The Park - Friday Morning Through Early Afternoon

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

Primed by years of habit, Alianne awoke at first light and rose to start her training.  It was odd that she was in a strange place, but a knight couldn't let that prevent her from staying sharp.  She threw on workout clothes and grabbed the sword she found at the back of the closet.  It was a good deal lighter than her sword, but it would do for now.

She jogged out into the street and continued jogging until she found a nice open place with space to move.  Raising the sword carefully, she began working through forms.  Many, many hours of practice both alone and with partners made her moves quick, graceful, and light even as she increased the strength behind them.

[OOC: And open.  Because it's a Park and...yeah, that joke fell flat before I could get it out]

Because it seemed Deadpool couldn't go anywhere without running into Aly...

"Are you going to call me a gay servant again?"

Turtle was passing through the park on her way to check up on Apu at the store when she stopped (eeeeeeeeeerk) dead in her tracks upon seeing Mr. Deadpool and remembered the delivery she was supposed to be making. She checked her pockets real quick to make sure that the note wasn't about ready to go through the washer (that would be baaaad) but it turned out she was wearing the same jeans today that she was wearing yesterday. Sweet.

"Mr. Deadpool! Hi!" she waved at him and jogged over.

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

Deadpool waved back. "Turtle! Shouldn't you be setting things on fire or whatever you kids do during the summer?"

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

"Pssh," Turtle dismissively flipped her braid over her shoulder so it was dangling behind her. "Don't want to get through all the fun stuff so soon! Plenty of time for that later. I was actually on my way to the store for businnes--" Yes, that was a very accomplished preen there, because she was a very accomplished professional, thank you very much "--but I'm glad I ran into you because I've been charged with delivering something to you and finding you here makes it so much easier for me, Easiest two-fifty I've ever earned."

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"A delivery?" Deadpool paused. "It's not ticking, is it?"

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

"Um, no," Turtle said, after a moment as if pausing to check. "And it's been in my pocket since yesterday when the nun gave it to me without exploding, so I think it's safe."

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"Are you a gay servant, sir?"

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"No!" Deadpool pouted. "And I'm not a demon either. What Aly are you today? Malibu Aly?"

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"What's Malibu?" she asked courteously. "I am of Goldenlake."

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"It's a city. Are you all olde englishe with randome vowels thrown onto the end of words now?" Pause. "E."

And then Turtle came back with a Squishy in hand to watch Miss Alianne do her sword forms, because they were pretty neat-o.

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

Alianne nodded to the girl as she finished a form.

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

Turtle waved back.

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

Alianne lowered her sword and smiled. "Are you a page at the castle on the hill?"

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

Turtle scratched her head a little at the question because she thought pages belonged in books, and she was definitely not a sheet of paper. "Um, no. Don't you remember me, Miss Aly? I'm the one who asked about the dildos."

Billy was out for a jog and saw Alianne practicing. He watched carefully, impressed.

"Wow."

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

Alianne saw the boy watching and nodded to him. "Thank you."

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"How long have you been training?"

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

She smiled. "Since I was old enough to hold a practice sword correctly. Perhaps five or six?"

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Well you've certainly got me beat. I've only been training since I was about eleven."

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

Kawalsky was walking across the Park towards wherever was on that side of town, shhh when he saw Aly. Aly with a sword.

"Again?" He frowned and headed towards her. This was weird. "Hey."

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

Alianne lowered her sword and turned to the approaching man. "Good day."

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

"You have a sword," he said, stating the obvious. He should have learned by now.

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

She nodded and answered in a voice meant for the slow or young. "Yes, I do. I'm training with it."

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

"Sorry, I haven't introduced myself." This was getting weird. "Charlie Kawalsky."
