Workout [Open log]

Who: Marisa Kirisame, Ryou Bakura, anyone else who goes to the Gym
What: General interactions (open), creepy Vermini encounter (closed)
Where: Bob's Lift to Win Gym
When: Late enough that it's dark out
Warning: Sweat. Bugs.

Marisa emerged from the women's locker room in her street clothes, feeling tired, sore, and healthy. Ever since she had realized that this whole numbers business was potentially seriously dangerous, she had been coming here twice a week to take a self-defense class. She liked to imagine that she was a bit more capable now than she had been a few months ago, but realistically still placed her own skill level at Rank Amateur.

She stopped as she was walking by the snack bar by the exit, lured by the thought of smoothies. After a moment's thought, she decided that the grilled cheese sandwich she'd made for dinner wasn't cutting it, and stopped to get a snack. Nothing like a delicious apple/peach smoothie after a long workout on a hot night. She leaned back in one of the leather chairs by the snack bar and took her time enjoying it. Anyone from the network who goes to the gym can probably recognize her.

Marisa finally left the building and immediately noticed that the sun had finished going down while she had been drinking her smoothie, and that the lights in the parking lot were on the fritz, leaving it almost pitch black out. Combined with the total lack of people around for the moment, she was more than a little bit creeped out.

Fortunately her truck wasn't far. She could make out its silhouette from here.

Bakura nodded. "Not the type to just carry a knife to gut someone, eh?" he teased lightly before taking a long drink of his smoothy. "Probably better that way."

Bakura blinked a few times, watching her as he slurped through his straw, rotating his shoulder again.

Bakura blinked a few times at it, hefting in his palm a few times to feel out the weight. "Looks like something for I-ching," he observed before putting down his smooth and pulling out his phone to thumb for an image. "Like an incense holder or something..." he mused before holding up the phone to show her an image of an i ching hexagram circle.

"Does it still do that weird air thingi when no one's holding it? It might have one of those "uses the electricity of your hand to power a fan" thingis in it."

And if not? It was significantly more awesome.

He paused a moment.

"Wait, what hat?"

"You might have and I might have just forgotten," Bakura admitted, holding it out for her to take back as he pocketed his phone again. "So some kinda Chinese witch, then? What you're remembering from, I mean. Between the hat and windbox."

"Think everybody's on the same page with that," Bakura agreed, taking another slurp off his drink. "It's like getting just fragments of awesome TV shows or something."
shiromadoushi: (Shiranai kedo...)

He shook his head. "One big hitch in that. Diabound. Pretty dang sure that a creature born of soul can only reside in the soul he was born from."

Bakura nodded. "Think I'm gonna go beat up a couple more sandbags first. Only place where I can just go out it with no worries of breaking stuff, ya know?" he smiled before pausing. "...You going by yourself or you got someone picking you up?"
shiromadoushi: (Yo!)

[personal profile] shiromadoushi 2013-07-13 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)
"Bike. As in the type you peddle," Bakura returned.

Him and cars.... were not on speaking terms. He could manage in his grandmother's boat of a station wagon and he had survived the trip in Lyall's car, but if he could help it? He'd rather walk or take the bus.
shiromadoushi: (Anime: I'm fine no really...)

Bakura couldn't catch himself in time not to blanch at the suggestion, shaking his head. "N-- no, that's fine," he assured, trying to recover with a smile. It took a second before he did, however. Normally he could cover easily enough but he had relaxed and the suggestion caught him off guard...

"Wouldn't want to leave my bike behind anyway!"
shiromadoushi: (Yo!)

Sure! I can drop him down to the parking lot one?

[personal profile] shiromadoushi 2013-07-16 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
If it saves him the trouble of having to turn down a ride? Good!

He nodded, taking a long, noisey slurp of his drink. "See you around, then!" he announced, getting up and chucking the cup into the bin. Pulling the towel around his shoulders up into a knot to hold back his hair, he thumped down the stairs of the snack area, back out into the gym proper.
