Adrian is pulled by Cat into the gym. "Haha, funny. Are you saying I'm overweight?"

Cat shook her head laughing. "Of course not! You wanted to go to a place without all of the sparkles right? Well here's the training gym! The guards go here but their willing to let me in because of all the dirt I have." She said shrugging. "By the way, what's your name?"

"Adrian, and I meant somewhere to chill, you know, couches, tv, foosball table, no sunlight." They flick the cigarette butt onto the ground

Catalina chuckled. ”Then I guess this isn't the place for that. I've been itching to punch something though.” she said, looming at the punching bags.

*looking

"I'm always itching to punch something. Anyway, do you get a selection too?"

"Wanna play drink or dare to pass the time? It's where you either have to drink a disgusting concoction the other person whips up or do their dare."

"Nah; I'm not the heir so I don't get one. And that sounds awesome." She said grinning. "To the kitchen then?"

"Sure, but we may have to move around the kitchen. And why are you not the heir, aren't you the oldest?"
(I'll post first in the kitchen)

"Nope; I'm eighteen and Eli is 20. I'm adopted anyways so I wouldn't get the crown; Don't want to anyways." She said walking out with them. (K!)

"Oh okay"

Aaralyn wandered inside. "Is anybody in here? No? Fine." She turned around and left, shaking her head.

Lani walked into the gym, looking around. Despite her upbringing, she knew she felt more comfortable in a place like this - where reputation and status didn't matter, just your grit and strength. She wondered if she was really allowed in here, since there were mostly just guards.

Aaralyn walked into the gym. She spotted Lazuli and waved. "Hello!" The princess called cheerfully, walking over to the far right wall. "How are you?" She put on a pair of boxing gloves and started attacking a punching bag.

Lani smiled and waved back, jogging on a treadmill. "I'm doing well, what about you?" she asked.

"I'm pretty good! Have you explored the castle yet?" Aaralyn asked.

"Only a little bit," Lazuli replied. "I'd like to see more, but I got lost in a book for a while," she said, with a light laugh.

Aaralyn nodded, taking a break from the punching bag. "So, where did you grow up?" She started running on one of the treadmills next to Lazuli.

(The Selection Provinces because I'm a nerd)

"I'm from Waverly," Lazuli said, "But I travel all the time for work." She didn't point out that she went into the sky once every year, since that was...odd.

(It's blocked on my computer ;-;)

"Cool! I've always wanted to travel around the world. It sounds fun, and there's so much more to see than just the castle. Speaking of getting out of the castle, there's gonna be some fireworks down at the Pier tonight. Cat and I are going with a few other people. Do you want to come? It'll be fun."

"Absolutely!" Lani grinned brightly, flicking an errant strand of hair out of her face. "That sounds amazing." Her first thought was that she'd be able to get into the public eye now as one of the Selected. But she pushed it away and told herself that she needed to actually enjoy this process. She'd worked enough for her mother - and besides, fireworks brought enough attention to the sky that Nut would get her admiration anyway.

Aaralyn nodded excitedly. "Great! I'll- Oomph!" The girl had tripped while running on the treadmill, and she fell hard on her back. "Ow..." She mumbled, lying there with her eyes closed.

"Are you okay?" Lani asked immediately, jumping off her own treadmill and going to the princess.

"Yep. I'm fine. I didn't fall. The floor just needed a backward hug." Aaralyn mumbled, sitting up and rubbing the back of her head.
