[Despite being probably one of the few people in this place with actual muscle on their bones, Douman has yet to really thoroughly check out the gym besides just peeking in here and there. Now, he's standing at one of the weight racks, thoughtfully lifting one.]
[Noticing someone entering, he turns his head.]
Oh! Hello. I apologize, I...I don't really know what to do with these...
Get stronger? I see. Well, wouldn't it be better to just fight someone in that case? It would train a lot more than building whatever these weights need to build!
Well, some training! I had to work hard to get where I am, and that included becoming strong. But I was gifted much more power than that in exchange for that hard work... Not that I can use it here. All because of their idea of fairness! How cruel.
Grail War... Oh, are you from the same place as Medb?
[She shrugs, though.]
I'm not concerned with things being easy. But, it usually takes around a hundred years to climb through every floor... And sometimes things change, and you need to accomplish your goals a little bit more quickly.
Well, my impression is that people where I'm from live much longer than most people here! So 100 years isn't too long for us. Either way, I had just started to climb before I came here... I was on my way to the second floor.
Eh? So you do not live the average lifespan of humans? Interesting! Humans only ever live so long! Which suggests you may not be human, and certainly, with that horn...

W0 DAY 2
[Noticing someone entering, he turns his head.]
Oh! Hello. I apologize, I...I don't really know what to do with these...
no subject
[Casual and brutal! But she pauses for a moment before picking one up.]
Oh, are you asking me for help?
no subject
[And a shrug.]
I suppose all you do is lift these to build strength...but it seems rather boring to me. I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong.

[She taps her chin, deciding how to say this.]
Fighting can help with your technique, but it's not as useful for building raw power! You know?
no subject
[Just going to bend to pick up a 30 pound dumbbell, hefting it easily.]
There's ones that are even higher than this...how much can you lift?
no subject
[I did some very scientific research on this. She picks up a 75 pound dumbbell and brings it up and down a few times, tilting her head.]
Mm, that's way too easy...
no subject
[Their eyes go wide at Endorsi's action.]
What strength you have! I'm guessing this is not new at all to you!
no subject
The best of it is gone... [Nerfing.] But I've always been naturally strong! I could have done much more before.
no subject
Is it training, then? Or something more?
[Their eyes are glancing to that little horn.]
no subject
Well, some training! I had to work hard to get where I am, and that included becoming strong. But I was gifted much more power than that in exchange for that hard work... Not that I can use it here. All because of their idea of fairness! How cruel.
no subject
[endorsi why do you LIFT]
no subject
[And then, because nobody so far has understood what she means by that:]
It's a place that will grant your wishes if you're strong enough to pass the tests it gives you.
no subject
[Now that strikes their interest quite a bit.]
Very interesting! It almost sounds like a Grail War. I'm guessing you thought this place was an easier alternative?
no subject
[She shrugs, though.]
I'm not concerned with things being easy. But, it usually takes around a hundred years to climb through every floor... And sometimes things change, and you need to accomplish your goals a little bit more quickly.
no subject
[And...that's a long time. What kind of tower is this??]
A hundred years? That sounds like an impossible feat altogether. How far were you up, before you came here?
no subject
[She taps her chin.]
Well, my impression is that people where I'm from live much longer than most people here! So 100 years isn't too long for us. Either way, I had just started to climb before I came here... I was on my way to the second floor.
no subject
[And a huff.]
So you still had quite a while to go, did you?
no subject
[She nods, but:]
It's nothing I'm not capable of.
no subject
You sound very confident. And with that strength, you should be!
no subject
Being shy or modest is pointless, don't you think?
no subject
Well, it might have its strengths...but enough about me, enough about me! Tell me what other feats you can do!
