Atlas Gym, Monday 11/4

[notallbluemonks]

So. Beau had a job now, apparently. An honest one, even, and it struck her as kind of hilarious that all it had taken was running away from the place her father had sent her for being such an embarrassing delinquent to somehow, without even planning for it, find some kind of respectable employment.

Though come to think of it, she wasn't even sure he'd think this job counted.

Whatever. It was funny in some twisted kind of way.

She took some time to walk around the gym, trying to familiarize herself with the equipment (and preparing to come up with some bullshit spiel for the things she couldn't explain yet) before making some vague attempt to make sure everything was clean and in good order.

After which she was probably going to spend the rest of her shift trying to set up the beginnings of a parkour obstacle course, kind of like the ones beneath the Archive of the Cobalt Soul.

Comments

She really needed to spend more time in the gym.

Seivarden showed up in the morning, at first just greeting Beau with a nod, then, in an unenthusiastic attempt to be sociable, she said:

"Oh You're new, aren't you? I don't think I've seen you here before."

Beau rolled her eyes so hard you could practically hear them straining to roll back even further in her eye sockets.

"Yes, okay, it's been a week already, geez. Does everybody have to make that comment?" she grumbled in a flat tone, not even pretending she wasn't bored of hearing that phrase from people already.

Small towns, man.

And people said she was being rude. Seivarden shrugged.

"It's not like you've made enough of an impression for anyone to say anything else, then."

[notallbluemonks]

Well, Beau kind of went out of her way to do it on purpose. It was a thing.

"You know how they say if you can't say anything original don't say anything at all?" That wasn't at all what how the saying went, Beauregard. "Like, that's like commenting on how the sky is blue every time you go outside."

She finished shoving the stack of padding she intended as a makeshift vault platform into place. "Wait. That's a bad example here, isn't it? Fuck."

"So you prefer people to ignore you?" Seivarden snorted, amused. "You don't seem that type, kiddo."

She had met baby lieutenants with that kind of attitude, after all. Smirking, she looked around the gym, trying to decide where to start.

Irritation flashed in Beau's eyes for a moment. "Kind of surprising how much you can get done when nobody notices you," she said in a low voice. "You, uh, know what you're doing there? I'm not gonna have to pry a bunch of weights off you later or anything?"

She really hoped not, since she barely knew what to do with some of this equipment yet.

Luckily for Beau, Seivarden did know what she was doing.

"Don't worry about me," she said, turning away and heading towards the dumbbells.
