The park, Wednesday evening

[actingreaper]

Daisy was determined not to become a regular at Caritas, and there was nothing interesting on TV tonight but only because she forgot about a new season of Project Runway starting, OMG!, so she was walking through the park with an umbrella, scowling at the scattered rain.

Rain should mean traffic accidents and floods and things like that that made the life of a reaper more interesting.

Here, it seemed to just mean water falling from the sky.

Surely something interesting would happen soon. . . .

Joxer faceplanted in front of Daisy. Not that he'd meant to, but that just seems to be the way he ends up places, nowadays.

"Ow," he said.

[actingreaper]

Daisy blinked down and tapped at what she could only assume was a hobo with her shoe. "Hey, are you alright?"

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

Joxer rolled over and managed to get to his feet. "Perfectly fine," he said, brushing himself off. "Putting my falling skills to good use. You totally thought that was real, didn't you?"

[actingreaper]

Had hoped, even. "Why, yes, yes I did. You're quite the physical actor."

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

Joxer patted his breastplate. "It's all about knowing how to fall, so in the million to one chance my foe knocks me down, I won't get hurt."

[actingreaper]

"Uh huh. And what about when it's not an enemy? You wouldn't believe the accidents that could happen. Even if you're careful."

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

"Me? Accidents?" Joxer shook his head. "You're talking to Joxer the Mighty, Warrior of all. Nothing happens to me."

[actingreaper]

Daisy was becoming tempted to start following this kid around. Surely if anyone were to bite it on this island, it would be a wacko in armor with what was obviously an elevated opinion of his own abilities.

"Oh, you'd be surprised. . . ."

"Look, I haven't trained all my life to be a victim," he said. "I've trained to be a well oiled killing machine."

[actingreaper]

"Killing machine, huh? Well now, why didn't you say so? I don't suppose you have any current foes to battle?"

Yep, this kid was definitely going to end up on a post-it. Probably sooner rather than later.

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

"Actually, I don't," Joxer admitted. "Mostly just friends, here. But I'm ready for whenever something comes up."

[actingreaper]

Drat. "I see. Well, make sure you're careful. Even well oiled killing machines have their weaknesses."

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

"Ha, like that idiot Achilles?" Joxer tapped his breastplate again. "Nope, sorry. I'm practically invulnerable to harm. Erm, except wrecky things. Those hurt."

[actingreaper]

"Wrecky things? Like car accidents?"

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

"Tull, I think?" Joxer said, cleaning out an ear with his finger. "That's it. Wrecky Tull. Had one at the clinic. Never going back there again."

[actingreaper]

Daisy was far too old and had been in the modern world for much to long to do something so crass as to choke or giggle.

"Ah. Rectal examination. And how on earth did you wind up needing one of those?"

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

"I had defeated fifty demon tentacles," Joxer bragged. "And then another two hundred snuck up on me from behind. The doctor thought it was some sort of... Japanese porn thing."

[actingreaper]

"Fifty. And then two hundred. Was that all by yourself, then?"

Mason would be having a field day with this kid.

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

"There may have been a few others, but I was the one doing the most work," Joxer said.

[actingreaper]

"Uh huh. And do you find yourself in the clinic often?"

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

"Never since that... thing. No more clinic for me," Joxer said. "No wound can't be healed by time and a good splint, you know?"

[actingreaper]

"What's your name, kid?" She'd need to know in case she ever came across it on a post-it.

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

"Joxer," he repeated. "Joxer the Mighty? Warrior of all?"

[actingreaper]

Right. She hadn't really been paying attention to the parts that weren't hinting towards a quick death.

"Nice to meet you, Joxer. There a last name with that?"

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

Joxer shook his head. "We didn't really have those in my time."

[actingreaper]

Oh lord, don't tell her he was already dead. "And what time would that be?"

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

"Ancient Greece?" Joxer said. "Not sure on the specifics."

[actingreaper]

Daisy blinked. "Just how old are you?"

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

"Seventeen," Joxer said.

[actingreaper]

"Then what are you doing here?"

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

"My dad sent me to school," Joxer said. "One of the gods helped."

[actingreaper]

"Riiiiight. Well, I hope you're enjoying yourself here, Joxer."

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

Joxer nodded. "You too... Nice... blonde lady."

[actingreaper]

"Daisy. Daisy Adair."

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

Joxer smiled, goofily. "Like the flower?"

[actingreaper]

"Exactly."

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

Joxer pointed back at the school. "I should probably head back, before my cabinmates start to worry needlessly."

[actingreaper]

"But you're a famous warrior. Why should they worry?"

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

"Needless worrying seems to be a trend around here," Joxer said. "Me, I just forge on ahead. Or, in this case, backwards, since I'm going to my bed, which isn't really ahead of me, but is behind me."

[actingreaper]

"Well, I won't keep you then. Do let me know if you're going to go to battle, though,"

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

"I will," Joxer said. "You have a good evening, Miss Daisy."

He then wandered off.
