PL: 6,550 Weighted PL: 4,913 The day was crisp and clear, the wind filtering through the sacred forest in a calm breeze that made everything feel more alive than they were. By legend it was a place for mystics and warriors alike, in reality, the depths of this mysterious area allowed self-isolated villages to hide away with whatever deviant creatures that prefer solitude over the prying eyes of any person or animal that decided to wander through the less obstructive areas of Fukurou Forest. A young Fox-Zeonthrope could be seen in that particular area, in a clearing where the trees were spaced out just enough to allow sunlight and free movement but still keep her out of sight from any casual passerby who happened to be hiking or something of a similar aspect. While it wasn't an entirely intentional choice, Puery had been finding it easier to focus when she was alone. Non-fighters had a habit of lingering, she noticed, especially when the person who caught their eye wasn't doing any devastating damage to the immediate area. Now she could be seen getting used to the light-weights she had bought some time earlier. Rather than fly, she ran and jumped towards one of the near-by trees, the lept to an adjacent one, scaling up to the top by keeping her balance and momentum on the trunks instead of landing on any of their branches. When she made it nearly to the top, she stopped on a branch, jumped down, and started again. It was honestly a pretty tedious exercise, but she had spent her whole life knowing the pay-off that comes from mindless repetition when nothing better was available in order to get the same results.

PL: 12,889
Okora Freid was training, hardcore. He yelled as he slammed his fist into a thick tree trunk, and put a large hole right in the center of it. He then unleashed a flurry of kicks onto the poor tree before finishing off the oaken assault with a headbutt that left him dizzy.
"Headbutt, ugh, bad idea..."
After his head cleared the young hybrid moved to the edge of the clearing he was in and stared down the thick forest of trees. All of the sudden the green trees changed to barren dead ones, snow covering their branches. Okora gasped as he saw his father walk out from behind one of the trees, with both arms. He waved before turning his back on him and walking back behind the trees. Okora's eyes widened as he took to the air and flew nimbly in between the trees.
"Father!"
Okora arrived in another clearing and the hallucination or vision left him and the trees went back to being cheery and green. He let out a long breath as he cleared his thoughts.
~Enough thinking about dad. He won't be proud of me until I get stronger, and I can't do that if I'm chasing visions of him through the forest.~
That was when he heard someone else in the clearing. Okora turned and saw a fox lady training near him, hopping from tree to tree. She did not look that much older than him, and due to his home schooling as a child the teenager had never really interacted with someone else his age. Okora dropped to the ground and walked over towards the zooanthrope. He thought about how to introduce himself and decided to just go with the old direct method. Screaming a greeting at the unsuspecting fox girl.
"Hiya!!"

Chili snoozed under the shade of one of the many trees residing in the lush and serene forest. His cap was pulled down low resting on his forehead so his eyes were certainly covered from any and all light. This siesta a direct result of the packed lunch Chili had received from his mother.
He had just seen her recently so as usual she had to give her 'lil guy' something to take with him. The food had satisfied Chili to such an extent that now that he was taking a break he might as well rest his eyes. His rump squarely sat there under the tree now and had been so for just about an hour. His chest rising in falling in a peaceful slumber, his clothing weighed down against him as he lay there.
Suddenly a shout came from a clearing that Chili sat his back too, tagging along with the rude awakening was the suddenly collision of apple to head. The red fruit knocked from the rustling tree and conking the Zoan on his noggin. Chili was most certainly awake now, rubbing his head as he readjusted his cap. His eyes looking around for whatever had just happened.
He climbed to his feet and peered around the tree, spotting Okora while half of his red coated self hung out from around the trunk. Clearly visible as well. "H-Huh?" the pup asked, not sure why he had been awoken from his food coma.

So far the young fox had been doing a good job of not hitting the ground and intended to keep it that way, keeping all her focus on the trees and any branches that could get in the way. Which meant she wasn't paying any attention to what was below her... like, for instance, the slightly younger hybrid who decided to shout at a person way above the ground with no visible protection that would keep them from falling.
Being snapped out of her intense focus to look in the direction of whoever was on the ground, Puery ended up running straight up into a branch instead of leaping away from it like she planned to and narrowly missed several more on the way down. Seconds before she hit the ground face first, she remembered she could fly, and ended up hovering harmlessly over the ground with a sigh. Probably one of frustration more than anything else.
She forced into an upright position and landed on her feet with her arms crossed, looking at the... human? She leaned slightly to the left to get a better look behind the teen. No tail or any other visually obvious anomalies, probably a human. "You could have waited until I was back on the ground." She didn't seem as annoyed now, which was mainly because she sensed he was stronger than the average person who usually does this (as well as stronger herself).

Okora's face went red as he watched the girl fall to the ground before stopping herself with flight. The teen boy awkwardly laughed as he scratched the back of his head.
"I mean, haha, if it helps you fell gracefully. I'm sorry, probably would've been best to wait until you had came back down. I'm assuming you're training too, I mean who other than fighters hang out in forests? My name is Okora Freid, you might know my family name as Freid Family Inc. The tech company that's slightly worse than Capsule Corp but has more heart... yes that is their official slogan. I'm the founder's grandson, and you are the first girl I've ever met I think... aside from my mom and my Grandma of course!"
Okora laughed awkwardly again.
~Great job man, give her your family background right off the bat. Sure she's interested in your rich family...~
Trying to salvage a conversation Okora did a brief look around and spotted something peering out from a tree. It was Chili though towards Okora it looked like...
"A puppy! There's puppies in this forest?! Awesome!"

Chili nearly jumped out of his skin as a flying fox fell from the sky and levitated in between the two men. He blinked his wide a few times as she flipped back over. She seemed pretty miffed about being broken from her concentration, and then the human fellow introduced himself. "I should have known I'd run into someone out here" the dog thought to himself as his tail wagged a bit. "Well these guys are definitely martial artists, especially that guy. I should introduce myself" nodding his head along with his bright idea.
But his face would soon turn into a scowl at that puppy comment. He fully stepped out from behind the tree revealing his bipedal stance and clear human fashion sense. "Hey! I am not a puppy! I have thumbs." he crosses his arms across his chest and let out a huff. One of his eyes popping open to eye the two of them. "Also hello. I'm Chili, Chili Pepper."

Puery's head tilted slightly at Okora's (awkward)introduction of himself, one ear flopping into and angle as she listened to him. He was a strange one alright, but the words "you are the first girl I've ever met I think" she softened up a bit. She remembered how awkward some people could be with that sort of thing, especially if their interactions are pretty much limited to their family.
Beyond that, she only extracted bits and pieces of meaning through his nervous babbling. He's sorry, he figures she's a fighter, his family owns some company name she barely recognizes that she guesses competes with another company name she sort of recognizes. Her family was never really focused on technology, not much more than they needed to be at least, so she didn't have much of a clue on how big either were, aside from the obvious "owners are rich" part of it.
His awkward laughter followed by a dramatic change in the topic forced her lips to curl up slightly in a small smile; honestly, this guy was adorable. But not as adorable as the now-miffed 'puppy' he pointed out a short distance away.
"You certainly do know how to make a first impression, Okora." Two annoyed people with two introductions in a row, impressive, "I'm Puery, no second name, and I'll take a wild guess and say we're all out here to train." That seemed like the obvious theory, both of them having impressive (by normal standards) power levels. Maybe this day will be a little more beneficial than she initially thought.

That day would continue as all three martial artists would spar. Though it was a short lived meeting it had certainly put into these people's minds that there were martial artists out there besides themselves. Powerful martial artists at that.
Chili would certainly remember both of these new competitors. He won't be forgetting either Puery or Okora abd will be hoping to see them again when all of them have grown in power.
It may be sooner then they think but who is to know?
At the end of this day they would all depart in different directions, but all on a similar journey.
Roll credits.

Exit and End thread, PL for Chili plz

With that brief meeting, the three went their own separate ways for a while. Puery would never be completely sure why, but since that day she had the strange desire to punch Okora the next time she ever saw him. She probably would. Or maybe she would, who knows.
----- Exit & Zeni!
