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.]

"Still the gun books. And you'd be proud of me, we agreed to a draw."

"That was nice of you. He's a decent brawler, but he doesn't really have any finese."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"None, but he did get a couple of good hits in." Since Walter had rather enjoyed the macho aspect of just hitting each other.

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia actually might have guessed as such. "You okay? He's got a lot of force in his hits."

Heck, he'd possibly almost broken her nose.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Couple of bruises," Walter said dismissively. "They look worse than they are." After July, Walter had an entirely different scale on which to judge what getting hit hard was.

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia nodded. Considering how . . . aerobic they'd gotten on Tuesday night, he might have been sore to begin with when he got to the spar. . . .

But nothing to worry about.

"Any plans today?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Sore, but energetic. "Not really. Did you have anything in mind?"

[nadiathesaint]

"Well, I'm probably going to stop by Empire, and maybe see about getting some stuff from All and Sundries, but otherwise, I have no plans."

"We should meet up later. We could go out to dinner or just go to one of the common rooms to bother new people." Speaking of common rooms. "I can't believe I forgot to tell you about Bel last night."

[nadiathesaint]

". . . What about Bel last night?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Blair won their bet about Sex Ed and Bel sang 'Kumbaya' in the common room." He grinned. "I have pictures."

[nadiathesaint]

"I missed it?! Why didn't you tell me?" Nadia sighed. "Someone had better have gotten that on video."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"I didn't know it was happening. I was up on the fifth floor looking for you when it happened, but Chloe had a video camera."

[nadiathesaint]

"Oh. I was on the roof last night."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Good, emo, or ritual?"

[nadiathesaint]

"Good. It was raining a little. Nice atmosphere."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Did you dance?" He'd be sorry if he'd missed that.

[nadiathesaint]

"Nah. Didn't even play my guitar."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Well, I met a few people last night. I kept seeing unfamiliar faces. I suppose I'll get to know more of the newbies once school starts."

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia nodded. "I'm beginning to understand why Jaye still calls me 'New Girl'."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Jaye seems to have her own names for almost everyone from what I've heard on radio. But back to tonight, I offer the three Cs - Caritas, Ching Tai, or common rooms."

[nadiathesaint]

"The common rooms have been mobbed lately, with the new students. Maybe Caritas? See if Lorne shows up."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Lorne's back? Green guy? Horns? Blair told me that Aziraphale is back, too." He snorted, remembering Blair's story of being possessed by the angel.

[nadiathesaint]

"Yeah, I got an email from him about putting on a special performance on Sunday, but I was already doing the brownie ritual for Xander and Bridge, then."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Then Caritas it is. I'll pick you up at your room at handwavy o'clock."
