I12DT - Gym Employeeship

by **Robyn Delaney** » Mon Aug 12, 2013 2:46 pm

Robyn sat behind a counter in the gym, handling questions from students and checking loose equipment in and out as necessary. It wasn't a particularly great job, but it was what was available and for the most part it kept her busy. There was a lull right now though and she watched a few people working out on the machines while she refolded some of the cleaning cloths that had returned from being laundered.

"You! Gym operator! May I have a word?" said the large Russian woman who walked in.

by **Robyn Delaney** » Tue Aug 13, 2013 6:41 pm

Robyn's mind had been wandering, but the call jerked her back to reality, "Ummm, yes. What can I do for you?"

by **Anastasiya Volkoff** » Tue Aug 13, 2013 6:52 pm

"Are the tiny things in there the biggest weights you have?"

by **Robyn Delaney** » Tue Aug 13, 2013 7:00 pm

"I..." She dug into the counter and pulled out the inventory, "No, I believe there are some heavier weights in the back closet for those with exceptional strength. I think they don't leave them out because they don't want anyone getting hurt."

by **Anastasiya Volkoff** » Tue Aug 13, 2013 8:29 pm

"Well, could you go and get them then, please?"

by **Robyn Delaney** » Wed Aug 14, 2013 7:15 am

"I can go unlock the door," Robyn said, obviously intimidated. "But I won't be able to lift them."

by **Anastasiya Volkoff** » Wed Aug 14, 2013 1:17 pm

"Well, this is why you should have them out. But I shall lift them, then."

by **Robyn Delaney** » Wed Aug 14, 2013 1:19 pm

"Well, I think they don't want people who aren't capable of lifting them hurting themselves by trying," she said, putting a sign up that said 'Back in 5 minutes' and grabbing a set of keys from under the counter.

by **Anastasiya Volkoff** » Wed Aug 14, 2013 1:24 pm

"If they are heavy enough, it would never get to that point, da?

by **Robyn Delaney** » Wed Aug 14, 2013 1:32 pm

"I've only been here a few days and I've already seem people attempt some pretty stupid things," she said, leading the way to the closet and unlocking the door. Inside were super heavy duty racks with large free weights in a variety of metals. Most were branded with weight markings in excess of any normal weight. There were various reinforced bars as well. "The benches capable of handling these are over there," she said, indicating a pair of benches off to one side.

"Ah yes. I don't believe I got your name?"

by **Robyn Delaney** » Wed Aug 14, 2013 1:35 pm

"Robyn... Robyn Delaney," she said, managing a smile.

by **Anastasiya Volkoff** » Wed Aug 14, 2013 1:39 pm

"And I am Anastasiya Volkoff. A pleasure, comrade."

by **Robyn Delaney** » Wed Aug 14, 2013 1:42 pm

"You're from Russia?" Robyn was legitimately trying not to make assumptions, which resulted in what sounded like a stupid question.

by **Anastasiya Volkoff** » Wed Aug 14, 2013 1:46 pm

"I am. From Yakutsk. And yourself?"

by **Robyn Delaney** » Wed Aug 14, 2013 1:55 pm

"Ireland," she said. "I... um... moved around a lot."

by **Anastasiya Volkoff** » Wed Aug 14, 2013 1:57 pm

"Can't have been too much in such a small country, da?"

by **Robyn Delaney** » Wed Aug 14, 2013 2:00 pm

"You would be surprised how many times you can cover the same roads."

by **Anastasiya Volkoff** » Wed Aug 14, 2013 2:13 pm

"Why would you cover the same road twice?"

by **Robyn Delaney** » Wed Aug 14, 2013 2:25 pm

"It's a long story involving not having a fixed address. My parents and extended family are probably still doing it."

by **Anastasiya Volkoff** » Wed Aug 14, 2013 2:30 pm

"Indeed. That is too bad! You should keep moving forward, not in circles."

by **Robyn Delaney** » Wed Aug 14, 2013 2:34 pm

"It's what makes them happy, I guess," she shrugged. "What about you? You do much travelling?"

by **Anastasiya Volkoff** » Wed Aug 14, 2013 2:40 pm

"I used to travel all around Russia, going to competitions."

by **Robyn Delaney** » Thu Aug 15, 2013 12:00 pm

"That sounds like it might be fun."

by **Anastasiya Volkoff** » Thu Aug 15, 2013 3:11 pm

"It was glorious. For a while."

by **Robyn Delaney** » Tue Aug 20, 2013 8:46 am

"Let me guess, the whole powers thing happened and things shortly ran off to hell in a handbasket?"

by **Anastasiya Volkoff** » Tue Aug 20, 2013 6:20 pm

"It's a common story, da? I ended up snapping some boy's arm, and that, as they say, was that."

by **Robyn Delaney** » Tue Aug 20, 2013 6:31 pm

"More common than I like. Some days I wish I had a magic wand to make everything better, but those things are more in line with fairy tales than reality."

by **Anastasiya Volkoff** » Tue Aug 20, 2013 7:07 pm

"Da. Real life doesn't work that way, sadly."

by **Robyn Delaney** » Wed Aug 21, 2013 8:53 am

"Some days I think it should," she said. "Is there anything else I can help you with?"

by **Anastasiya Volkoff** » Wed Aug 21, 2013 3:54 pm

"Do YOU lift, Robyn?"

by **Robyn Delaney** » Wed Aug 21, 2013 4:58 pm

"I don't. There wasn't much opportunity to growing up and I had other things to worry about after my powers showed up."

by **Anastasiya Volkoff** » Wed Aug 21, 2013 7:30 pm

"And what is it you do?"

by **Robyn Delaney** » Thu Aug 22, 2013 8:11 am

"I'm a..." she hesitated, "... a telepath." She waited to see how Ana would react.

by **Anastasiya Volkoff** » Thu Aug 22, 2013 3:13 pm

"Ah, I had heard there were people like you around here. Not anything I've encountered before."

by **Robyn Delaney** » Thu Aug 22, 2013 8:40 pm

"I wouldn't imagine you would. The ones that don't isolate themselves tend to be very good at hiding what they are. It's not like it's particularly obvious in the first place."

by **Anastasiya Volkoff** » Thu Aug 22, 2013 9:21 pm

"Yes, some of us are more....noticable."

by **Robyn Delaney** » Thu Aug 22, 2013 9:25 pm

Robyn covered her mouth, "Oh god, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to..."

by **Anastasiya Volkoff** » Fri Aug 23, 2013 2:37 pm

"Hrm? No! No, not at all. It is not much of a thing, no?"
