(I was the last to post so I'm just waiting. Sits in lawn chair with reflector to try and just tan for summer.)

Luna was out in her forest shooting range. She shot one arrow at one tree before quickly turning to shoot the other. She felt ancy, especially since Uriah had just left for Panthers. Something was bound to happen and she had to be ready. It couldn't end up like last time.

"Luna?" Esmae walked up behind her. For a while she had been watching. Luna had good aim, if they got into a fight that had to go with long distance, Esmae would lose. "How are you?"

Sparrow climbed up the rope and got to the top, knocking on the tree trunk in a specific pattern to drop down the rope ladder. "Come up here and let's begin!"

(She specializes in short faster range shooting, but that doesn't mean she's bad at distance shooting.)

Luna looked down to Esmae. She wiped the sweat from her forehead, "I-I'm fine. W-what are you doing out here?"

Katya grabbed onto the rope ladder and began climbing up to the top. She went up at a fairly good speed from her longer limbs. They were about the only thing making her go faster.

(Oh, my bad, Haha. Sorry.)
"Thinking." It was strange talking to Luna, since they both didn't like each other much. Fiddling with her wrist shooter, she pushed a button and saw a compartment where more stars sat. "Hm, didn't know this was here. What do you think Uriah is doing now?"

Luna wasn't sure of how much Esmae knew, but she wouldn't be one to sugar coat anything. She slung her bow back over her back, "H-hopefully not getting himself caught. O-Otherwise I'm going to kick his culo."

Nathan followed Katya and flexed his fingers upon reaching the top. "Wow, this is high!" He said, surprised

"What if he dies?" Esmae was getting more worried. Even though she didn't like him at first, she grew too. He was the only one who treated her like a normal human.

"Th-then I'm still kicking his culo," Luna sighed shaking her head. She realized her hood wasn't up and pulled it up, "H-he won't die Esmae."

"He isn't as experienced as us. Even of he doesn't die, he'll most likely be severely injured if hes not careful." Esmae also shook her head. There was no time to think of this. If something happened she had to be ready. In the distance she heard a few voices and started to walk that way. "Bye Luna."

Luna gave her a slight wave before pulling her bow back out, “B-bye Esmae.”

Vida climbed up one of the ladders after Katya and stood at the top, looking down over the course.

Cyrus had finally caught up completely and came to a stop next to Sparrow. He looked at her with his soft green eyes.
"They seem to be having fun already. I'm glad we built this course."

"I wonder why we havent used it in so long." She smiled, leaning into him. "alright kids. The rules are simple, dont fall off. If you do, you're on your own. At the signal, you are welcome to start. There are 15 different starting positions and more than 100 combination s of paths you could take. The first one to reach the finish will get the prize of their choosing. Whether it be a personal class with one of us in something we are skilled at or whatever." She grinned. "One…two…three!!" She yelled and watched the kids take off.

Vida sprang into action, just going- unsure where she was headed, but she was going. She started across a rope bridge.
"W-where's the finish line?!" she called down.

Cyrus slowly started to reach for Sparrow to put an arm around her, but he nonverbally asked for her permission first.
After hearing Vida's question, he motioned towards an area on the ground, lined with red paint.

Katya spotted the area and began moving towards it. She figured it would be easiest to get down and then run to the area, it would be best to plan before heading out.

"What is everyone doing?" Esmae asked walking up behind Sparrow and Cyrus. Above her was kids running around on a sort of hanging tree jungle thing. "That looks fun."

"It's an obstacle course. Want to give it a go?" Cyrus asked.
He didn't look directly at Esmae, as he was busy watching the kids on the course.

"Nah, I'd be at a disadvantage since they started earlier." Esmae thought that that wasn't actually true, she could probably catch up, she just didn't feel like it. "So, are you two official now?"

Cyrus looked surprised for a second.
Shit… are we?
He decided to stall by playing dumb, and just made himself look even worse.
"What do you mean?"

Sparrow realized that the kids were getting close to the end and smirked "stage one, begin!" She yelled and pulled a lever. The finish platform grew taller and moved farther away from the kids.

Nathan groaned and angrily kicked a nearby rock. The rock rolled down and pressed a hidden button that made the platform he was on rumble. "Woah." He said just as he lost his footing and fell off the side. "Aaaah!" He screamed.

Sparrow looked at the sound curiously and saw Nathan. She watched him worriedly, trying to mentally send him a message 'use your weapon'

Katya hadn’t been expecting that and she quickly changed course moving upwards rapidly rather than across. She spotted Nathan falling and felt her heart plummet. She had to be able to save him, but he was so far away.

Vida kept going forwards. She was probably taking the long way around, but that didn't matter; she was still going. She grumbled as she saw what was basically a tightrope ahead of her, but with a horizontally laid rope ladder above. Vida grabbed a rung and carefully balanced as she moved forwards.

Nathan flexed his fingers and the claws popped out. He embedded them in a tres and whooped with joy as he stopped right before the last platform. He hopped on and started running to ladders and climbing up them, to get closer to the finish line.

Sparrow looked up at Cyrus and Esmae, trying not to laugh at the not so vague answer he gave her.
