Everyone's really sweaty. Maybe you should take showers 'fore you guys get smelly...

[Groooooss. No but anyway, Takeshi doesn't really seem to be feeling the heat this month. The only time he takes off his explosive-resistant, flame retardant Gantz powersuit is to shower in cold water, so the temperature control is in full effect and he seems completely relaxed (and confused) about everything. It's not like he has his mom and dad around this month to say 'hey, Takeshi, the air is like crazy hot'. Nope. Him and his panda Hoi Hoi (who is casually sitting behind him, chewing on bamboo retrieved from the forest) seem to be in high spirits and dealing with things on their own. Mostly in their room or in the gardens.

... Yeah no, they've been pretty much shut-ins about this whole affair.]

You can all jump in the pool! You'll feel better there. Then will people wanna go play? We can practice in the gym. Keep our muscles super strong! [He flexes one bicep, and it seems like maybe he's finally slowly growing into that large kid sweater he's worn since forever.] I'm learning how to de—how to defend myself! It's important because there's always lots of reasons to fight. When I was at home, big robots were blowing stuff up and killing lots of people, and that's why I need to be strong.

Don't lots of people here have things they gotta fight at home? I met someone who fought aliens at home, too.

We gotta stay ready! 

[CLEARLY YOU ALL NEED TO GET OFF YOUR ASSES AND COME TRAIN WITH ME OKAY???

OKAY COOL GOOD CONVERSATION.]

Muscle Rider can be proud of all of us! All of us!

Who is muscle rider?

[ex_striking429]

You want to learn how to defend yourself, huh?

[ this makes her feel a heavy, sick tiredness, but her voice has that muffled anticipatory excitement of someone humoring a child. ]

All right. I'll practice with you.

[ it's hot, but that's good training too. ]

[mindtricks]

Don't practice too much. [ it's not so much a reprimand as a gentle reminder. ]

[throwsdown]

musle rider is a super hero!!!

who is also my dad.

video.

[throwsdown]

I do want to learn! I defend myself sometimes, but I'm not good like the adults are. They learned more than me faster.

Cassandra is showing me, but I like to practice. I like hitting punching bags, too!

[throwsdown]

I — I won't! 'Cuz you might get too tired, right?

[majestyofthethrone]

Your dad is a superhero?

[mindtricks]

Me, or you. Especially given the heat.

[throwsdown]

yes!! he safes the day and me a lot. He is reelly strong!!

[throwsdown]

Heat? It feels nice in the gym!

[majestyofthethrone]

Strong like you?

[mindtricks]

It won't feel nice if we overexert ourselves.

[ takeshi gets a rare video response because natasha figures he's more likely to recognize her face than just her voice. people have told him this already, but: ]

Be careful. Training in this heat is a lot of stress on the body.

[ especially for someone so young, but she doesn't add that. ]

[ex_striking429]

Yeah, I bet you really show those punching bags.

[ she presses her lips together for a moment, half kinda unsure and half trying not to laugh. ]

You're learning other things too, right?

[throwsdown]

Yeah!! but stronger! Way stronger!!

[Oh hi Natasha.]

Is it 'cus when you get hot you get dizzy?

[throwsdown]

Over-overexer — what's that? When you're so so tired, you fall over?

video.

[throwsdown]

I, um — I'm learning lots of things! Mr. Reaper... Um, before h-he left, Mr. Reaper showed me how to swim pretty good...

[He misses Mr. Reaper. He gave him his bullet necklace and he helped him in the hallway when the monsters were there...]

[mindtricks]

Yeah, exactly.

[majestyofthethrone]

That is pretty strong, Takeshi.

video.

[ex_striking429]

Swimming's important. Do you know how to hunt?

[ hunt what, katniss. ]

[widowing]

[ hello, takeshi! ]

That's one of the dangers, yes. It's one of the symptoms of heat exhaustion, which you're more likely to develop at a quicker rate if you're exercising, but you can suffer from it even if you're not exerting yourself.

[His eyes blink a little wider, and he shakes his head hesitantly, like maybe he's not sure if he should have already been working on that or not.] No... I — nuh-uh, I dunno how.

[throwsdown]

But I'll be okay! I promise.

What if I exercise and practice, then I throw myself in a pool!

[ see Cassandra he's genius ]

[throwsdown]

very strong! Do you know peeple that strong
