Imperial Junkyard, Thursday morning

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

For a change, Walter was only there for a workout and not violence therapy. He'd found another part of the junkyard that looked like it could use some clearing and was starting some wire practice.

His ribs complained at first, but once he was warmed up, he didn't notice, lost in a dance of precise destruction that was as close to meditation as he was likely to ever get.

[ooc: Open, but the sounds of falling metal and whipping wire would hopefully alert your character to walk cautiously before walking in where Walter's "working." I don't want him to cut any precious bits off of anyone.]

Pippi was on her way to All & Sundries by the round about way when she heard that noise coming from the junkyard.

So she jumped off Old Man and went to watch for a bit.

"Hey." Walter whipped the wires back into his rings and went to join Pippi. "What's new?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Just heading over to do some shopping and I heard you in here." Pippi said.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"I'm just getting some practice in. I had a good spar with Tyler yesterday, so today's a good day for wire work." Walter said, grabbing a bottle of water he'd brought with him.

"What's news with you?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Pip and I are going sinking sailing on Friday and I'm also going to show my little sibling around town. I think I've been lax in my big sibling duties, he got called into the Principal's office this morning."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"It sounds as though things are going well with you and Pip?" A bit of a question, since he was hoping he'd never have to fulfill his threat to Pip.

"And what did your little sib do to get called in?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"I guess?" Pippi said shrugging. "I don't have anything to compare it to really. And I don't know what he did. I'm supposed to meet him at All and Sundries later so I'll find out then."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"We should do something together soon. Blair had a good point about adventures with happy endings and needing more of them."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"That sounds like a good idea." Pippi nodded. "Did you have anything in mind?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Nothing in particular. There's always exploring to do. One of these days we're all going to have to take a trip off this island to do something."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"I agree. Getting off the island for a bit would be nice." Pippi said thinking of all the aborted trips to Disneyland.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"We can save that for a little while into the semester when we need a break from schooll," Walter suggested. "That should give us time to actually successfully plan an escape a trip. Until then, there are still parts of the island to explore, I suppose."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi nodded.

Then got a bit of a devil's glint in her eye.

"So... You're practicing huh?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter liked that particular glint. "Yes. Why?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"You remember Fight Club? How the idea was supposed to be that we would learn to work together and combine our abilities?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"I didn't participate in that one, but I get the general idea. What do you have in mind?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"I dunno." Pippi said. "But I think between the two of us, we could come with something interesting and unexpected."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter nodded, considering. "Shrapnel. You throw, I shred."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi nodded.

"Okay, you want to start with large targets and work down, or start small and work up?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Big is probably easier for a start. We can work down for more precision after that"

He was already thinking of the sort of damage shrapnel hurled with her strength could do and grinning.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi is grinning back.

"Okay..." she spied a refrigerator. "How about that?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter pursed his lips and nodded. "That will work." He pointed toward a wall of junked cars. "Throw it that way."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Okay, I won't throw it very hard this time, just so we can get an idea of how it works."

She picked up the broken fridge and lobbed it at the wall of cars.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter's hands went up as soon as Pippi threw the refrigerator, tossing near-invisible lines around the chunk of metal and drawing the ones on his end through his teeth.

Another flick of his wrists, and the once-whole fridge, flew apart, sending chunks flying against the wall of cars in a crash of metal.

Pippi clapped her hands.

"Wonderful! Let's try something bigger!!!"

She found a little yellow 'Le Car' and pulled it out of the pile.

Hefting it over her head, she said, "Ready?"
