[ In the late afternoon, Ponta can be found at the gym. If Jolyne has ever wondered about his high speed stat on the profiles, she now gets to see it in action. Ponta is on one of the treadmills and running on a pretty high setting.
He waves at her without actually stopping his workout. ]
Ponta! It's good to see you too after the week we've had...
[ she's already here with a cute workout outfit on and her hair in a high ponytail instead! it'll be wash day so she's just got a long braid coiled in a single bun. ]
Damn, you're real fast. You must train a lot to get that kinda form for speed. [ said as she grabs a workout band to start stretching with right beside some of the weight machines. ]
[ Work-out buddies! Though it feels a bit macabre to do sports after the, uh, 'sports festival' display, in the end it still feels best to get some energy out by exertion. ]
Haha, kinda. We do these competitions back home and running's part of the deal. Maybe the only one I'm any good at?
Uhm... how do I explain this... You probably haven't heard of Bottleman?
[ Nobody here has heard of Bottleman. It's a strange experience. ]
It's basically like... a bunch of contestants in a big field where you shoot bottle caps at targets and traps to disqualify each other and earn points? Since it's PvP there's a lot of running to avoid traps involved in it.
[ Ponta finally turns down the speed on this treadmill because talking and running at full power are not friends. ]
Trap doors, giant bottles rolling at you from hidden places, a lot of bottles trying to splash black goo on you - being hit with it automatically disqualifies you.
I think you could take it further than we currently do, too, just get really wild with it.

So being fast is important, dextrous and all that.
What kinda traps...?
