Gym, Tuesday Morning

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

Pip is a gym person. It helps him stay in shape so he can earn more of the large stacks of money. Such as the one he had up in his room.

Mmmm, money. It tastes goooooood.

However since he just got finished with a job, Pip elected to take it light with a simple treadmill workout.

Pip is a gym person. It's a well known fact.

"Good morning."

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

"Morning," Pip said.

Hey, he's on the treadmill. You try being verbose on the treadmill.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Have you shaken off the ill effects of your flight?" she asked leaning on said treadmill.

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

Pip nodded.

He pointed at the treadmill display to indicate that he still had ten minutes left in his workout.

Pippi nodded and grabbed a jumprope to occupy herself until he was done.

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

Pip hit the "cool down button" on the treadmill and let it slow down into an easy jog. "You and your jumpropes."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"It's a favorite of little girls and big fuckoff boxers." she said.

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

"And which would you be?" Pip asked.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Possibly some combination therein." she said skipping and bouncing closer to the treadmill.

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

"A little girl boxer?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"I'm not that little." Pippi said pouting slightly. "Of course, I'm not that big either..."

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

Pip grinned. "I'm 6'4, Me-pi. Most everyone at this school is little compared to me."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"I don't suppose I can argue with that." Pippi said as her skipping slowed and stopped.

"... So."

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

"La ti do?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi laughed.

"I'm about to ask you again if you want to go out with me, so you have a few moments to formulate your story about how you have to fly off to Arundi Barundi ."

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

"Alright... give me a second..." Pip looked up at the ceiling as he jogged, then turned back to Pippi. "Go."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Pip? Would you like to go out with me?"

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

'I can't, I have to go to Krakozhia. ... I think that's a real country."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Is the man who kicked your puppy there?"

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

"Er... yes. Only I've never actually had a puppy. Only a kitten."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"How long will you be gone tracking down this dangerous kitten-kicker?"

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

"Er... I dunno. I have no idea where my made-up country is supposed to be."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi folds her arms and drums her fingers.

"So do you have time to go out before you must leave on your imaginary yet perilous journey or just enough time for a quick snog?"

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

Pip shrugged. "I don't know. You're the one who wanted me to make up an excuse."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Maybe we should try this again."

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

"Okie dokie."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Pip... For the third time would you like to go out with me?"

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

"Sure," Pip said.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Yay."

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

"Anything in particular you want to do? Or should we just give in and go to Cafe Fina?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Well. We could go to Cafe Fina... Walter promised not to put... Something in your food. I forget what." she said. "Or we could take my boat and sneak off to the mainland?"

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

Pip slowed the treadmill to a stop and leaned over it. "Well, I leave that choice up to the lady. I certainly have enough cash to cover Cafe Fina. Especially considering our "Alfred likes us" discount."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi grabbed a towel that was sitting on a nearby bench and brought it over to him.

"It is a good discount." Pippi mused. "We could go out to the mainland after dinner at Cafe Fina... Because the lady is greedy like that. Being descendent from a long line of pirates."

And because the possibility of somebody trying to mug us goes up after getting off the island and that's just funny.

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

"When in doubt," Pip said. "Go with both. Thank you." He accepted the towel.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Yes." she said leaning on the treadmill. "You're welcome."

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

"So what day?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Do you have anything after Stealth class? I don't have anything at all on Thursday... Or we could roll the dice and have it on Saturday. Hope nothing too wierd happens this weekend."

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

"Saturday is more traditional, I think," Pip said.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Tradition can be good." Pippi nodded.

Hopefully they'll be in their own bodies and not turned into children or possibly duckbilled platypi...

Zombies? Right out.

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

Pip nodded. "So, Saturday at, say, 7:00?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Seven o'clock." Pippi said. Because Pip asked her to say it.
