Yeah! It's for exercise. [and because he is a jock, he'll raise an arm and flex. for someone twink-passing, mineo legit works out everyday. terrible.] Cardio, weight training, even flexibility, I think...
The ring over there is for boxing - uhh, a sport that mostly involves punches and jabs! I guess you could make it MMA if you really tried anyway...?
[ he can be a bear if he wants to be. he's a bear in nature, if not in body. ]
... Sure? Hand to hand fighting? It might be similar.
[ hm. ] It depends on what you specialise in. Some people have a knack for hand to hand brawling, so that's what they train in. I know someone like that.
Some people are better with arrows and aiming, so they specialise in the bow. Makes sense, right?
[wow okay so it's super old timey, not even guns. but regardless Mineo keeps up and thinks to himself that this sounds like a pretty JRPG explanation. he doesn't say it out loud. it's cool.]
Ah - they're crazy cool historical figures from the Sengoku Era! Honda Tadakatsu, strongest of the Sengoku and right-hand man to Tokugawa Ieyasu - and Sanada Yukimura, the man who tried to claim Ieyasu's head!
[SPEARS SPEARS SPEARS but he just grins]
Eh - not that it makes any difference to you, I guess.... I just think that sort of thing's super cool! I guess if you're looking for a sword, you just need something with the right length until we find a blacksmith?
No, it doesn't. Different eras, maybe? [ or entirely different worlds. amazing. ] If we find a blacksmith here I'll be pretty impress, I can tell you that. But something around the size and weight of a training blade would suffice.
Getting some practice in would stave off boredom, at the very least.

But! If you're out of your depth here, I'll lend you a hand too.

[ he doesn't know what a vending machine is, help him. ]
... I assume all this is used for training purposes? Even if I'm not sure what they do, I can figure out that much.

no subject
Boxing?
... That sounds more like brawler training, rather than boxing.
no subject
Brawler sounds like MMA - Mixed Martial Arts to me!
Is that an actual type of training you go through? Brawling...?

Yeah!
What do you specialize in then?
no subject
[ none gun. ]
Swords. And magic that goes along with it. Hence why I was hoping to find a training blade or something.
no subject
And swords?! That's so cool!!
[fanboy mode activated]
no subject
It's... fairly standard, where I'm from. Either than, or a spear, or an axe. Those are pretty common.

[sorry]

[but he doesn't have magic in his world so. or furries! there's so many for real furries here.]
Maybe there's a kendo sword or something...? Or we could try to ask for once? Omi-san said he wanted a pole in here....
no subject
If the people who knows how this place works make an appearance I will. Otherwise I might have to cobble something together for the moment...
no subject
Hmm... [mineo looks around] Maybe like... a pipe? It just has to be sturdy with reach, right?
no subject
... Pretty much. A little more reach is preferable.
no subject
[logic?]
no subject
Yeah, just gotta figure out what would work that won't be missed and go from there. Maybe something from one of the things lying around here...?
[ the "things" being.... all the gym equipment. time to gut thm for parts. ]
no subject
[or else they'll
have trouble]
You don't wanna just learn how to pick up a new weapon, or hand to hand until then?
no subject
[ probably. ]
After years studying the same one? No. Not really.
no subject
[time to wander off and check out the equipment and see what he can help yuri take it apart? okay]
Huh... How long've you been studying the sword and magic?
no subject
[ he's looking at a set of dumbbells. the really big ones? can he even lift these? ]
