How Tragic

[grandtheftmecha]

[Katina is in the gym after a good workout - the hours she happened to make time for left the gym almost completely to herself. So, she doesn't have to worry so much about someone catching her looking at herself in one of the mirrors, sweaty and in a sports bra and shorts. Hair... as rough as usual. Skin too.

...she looks around left, right and sees... no one watching. Good. She sighs, and pinches her side. There is something to pinch, and she frowns, even if it's still far better than most women nearing thirty.]

Should I cut back on the beer... or...

Y-yeah... well... you're younger and some kinda android... bioroid... thing.

"I am. So what do you think contributed to your weight gain?"

[grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com]

...drinking... age...

[code-ata.livejournal.com]

"Thus, if you cut down on drinking, part of that contribution would be reduced."

Simple logic, Lamia thinks.

[grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com]

Yeah... but I gotta decide if I like losing weight more than I like drinking...

[Awkward attempt to change subjects time...]

You're not usually here this late. Finished already?

[grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com]

...weird schedule the past few days.

[...Turns back to training.]

"Do you prefer to gain more weight at the same time as you are aging?"

[grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com]

Alright, alright... I get the point...

[code-ata.livejournal.com]

"That is commendable," Lamia says.

"Do you wish to spar?"

[grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com]

Geh... sure, why not.

What is Tasuku doing in the gym anyway?

Checking if this is a dream? Nope, it's reality!

Making fun of Katina, that's what.

[grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com]

[Katina whirls around with a fist raised.]

What was that?

[wetnoodleguy.livejournal.com]

*Oops! Better back off quickly. And by back off, I mean that Tasuku trips over some gym equipment and lands on his ass.*

Er, you know! People pinch themselves to check if they're in a dream! I'm not getting alive out of here, am I...

[grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com]

And what kind of dream would that be?

[wetnoodleguy.livejournal.com]

I, um, have no idea...?

[grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com]

C'mon, aren't you some kinda funny guy? Crack a joke!

[wetnoodleguy.livejournal.com]

But I don't want to get brutally murdered! I still have so much to live for!

[grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com]

Trust me, if I was gonna kill you I'd do it either way.

[wetnoodleguy.livejournal.com]

*Tasuku gets up. Why he didn't do it sooner, I don't even.*

Okay... So, what're you doing here anyway? Training after your magic act?

[grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com]

Just the usu... magic act?

*Where did that annoying pink bird come from? You could swear she hadn't been there a moment ago...*

[Where did Katina get that 20 pound barbell that's flying at you Lovely?]

[wetnoodleguy.livejournal.com]

You know, when you make all those bottles of beer disappear!
