[Shun has brought a large rock to a relatively quiet corner of the Plane. He's seated atop it, dressed in a shiny golden Cloth, eyes closed. He's also managed to fold him self into full lotus position...sort of It's a good attempt at it anyway. Except his attempts at looking peaceful and composed keep being interrupted by him shifting and wincing before settling back down. This happens a few times before he gives an annoyed sigh and gives up. As he stretches his legs out he gives a little hiss of pain.]

...How did he make it look so easy?

Shaka has been doing it his entire life.

So it's practice that makes it look easy?

Everything looks easy when preformed by one who is well-practiced in it.

I guess that makes it another thing to practice. [He sighs and looks up at Mu] ...Mu, do you know how Shaka's attacks worked?

No, and I'd suggest you not try, either. Something like that could backfire too easily. Do not follow his footsteps too closely, Shun. Shaka walks a path only he can follow.

Then what else am I suppose to do? I'm used to using my chains to fight with but I can't fight like that if I'm wearing the Virgo Cloth.

You do not need them for your Nebula Stream. Start there.

You mean try to build off it? I guess that makes sense. I'm just not used thinking of using cosmo first when it comes to battle.

Exactly. Now that you have the capacity to do so, why not explore it. I'd be very interested to see what you can come up with.

Explore it..hmm. I can already use Nebula Stream to capture people...maybe I can use it to deflect attacks too?

[swinging Aloysius in his hands] I think there's a theory about it. I didn't pay it much mind in lectures, but it's a way of being. Artful artlessness or perhaps artless artfulness. Something to do with art. Twice. It's probably to do with acting. Are you all right?

[Is completely confused by the first part of that, so decides to just ignore it and answer the question] I'm fine, just a little stiff is all.

You should get a masseuse. I hear they do wonders. I say, is that your hair's natural colour? It looks much better than I thought green hair would.

This is my natural color. Why would I change the color of my hair?

Vanity, I suppose. It's why anyone seems to do it. I didn't know anyone could have green hair naturally.

Well, you're certainly better at that than most people I know. Did it take a long time to get that far?

I decided to start training a couple of weeks ago. I need to get used to things like that.

[almost asks for what, but he recognises that armour from his talk with Mu] For your war with Hades?

[Is completely startled by that statement] How do you know about that?

[takes a step back, putting his hands up defensively] Whoa, hey! I met a bloke named Mu, that's all. I take it you know him? He wears golden armour like that, too.

..Sorry. I know Mu, we're from the same world. Well, almost the same world. His is a bit different than mine.

[curiously] Really? That must get a bit awkward.

Sometimes I guess it does. Our worlds are mostly the same, I'm just farther ahead of him....and things fell out a little differently in some of the battle.

Oh. [frowns] Is it still okay? In your world? The war isn't over, right?

Oh, the holy war is over for me. We won.

Oh! [grins] Now there's some good news.

So what are you training for? Oh, and uh...I'm Oliver. Sorry. All this talk about different worlds gets a bit distracting, don't you think? [smiles sheepishly]

[Smiles] I guess being curious about other worlds is natural. I'm Shun.

I'm training myself so I can figure out how to use this Cloth.

Nice to meet you, Shun! Is it new, then? What's uh...it's name? [he did learn a few things from Mu, at least]

This is the Virgo Cloth. It's not exactly new to me, but I've had it for much less time than the Andromeda Cloth.

Oh. People can have different ones? [he's probably watched too much TV, but he can't help thinking mystical weapons are supposed to be bearer-specific]

[Nods] I think it's really rare though. It's just that right now there is no one else strong enough to wear the Gold Cloths, so Saori-san asked me and a few of my friends to take them on.

Ohhh, okay. [grins] Sounds like quite an honour!

It is, but it's just taking me a long time to get used to it.

Is it really different from the...uh...Andromeda one?

I wonder that about anyone who can do that mediation stuff. How are you supposed to attain Nirvana with your legs all twisted up like that?

I guess the people who can do it are just used to it. Or they're really flexible.

With flexibility like that, you'd think they'd be doing other things...

[smiles slightly] Sorry. I'm Donna, by the way.
