[This was the third time she found herself by the surf of the beach, relaxing on the sand as the waves produced a calming affected over the young master. Aqua let out a long sigh and slowly bent her neck side-to-side, stretching the muscles before rolling her shoulders to loosen herself up. She's kept herself busy with work on the Defense Force but needed time to keep up with her training which was of top priority. Plus she needed to see what shape Ven was in…

The last time she saw him, he was in a coma and hidden away for his own safety. The memory of her friend in a deep sleep chilled her to the bone and made her suddenly stand up, shaking away the sand from the blue sashes of her outfit as she pushed the memory away. 'He's here now," she told herself. 'Safe and with you.'

Speaking of which, she should see if he was on his way for sparring practice...]

Ven? Are you close by?

[A pause in thought before she spoke again.]

If anyone would like to join us for a little sparring, you are more than welcome to. Please meet with us on the beach.


((OOC: I'll break up the threads into three parts: Spar with both Aqua and Ventus, Spar only with Aqua and Spar only with Ven. That way, you can have a tag team of keyblade wielders coming at you or you can just fight one-on-one! :D))

[Action]

[Buffy is in the ice rink, gliding across the ice on a pair of skates. She's got the music from Swan Lake playing over the speakers and she looks contented, relaxed and absorbed in thought. She is all of those things. Having Angel show up has thrown her for a contemplative loop. The ice is always a good place for her to sort things out. Not that she expects to sort any of these feelings out today on the ice or anywhere else. She's been sorting feelings for Angel out for years. Come join her, interrupt her thoughts or just watch for a little while.]

[Voice]

I'm surprised we've got an ice rink but I guess frozen water isn't that much of a stretch when we're however many miles below unfrozen water. [She's terribly sharp today.] I guess I just didn't realize that many people had Dorthy Hamil fantasies.

[Lyle spends a few minutes making some notes on the board, making it a bit easier for the students. Frederick is sitting on the desk watching Lyle write, flapping periodically. Economics isn't exactly the most exciting of the classes offered, but he still takes the class seriously. He makes the notes on the board to take up some time until class starts and the students file in and take their seats as well as for Tieria to come in.

When it is time to start, he turns to address the class] Alright. Let's begin.

[ooc: characters can tag for either before, during, or after the class]

[Michiru is in a empty music studio, having brought her violin from Minako's apartment to the school for the chance to practice. She didn't want to bother any neighbors they might have if they didn't want to hear her practice.

She is happy to actually have her violin. As soon as she had gotten it from Acumen, she had taken it the school so she could check and make sure that it was alright. Violins were fragile, but a several million yen Stradivarius... she had had to make sure there was nothing wrong with it. Luckily it was in one piece and played as good as ever.

So now today is a day to practice. The slightly open door will allow those who are walking by to hear the music. She is playing just about anything that comes to mind from classical music to more contemporary. She just loses herself when she's playing, but at the same time she still knows what it is going on around her]
