The Salle, Saturday

[iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com]

Cassndra hadn't spent much time in the salle, really. It had always seemed too... public somehow (despite the fact that she sometimes practiced on the roof or the lawn, both fairly public places). But she'd been feeling restless lately and... public might well be good. If she were lucky someone might show up she could spar with.

Until and unless that happened she planned to simply go through her morning routine.

[ooc: Open and stuff!]

Jack was worried about the state of his guns, Lefty and Righty. So he decided to get in some workout time, do some running, some jumping jacks or something in the salle.

Cassandra didn't pause when she saw him enter. She planned to finish her routine first.

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

He waved slightly and stepped off to the side, just watching, not interrupting.

[iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com]

She knew he was there, but she didn't wave back. Not immediately anyway.

Eventually, of course, she threw a final kick and settled into a relaxed stance. "Hey," she offered without turning toward Jack.

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

"Hi," he returned, waving.


Yes, he was waving at a girl who wasn't facing him. "What was that?"

[iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com]

"Morning warm-up," she answered as she turned to him. "I've been doing it since I was little." Not that she was especially large now, but she'd been smaller before.

"That's all the kung fu stuff?" he said, striking a kung fu pose. Which was horribly off and laughable if it wasn't so darn serious.

[iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com]

"Um..." Not really. "Sort of."

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

"You're pretty good at it. I've done some boxing and wrestling and stuff, but not the kung fu." He smiled. "You fight other people like that?"

Anemone had no idea what she was going to do in the salle as she padded into the room, but she was bored, and possibly curious as to how much of her aerial gymnastics she could transfer from LFO maneuvering to working as herself.

Cassandra had had it drilled into her at a young age that you always finished what you started. She noted Anemone's entrance, but finished what she was doing. A final punch and kick series settling into a relaxed stance which she held in silence.

Then, abruptly, she spun and grinned, "Hey."

[death-of-hope.livejournal.com]

Anemone would be the last person to interrupt someone mid-fight, even if it was only with yourself.

She quietly began moving through some of her more basic exercises in slow motion, wincing at how out of shape she was. Dewey would have shot her for getting so sloppy.

"Hey yourself." she said, looking up from her stretches. "Having fun?"

[iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com]

She shrugged, "I guess? I've been doing this one since I was a little girl. I guess it's familiar..." Her head tilted slightly, "What about you?"

[death-of-hope.livejournal.com]

"Translation," she said simply. "I'm used to being taller. Stronger. Not needing to deal with gravity. I need to re-learn how to move as now-me, instead of what I was."

[iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com]

Cassandra frowned, not really understanding... That didn't stop her from asking, "Can I help?"

[death-of-hope.livejournal.com]

Anemone saw the confusion and giggled slightly. "I used to be merged with a giant robot," she said dryly, "I am obviously no longer a giant robot."

"Maybe." Anemone tilted her head to watch the other girl before grinning, hand flashing out to try and tap her on the shoulder. "Tag, you're it."

[iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com]

Oh, tag! Cassandra's face split into a huge grin as Anemone's hand brushed her shoulder, but she didn't move immediately. "Any rules?" she smirked.

It's practice time! stupid error messages and things not getting posted In came Billy with his sword, ready to hack imaginary foes to festive holiday ribbons. Hikeeba!

[iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com]

Cassandra was just settling into the final stance of her series as Billy came in. After a brief moment of stillness she turned and offered him a nod.

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

Billy smiled when he saw her, and nodded as well. "Good practice?"

[iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com]

After a moment to consider the question, Cassandra nodded again. "Pretty good."

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Excellent. After I warm up, do you want to spar maybe?"

as a side note, Billy is attracted to her, but guessing that might make her uncomfortable is trying to hide it.

[iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com]

"Sure. Weapons or unarmed?"

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Hmm, let's say weapons since we're in the Salle. Do you have a favorite one?"

[iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com]

"You pick," she offered. Either she'd know it or she could pick it up.
