Sure, if you want? --No falling. But other stuff's fine, if you want...?
[She is feeling much more hesitant than she's presenting, uncertain and awkward especially every time those funfettis turn out to be actual ants instead]
Anything from the first two lists is fine except for the tickling. [a brief but stomach-churning revulsion, there and gone in an instant.] No tickling, please.
Are there any activities you enjoy that we could do together?
Mm... I mostly go out and do active stuff. Distance running, or riding my bike, or finding someplace and climbing up it, maybe jumping off... I train, sometimes--with swords, I mean, though--that ain't my specialty, I guess.
[From the feel of it, the last is more complicated than most people would consider 'enjoyment,' but eh]
What about other-climbing experience? I go with Hurricane sometimes, and half the time he's gotta handle himself...I'm talking like sturdy shoes here, not a grappling hook.
[Once they reach the hotel, he vanishes inside for a moment and comes out a bit later wearing his workout clothes - sneakers, track pants, and a plain white t-shirt (which is starting to get a bit tight around the chest and shoulders, but it still gives him a full range of motion.)]
[She has also changed, to a loose t-shirt in her color and leggings with bronze accents. She starts off towards the park]
The tea house in the park should be tall enough to count, right? Plus, it's like the closest place with enough foliage to break a fall if you lose your footing.
Nah... Usually too many people around, and getting flagged down by picnicking Sensitivs or something's kind of a buzz kill. I skipped straight to the hard stuff.
[She seems enthusiastic enough to give it a shot, though]
Game Tower. Think that's a little taller than Rainbow Bridge, though we did that, too. I've been up the Sky Tree, but took the elevator for most of it.
[She feels positive enough about the idea; hopeful, almost. She brightens completely when they hit the tea house, circling around it to find the best vector of approach]
So... Basically you wanna figure out your route before you start. It's harder to see once you're actually up there... But see that corner, by the eaves?
[Points to a place on the back where the building juts out in an L shape, a rough wooden beam standing exposed between plaster walls, a bit of space between the tiled roof and the upper floor]

Re: Nemesis
What things on this list would you feel comfortable doing?
Re: Nemesis
...No trust falls, no restraints. Most anything else's fair game. Any hard nos for you?

Any of that sound interesting?
Re: Nemesis
Wanna find something tall we can climb? I think we'd even get extra points for jumping off.
Re: Nemesis
[Starts for the elevators]
Do you need some kind of equipment or anything?
Re: Nemesis
Oh... right... I guess you probably just walk up the sides of buildings.
I don't have any building-climbing experience so I didn't think about it at all.
Re: Nemesis
Re: Nemesis
They are nice dress shoes, not ideal for climbing, buildings or otherwise.
He is also wearing a gakuran so tidy it may as well be a suit.]
I guess... maybe... I should go get changed.
Can I meet you in front of the hotel in like 15 minutes?

Alright, thanks for waiting. Lead the way!

C'mon.

Re: Nemesis
Oh yeah, I guess so! I never thought about it that way.
[familiarity -- he's spent a few nights in that building, running away from home after a bad game. you know how it is.]
I take it you've climbed it before?
Re: Nemesis
[She seems enthusiastic enough to give it a shot, though]
Re: Nemesis
Re: Nemesis
How've you been doing with...lifting?
Re: Nemesis
Lifting's good! I'm bench pressing around 300 lbs these days.
Re: Nemesis
[Low-key words notwithstanding, she is genuinely impressed; envious in a way completely without malice]
That's like four Thorns, right?
Re: Nemesis
His tone is still light, however]
Yep! Two for each hand!
[he pantomimes lifting four Thorns]
Re: Nemesis
Maybe you could show me your routine sometime, for reference.

[hey look it's the tea house]

Could pull yourself up there, right?
Re: Nemesis
Yeah, I think I can do that.
[limbering up a bit]
Then I can keep making my way up from there, right?
