Hans and Tasha help Tran to train a bit for strength and also try to explain why kats do certain things.
<Hans> ::well we’ll start this off then. he’s just come in from a dull patrol. goes downstairs to the basement to check and see if there are clean towels to use after a work out for showering. MBI prolly has a couple washers and dryers to clean towels, work out clothes, uniforms etc. with::
<Tran> ::sucks down his finally egg of his 8pm meal and puts the shell to one side and looks at the sheves of egg shells painted… he’s gotten very good but there are a lot of them… and he’s yet to help out anyone with anything big:: *DING* ::ears shoot up! Washings done! Runs to the next room to change to the next load, no one seems to have noticed when washing detail rolls round it’s already done. all the clothes that drop down the shoot are folded and pressed all nice and clean when they go down to start it… Tran’s bored and helping X3::
<Hans> ::comes down stairs and goes into the laundry room. stretches some and notes Tran in there:: Hey Tran. What’re you up to today?
<Tran> ::blinks and looks round smiling and holds up the washing from the dryer:: I am helping ::puts it down on the table and starts to fold at high speed ^^::
<Hans> Hey you don’t have to ::blinks at his speed:: do that…
<Tran> Why not? I have gotten very good at it down here ::looking at Hans and not at the folding, still making it all look nice::
<Hans> I can see that. Never seen anyone fold clothes that fast. ::grins::
<Tran> ::stack it up and the goes to transfer the washing from the washer and puts it all in the dryer:: The Father assigned me washing as one of my duties when I was not being tested on… ::sighs, ears droop:: I just wish I could do more to help you all out more
<Hans> Well… do you know how to fight or anything?
<Tran> ::shakes his head:: I am no fighter… when my series is underthreat we either take the assult or ::pouts:: We are to bite our tongues and suck the wound. The chemicals that form our blood is not egg nor juice… it triggers the reaction and our otherside defends us
<Hans>::makes a face:: Heh we don’t want your “otherside” to say hello anytime soon. ::smiles and pats his back:: Maybe I can show you basic techniques on how to take down a criminal?
<Tran> ::nods:: I do not like my otherside… ::blinks and shudders with that pat… reading his DNA stran but can’t do anything with it yet X3 looks round:: Take down?
<Hans> Yeah, y’know, arrest? Keep from doing more bad things.
<Tran> ::smiles:: I would like that
<Hans> Alright. Let’s head on up to the gym. We can take these towels up with us. ::goes to take a stack::
<Tran>… ::starts to follow:: Is that where I run on the moving walk way as exerice?
<Hans> ::laughs a bit:: You mean a treadmill? Hmm… maybe you should start doing that. Get some muscle on ya. Kinda thin. ::heads upstairs. takes the towels to the tom’s locker room:: Mind putting those towels in the she-kat’s locker room for me? They go on a table next to the showers.
<Tran> ::nods, not stopping to think how Hans knows the lay out of the shekats’ locker room, the tom must have been pranking the shekats… knocks on the door:: Tran entering shekats locker room…. ::waits a sec and then walks in and puts them where Hans said too::
<locker room>::issa empty. lol and Hans was mischevious with the ladies when he first joined ;D shhh.:: <Hans> ::has two towels and got himself a bottle of water. figures Tran wouldn’t require one. waiting out in the hall.::
<Tran> ::well if he drank water he’d change… so no XDD walks out and smiles:: So Master Hans, What will we begin with?
<Hans> Let’s get to the gym first. ::motions for him to follow:: And quit with the Master biz already? ::laughs:: You make me feel like Obi Wan Kanobe.
<Tran> ::blushes red all over:: Sorry, Master… it is kind of “built in” when talking to betters you address them as such
<Hans> ::sighs:: I’m not your better, Tran… ::puts towels down and his water bottle. takes off his uniform top and boots. is in his uniform pants and black tank top.:: C’mon over here on the mat with me. ::leads him to a square wrestling mat like used for non-pro wrestling::
<Tran> ::walks on the mats and is glad he uses the walls as a scratching post in the basement, as hen’t blunt enough to walk on the mat without tearing it:: Okay Master…
<Hans> There are several holds you can use to bring down your opponent enough to disable and cuff them.
<Tran>… ::nods:: why only 7?
<Hans> I didn’t say seven, I said several. I’ll show you maneuvers I know.
<Tran>… oh ::hisses neriously::
<Hans> I promise I won’t hurt you. ::smiles:: I’ll show you moves that aren’t supposed to hurt the opponent, just confine them long enough to cuff them and arrest them.
<Tran> ::nods:: Okay… so which move first?
<Hans> The best and most effective is when you can put an opponent’s arm behind them. ::goes up to him:: Just relax while I demonstrate slowly on you. ::will perform the move lol mun’s not up for too much details ATM lol but you know what it is. spins ’round Tran to grab his arm and pull it behind Tran then grabbing the other:: It’s good to try and do this one near a vehicle or wall so you can press the opponent up against it and keep themi n place.
<Tran>… But what if they can do this? ::goes to wrap his tail and round Hans’ ankle and drag him further away
<Tran> ::tail is weak tho::
<Hans> ::falls down at that:: whoah! ::laughs and pulls his leg away from Tran’s tail:: I don’t think that will happen, Tran. Kats can’t use their tails like that.
<Tran> But it is handy… ::blinks looking down at Hans:: Helps in the labortoy ::goes to help him up::
<Hans> ::takes Tran’s hand and is helped up:: It might be for you. But if someone can’t do that then they can’t do that. You can use your tail however to aid in your apprehention of criminals.
<Tran> I think it best I not use my tail just yet… I am yet to perform a take down
<Hans> Keep it in mind for the future though. A last resort.
<Tran> Yes ::goes to walk behind Hans and goes to take hans’ wrist::
<Hans> Yeah like that. move it up high at my back to where it’ll be difficult to move out of. Just don’t break it. ::chuckles::
<Tran> ::nods and starts easing it up the back… tran is quite weak though so no worries of breakings::
<Hans> Gotta put a bit of force behind it though. Else I’ll be able to pull out like this ::and does so, turning around and attempting to put him back in that hold again::
<Tran> ::winces in the hold:: Erm… okay master… please let me try again::
<Hans> Sure thing. :;goes round to face Tran::
<Tran> ::attempts again, and gets the arm up but even though he uses his strengh, a strong pro wrestler like Hans won’t have much trouble::
<Hans> That’s good but still need more strength… ::pulls out of the hold but doesn’t put it on him:: We need to see about getting you stronger first I think.
<Tran> I do not know if my diet and body is built for growing stronger, but I will try
<Hans> Is all you can eat just eggs and pomegranate juice? Nothing else? NOthing at all?
<Tran> Nothing else… It was a way the Father kept us loyal. He would make it so we could not survive without the chemicals involved
<Tran> And 2 hours away from the nearest store we would succume to the transformation before we could escape
<Hans> ::nods at this and sighs a bit:: Hmm… well we’ll have to see about you getting exercize at least. See what you can do in this form.
<Tran> ::is in the gym with Hans and being shown holds and keeps failing them X3 is weak… come and pick on me ^^::
* Hans_Lynx sets mode: +oo Tessie_Reed Tran
<Tran> ::tran pouts:: I am sorry Master Hans, but maybe if we move on to the next form of take down?
<Hans_Lynx> I wanna see something first. C’mere. ::goes over to the part of gym where there are weights and all::
<Tran> ::follows and looks at all the weights, blinking:: I’ve never been here before… ::looks back at the treadmills he normally sticks to::
* Tessie_Reed is now known as Tasha_Lynx
<Tasha_Lynx> ::willa head to the gym to see her hubby! Has no clue he’s training a Tran. XD::
<Hans_Lynx> Now it’s time to start being here then. ::hands him a five pound weight:: See if you can hold this.
<Tran> ::if Tasha is injuried he might want to rehab her muscels::
<Tasha_Lynx> ::its not her muscles. Lol! its her ribs. Evil Jenna threw a chair at her and…well long story but basically cracked a few of ‘em. ::
<Tran> ::she::
<Tasha_Lynx> ::heads on over to the boys. :: Hey, whats going on?
<Tran> ::takes the weight holds it okay, smiles::
<Tran> I am taking down criminals
<Tasha_Lynx> ((<Hans> now lift it. <Tran> O_O ::drops it on his foot!::))
<Tran> ((LOL))
<Hans_Lynx> ((LOL!))
<Tasha_Lynx> ::snickers: You are huh? ::walks over to Hans. Issa in a pair of black track pants, white tank top and white tennis shoes with her hair pulled up in a ponytail.::
<Hans_Lynx> Uh no not yet. Lift it a few times like this. ::takes up a ten pounder and lifts it up ‘n down, bending his elbow::
<Hans_Lynx> ::turns and smiles seeing her:: Cleared for active duty again, love?
<Tasha_Lynx> Nahhh..not quite yet. I tried to convince him but he said give it another week or so. Just come by to see how things were though.
<Tran> ::winces as he lifts it up and down a few times:: it seems to get harder each time to get it up
<Hans_Lynx> Hectic as always, but calm for the moment. ::prolly been keeping her up on the latest with Spinner ‘n alla that jazz:: Just showing Tran here a bit about getting into shape.
<Hans_Lynx> It’s supposed to, Tran. You do this enough times it builds up strength and soon it becomes easier.
<Tran> ::pouts:: Am I stronger now?
<Tasha_Lynx> Ahhh gotcha. ::watching Tran do his exercises:: Learn from him, Tran. He has me in the best shape of my life right now. ::Grins::
<Tran> ::blinks and stares at Tasha… looking at her:: But you are not cleared for active duty
<Tasha_Lynx> ::laughs:: I got injured. Its only temporary. My muscles though are still in shape.
<Hans_Lynx> And I wasn’t the one who injured her. ::chuckles::
<Tran> ::pouts and ears droop:: Are you okay?
<Tasha_Lynx> ::snickers;: This time. ::smirks at Hans then smiles at Tran:: I’m fine. Its already nearly healed. I’ve had worse, believe me.
<Hans_Lynx> ((brb!))
<Tasha_Lynx> ((okies!))
<Tran> ((brb too XD))
<Tasha_Lynx> ((everbody is leaving meeee! ;_;))
<Tran> ((I return! X3))
<Tasha_Lynx> ((yayeee!))
<Tran> ::will try to keep lofting the weight till he is told he can stop:: Well … I hope you… press chages … on whoever… did that… to you… Mistress Tasha
<Tasha_Lynx> ::smiles:: I will if we catch her. ::noting he’s getting tired:: I think thats enough for that arm, Tran. You can do the other one now.
<Tran> <Tran> ::panting lightly:: Thank you Mistress … My arm was tiring
<Tasha_Lynx> I’ll bet it was. You need to make sure you drink plenty of..er…whatever liquids it is you can consume. If you can drink water, then thats good. Otherwise, drink lots of whatever it is you drink.
<Tran> … I do not believe I have any of my juice here
<Tasha_Lynx> Where is it? In the area you live in?
<Hans_Lynx> ((back))
<Tran> ::nods:: I have a bottle in the basement ::looks to Hans who is … doing stuff :: Would master Hans mind me going to get domw
<Tran> ((WB)
<Hans_Lynx> ((going to get what?))
<Tasha_Lynx> ((WB!))
<Tran> ((Juice))
<Tasha_Lynx> i can go get it while he helps you work out. He’s the one doing this after all, not me.
<Hans_Lynx> If you can find it I guess. Where in the basement is it, Tran?
<Tran> On the small table where all my paints are kept for my egg painting ::swishes his tail X3::
<Hans_Lynx> Use the weight now with your other hand.
<Tasha_Lynx> Alright. be back. ::heads out and down to the basement! going to find said table and get the juice. willa head back then once she has it!::
<Tran> But it’s still tired form the first time I used it ::switched arms::
<Hans_Lynx> That’s why you use the other hand.
<Tasha_Lynx> ::will return and goes to set his juice down:: there you go, Tran. When Hans says rest you can get a drink.
<Tran> ::starts using the other hand and smiles at Hans… mawwww give the little lizard a rest X3::
<Tasha_Lynx> ::he doesn’t give ME a rest! What makes you think he’d give YOU a rest?! XD::
<Tran> ::I’m cuter X3::
<Hans_Lynx> I think that’s good enough for today.
<Hans_Lynx> ::lol Tran’s a bit weaker than you dear XD::
<Tran> ::panting and goes to take a swig of juice:: Thank you Mistress Tasha
<Tasha_Lynx> ::XD:: You’re welcome, Tran. Just keep working out every now and then. It’ll build up your strength.
<Hans_Lynx> ((and I need to go as dinner issa ready! ::will be back in half hour or so:: ))
<Tasha_Lynx> ((okies!))
<Tasha_Lynx> ((laters!))
<Hans_Lynx> I’ll be back in a few guys, need to check on somethin’. ::heads outta the gym::
* Hans_Lynx is now known as Hans_AFK
<Tasha_Lynx> okay dear. ::watching him go:: sit down, Tran. Take a break and rest.
<Tran> ((later… even though I missed you XD))
<Tran> ((brb too XDD I’m talking to bro…))
<Tran> ((kay… back. Sorry… he just won’t go to bed))
<Tran> ::blinks and watches Hans leave before sitting down:: YOu are Master Hans Partner, yes Mistress Tasha?
<Tasha_Lynx> ((lol! Don’t ya hate that?))
<Tasha_Lynx> ::laughs some:: Yes. I’m his wife. Why do you ask?
<Tran> ((does it to me every night ¬¬))
<Tasha_Lynx> ((i knooooow how you feel….))
<Tran> … Well I am just confused on how kats choose their mate. On view tV shows and at here, they seems to be no courtship dance, no real time of year one starts the courting and such… You selection processes are interesting but I do not understand them
<Tasha_Lynx> ::laughs:: Its not so confusing. Basically its like this. If you like someone, you ask them out on a date. If things go well, you go on another, and so on and so forth. After a while you start seeing each other exclusively. THats the point where you are girlfriend and boyfriend. As time goes on, if you love one another, you get engaged, and then married.
<Tran> … I see. But if you like a lot of kats, are you dating them all? I’m just asking as an outside looking in it is interesting
<Tasha_Lynx> some kats do date a lot of others, but once you find that one that you think might be the one to stay with, you break it off with the others. You no longer date them. Sometimes the dating works out, and you get married like Hans and I did, other times it doesn’t, and you figure out that person isn’t right for you so you both move on your seperate ways.
<Tran> … seems very random… do kats look for say… the best fur pattern or the largest kats?
<Hans_AFK> ((back!))
<Tasha_Lynx> ((WB!))
* Hans_AFK is now known as Hans_Lynx
<Tasha_Lynx> ::busts up laughing:: Its neither really. For different kats its different things. With Hans I wanted someone I could get along with. Who understood me and enjoyed the same things I did. We have a lot in common. Honestly Tran sometimes there’s no rhyme or reason for who you fall in love with.
<Hans_Lynx> ((awww Tasha explaining the birds and bees? XD))
<Tran> ((No XD just the weird world of courtships))
<Tran> … I do not understand this word love to well
<Tasha_Lynx> ((LOL! she’s trying anyway))
<Hans_Lynx> ((<Josie> What if you fall in love with two kats? ;_; Help me Love Doctor Tasha! <Tasha> You should quit dating alltogether. Do not carry on that nutty gene pool.))
<Tasha_Lynx> You will one day. When the right person comes along for you, you will. ::smiles::
<Tasha_Lynx> ((::DIIIES!::))
<Tran> ((LOL))
<Hans_Lynx> ::returns to the gym with ‘em. put his boots back on. drinking his water:: Right person for what?
<Tran> … ::blushes:: As I am the only known member of my series know to have survived I doubt I will be finding a partner… Plus I was no designed for it
<Tran> ::looks up:: Hello again Master Hans
<Tran> ((<Dave> Which two ight these be Josie?))
<Tasha_Lynx> He’s asking about relationships. How we chose one another. And don’t worry, Tran. Someone will care about you despite your differences. Hans and I are from different races of kats.
<Hans_Lynx> ((<Josie> You and you. ::hee hee! ^^; runsaway! XD::))
<Tasha_Lynx> ((::DIIIES!::))
<Hans_Lynx> ((<Dave>::knows only two options. goes to Mark’s house first for a beating::))
<Tran> ((<Dave>… Wait a sec… if that’s true, why are you running away?))
<Tran> ((LOL))
<Tasha_Lynx> ((::SOOODEAD!::))
<Hans_Lynx> Heh I don’t think anyone can fully answer how we choose one another…
<Hans_Lynx> It just happens. You know they’re the one.
<Hans_Lynx> ((<Josie> Busybusybusy!))
<Tran> … why does their numical vaule count?
<Hans_Lynx> Numerical value?
<Tran> you said they are 1
<Hans_Lynx> Well most kats in the world practice monogamy, meaning they pick only one kat to be with the rest of their lives.
<Tran> … but that makes little sence… Genetically and in the wild the male has many partners…
<Tasha_Lynx> We choose only one though. Its…complicated. But we only choose one.
<Hans_Lynx> ::laughs:: We’re civilized now, Tran. The rules of the wild don’t apply.
<Tasha_Lynx> ((<Hans> though I sure do wish they did! ^__^ <Tasha>::smacks him!::))
<Tran> … Kats are such an interest set of creatures. This love is almost as interesting as the invention of boredom
<Tran> ((LOL))
<Hans_Lynx> ((::dies!:: <Hans> I’m not a player anymore though darling! I promise!))
<Hans_Lynx> ::snorks:: Boredom just happens.
<Tasha_Lynx> ::snickers:: So does love, my dear. ::pats his hand::
<Tasha_Lynx> ((::DIIES!::))
<Tran> … ::shakes his head:: No, in a world so full of wonders, your species is the only one to create bordom…. it truely is remarkable
<Hans_Lynx> Probably because we’ve more time on our hands. ::smiles at Tasha a moment:: Survival isn’t so harsh anymore, we’ve got lots of modern convienences which make life easier and give us more time. The more time we have the more we need to find things to do with it. Do you get bored Tran? Hanging ’round the Bureau all the time?
<Tran> <Tran> I have Eggs I can paint, stars to watch, washing to be done… there is much that one can do with the time
<Tasha_Lynx> Sometimes you get bored with the same things though. You get tired of doing those things.
<Tran> ::shakes his head:: I have yet to experinance this feeling
<Tasha_Lynx> ::smirks::You will…you will..
<Hans_Lynx> I know I would.
<Tran> … ::shrugs:: I hope so. I want to see what being a kat is like
<Tasha_Lynx> Give it time. you will. You already have a lot of the emotions kats do it seems.
<Hans_Lynx> ::nods at that::
<Tran> ::blinks and stares at Tasha:: Really?
<Tasha_Lynx> Yeah. You have happiness, and sadness, and you’re curious…there’s a lot you’ve already got like regular kats.
<Tran> ::blinks and tilts his head:: I… I had not noticed
<Tasha_Lynx> well..there you go. ::smiles::
<Hans_Lynx> ::laughs and smiles:: It isn’t something to dwell on or force, Tran. It just happens naturally.
<Tran> … so you don’t try to be happy nor sad?
<Hans_Lynx> Well feeling happy is nicer, so you obviously want to do things that make you happy.
<Tran> wow
<Tasha_Lynx> You’ll start to understand after a while. Promise.
