How did this use to go?

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Apr 04, 2013 2:18 pm

Will, in full uniform, entered the weight room, looking around dubiously. Being off the cuff required too much planning.

Elena looked up from where she was doing some light arm curls, obviously stressing endurance over mass. "Hello, Will. Is something wrong?" She indicated the uniform.

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Apr 05, 2013 3:20 pm

"Hrm? Oh! Oh, no, no. Just, erm... just getting ready for some...physical therapy, I guess you'd call it?"

by **Elena Rousseau** » Fri Apr 05, 2013 4:46 pm

"Oh. Good good. How are you doing?"

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Apr 05, 2013 4:56 pm

"Not as good as I should be? Says my doctors, anyway," he said, with a sheepish laugh. "And yourself?"

by **Elena Rousseau** » Fri Apr 05, 2013 4:57 pm

"A little stressed, but this is relaxing me a little. I expect after what you've been through, it would take a while to get back to good."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Apr 05, 2013 7:11 pm

"Yeah, there's been some, you know, psychological problems to go along with the physical ones. So, you know, it's nice to hear I'm officially crazy, rather than just playing one on TV."

by **Elena Rousseau** » Fri Apr 05, 2013 9:30 pm

"Yeah, I can understand that after seeing that place. I still have a few nightmares about it myself and I was only there for a little bit."

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Apr 06, 2013 12:19 pm

"Oddly enough, you've probably seen more of it than I have...

...We've gotta catch those guys."

by **Elena Rousseau** » Sat Apr 06, 2013 12:31 pm

"No argument from me. Anything I can do to help, I will." She finished her set and stood, "Need someone to spot for you?"

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Apr 06, 2013 2:26 pm

"Hrm? Oh! Oh, no, I don't, uh, do much weight training. The reason's fairly obvious, I suppose," he said, shifting into a much more muscular version of himself.

by **Elena Rousseau** » Sat Apr 06, 2013 4:43 pm

"I suppose I see your point," she said. "Still, I see the folks with super strength in here working out on occasion. So there might still be some benefit to it."

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Apr 06, 2013 4:45 pm

"Even they, though, come from a physical stance -- for me, endurance is more the thing to work on. I've been letting it slide..."

by **Elena Rousseau** » Sat Apr 06, 2013 4:48 pm

"That's more or less what I'm working on. And I think you're a little justified in letting it slide."

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Apr 06, 2013 7:38 pm

"Well, my doctors say otherwise, and who am I to argue?" he said, with an abashed grin.

by **Elena Rousseau** » Sat Apr 06, 2013 8:29 pm

"The patient," she said, laughing. "So what are you here to do?"

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Apr 06, 2013 10:57 pm

"Well, I'm not sure... I didn't want to monopolize the danger room, you know? Some people have important things to do. Just looking for opportunities to extend myself."

by **Elena Rousseau** » Sun Apr 07, 2013 7:55 pm

"Extend yourself how exactly?"

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Apr 07, 2013 9:24 pm

"Well, erm....to be honest, I wasn't expecting anyone to be here in the weight room when I showed up, so maybe this isn't a good time..." he said, abashedly.

by **Elena Rousseau** » Sun Apr 07, 2013 9:50 pm

"I can close my eyes if that would help. Seriously, Will, whatever you want to do, go for it. I promise not to tell anyone."

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Apr 07, 2013 11:04 pm

"Nah, it's not the same -- I mean, you'd know I was here."

Will paused for a moment.

"Uh, not that I was going to, like, be a peeping tom or some shit! No, man, that came out wrong."

by **Elena Rousseau** » Mon Apr 08, 2013 1:54 pm

"Will," Elena said with a laugh, "Don't worry about it. Do what you need to do."

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Apr 08, 2013 2:41 pm

"I do worry about it, though that might be because I was a git in high school.

Then again, I suppose that describes most of us, aye?"

by **Elena Rousseau** » Mon Apr 08, 2013 2:47 pm

"I think 'git' and 'high school student' are listed as synonyms in the dictionary."

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Apr 08, 2013 2:54 pm

"Yeah, this is true.

Were you around when we were hit with that age whammy a while back? I can never remember."

by **Elena Rousseau** » Mon Apr 08, 2013 3:15 pm

"I've been here a while, but I think I avoided the excitement. Had my nose in a book most of the time."

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Apr 08, 2013 4:39 pm

"Well, good on you. Reliving high school years isn't something most people would want to go through again."

by **Elena Rousseau** » Mon Apr 08, 2013 5:28 pm

"I know I don't. Awkward and exploding things unintentionally. Not really my idea of a fun time."

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Apr 08, 2013 5:48 pm

"Yeah -- it's the story of why my hair's green and all that.

Anyway, yeah. Just brought up memories of when I, erm, used to throw caution to the wind..."

by **Elena Rousseau** » Mon Apr 08, 2013 5:50 pm

"I still do that every once in a while. Alcohol is usually involved."

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Apr 08, 2013 6:23 pm

"Heh, yeah. I suppose that brings back the old stuff, though thankfully, apart from the mind-juju, I haven't reverted to hiding out in places."

by **Elena Rousseau** » Mon Apr 08, 2013 6:26 pm

"So long as you aren't hiding out in the women's locker room, I think hiding out would be fine on occasion," she teased.

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Apr 08, 2013 6:55 pm

"...See, that thing about being glad I"m not in high school anymore?"

by **Elena Rousseau** » Mon Apr 08, 2013 7:01 pm

"We all make mistakes."

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Apr 08, 2013 7:40 pm

"Sometimes regularly for a period of several years."

by **Elena Rousseau** » Mon Apr 08, 2013 7:46 pm

"We're all human after all."

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Apr 08, 2013 7:55 pm

"So people keep reminding me."

by **Elena Rousseau** » Mon Apr 08, 2013 9:08 pm

"Everyone needs a little reminder now and again, especially with the things we can do."

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Apr 08, 2013 11:29 pm

"You ever get a kick out of using your power? I mean, just using it -- like, an endorphin rush or anything?"

by **Elena Rousseau** » Tue Apr 09, 2013 6:28 am

"Sometimes. When I use it to do something cool, I get that rush. But I think that's normal."
