Fight Club, Atlas Gym, Sunday Evening

[tyler_gone]

Tyler was Not Looking at Ghanima as everyone gathered for Fight Club. Wednesday had been fun, but he mostly felt like the whole encounter was some bizarre dream.

"Evening," he said, jutting his chin. "Welcome to Fight Club, where you can work out whatever frustrations left after this week, if you have any."

"If you have any left, you weren't doing it right," Ghanima said, keeping her face perfectly innocent. "That's what the gym is for, children. Working out frustrations."

If Tyler was going to be five about this, Ghani was just going to pick on him.

Five was probably giving Tyler too much credit. "Working out frustrations and making new friends," he said, finally glancing to the woman. "Sometimes by knocking them over. Fights for this week ... oh, you, you, you and you, it's been a while for you, and -- Ghanima, do your worst on the rest."

"I'll save my worst for another time," she answered, quickly selecting people that complemented each other nicely. "It's no fun if you all know what to expect."

"Now get to it."

Mingle [Fight Club, 6/7]

[tyler_gone]

With the stretching and the chattering.

[momslilassassin]

Ben was stretching and very carefully not making eye contact with much of anyone.

Arthur was there. He was not going to elaborate otherwise, but he did look slightly relieved to have his name called. For some reason.

Sometimes, you just never realized how sore you were until you stopped. Daisy was definitely taking the time to stretch today.

Re: Mingle [Fight Club, 6/7]

Dinah was definitely, definitely there. Stretching and then looking around for a sparring partner, since her name wasn't called.

Re: Mingle [Fight Club, 6/7]

[weetuskenraider]

Tahiri was more focused on her stretching than usual today, since it meant not having to look at people.

Not looking at people was good.

Re: Mingle [Fight Club, 6/7]

Jen was going through her warmups a bit more, er, gingerly than normal.

But oh, man, did she ever look happy. Maybe a touch embarrassed, but mostly happy.

Jack was rather bouncy today; he'd had himself a good week. Still, he was making sure he was limber enough for fighting.

Jaina had gone through some mental up and back on whether to show tonight. Not only was she still not really feeling up to fighting and there were people she didn't really want to look in the eye today, but she had a lot of work to catch up on. The way she figured, if she got picked to fight, she'd take it as a way to work on training, and if not, she'd duck out early to spend way too much time on the comm again.

No one worry, she hadn't listened to radio since Wednesday. She really didn't want to.

At least he was more in control of himself today. Leto watched the people gathered, relieved that he could actually watch them without his mind turning to things that Alice would define as improper.

Re: Mingle [Fight Club, 6/7]

[puppy_fair]

Oh yes, Zack was there. He'd managed to survive a day of being hugged by kitchenware, which actually did wonders for his mood, but he was still a little more sedate than usual.

Which mostly meant that there wasn't any bouncing to go along with the smiling at everybody. Go figure.

Minsc cracked his knuckles with a very impressive sound before he stretched out a little to the tune of creaking muscles. Last night had been very confusing, but it had been just the thing to make him feel that things were getting back to normal. Because normalcy meant women didn't make sense. It worked out.

Too bad he never really did like normalcy.

Fiona stretched.

She didn't look like she wanted to talk to anyone; it was hard to say if she even wanted to fight with anyone (though of course, she was here). Mostly, she just stretched.

Re: Mingle [Fight Club, 6/7]

[kestrelswolf.livejournal.com]

Firekeeper was not so much with the stretching, and nor was Blind Seer. They were, however, looking around curiously at everyone, trying to figure out why so many people seemed intent on not making eye contact.

Triela arrived on time. She looked pale, which was a bit more obvious with her tanned skin than it might be on most people. It also wasn't something that happened very often. The heightened dosage from the weekend hadn't fully been flushed from her system so her expression was a bit blanker than usual, but she was definitely feeling better.

Rose stretched, trying not to focus on anything but the movement and failing miserably. Punching something sounded really, really good though.

Re: Mingle [Fight Club, 6/7]

[screwyoumarvel]

Steve felt an overriding need to punch something, so he was present. He was very much not looking in Tyler's direction, though.

Beginner Area [Fight Club, 6/7]

[tyler_gone]

The usual punching bags were up, as were the open mats for students to practice, but this week Ghanima was building on last week's Judo lesson by teaching various Muay Thai strikes to anyone who wanted to learn.

Open Sparring

[tyler_gone]

Find somebody to smack around.

Re: Open Sparring

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

Jack was available if anyone wanted to smack him around a little spar.

Talk to the Organizers

[tyler_gone]

Because they are there, with extra sexual tension.

Re: Talk to the Organizers

[atreideslioness]

Ghani? Wasn't tense at all. In fact, she was quite enjoying fight club today as she alternated between helping the beginners and watching other people spar.

Possibly because she was enjoying tormenting Tyler, since he was being a complete wuss about the whole thing.

Still, she was there, and able to chat if anyone needed her.

OOC [Fight Club, 6/7]

[tyler_gone]

Since the club's been running awhile, we figure some of you have characters that you feel are ready for the next step.

Later this week, Ahddie will post new RNG sign-ups in her journal, and next weekend there will be IC evaluations for those of you that want to play them out. We are asking that everyone signs up again, as we've had problems with no-shows in the RNG.

We'd also like your vote on the idea of combining the beginner and intermediate groups for sparring. Both groups are rather small, and we'd love to get more people pinging together. Let us know here in the OOC, as right now this is just an idea we've been kicking around.

We now return you to your normally scheduled (and mostly hormone-free) Fight Club.

FYI, I'm holding off on tagging Katchoo in until some point probably late tomorrow morning; there's something that needs to play out before I can determine exactly what her mood is going to be by the time it comes to hitting people. >.>
