Campsite Gym - Thursday Morning

[untouchableskin.livejournal.com]

Marie woke up suprisingly early and realized that she had been slacking in keeping up with her stretching and other ballet exercises. In fact, she hadn't done anything physical at all, aside from walking to and from classes. If she was going to be a cheerleader, she'd need to be in shape.

So she headed to the gym and began doing a series of stretching exercises in the middle of the floor.



[open for all your gym-ly needs!]

Still not having worked out all his issues sparring with Alanna last night, Bel headed for the gym, going straight for the punching bag again. There were bruises on his face from where Alanna's punches had connected.

Marie looked up from the floor, ready to tease Bel, as usual, but she immediately sensed that joking would not be welcome.

She studied him quietly for a moment, noting the bruises, before asking, "Are you okay?"

[demonbelthazor]

"Yeah," he said. "Just lowered my guard while sparring last night."

"You were sparring last night and you're back this morning?" Marie said, a questioning tone in her voice.

John showed up to the gym to kick ass and do katas. Well, kata first.

Marie smiled. "Do you need me to move to one side of the floor?" she asked.

[let's try that with the right icon!]

John stared at her for a moment. She looked familiar... but with all the new faces, he couldn't place her. The accent, though...

"Naw, you should be fine. I'll just work over here."

"Okay," Marie said with a smile. "I'm Marie, by the way. Pretty sure we haven't met yet."

Pippi wandered in and went directly for the jumpropes.

"Morning gym peoples."

[untouchableskin.livejournal.com]

"Good morning," Marie said. She'd finally finished stretching and was now off in a corner of the gym, running through some barre exercises, supporting herself on the handles of an exercise bike.

"Have we met?" Pippi said tilting her head at Marie... "I kinda missed the day everybody was going around with nametags... I'm Pippi, Pippi Longstocking."

She approached the other girl with her hand out.

[untouchableskin.livejournal.com]

"I'm Marie," she said, shaking the proffered hand. "Nice to meet you."

Gwynn stopped in at the gym to start doing more of her sword work and some more of her training moves. She might have been smiling.

[untouchableskin.livejournal.com]

Marie smiled at another person she hadn't met, but by now she had her leg thrown up on the handlebars of the exercise bike and was running through a series of plies and releves, so couldn't wave.

Gwynn smiled back and did another sweep with the practice sword.

[untouchableskin.livejournal.com]

Marie watched Gwynn practice with her sword as she did her ballet exercises.

Swords looked a lot cooler than ballet. And probably more practical around here.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi waved to Gwynn.

"Greetings fellow Squirrel!"

[notafairmaiden.livejournal.com]

"Hello, fellow Squirrel! How are you this fairly cloudy morn?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Hale and harty!" she answered skipping rope. "And yourself?"

Tyler headed to the gym after talking to Cam.

He was a little sore because of the match the night before, but he shook it off as he started a set of reps on the weight machines.

Marie was still using the exercise bike as a makeshift bar. "Good morning," she said.

[tyler-gone.livejournal.com]

"Morning," Tyler said.

He watched Marie stretch against the bike for a minute. "Think that'll work?" he asked.

Parker came in after Wilderness Survival, muttering, then started in on her Thai boxing routine on the mat. Punch, punch, kick-punch.

[untouchableskin.livejournal.com]

Marie was finishing up her stretches and exercises when Parker came in.

"Hi," she said with a wave. "Parker, right?"

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Yes. Marie? Haven't seen you around since that first week in the common rooms." Parker slowed down her routine, and bent over to catch her breath. "What do you think of the change of venue?"
