Sixty Eighth Sip

[It's the first time she's bothered talking on the journals, unfiltered, for over a month. She's stayed in Brock's cabin, avoiding everyone, hating the castle for taking away such an important part of her life here. She's not exactly sure what it was that pulled her out of the darkness. Perhaps it was the realisation that his birthday had come and gone. Perhaps it was because she realised she was moping about like a fool, letting her heart rule her head in ways she swore it never would. Regardless, Maladict's tone is even when she speaks]

I'm in the mood to go find things and either shoot and/or punch them. Who'd like to accompany me to the gym or shooting range. It'd be nice to have some company.

I'm game. My shooting and hand-to-hand skills are all pretty rusty and I'd like to get back into shape.

[mal_addict]

Great, which would you like to do first?

[forsometimenow]

I'll go with shooting. I haven't been exercising much lately, so I'd likely be down in two minutes flat if I tried to spar instead.

[mal_addict]

Sounds like a plan to me. I'll meet you on the range.

[forsometimenow]

Be right there.

[panicswitched]

Anytime you want. Call it payback.

[mal_addict]

[Oh hey Ashley, hey. She lets out a steady breath]

Sure. I can live with that.

[panicswitched]

Name your time. And place of choice.

[mal_addict]

Right now, same old place?

[whistles_the_blues]

I'm up for either. Better equipped to shoot then go hand to hand, but I can do both.

[mal_addict]

How tough are you? I'd rather not...break body parts.

[whistles_the_blues]

I don't think you have to worry about that. I'm mostly ceramic titanium.

[mal_addict]

...I don't know what that is.

I mostly hit things with sticks these days, but we could go up on the roof and water balloon bomb people?

Mark

[mal_addict]

...

You know what? Yeah. That sounds like fun.

Sarge

[hard_talker]

Cool. I'll meet you up there. M'I bringin' the iced coffee, or are you?

Mark

[mal_addict]

Better be you. I think I've taken enough of Brock's coffee by now.

[originalcopy]

Yeah, why not. I haven't done much shooting since I got here.

But you have to show me how far you've gotten on the juggling act.

[mal_addict]

[That gets a small, amused sound from her]

You've got a deal. I think you'll be impressed.

[originalcopy]

Oh yeah... I'm pretty tough to impress.

[He'll just go fetch his sniper rifle and make his way to the shooting range. Amused as hell that she's actually been juggling.]

[mal_addict]

And I'm pretty impressive. We'll see how that works out.

[Adn she'll be there, firing with her horsebow. She has a selection of knives on one side, though, too]

[both_neither]

I'm game.

[mal_addict]

I knew I could count on you.

[both_neither]

What can I say? I'm a sucker for casual violence. As long as it's against inanimate objects.

[mal_addict]

Sometimes it's fun against animate objects too, so long as they're prepared for it.
