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 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.

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.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

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?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter shook out his hands. "Yeah. I don't really have to pull harder, just faster."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi nodded.

"Okay, I'm going to throw it really hard this time..." Pippi said bringing the car back a bit.

"One... Two... Three!"

She flung the car as hard as she could at the wall.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

That hard forward momentum worked to Walter's advantage when he threw out a near-invisible net of metal to wrap the car. A quick jerk with the wires and the wall of cars was barraged by fragments of yellow metal.

Pippi is clapping and bouncing.

YAY WANTON DISTRUCTION!

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter had a certain maniacal grin usually involved for situations involving large amounts of bloodshed.

"That? Is brilliant."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi is bouncing on her toes.

"That was a very good idea yes." she grinned. "Let's try something smaller and then see what else we can think up!"

Pippi picked up some of the smaller bits of the Le Car and crunched them into balls of various sizes.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter nodded and cracked his knuckles before indicating he was ready. "Smaller's actually trickier than large."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Okay." she nodded. "Lucky for us there's lots of bits and bobs around to crunch up and practice with."

She took one ball the size of a grapefruit and gave it a lazy toss.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Another flicker of wire and the metal grapefruit was metal wedges that bounced off the cars Pippi had thrown toward.

"You know, I could probably redirect something you threw at me so you'd almost be throwing around corners."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Hmm, that would be cool." Pippi said backing up a bit.

She gave tossed a ball in Walter's direction, aiming for a spot over his head.

Just in case.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

It was the not-cutting-things thing that was why Walter practiced so hard on everyday objects. He misjudged his pull and the ball kept going over his head, separating into smaller pieces as it continued on its trajectory.

"Looks like I'll need practice on that."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi understood the need to practice not destroying things.

"Yup." she said lobbing another one.
