Fandom High Dormitories

Aeryn couldn't sleep and didn't want to wake John up, so she went for an early run. It was barely light, and it was a little different route than she usually took since she wasn't in the dorms, which is why she went past where there was some electrical work going on at the ruins of the school.

A figure could be seen by an electrical transformer. The same figure could also be heard making strange grunting noises as he connected wires in a seemingly dangerous way.

That got her to stop, coming closer to investigate. "Are you all right?" she asked, because that grunting didn't sound normal to her.

The figure turned around and took off his welding mask. "Huh? Oh, hi. I'm fine. I'm just rigging up some new electrical service for the school."

Aeryn frowned, asking, "Isn't it a bit early for that?"

The man scoffed. "Well, first I had to shut down power to the building for the clean-up crew. But since I was here anyway, I hooked up the brand new Binford Electrical Generator EP2600. This thing is great. Even after light bulbs burn out they'll still give off light because there will be so much more power!" He then let loose with a triple grunt to indicate his awe of the more power.

He worried her just a little. "Isn't that dangerous?" she asked. "That seems like a little more electricity than anyone needs."

"Do you know how much power a school like this uses up?" the man asked. "It's a lot. This will just help the place meet the power demands. I'm going to give this thing a test run. Want to watch?"

"...I don't think so," said Aeryn, taking a step further back just to be safe.

"No, come on. It won't hurt," the man said. He put on dark goggles and flipped a big switch on the Binford Electrical Generator EP2600. He stepped back towards Aeryn and handed her goggles, too. "Here. Just in case."

"I really don't think you should be doing this without a supervisor," said Aeryn, but took the goggles almost absently.

"I've been working with stuff like this for years. I don't need a supervisor," the man said. As if on cue, the Binford Electrical Generator EP2600 gave off a massive spark. All lights nearby suddenly went out. And then the Binford Electrical Generator EP2600 caught fire. "Uh oh," the man grunted.

There was a long pause while Aeryn took in what had just happened.

"I told you so."

For the record, Aeryn did leave the gym last night. She just wandered around rather than going back to 238. John had said he'd be gone when she got back, so she's really not in a rush to go back to an empty room. So she's back in the gym, working on zero sleep, trying not to think too much as she takes out her frustrations on the punching bag, and failing miserably at that.

[Open!]

Aeryn would love spring break if she had something to distract her from personal stuff. As it is, she doesn't, so she heads down to the gym to work some of it off.

She drops her water bottle off on the mat, and pulls the gloves on before she starts hitting the punching bag. On one hand, the big thing that she's been dealing with for four months is more or less over with, and all that's left now is adjusting to it. It's nothing she won't get over, it just takes some time to get used to the way things are now.

And on the other hand, there's still another mess she's still dealing with with John, so she figures it's better to work off some of the frustrated, confused stuff so she can focus on things like that. By wailing on a defenseless punching bag.

[Open like an open thing.]

Aeryn makes her way to the gym as normal, save for the little egg baby she's carrying with her. She discovered last night that eggs kind of roll when you just leave them on a flat surface (especially with a curious DRD trying to poke at it), so she's also carrying said egg baby in a bowl cushioned with a dish towel. Because leaving it just in the bowl itself seemed kind of sad. At least she's appropriately embarrassed about this.

She puts the bowl down where she can see it, gets the gloves, and does a quick warmup before Rory arrives.

[Thread for Aeryn and Rory locked to them. Otherwise the gym is open.]

This is like the third week in a row Aeryn's had to hit things before anyone comes down to the gym. That has to be some sort of record, even for her. Her phone's laying on the mat, off to the side and out of the way, too. It's also turned up really loudly, just in case anyone should decide to call. Not that one thing has anything to do with the other.

[For tatooine_doofus. I'm going to work soon, but the gym is open, should your character decide to get into gear. *nods*]

Aeryn's in a much better mood than she should be, really. John can be really good for that sometimes. She heads down to the gym, starting in on the bag as a warmup, but she's not trying to kill it today.

Okay, just a little. But not too bad.


[For Luke. Also, I'm going to work soon, but feel free to use for all your gymly needs.]

Aeryn's in the gym even earlier than usual today, due to the fact that it was the second night in a row she hasn't really slept, and there comes a point when trying to sleep becomes annoying. It's also the second week in a row she's down here beating the hell out of the punching bag.

[For tatooine_doofus, but open. Aeryn herself is not huge on talking, though.]

Spending two days in black and white? Hasn't really made Aeryn blink twice. She didn't turn five, didn't end up with weird superpowers, could speak like a normal person, didn't have to clean up anyone's blood for any reason, and can remember everything that happened. So that means it hasn't been a bad weekend.

It also means she's in the gym as normal, stretching out a little as she waits for Peter.

[For peter__parker, but open.]

Aeryn's in the gym early again, mostly to get in a quick workout before starting practice with the bag. She's been kind of slacking the last week, which is weird for her, and feels she should probably make up for it.

[For tatooine_doofus but open. I'm gone in half an hour, though, so SP is love.]

After fifth period is over, Aeryn bypasses going up to her room to go straight down to the gym. Peter's out of classes first, but she likes to try to get there early to warm up a little. She drops her bag at the door, gets out her gloves, and starts out easy on the bag.


[Mostly for peter__parker whenever he's around, but open like woah.]

Aeryn isn't out too early this morning, but she figures she has time for a run before she has to go to class this afternoon. She's probably going to be paranoid about the weather for the rest of the summer, which is why as soon as she finishes stretching, she's using the little weather checker thing John gave her to make sure she's okay to do this.

Stupid planet.
