Gym

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angel was down in the gym. He'd already had Self Defense class that day, but right now he felt like there was no such thing as too much practice.

He went through some drills of his own, keeping his eye on the door so he could stop once Molly arrived.

[ooc: He's here for Molly, but anybody could use the gym. Molly thread is NFB.]

Molly stopped inside the door of the gym and looked around until she spotted Angel. She grinned and started over.

"Hey, Angel. The meeting was so busy the other night, I didn't get to ask what all we'd be practicing tonight so I brought my new stake (http://www.thegreendragon.us/images/MahoganyVampireStake.jpg)." She smiled and pulled it out of her back pocket to show him.

"Mahogany, nice," Angel said. "Where'd you get it?"

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly beamed. "My secret sibling gave it to me."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"How... psychic of them," Angel said. He decided not to ask if this had been given before or after Dru and Darla's publically known attacks. He didn't want to know if a secret sibling had been arming Molly against him.

"How do you feel holding it? Guessing 'too heavy' isn't a problem."

Molly looked down at the stake as she shifted it around in her grip. "I'm not really used to holding an actual weapon. I'll sometimes pick up stuff to hit people with, but then I just get a hold of it however." She tipped the stake up and examined the pointed end. "And I'm not really used to stabby weapons."

She looked up at Angel as she switched the stake over to her left hand so that she could hold up her right fist. "I'm much more familiar with blunt force." She smiled.

"Nothing wrong with that," Angel said. "If you can hit a vamp away from you, or into the path of somebody who can kill it, you still helped out the team."

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

"Yes," Molly nodded, "but I'd much rather help get rid of them than shift them over for someone else to kill." She took the stake in both hands and held it out to him. "So, can you show me how to use this before I try?"

It wasn't that unusual for Callisto to be practicing swordwork in the gym, and if she was doing drills more suited for battle than fencing, well you never knew when another snowman army would attack.

Angel shot a smile in her direction. "Hey."

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

Slash. Step. Stab. Smile. "Hey."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Nice form."

It was entirely possible he was talking about her fighting style.

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"Not so bad yourself," It was even odd as to whether she was referring to his drills or not. "Always good to get some more practice in though."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"I agree," Angel said. He might've started moving in sync with her, but a guy needed to get those drills in. Nothing symbolic there at all. "So, wanted to ask you something."

Angela has way, way, way too much energy tonight. She's attempting to burn it off on the treadmill, keeping up a fast race-walk that occasionally becomes a slow jog. Bjork plays over her iPod headphones, and she hums along when she can catch her breath.

She nods greetings to Angel, Cal and Molly, but doesn't approach them.

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly waved back, but quickly went back to paying attention to Angel's instructions.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angel gave her a nod.

Callisto flipped off a quick salute with her sword, before going back to drilling.

Parker came in from watching TV with the common room crew, and went into her routine without really paying attention to people around her. She did stop to say, "Wings? I got those ... plans, you were asking about. When do you want them?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"How about after Campaigning?" Angel suggested. "I should be awake then."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker nodded, then went back to beating the hell out of the bag.

She might have been a little, tiny bit nervous about Friday.

Having changed in to his workout sweats, Bridge heads down to the gym to get in some extra practice.

He looks around for a spot on the mats that won't be in anyone else's way, and then starts to work through a kata.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Bridge," Angel called over.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Dude!" Bridge pauses to wave at Angel. "How's it goin'?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Not bad," Angel replied. "Thanks for the help with the Blackberry. I can actually read email now."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Eh, no problem, dude." Bridge says with a shrug. "Something like that's not much use if you can't, well, *use* it, yanno."
