Cleaning Up. [open]

[radiantcourage.livejournal.com]

It had been a while since Hoshi first discovered the beystadium here on Stacy and she knew it had to be cleaned out of all the things strewn about inside. She did want to get it at least working the way it was supposed to be so that she could begin the beyblading lessons she continually talked about since she first woke up here.

And, so, she had her hair tied up in a ponytail to keep it out of her eyes, as well as dressed in her usual white t-shirt and black shorts that she used for training. There was already a small pile of garbage outside the stadium, mostly items she deemed to be useless for the stadium itself, but it could always benefit the crew in some way, but there were trash bags from the teams' locker rooms in with the other items.

She wondered what else she could potentially find in here, since the possibilities were endless!

( OOC: Here's what the various rooms look like in the stadium:

Main Area/Stadium, hallway with a lavatory, television screen announcing which teams are up (currently turned off), the entrance, another hallway. Just ignore emo!Takao and entrance where the teams would come in.

Hoshi will also be working on repairing a few things here and there with the arena itself so that there's more electricity around than there is at the current moment. )

Jade had been out and exploring - there was a lot here, and it wasn't like she didn't have the time. She did. A lot of it.

And then she saw some commotion going on by... some kind of stadium? She wasn't sure, since she had never really been in a place with so many people until now. She had to check it out, though.

And that's why she was wandering in - cautiously, of course - and staring at everything around her.

"Wow..."

She was a bit distracted from her quest to find who was doing stuff over here thanks to the main stadium and what it looked like.

The sound of someone else in the stadium snapped Hoshi out of the work she was currently doing. She decided to take a break from it for now since she was working pretty hard at cleaning the entire stadium up from top to bottom.

On her way, she rolled her shoulder back a bit and then cricked her neck here and there just to loosen the joints up.

"Hey there!" She said, waving before running up to Jade just so it didn't seem like she was shouting from the other end of the arena.

She turned around when she heard Hoshi call for her-- and brightened up instantly when she saw her!

"Oh, hello!"

[radiantcourage.livejournal.com]

"Yo," she greeted, brightening up herself. It was always a good thing to meet new people.

"I'm Hikari Hoshi, last name, first. It's a pleasure to meet you!"

[strifle.livejournal.com]

"I'm Jade Harley! First name, last name." She giggled, copying what Hoshi was doing. "It's nice to meet you, too!"

[radiantcourage.livejournal.com]

She returned the giggle with one of her own. "Nice to meet you, Jade!" she stated, itself warm with the greeting. "Can I help you out with anything?"

[strifle.livejournal.com]

Jade shook her head at that-- the only thing she had was a question. "Um... what is this place?"

[radiantcourage.livejournal.com]

"It's a stadium from home. What takes place in here are beyblade matches that are conducted between two or more people, and the first one to either knock out the opponent's top or stop spinning is declared the loser and the one who remains is the winner. What I'm in the process of doing right now is cleaning it up and trying to fix what parts of it are damaged," she explained, making sure to cover all of her bases here.

[strifle.livejournal.com]

"That sounds really interesting! Do you need help cleaning?" It didn't hurt to offer!

[radiantcourage.livejournal.com]

"Ah, that would be a big help! Thank you!" Normally, Hoshi said that she had a handle on it, but having people to help out made the goal of teaching beyblading to others on board came just that much faster.

[strifle.livejournal.com]

"Um... where do you want me to start?" She wasn't sure where to even start in a place this big-- it would definitely take awhile, she could tell.

[radiantcourage.livejournal.com]

"Well... What's number one on my list is to make sure that the electricity in here's all operational. Are you okay with that stuff, or no?" she asked, having another option in mind if mechanical stuff wasn't up Jade's alley.

[strifle.livejournal.com]

She perked up at that-- that was something she was good at. "Oh, I can do that! I really like that kind of stuff."

Back to exploring the city. It's far too big for her to possibly ever cover the entirety of, but it's easy enough to explore the main roads and big buildings of the inhabited sections.

She steps past a girl with a ponytail, going to enter the stadium itself.

Hoshi turned around, spotting Homura. As far as she knew, she hadn't seen her around as of yet. So, here we go with the introductions!

"Hello! I'm Hikari Hoshi, last name, first. It's a pleasure to meet you!"

[clockworkrepeat.livejournal.com]

"Akemi Homura," she says, bowing. "The same to you. What is this place?"

[radiantcourage.livejournal.com]

"It's nice to meet you, Homura." She decided to return the bow herself, seeing no reason to be rude. Once she straightened up, she gave a little turn to the building behind her, grinning. "It's a stadium from home where we hold matches in. Right now, I'm working on cleaning it up and getting it operational once more."

[clockworkrepeat.livejournal.com]

"Matches? What sort?" She tilts her head just slightly, curious.

[radiantcourage.livejournal.com]

"Beyblade matches. It's done with two or more people competing with spinning tops and the first top that stops spinning or gets knocked out of the dish is the loser and the winner is whomever has their top spin the longest," she explained, resting her hands down at her sides.

[clockworkrepeat.livejournal.com]

Ah, a game. She nods, her face rather blank, voice level and polite. "I see. I've never heard of anything like that, but it seems fun." She steps forwards a pace, looking around herself. It's certainly big in here...

[radiantcourage.livejournal.com]

"It really is fun and I hope to bring that same sort of fun to people here on Stacy since it could work for team building, as well as people to just kick back and have fun," Hoshi said, allowing Homura to explore as she pleased inside.

"It's a very worthwhile cause," she says quietly, quickly walking down the hallway. There's nothing more pressing to do, so she supposes a little small talk wouldn't hurt anything. In fact, it could even help things-- she seems an ordinary girl, but an ally is an ally and this one seems to be sociable.

[radiantcourage.livejournal.com]

"Thank you, Homura," Hoshi replied, walking down with her. She was thankful for the electricity working in this area, hoping that all of it would be illuminated soon. And, as far as her being ordinary, well... She was a beyblader and a Rider on top of that, so as far as ordinary or normal was concerned, it was far from it.

"Have you been well, as far as things are considered?"

[clockworkrepeat.livejournal.com]

"I have," she murmurs, aware that even the most ordinary of people can have infinite potential. "This place takes quite a bit of getting used to, but I've been fine."

[radiantcourage.livejournal.com]

"I hear you there. I'm still finding areas I haven't been to yet and it's really been something to try to know just where you're going," commented Hoshi, a serene grin on her face.
