Camp Gym - Wednesday Evening

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Just because he'd had a karate workshop earlier didn't mean that Peter had trained enough for the day.

He stretched out then attacked the heavy bag like it had insulted his sister.  This was Fandom after all, and one never knew when that might actually happen.

Pippi flounced into the gym and snagged herself a jumprope.

"Evening Sir Peter." she said bobbing a curtsey.

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter bowed back to Pippi, "and a good evening to you, Your Highness."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"I hope the ferocity with which you attack that bag is a reflection to the intensity of your focus and not of how your day has gone."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"Sometimes it's better to hit the bag than a person, hmm?" Peter said, then he grinned a bit doofily, "though I can't complain too much about my day. How has yours been."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"It's my rule of thumb to do so, unless one is fighting for life and limb o'course." Pippi smiled at the doofy grin, wondering who it was for. "Less exciting then the day before, but pretty good."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"I can't argue with that," Peter replied. "Not one bit. So what happened yesterday then?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Spelunking!" she said skipping rope.

Dawn entered the gym, waved to Pippi, and glared at Peter, just on principle. "Stickbug."

She began stretching, then went over to the swords and selected one and began doing the same stretching movements, but holding the sword and making it part of the routine.

Peter bowed to Dawn as she came in. "My lady Meerkat."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Want to go a few rounds?" She asked, swinging the sword lazily.

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter grinned. "With certainty." He left the bag to find a balanced practice sword. Saluting Dawn with it, he moved onto the mats.

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

She saluted back and took her place opposite him, balancing on the balls of her feet as she wrapped her right hand firmly along the hilt.

"So, where'd you learn to swing a sword?"

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"It rather goes with the territory," Peter said with a grin. "I'm a knight." He began circling a bit, staying fully balanced, but from all looks was waiting for Dawn to attack him. "What about you?"

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

Oh, it just figured. Dawn circled back away from Peter, waiting to see how he moved before she attacked. "My sister taught me, but I had to learn a lot on my own."

Yeah, this wasn't one of her better ideas.

Pippi waved back at Dawn.

"Hi!"

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Hi!" She blushed for a minute, then decided to go with it. "I'm Dawn and I can't remember whether we've met, and I'm really embarrassed about it."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi thought about it.

"I don't remember either, so we can be embarrassed together!" she said smiling. "I'm Pippi, Pippi Longstocking. I'm a Sophomore, I'm from Sweden. I was raised on a Pirate ship by my Papa. And I normally live on the 5th floor of the doorms but I'm in the Squirrel cabin just now."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Raised on a pirate ship? Cool!" Dawn grinned. "I'm from California, I was raised mostly by my sister and her friends, I normally live on the third floor of the dorms, but I'm a Meerkat now," she said. "What're you doing here?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Well, I'm at the gym to jump rope and get some exercise." she said. "but I came to school here because my friend Annika said that she thought this would be just the sort of school for me... Also? There was this ol' lady who kept trying to put me in a children's home because my Papa was always out at sea and my mother is in heaven. Going away to school seemed to be the best way to get her off my back."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Wow," Dawn said. "I'm sorry about your mom. But why is this the sort of school for you?"

Alanna came into the gym in a generally good mood. Which is why she went to stretch out first.

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter bowed to Alanna as she came in.

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

Alanna bowed back and began to stretch out her shoulder.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi waved to Alanna.

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

Alanna waved back.
