Days 8-11 - Test 1: Aptitude
Who: All Initiates
What: LACUNA begins her testing phases
When: Days 8-11
Where: Area 2 - Testing Grounds
Warnings: To be updated, but as this is a testing regimen, it will most likely contain language, violence, mentions of sensitive topics (up to and including pondering the murder of children)
At 06:00 hours on the morning of Day 8, every terminal, be it the one in the living quarters or one of the personal terminals within the rooms, begins broadcasting the sound of a klaxon. This sound, loud enough to reverberate, continues for 30 seconds before it ends as abruptly as it began. The lights raise and after they are fully illuminating whatever area your character may have been rudely awoken in, LACUNA's cold voice fills the silence.
As incredibly forthcoming as she's been previously, any attempts to question her further are met with cold silence.
(OOC: The Test will be divided by day and function, and for more information, check out the sweet prompts below, also organized by date! You're not required to use this post, but it may be easier if you haven't found a partner! Feel free to make your own posts, either as actions or network posts as well! Remember, it isn't 100% necessary to obey her commands...)

"Good Morning, Initiates. Today will begin Testing. Our first Test Round will be for Aptitude measurement only. As such, blows that would otherwise be fatal will spare you. You have one hour to prepare. Afterwards, proceed to the cryopod chamber for further instruction. Thank you."

I don't think they can jump like Chocobo's can.
[She imagines the Low Road before shaking her head and casting her mismatched gaze over the dusty world around them.] I don't think we'll be able to sneak up on them if that's the case. [This isn't the first time that Yuna's been after bandits.]
I'll go first. I can cast a protection for a little while and heal myself if I get hurt. You find where they are and we'll attack.

[She doubts those spindly legs could handle falling from the cliffs, on purpose or not.
She considers fighting Yuna about who gets to be the distraction, especially since she's used to healing and casting protection spells herself, but she doesn't have any Materia and using her own life force again isn't really high on her list right now.]
That sounds like a good idea.
[She looks at sees where the gulch opens and a cave to the south.]
If you go into the main entrance on horseback, I'll go into that cave on foot. There looks like there's a patch of plants that we can use as cover before we separate.
no subject
That's a good idea.
I'll be able to spot them about when they spot me. It'll be up to you to sneak up on them.
[Yuna will be shooting too but she'll also be trying to protect herself, so her shots might not be as reliable.
When they reach the underbrush, Yuna pauses and nods to Aerith with a warm smile.]
Ready?
[She's a little excited about it.]
no subject
When you are.
[That's all she says before she ducks down and starts sprinting towards the cave. She hears some rustling and then there are sounds that are definitely from a gun, but she doesn't stop until she's flush with the cave wall at the entrance and she only rests long enough to get situated before searching along the stone to find some sort of way into the bandit hideout.
After a long walk through the dark, she sees a light ahead and hears voices in front of her. She pulls out the gun from the holster at her side and prays that she's not about to walk into a trap.]
Hold it right there, creep! Give back the town's gold. Or els.
no subject
The trail winds low with paths that branch off ahead. She pulls on what little magic she can and casts protect around herself. It won't stop bullets but it'll at least hurt less when she inevitably gets hit.
She tries to be quiet, taking on the appearance of someone who is sneaking but as expected, she's spotted and a shot strikes the rock in front of her. Yuna takes a quick step back and turns to see the marks mans site on her.
The cave is up there which means that Aerith should be behind him. Yuna pulls her gun and takes a shot.]
Stop! [She calls out as she heads towards the men. Hopefully there aren't too man.]
