Jump, Shout, Yell! [Cheerleader Practice]

He'd showed up next smiling as he walked his way in. The quick little hero with a slow and steady type of natural walk often making it all the more confusing when he actually shot off with serious speed. He had when all set up dress in a pair of cheering like sports pants for the normal cheering given they were as good for him as any other training clothes. Plus he just liked the way he looked and belonging to a club for once! His upper body just as before in training ideas was bare though as given his fur if he got to worked up and also insulated he'd be reduced to a painting mess. At least this way he had colors and could show his colors still. Some part of him almost felt like a mascot but it honestly didn't really bother him in this case. The small but still large and bright enough flag with school designs on it hoisted over one shoulder held by one hand at his side. His other arm with a small cooler he had a few snacks in and a bottle of water should this go on to the point he'd need them he wanted to be ready set and willing to go!

"I'm here Rowan Chan! Ready for some training today!?!?!" He'd say with a light gusto kicking up speed suddenly from the door and bolting at a alarming pace up to her side. A heel skidding on the training room floor as he came to a sudden stop right next to her. Using his heels in a sense for emergency breaking so he didn't stumble or have to do a slow down as often when he went from full to stop speeds. The fur on his body provided a nice insulation for that as well so he didn't have to worry about skinning up his feet when he did it either. 

He'd offer her a rather peppy thumbs up and sticking his tongue out lightly as excitement made it hard to be bashful today. It was fun and exciting to finally be part of a club and whats more they'd be cheering on and helping their other fellow students feel happy and ready as well! It was a rather uplifting thought when he thought about it. 

Farrah had never been a perfect student, with numerous offenses such as being distracting in class and not listening to her teachers. Among her worst offenses, however, was tardiness... she stayed up late and didn't stress most rules, which made for a rough combination. For that reason, she had to be super careful to make sure she wouldn't miss any of her club practice sessions...

... And even then, it had been close! Fera ran out her dorm, dressed in her tracksuit top and pajama bottoms, black with white musical note designs dotted on here and there. She had remembered her shoes, her hat, her scarf, and her sunglasses, while still somehow forgetting to change pants before running out of the dorm. She grabbed up her standard-style cheerleader uniform but did not risk putting it on, having yet to feel the temperature outside. As it turned out, she made it in very decent time, and probably could have spared a few moments to get her clothes right.

She smiled, recognizing three of her friends upon entering. "Bonjour! The day is magnifique! Well suited for honing our technique!" she greeted them all, waving first, then posing with one fist on her hip and the other making a V at the right side of her sunglasses. Both hands were empty... whereas Rowan had brought two bags full of newly-made cheerleader apparel and Jisa had brought water and a hand-prepared banner. She looked to Arisu, then gave a sigh of relief, seeing the girl had come with just a notebook, much like herself. She produced her own out of her jacket pocket.

"Hm hm hm! My thunder's not stolen, but freely given! Poetry is my soul and the whole of livin'! Why should I mind if you have the bard's spirit? Frankly, I can't wait to hear it!" she chuckled, grinning at Arisu and shooting her a finger gun. "As for me, for my precious cheerleading friends, I've been devisin' new rhymes and ends! I've got some spicy new ones to make you cry in jubilation! For instance for that one, I'd use..."

She paused for a moment, thumbing through her book. The space next to that one had a few words scrawled with lines marked through them- in other words, nothing usable. It was time for a topic change. "Rowan, those costumes are lookin' first rate!" she announced, peeking inside the bag. In a flash she had danced over to Jisa, pulling open the banner to get a better look. "And Jisa, this banner takes the cake!"

She opened her notebook and displayed for the three of them a few diagrams. The first one was clearly a human pyramid. The next one looked like some kind of rolling wheel made of seven people, impossible in its design. There were more under it that seemed to only further stretch the limits of imagination. In their first practice session before the football game, Farrah had to yield to the constraints of time and avoid pitching any crazy ideas, but now she was prepared to go full force. "I was thinking we could practice our pyramids first! While brushing up on our rhyme and verse! After that we will go for some crazier formations! I cannot this one "UA-Boros Rotation!" she announced, pointing to the human ring excitedly. Someone would have to let her down easy, regarding the group's inability to perform this manuever.

WC 568

Melody showed up in what you could consider more than fashionably late manner, she strolled in rather casually. She noticed that she was the last person in there and she looked rather confused upon second glance of the room. "Wait...What time is it?" she said looking at her phone and realizing the time she thought practice was to be held was later. "Oh...im late...Im really sorry I thought practice was at a different time, I think my alarms got switched around." she said in an apologetic tone to Rowan as she bowed. With that She'd place her bag down and pull out her pompom's. She was wearing her crop top and her black leggings to practice since they are easy to move around in and do not restrict her movement.

She looked around and took note of everyone else,  the only person she recognized was Jisa so she went right on over and stood next to jisa and offered him a small smile and a wave.  Her face was very red already since she embarrassed herself by showing up late, she looked towards the rest of the group as they had begun to get together and figure out what they were doing. While they talked about what to do she sat on the floor and began to do her stretches that she'd use for when she would prepare herself for dancing, they both require the same muscle so she figured it'd be the same thing. She sat down with both her legs stretched out and tried to touch her toes, she thought about what kind of stretches Jisa could do with his body since he didnt really have a normal humanoid figure, however his smaller shape and lower weight would make him ideal for being the flyer of the group.

It was going to be a busy next few days for Ericka and there was little time to rest. As class president, she had a lot of things to look over and participate in. But even with all that juggling, she had to make time for her friends and for her brand new cheerleading squad. She was a part of it and she wanted to put forth all the effort that she could in doing it. It was this kind of extracurricular that she liked. Cheering on her classmates so they can do their very best and so that they knew the crowd was behind them. It fit her personality really well. She also wanted to get to know her cheer mates more. Of the ones in the squad, she only really knew Chise and Lani. And of those two, Ericka had spent a lot of time around the louder one. So this was a good chance to get to know more people and make even more friends. She really wanted to be friendly with her squadmates.

Today, in the early morning, they were going to meet up to get their cheer uniforms and discuss some things about the routines and events they were going to take part in. Their first meeting was mostly an introductory thing and this was the first official one, so Ericka had to make sure she showed up even if she was late. She made her way to the meeting spot inside one of the facilities as quickly as she could. Ericka was running behind, but she still wanted to at least be there. SHe just hoped that no one was angry with her for being late a second time. And sure enough, when Ericka arrived a mass of her cheer mates were already present and looking over the uniforms they were going to be given. Just as advertised, they were like the one Rowan wore at the first meeting. Ericka waited until after Rowan had finished speaking before she said anything since she didn't want to interrupt the leader of their cheer squad after being late.

"Thank you for getting those made for us." She commented, making sure the thank her for her efforts. No one had taken the burden of doing such a thing since the school year started, not even the staff of the school. But Rowan took it upon herself to make sure the team was supplied with the basics and that they got right to work on a routine to be ready for the future events Yuuei was going to be involved in. The blonde eventually stopped and stood next to CHise, seeing the girl drink some water and be a little winded. She placed her hand on Chise back and smiled. "Are you alright?" She asked, just concerned for the girl she hadn't spoken to for quite some time. Not since all that craziness at Semper Fi. But with that behind them, they could look toward happier things like making their school the very best.

More cheerleaders showed up who had evidently overslept even worse than she had, even the Support Studies class president, Chise. She marvelled at the fact that she had beaten them to the meetup and silently wondered how she had managed that, missing the obvious distinguishing factor that they had all dressed properly and eaten something that could reasonably be called breakfast before they showed up. No one else seemed to care that she had shown up in pajamas and thus she had no reason to worry about it.

"When you go hard all week on subjects so dense, sleeping in now only makes sense! I'm just glad we are all made it here, to so we have a chance to practice our cheer," Farrah sang along, spreading her arms to motion to all of the others. Despite her usual level of animation, even in the morning, Jisa and Lani were managing to match her pep in step. "This morning, your energy is appreciated! Vigor is how the best rhymes are created!"

"Another thing that will assist is Arisu's helpful premade list!" she agreed. "Uniforms and rhymes, I count in tally, will add up to a successful school pep rally!" With all of the bounciness of Jisa in the form of a blond humanoid girl, she took up a spot behind Arisu and, like the rabbit boy, tried to hop up and down to see over the girl's shoulder.

People were expecting a lot from her, but really, if they had seen what she had written, they would realize that tempering her craziness with some of Arisu's conventional wisdom wasn't a bad idea at all. Even Farrah began to get a sense of that, as she read over the girl's shoulder. "Captain Rowan, come here and look! Let us set side by side my and Arisu's books. The styles are so different, but together render, a tasty mix, like through a blender! When we flash our smiles and serve the smoothie, the whole festival will be left feelin groovy!"

She pulled back out her own black notebook, flipped past some embarrassing haikus she had begun writing last night, and started scribbling revisions to some of her cheers, fusing them with Arisu's knowledge of how people with classic sensibilities that didn't include cheering about, for instance, blenders and smoothies.

One might notice she was so enthralled in her work of revising her cheers that she hadn't made any mention of whether she was actually going to be at the festival pep rally or not.
