trans_9 | This is training? [Closed to Rangers, bendytimed]

Even with a rebellion looming and everything it entails - planning and plotting, information gathering, getting the new crew up to speed - things on Stacy continue as normal for now. They have to, until everything is set. People still go about their day to day tasks, the departments continue to do their work, and those who fight still continue to train...including the Rangers.

As of late, however, Jamie has been finding himself, well, a wee bit bored with the standard training sessions. There's only so often that they can run through the usual practices without it all becoming a little too monotonous and the sessions blurring together. What they needed was a good fight, with maybe a few unexpected twists and turns along the way. And after thinking it over for some time, Jamie thinks he may have an idea that might just work to make things more interesting.

He starts with sending a message at a time slightly different than when training usually takes place, asking them to meet in the Sensoriums. Oh, he knows it means he may not get all the Rangers, not if they've other tasks to do. But even if he doesn't, fighting in smaller groups is still good practice. And, well...large groups might not work, given the setting he has in mind. After the message is sent, he steps inside, and the empty Sensorium he's chosen flickers, switching from a blank room to a large, old growth forest. It's peaceful, and relatively quiet, with the usual forest sounds one would expect in such a place. He doesn't morph, though, not yet. That can wait for everyone else to arrive. Instead, he settles in under a tree and leans against it, enjoying the peaceful part of things while he can.

"Yo, homeboy, how's it hanging?" Punchy plops down next to Jamie, a giant shit-eating grin on his face, as usual. Training sessions! Fun! Except kind o boring, but fun!

Lash was too excited about the practice that she only gave Punchy a tiny little hit on the elbow when she passed by him. "Tee hee! I'm going to punch your face in today!" IT was how Lash showed love, okay.

"Not too hard, please," Billy fussed, as he usually did. He set his usual pack down and stretched, gazing up at the forest branches. "He'll need that face later."

It wasn't often that he saw forests. Deserts and meadows were more common. The roots would need some tricky footwork to work around, but at least it wasn't sand.

He smiled brightly at the team, glad to see them again. It had been too long.

"I need that face for making out, boo." Punchy makes a kissy face at Lash.

"Aye, ye may want to avoid punching faces, Lash, or we'll not ever hear the end of it," Jamie comments dryly. "Besides, if ye spend all your time trying to get the better of Punchy, we'll be here all day. And I don't know about ye, but I'd rather get in a wee bit of training once the others get here."

He glances over at the entrance, considering. "Although I suppose we can get started anyway if they're not here soon. Should be easy enough for them to join in with what I've got in mind."

"What's that?" Billy asked, looking up from his stretch routine. "Death and misery to us all?"

"Och, if I wanted to do that I'd have put us in a swamp," he retorts, perfectly straight-faced. Well, except for that hint of a smile that's tugging at one side of his mouth, that it.

"No, I just thought I'd have us go on a wee bit of a scavenger hunt, that's all. There's some things I've had Stacy put in the forest somewhere, and all we have to do is find them. Should be easy for ye."

"Scavenger hunt? That's dope." Punchy's smile is not nearly so restrained as Jamie's. "Besides, I'm always going to get the better of that shawty."

Yes, Lash, hes taunting you.

"Yeah you'll get the better of me when I'm standing victorious over your body, one foot on your back." Ha ha ha, Lash backing down from any type of taunting, it was too easily to rile her up. "You want to explode before or AFTER I kick your ass?"

Billy feels a sudden memory hit him then. Scavenger hunt. It's one of the last memories he has of his Rangers back in Angel Grove, their little heated competition with the slips of paper and car chasing. This'll be trickier, he imagines. His head dips for a moment, and then he's ready to go.

"Is it all individual? Do we have a list?"

"We could do individual if ye want, I suppose, but I'd not recommend it." Jamie glances over at the entrance. No sign of Ron or Kate yet. Well, they could always come join them later. Abruptly, he gets to his feet, dusting off the kilt.

"No, I say let's do teams of two. That way if Ron and Kate get here they'll have each other to work with. First team back with the items'll get to choose what we do after this."

He reaches into his sporran, and pulls out three rolled up pieces of paper, each of which has a list inside. It's an easy enough matter to think up a small sign for Ron and Kate with an explanation of what they're doing - and a note if one or the other of them can't make it to go on and have a go at it anyway. There's a small shelf on the sign, just large enough to put one of the pieces of paper on it. The others are handed to Lash and Punchy.

"Since the pair of ye seem so determined to try and out-do each other, ye might as well go ahead and pick who you'd like to work with. Unless you'd rather try and do this together and have Billy and I make up the other team?"

"I only explode 'cuz I'm da bomb." Punchy ruffles Lash's hair, still intent on getting a rise out of her, before taking the list. He grins at her, then makes a 'come at me' hand gesture to her.

"Sorry we're late. Was playin' videogames all night and overslept. What'd we miss?" Ron said, entering with Rufus.

"We're picking teams for a scavenger hunt, unless you'd all rather go individually," Billy explained, taking a copy of the list. He still wasn't sure what he wanted to do.

Punchy or Ron? It was almost unfair. To Lash. Mentally she flipped a coin in her head.

"I'll do it with ....Punchy," she answered. "Jamie, Billy you okay with Ron and if Kate shows up, she can come with us?"

No, no Lash, don't set up Punchy with two girls!

Jamie's eyebrows pop up for a moment. Really, Lash? Are you sure you want to subject yourself to that? Oh well, it's no skin off Jamie's nose.

"Aye, if ye like," he comments, after making sure the lists are distributed. With a thought, he changes the sign for Kate's benefit, then nods to Billy and Ron. "Well, let's change and get started, then."

(OOC: New threads are down below.)

The forest looms before them, the sign Jamie set up now changed to give Kate an idea of what's going on with the scavenger hunt so she can join in once she arrives. In the meantime, Punchy and Lash have a list of things to try and find...but small rustling noises and ominous creakings may give a hint that things aren't as peaceful as they seem. The question for now, though, is where to start?

(OOC: Free form time! Set up your own monsters or forest-y obstacles, pop into the other thread to try and stop the other Rangers, that sort of thing. Find as many things on the list as you like, and have fun!)

"Yo, we gotta find animal shit?" Punchy's looking at his list and is already bored. He was hoping this would be, like. Find a crashed spaceship. Or dinosaur bones. Or hot babes. Not feathers and river rocks and crap. He could probably find all that in Lash's hair. "What's with this?"

The forest looms before them, and after morphing Jamie leads Billy and Ron off down a small side path, away from Punchy and Lash. The forest still seems empty...but small rustling noises and ominous creakings may give a hint that things aren't as peaceful as they seem. What awaits the trio as they make their way through the woods?

(OOC: Free form time! Set up your own monsters or forest-y obstacles, pop into the other thread to try and stop the other Rangers, that sort of thing. Find as many things on the list as you like, and have fun!)

Billy morphs and follows, taking his time to observe the surroundings.

"Well, I already see something red and a non-native species," he joked, cheerfully working his way past some fallen roots. "Let's hope we don't see more of them."
