FEELS LIKE THE NEXT CROSSING COULD BE ANY DAY NOW...
SURELY NOT MORE THAN SEVERAL MORE WEEKS.

WHICH MEANS, IT'S TIME WE START THINKING ABOUT PREPARATION.

IF YOU HAD ANY DIFFICULTIES WITH THE HIKE THROUGH THE TERRIBLE WEATHER...

JOIN US ON THE PIER FOR SOME FUN PHYSICAL CONDITIONING TIME:
RADIOLESS CALISTHENICS!!

I'LL BE THERE FOR A FEW DAYS.

I might take you up on that offer. I was starting to get restless and I've been curious to test the physical limitations we have in this place.

[spaghettimonster]

YEAH, THAT'S THE SPIRIT!
I'M EXPLORING MY STAMINA AND/OR WILLPOWER...
SINCE WHO KNOWS IF IT'S MIND OVER MATTER, OR EVEN MATTER AT ALL.
BUT I'LL BE DOING CALISTHENICS UNTIL I DROP!!

[Text] UN: No.7

[toilet_bound]

Oooh?! It’s happening?!

I knew I could count on you, No.2!



[Another job delegating success! (Without Hanako having to lift much other than a finger, no less!)]

I’ll be sure to drop by too! It wouldn’t do just to leave all the work to you~

[spaghettimonster]

YOU CAN ALWAYS COUNT ON ME!
EVEN WITH MINOR SETBACKS ALONG THE WAY...

BUT YOUR PARTICIPATION WOULD BE EXTREMELY WELCOME!

[Some degree of direction or leadership might not be amiss, per se, but the skeleton is also using this as a chance to re-establish himself and the new normal of things. So! He needs to get more used to doing things without a lazy brother to bounce ideas off, and if that means doing it himself, so be it!!]

Forgot to ask - separate thread for in-the-bones-and-flesh or continue here?

[toilet_bound]

Minor setbacks they might be, but I’d say you’ve done well for your first time organizing~

[At least, for here.]

And of course! I can’t be gotten rid of that easily~!

[This is not the vibe of your boss watching over your shoulder. Though it kind of is.]

[blindluck]

Well, I hope you all have fun!

[Nagito is not going to radioless calisthenics.]

[protectorofkouka]

That's an interesting question. We don't need to breathe here but it still feels natural so it takes a conscious effort to stop. I wonder if stamina is the same?

Although our bodies feel more real during crossings, so I would caution against putting our findings into practice when we're at our most vulnerable.

[spaghettimonster]

THE MORE PEOPLE THAT COME, THE MORE FUN WE'LL HAVE!

[Not go, or not participate?]

[blindluck]

I'm sure you will! I don't know if we can build strength here, but I guess you'll find out.

[Nagito is pretty sure standing around watching people exercise is rude, though!]

[spaghettimonster]

THAT'S THE SORTS OF THINGS I'M WONDERING!

THE CROSSING WAS... MORE TIRING THAN I REMEMBER TIRING BEING.

I'll link to the in-the-bones(and-optionally-flesh) post when it goes up!

[spaghettimonster]

NATURALLY!

[At least for here indeed. Networked devices allow for communication, but the wiggliness of time sure makes scheduling plans a bit difficult.]

EVEN THOUGH NOBODY WAS TRYING TO GET RID OF ANYONE.
YOU'LL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL RADIOLESS HIDE-AND-SEEK FOR THAT.

[spaghettimonster]

THAT'S DEFINITELY ONE OF THE THINGS WE WANT TO FIND OUT.
STRENGTH OF BODY, OR MAYBE STRENGTH OF WILL...

[Is it??? But all those times watching MTT workout videos...]

[blindluck]

Once the next Crossing happens you can see if any of it stuck. Though maybe it would take longer than that, even if it does work?

[Nagito is not the most knowledgeable on exercise but he knows it is not immediate.]

[spaghettimonster]

MAYBE SO, BUT WE HAVE AN EDGE!
THE EDGE OF NO LONGER GETTING TIRED OR NEEDING TO SLEEP AT ALL.

I SUPPOSE SOME PEOPLE WILL GET BORED OR TAKE RECREATIONAL NAPS...

[If he manages to wheedle Sunny into participating, it's a sure bet there will be nap pauses along the way. Especially with... whatever it is that's been going on, to go by some conversations he's overheard or been in lately.]

[blindluck]

So you're going to ask Sunny-kun to attend? [Since if you're bringing up recreational naps that's who Nagito thinks of. He can't imagine Sunny doing calisthenics, though. Maybe if Kel gets involved. On the other hand, Nagito isn't exactly sure what's going on with those two right now. That's never been his forte.]

[spaghettimonster]

BUT OF COURSE, THIS IS AN OPEN INVITATION!

[Seriously, he thought that part of it was clear. But maybe communication is suffering a bit all around, and that's why things have seemed a little tense.]

EVEN PEOPLE WHO DON'T FEEL READY TO CALISTHEN,
CAN COME TO CHEER THE OTHERS ON!

[blindluck]

Oh, I don't think anyone would want me to cheer them on. [That's silly!]

[spaghettimonster]

HOW ABSURD! OF COURSE THEY DO.
WITH HOW PESSIMISTIC YOU CAN BE, YOUR GOOD CHEERS WOULD BE THAT MUCH STRONGER!

[Because if even Nagito thinks things will go well, they must be guaranteed...?]

[blindluck]

I don't know if that's how that works. It might just come across as condescending!

[This may be because Nagito is good at coming across as condescending when he wants to.]

Besides, it's not as if it's a display of talent, it's simply exercise. You don't cheer for exercise.

[spaghettimonster]

I GUESS YOUR BAD CHEERS COULD COME ACROSS AS CONDESCENDING.

[Especially since, yes, it probably would be a matter of him condescending to people. How to bridge this perspective gap...?]

BUT IT'S NOT ABOUT CONDESCENDING OR NOT!!
IT'S ABOUT SUPPORTING PEOPLE. HELPING THEM CHALLENGE THEMSELVES!

[He hadn't actually spent that much time cheering Alphys into jogging and practicing her self-affirmations, but it had clearly made a difference for her - at a crucial moment! And maybe nagging people to do difficult things would be an easier angle for Nagito to grasp.]

[blindluck]

I suppose that could bring hope to the group.

[You're winning him over.]

Handwritten cursive

[marblenest]

I hate to admit it, but you're right.

It's going to be happening soon, isn't it?

Perfect <3

[toilet_bound]

[The wishy-washy passing of time (and the apparent twilight that the marsh seemed stuck in) certainly made making solid plans difficult! But hey, at least they didn’t need sleep or food, so waiting for the others to show up wasn’t as inconvenient as it could have been!]

Ooooh, branching out already? I like it! I wonder if we could make it even more involved… radioless taiso, hide-and-seek, red-light green-light…

[There were so many options! Plus-] It would keep the kids entertained too~!

[Hanako, you are the youngest one here. There is no one more ‘kid’ than you.]

[spaghettimonster]

PROBABLY SO!
UNLESS TIME FLOWS SLOWER IN MARSHES, WHICH I WOULDN'T RULE OUT.

[spaghettimonster]

AND FAN THE FLAMES OF THE HOPE ALREADY THERE!

[Just in case anyone feels incapable or unworthy of being a source of hope themselves...?]
