Gym, morning

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

After doing some research for Crichton, dropping by professor Logan's office and Maths class, Cameron headed down to the gym. Maybe tomorrow he'd go for a jog, depending on the weather. For now he wanted to practise a bit for Self-Defence class.

"The-" Cameron goes down hard, taken by surprise at Pip's speed. He wonders if he hit the mat right as his arms sting regardlessly.

"There is," he finishes as he scrambles back to his feet. "Has anyone told you about our previous psych teacher?"

Pip grins. "Nope. Stop with the falling down. Time for you make me fall down. Know how to trip someone?"

"Something like this?" Cameron moves forward, hooking a leg behind Pip's and giving a shove at his shoulders.

Pip falls backward, hits the mat (correctly), and leaps back to his feat. "Exactement!" he says, grinning. "Good, we don't have to go over that part." Show me your fighting stance, now. And tell me about the psych teacher."

Cameron laughs. "Yes, sir." He grins as he gets into position, bringing his hands up in defense and bending slightly through the knees.

"Crazy Squid Lady pretty much says it all. Almost all. She was completely batshit crazy, but a vampire too. Dangerous combination, man."

Pip nods thoughtfully. "Pretty good," he says. "But if you don't mind?" He moves forward to adjust Cam's arms.

"Crazy Squid Lady? Vampire Crazy Squid Lady? Sounds scary. How did the squids enter into it?"

[[OOC: Irony. Pip's canon romantic pairing is with a vampire who gets a tentacle-like appendage. And who has a few mental problems. But is not, by definition, "crazy".]]

"She was," Cameron takes note of the changes Pip makes and then experimentally hits in the air and falls back into the position.

"She used to have a Squid called Sunshine for pet. A huge squid that lived down in the basement. I have no clue what happened in the pool there last night, but I'm guessing Smith wouldn't have had any problems if Sunshine was still down there. Drusilla, that's the teacher, used to live there too so we pretty much all stayed away from there." Pretty much. He'd have saved himself a whole lot of trouble if he had.

"Throw that punch again," Pip says.

"Giant squid? Holy hell. Whatever happened to her? Fired for excessive craziness?" He thinks for a moment and winks at Cameron. "Judging by Smith's announcement? I think can guess what happened in the pool last night."

[[OOC: GAH! CURSE YOU LJ!]]

"Gah! I really don't want to think about them having some sort of orgy in public," he shrudders as he throws the punch again. "She disappeared after she tried to kill a student, the squid went with her as far as I know. Can't say I'm surprised."

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

"She tried to kill a student? What the hell happened?" Pip asks, watching Cameron's punch. "Try not extend your arm so much," he says. "Leave it bent a little bit. Reduces the impact on your arm and makes so your opponent can't easily trap you."

[[OOC: Sorry for the delay. Dinner and groceries.]]

"The one and until now only conversation I've had with my little sib has been about this too," Cameron sighs and tries a few more punches like Pip suggested. "I don't know all the details, mostly what I heard on the radio. It all ties into her trying to protect a killer, I think. Okay, that's not much clearer, is it?"

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

"Not really," Pip says. "I think it'll probably be one of those things that I'll find out about sooner or later. Knowing this place, it'll probably be really dramatic. And it will involve zombies. Who's your little brother?"

He tilts his head to the side. "I think that's enough for now. I don't want to wear you out before your class."

[[OOC: I did it again!]]

"Walter," Cameron replies. "I told him the short explanation. No zombies, just vampires."

He chuckles a bit. "One hunderd percent Mitchell energy, hard to wear out, man. But you're probably right. I appreciate the help, though."

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

Pip laughs. "I know Walter. Good kid. Probably one of the few humans in my grade I couldn't beat in a fight. Well, a straight up fair fight. That's my most important lesson to you, actually. Screw honor. Fight unfairly. If there was ever some sort of huge student brawl here, I'd be up against robots and mutants and God knows what. I have two options. Die. Or fight smarter."

Pip nods. "Any time, man. The way people have been bugging me, I think I might have to start scheduling classes. You know if that's allowed 'round here?"

"Let's hope Rover gets them all before it gets out of hand because you might be right there," he chuckles.

"You could start a club, but I think I saw Alanna put up posters about some sort of Self-Defence club. Maybe you could see if she needs a hand? She's pretty cool."
