Subject: Help wanted for skate park
Warnings: None

Aight, so me and Checkers are trying to make a skate park over at Hero's Rest and we gonna need some help.

[Beat moves aside to show off the State of the Skate Park. It is obvious that it needs quite a bit of Help. He stands in what looks to be the middle of a repurposed amphitheater. The only things that have been set up is a ramp and a grind rail from the stairs that are already part of the original architecture.]

It ain't much right now, but we got a lotta plans.

[Setting aside the shellphone, he rummages through his sketchbook, eventually flipping to a page with said plans. He holds it up to reveal a very rough drawing of his and Roxas' dream skate park for all to see.]

We thinkin' 'bout puttin' up a half-pipe somewhere 'round here— [He starts moving around, pointing out to a space each time. Boy, does he look excited about it, grinning from ear to ear. Very much like a kid in a candy store.] —coupla pyramids somewhere in the middle, an' a buncha rails and ramps all 'round. Yo, Checkers! Am I missin' anythin'?

[Roxas can be seen in the background, cleaning up part of the amphitheater that they hadn't gotten to. He turns to Beat.]

Maybe a bowl somewhere?

Nah, you's right. Gotta add that to the plan. [Then Beat turns back to the shellphone.] That too. Anyways, it's gonna be a lotta work, so if can help us out, we gonna owe you big time, yo! Jus' name your price!

[ooc: Beat is red and Roxas is blue. Either one of them or both will be answering replies!]

For tricks and stuff like that!

Surely those obstacles would still interfere with attempts at speed and twirls.

Even if the trick you speak of is skating and playing a violin at the same time, I believe the man who attempted that broke the violin, a mirror, and his bones. That had been on a purely flat surface.

[seasaltkeys]

What? No!

The ramps and stuff like that are more for jumps and doing like, stuff in the air. And balancing to grind on the rails.

I wouldn't even try to play the violin on a skateboard. I can't even play a violin but it would probably mess with your balance

[astudyinviolet]

Your equipment and bodies can withstand such activities?

[seasaltkeys]

Yeah? It's mostly just making sure you balance on the board.

I mean, you can fall off and it'll hurt, but it's not that bad.

[Granted, Roxas also fights monsters so he is not the normal metric for this.]

[astudyinviolet]

Is this akin to fighting for pleasure and sport?

[ Put in that way, Sherlock can understand it better. ]

[seasaltkeys]

[After a long period of thought]

I guess? It's a hobby.

[astudyinviolet]

I see.

[ Sort of. It still sounds absurd to him, but that's hardly the first thing people do that he doesn't understand. It won't be the last. ]

Best of luck on your endeavor. It seems an undertaking.

[seasaltkeys]

Thanks! Feel free to come by if you ever want to see it in person!

I can show you or give you a lesson, if you want!

[astudyinviolet]

I might if only to get a better visual of what the two of you are doing.

[ A lesson... maybe. It could prove useful. Maybe. ]

[seasaltkeys]

Then I'll look forward to seeing you sometime!
