GYM: A Good Day to Die Hard

Silence. The moment's reprieve was a welcome change of pace from all the hustle and bustle that GYM usually sees. However, the silence is quickly broken by a long sigh coming from the owner sitting at the juice bar. The large man shifts slightly behind the counter as he looks upon a long sword resting on the counter. He runs his left hand along the blade before leaning against the counter. "Well no use worrying about it. I'll deal with it when I get there." The large man stands up proudly as he looks towards the door. "Well then, let's see what we got on the menu today! Eheh!"

GYM: Phantoms of the Past

A furious typing comes from behind the juice bar of GYM. The source? A rotund man looking down at a laptop with a furrowed brow. "Ahh... next time I'm hiring an accountant to do these damn taxes." A defeated sigh escapes his lips as the sun begins to dip in the sky. A warm orange hue stains the rest of the facility while the din of pedestrians outside gets louder. "That time already, huh?" The man sits back in his seat and closes his eyes for just a moment. Or maybe a minute? The light was warm as the man relaxed further.

GYM: The Graveyard Shift

[The sound of a vacuum reverberates through the empty GYM as glimpses of Kalib can be seen cleaning the staff room. Cleaning supplies are sprawled out atop the counter, allowing him to fetch tools with relative ease. The sign on the door is flipped to close, yet the door was unlocked and the lights were all on. The vacuum stops.] "Whew! Geez this place gets dusty real quick." [Wiping a bead of sweat from his cheek, he walks out to the counter and basks in the silence. His face remains still as he loses himself in thought.]

GYM: Out With a Bang!

Kalib finally gets back to his business after running around all day. The goal of his errand was to deliver invitations and put up posters for an event he was planning later that very same evening. Exhausted, he collapses in a chair near the entrance. "Why... is the Nexus.. so damn expansive? Fweh..." With his breathing finally returning to normal, he looks around the building with a smile. "It hasn't even been a full year, but I have so many memories thanks to this place. For good or bad. And I've made so many friends while running GYM, so even though it hurt at times, I know I have people who have my back through thick and thin." Fragmented memories begin to come together as the man's eyes start to well up with tears. In surprise he brings up a hand to his face and wipes away the tears. He frowns slightly but shakes it off as he finishes wiping away the tears and stands. "Heh. Enough of that! I can't run this show without a happy face!" A quick slap to the sides of his face and his smiles again, cheeks red. He heads out into the large arena behind the building. Light flurries dusting the ground with powder as the sun begins to set. Kalib sets off to clear off some bleachers for the show to come. Everyone would have received an invitation at their home address, but if they were out on the streets, Kalib made sure to cover the Nexus in advertisements. All of which read: "Come one, come all to the year end extravaganza at GYM! Instead of testing your might in the ring or training with our equipment, we offer you the chance to come display your abilities in a grand fire works display! And for those without the means to participate, we have sparklers and firecrackers for you to enjoy on top of the performances! Let's end this year with a bang!"

Lost in the Fog

>The night air is cold and the howling of the wind only make it colder. A full moon looms in the sky, a radiant orb of beautiful light. All the while a familiar looking man to most is seen leaning against a lamppost just outside the big city. The man holds a small black orb in his hand and he idly pokes at it. The orb begins to ripple from the touch, stopping only when the man removed his finger. "Brilliant. The experiment is moving along better than I could've hoped!" >Suddenly, the wind stops and the night is still. From the distance, a large fog bank can be seen creeping towards the man. The light above the man flickers and a smirk crosses his lips.

Continuing the theme of both Yu's and Bona04's threads, what would be your entrance and victory/loss quotes for a tag team. I had forgotten to pose this question earlier, but oh well, better late than never.

GYM: Resonant Mettle

It's been some time since Kalib last set foot in the business below his apartment. A thin layer of dust coats the counter he'd normally stand behind. With a small smile, Kalib would move over to the register and wipe it off. "Yeesh. This is what happens when I'm gone..." He lets out a small chuckle before turning to the fridge and counting his stock of protein drinks. Satisfied with his count, he'd nod and finally move for the door. Putting out a hand to the lock and twisting it to the side before reaching up to the closed sign and flipping it to open. "Alright! GYM is back baby!" With a triumphant explanation, Kalib would move behind the counter once more and eye the door eagerly.

GYM: Body and Soul

*Kalib sits at the counter after a long day of fixing his establishment from the constant punishment it receives.* Hah...why are we still here? Just to suffer? *He laments while looking towards the door, knowing that soon...it won't be there.*

Phansite Q: Mount Brain

*Before you rises a massive pink mountain. The texture is malleable and soft, however some of it is rigid. From the base of the mountain you can see flashes as synapses jump to life with electricity, causing the air to grow with static. At the base of the path stands a wooden sign.* (WELCOME TO MOUNT BRAIN! FEEL FREE TO DISCUSS AND BECOME INTELLECTUALS TO PROVE OUR BOT OVERLORDS WRONG.) *Kalib stands contemplating the words.*

GYM: Double Dash

*A sign outside of GYM reads:* (HELLO! WELCOME TO GYM! TODAY IS A SPECIAL EVENT NEVER BEFORE SEEN IN THE NEXUS. SPARRING MATCHES WITH A PAIR AGAINST A PAIR. PLEASE COME IN AND JOIN!) *The door is unlocked as Kalib begins organizing his protein drinks in the fridge.*
