Gym, Saturday Morning

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

Pip yawned a little as he went through a stretching routine and waited for Engligh Peter to show up. The Luau had been fun last night, but he had a feeling some people were probably nursing Hangovers of Doom right about now.


_{[[OOC: Pip's here to teach English Peter, but it's not like I can physically stop you from using the gym, I suppose.]]}

"Me? Scared?" Joxer stood tall. "What's there to be scared of?"

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"Oh, I can think of a few things," Callisto said. "But don't worry, I'll go easy on you."

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

Joxer laughed, in a way that was very nervous but he tried to pass off as cocky. "You want me to tie an arm behind my back?"

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"Please, this'll be little enough challenge as is."

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

"Hey now," Joxer said, getting his sword up into ready position. "I've trained all my life to be a great warrior, so I'm deadlier than I look."

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"And I've spent the last seven years actually killing people so I'm kinda good at gauging deadliness."

Callisto aimed an overhead blow at Joxer.

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

Well, Joxer's not dumb enough to just stand there and take it. So he sidesteps. Just enough to take the blow right on top of the head.

He blinked and made a face. "Hey, I wasn't ready."

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

Callisto swung at his knees before replying. "A 'great warrior' is always ready."

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

Joxer took the wooden sword right against his kneecaps with a hard crack.

He grimaced and swung his sword wildly. "I was just taken by surprise, that's all."

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"Surprise? You got more warning that most people do." Callisto parried the swung effortlessly and aimed a jab at Joxer's midsection.

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

Joxer actually manages to jump back out of the way of the jab. He points and laughs. "Ha! You missed!"

Of course, the thing is, he's now left himself wide open again.

And unless Joxer dodged, the flat of Callisto's sword was going to make contact with his butt any second now.

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

Joxer jumped up when the sword connected with his rear, which promptly caused him to fall on his back.

"Ow."

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

Callisto went to tap his hubcap chestplate with the tip of her sword. "You're dead."

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

Joxer grumbled. "I guess I am," he said. He rubbed his forehead. "You got some nice moves. And a whole lot of luck."

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

Cue more eyerolling. "Luck has nothing to do with it."

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

"I'm just saying, catch me on a good day, and our roles would easily be reversed," Joxer said. "But hey, this doesn't mean we can't be friends, right?"

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

Callisto raised an eyebrow. "You couldn't take me on your best day."

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

"Could to," Joxer said. He rolled over and got to his feet. "But if you want to keep thinking otherwise, well, I guess I won't stop you."

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"Once again you confuse thinking with knowing."

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

Joxer frowned. "Don't see anyone calling you Callisto the Mighty," he grumbled.

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"If you need a nickname to confirm your place in the world, you haven't got one."

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

Joxer put his practice sword back where it belonged. He just walked out of the gym, rubbing his head and in some desperate need of some ice on his knees.
