The Gym: Wednesday Afternoon

[buzzkillcaptain.livejournal.com]

Dipper decided today to do something healthy. Like work out with the weight machine to try to perform a bench press.

Jalian laughed and rolled her eyes. "No. Most of them cannot hunt, even, or defend themselves." She thought for a moment. "They have many more kinds of food, though. And freeways and cars. Those are good."

"They break easily, the cars."

[kenselvren]

"Sometimes." Jalian shrugged. "But there are always more. There are a lot of cars."
