.
He instead turned to the other two students, a slow smile forming on his face, "Ahh a responsible one stretching out her legs and prepping for the Hard Combat lesson of today. Glad to See at Least one of the students have potential. As for you..." He looked over to the girl with light blue hair, "You have eyes of a battled warrior, this would not be your first Dojo will it?"
Yep, the two knew each other. Seemed that the two even had a contract with each other. Mason apparently sold wares for the…idol? “Tailgate” was at least a music performer in some aspect. She then introduced herself as Bambulina. Taking the moment to reserve memory for it she just smiled as she introduced herself and Then step into the friend category to force Mason to create a new nickname. After the whole pizza thing, Mason didn’t seem like the type to do that. The smell did reach her from Bambaulina, but not knowing the full story behind it, Ami would not react.
Seeing Mason squirm a little was a bit of a shock at first, but she had seen that type of squirming before now that she saw it a second time. It was the same type of squirming that Makoto did when a cute guy talked to her. Did Mason have a crush on her? Quite interesting. Something she would, of course, store for later. But the thought process was interrupted by Mason being Mason. Trying to get her on stage to attract her friends. “To be honest, none of them would believe it was me anyways. Minako, yes. Michiru, that’s her actual job. I am just an eternal student.”
Then the instructor showed up. He seemed like one of those types of instructors Usagi always read about in her Manga. But after his bit of introduction, he focused on her and commented about her eyes. “First dojo. You could say that. I have fought before and died a few times.” Her hands came out from behind her back holding her wand in front of her. “I am hoping to actually improve on my abilities so I can be more effective against a new enemy.” The pink wand with blue crystal above large white wings glistened in the sun light, as she kind of shrunk down a bit at the looks she imagined The other two giving her.
