The gym, Thursday afternoon

[can_be_more]

Aeryn has been spending a lot of time at the gym this week, which isn't out of the ordinary, but she doesn't like the reasoning behind it. She doesn't want to be frustrated, but Crichton frelling brings it out of her. Yesterday resulted in bruised and scraped knuckles, so today she's wearing gloves as she beats on the punching bag.

He wants to help? Fine. Except he's not frelling helping.


(OOC: Feel free to antagonize/cheer her up. Either one might make her feel better and if she gets any more emo on me, I swear to god she's ending up strapped to something at the bottom of a large body of water.)

[ooc: Yes, but she does have the whole "Get Out of Detention Free" deal, since Ash would never admit a female got the best of him...]

[can_be_more]

Having done neither of those things, she'll take Parker's word for it.

"Yeah?" Parker rolls her eyes at Ash. "Let's show him how it's done, then. I think the headgear is over here." She jerks her head toward the padding in the corner.

[can_be_more]

"Then no," Aeryn says. "Today is the first day and the last."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Or men!"

*side-kick sends the bag spinning*

Sam stands and follows Parker to the equipment. "Are you sure this isn't going to just send the moron into a coma?" She begins strapping her hands, then puts the headgear on.

Aeryn grunts something in response, getting a few more hits in on the bag at the mere mention. "Besides the sex, is there a reason for this whole dating thing that I'm missing?"

[can_be_more]

Aeryn raises an eyebrow. "Would a coma be a bad thing?"

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker laughs huskily. "It could, but if he tries to 'critique' my form? I might miss and accidentally hit a teacher. Besides, I have to hit *something* besides the damn bag."

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"It's forgotten," Sam nods. "But if you ever need to...well, if you ever need...anything..." She trailed off, lamely.

Why do I get the feeling you're not being honest with me, baby-cakes?

::laughs::

Wait, I'll bet all you girls are real friendly when the boys aren't around, am I right? Reaaaaal friendly.

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Oh, tell me about it. I've got a lot of guilt to deal with, and this seemed better than being all mopey. Let Aeryn kick his ass--I think she needs it more than we possibly could."

Parker steadies her back for a second, thinking, then shrugs. "Status. And if they're not morons, a slightly different perspective. Interesting, sometimes." Side-kick. "Otherwise? Not that I've seen."

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Sam laughs, "Well, not for me, but the reason for it would be *ew*."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Not to mention I can get a better idea how good she is if I watch," Parker mutters, fixing the padding. "Guilt? Carter, please. Don't tell me you're succumbing to the emo vibe of our dorm. You always seemed sane."

[can_be_more]

"Thanks, Sam." She pauses. "You can always knock me unconscious and wake me up when I should be over him."

[can_be_more]

"And I don't care about status, and I already have too many perspectives around, so..."

*Is making a face of utter disgust behind Ash's back, and is not sorry she dropped a bookcase on him any more at all*

[can_be_more]

Aeryn tries not to smile.

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"That's a good point," Sam says, glancing at Aeryn. She's never seen the other girl work out before.

"It's guilt, but it needed to be done. So I'll work it out of my system by beating on one of my friends, and I'll be better," she grinned widely at Parker.

"I spent yesterday doing math problems, but I only ended up ignoring the problem instead of dealing with it. This will be better."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, you're left with the sex. And sometimes they're *not* worth that." Parker punches, blocks, punches, then kicks. "Sorry, Sun."

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"I don't think I can punch that hard," she mutters under her breath. "Besides, should be over him never works."

[can_be_more]

"Yes," Aeryn sighs. "We're all really very friendly. We braid each other's hair and eat cookie dough while wearing skimpy lingerie, and but now that you know the secret, you can never ever see it."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Dealing is good. Works for me. But keep in mind: detoxing. Not going easy on *anyone*." Parker steps onto the mat, and claps her gloves together. "Ready when you are, Carter. First one down?"

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

*is laughing again*

"Oh, c'mon, Sun. Coach Ash is a *big* boy. I'm sure he can take whatever you dish out!"

*puts on padding to face off with Sam*
