Fandom Fight Club - Atlas Gym - Sunday Evening

[atreideslioness]

"Welcome back," Ghanima began, looking over the assorted company. "I'm pleased to see we didn't scare too many of you off by forcing introductions."

"Luckily for you, there aren't any enforced group bonding activities today. Only sparring."

"Sparring," Tyler concurred. "No talking. And, since we're huge now, more matches. You and you, you and you, you in the back and you trying to look too cool for this. Ghanima, pick the last six."

"You can talk to other people, of course, but only if you want to. And you should introduce yourself to your partner," she commented dryly. "Let's see. You, sir, with her. And you and you. Leto, with her."

"Everyone else, grab someone, grab some mat, and start punching."

"We're here if you need us," Tyler added, retreating back to observe.

"Sling," sh corrected. "And it's gone now." Which she was still very excited about.

"Hey, congrats! Quick healer, huh?" He grinned.

"Not really. They just replaced it."

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

"Replaced...your arm?" Jack's expression was no longer a grin. He was sure she'd mentioned something about it before, but....

"Yeah. I told you I'm a cyborg, didn't I?"

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

"I...think so?" he replied, scratching the back of his head.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

"That means it's easier to just replace things. Faster that way."

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

"I suppose. But...what happens if everything's replaced? Do you get upgrades, newer models? More chrome?"

Yes, Jack, because a person is exactly like a Chrysler.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

"They do upgrade us when they finish testing a new set of implants," Triela nodded.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

"Oh. So...you are being traded in for the new model."

Jack thought that only worked with those trophy wives.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

"Just parts of me. You don't get to replace the brain."

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

"Right, because that would just be silly," he said. "You wouldn't be you. ...right?"

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

"And no one's ever figured out how to do it."

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

"That'd be...weird. Like those days when you wake up as someone else."

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

"I try to avoid those." And so far the island had been pretty good to her on that front.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

"It's...I recommend not having it," he said. Female!Jack was weird.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

"It's good to know that your recommendation matches mine."

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

"If it should happen, though...let me know?"

For reassuring, really. Not for male bonding and/or blackmail photos.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

"I'll... keep your offer in mind."

And never, ever actually take him up on it.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

"Great!" he said, feeling like he'd accomplished something.
