Chapter 7 War, War never changes part 2

yeah, of coarse there is! wanna go for a dip?

(Miranda)

=I was sitting in the ship for a bit when I realized how boring it was. I decided that, since he offered, I may as well join Jason in the gym. Besides, it didn't do well for me to stay in the ship. I needed to get out=

Argo, do you think you could locate the gym on this ship?

=While he was busy with that, I decided to change into my own exercise clothes. When I was done, Argo had the directions for me=

@ Miranda- Why he never asked me for directions, i will never know.

(Laura)

@Talfie: Yeah... But I don't have anything to wear, other than my normal clothes.

(Dormii)
=i finish my food=
Well, I'm going to head there. I'll see you there, maybe.

=i get up and head to the pool area=

(Dante)

(He stands)

It was nice "talking" with you both.
I will be at the pool as well.

(He leaves, still tinkering with the armlet)

Hmm.
Come on.

just go in your underware! that's what i do!

(Laura)

You are kidding me, right?

(Dante)

(He catches up with Dormii)
(Still messing with the armlet)

Strangest conversation.
I have ever heard.

(Jason)

=I was busy punching one of the training dummies when Miranda showed up in the gym. I walked over to her=

So, what happened to you not wanting to join me?

=She smirked a little=

@ Jason- I got bored.

=I rolled my eyes a little=

Yeah, well, it's nice to see you outside. Wait, how did you find this place?

(Miranda)

I had Argo find this place for me.

=i laughed on the inside as he slapped himself=

(Dormii)
=i chuckle=
You're telling me. Hey, whachya doing with that thing?

=sits next to delta=

=i take my shirt off, right there in the mess hall=

does it look like i'm joking?

(Dante)

Trying to fix it.
So it can surround me.
Like a...bubble shield.

(He flicks it)

Stubborn.

Hey Zeru. Whats up?

(Laura)

I guess not.

(Dormii)
=we reach the pool area=
Maybe it just can't be done with that small of a device?

(Miranda)

=I walked over to where Jason was practicing before he came to talk with me=

So, you still want to catch up on some hand to hand?

=He raised an eyebrow at me=

(Jason)

What, are you offering to train with me?

(Miranda)

I'm saying, why don't we have a little practice match in the ring?

=She walked over to the matted area=

Besides, I believe i'm still a little peeved off at you.

(Dante)

Hmm

(He flicks it again)

I will get it to work.
I am stubborn as well.

(He smiles and laughs)
(He heads off to the side of the pool and sits down)

now come on let's go!

= i pick up my shirt and skip to the pool room=

Really? Damn. How'd you fix that?

May as well...

=She begins to head to the pool room.=

(Dormii)
=i laugh and take off my comm unit, shirt, and footwear=
I can see that.

=i dive into the pool and float on the surface=

(Jason)

Peeved? You're peeved? Come on Mir--

=I was cut off when she gave me a right hook to the chin, and man oh man, did that hurt!=

(Miranda)

=I know that it's wrong, to feel good about hitting a nice guy that's distracted, but when my fist met his chin, I felt just a little bit warm and fuzzy inside=

Yeah, remember that next time you decide to tell someone something private

(Dante)

(He continues his work)

How is the water?

=i run into the pool room, throw my skirt off and cannon ball into the pool=

ahhh, cold!

= i use the tip of my umbrella to heat up where i am=

better...

(Dormii)
=i get a mouthful of water from the cannonball as i respond to Draco=
*sputter*
Good!

(Dante)

(He backs from the edge to not get splashed)

I guess there is my answer.

(His focus goes back to the armlet)

Come on.

(Laura)

=She arrives at the pool room, takes her footwear off and sits at the edge of the pool.=

=He chuckles=

My personal instinct would have been to nuke the planet with a Hellfire.

(Dormii)
=i call over to Laura=
Come on! Water's fine!

(Jason)

=I was rocked back by the punch, god damn, she was stronger than she looked=

What the hell? I wasn't going to hit you that hard!

(Miranda)

Hey, I said I was pissed.

(Jason)

No, you said you were peeved. And do not use that whole potato pahtahto thing on me.

=i continue to heat the pool until it begins to get steamy in the room=

(Dormii)
=i feel the pool heat up, but I don't pay it any attention, i just relax=

(Sarah)

(She wakes up)

Ugh...I need to switch shifts...

(She goes to the bathroom for a shower)
(Once finished she gets her clothes on and heads to the medbay)

(She begins humming)


(Rain)

=I had returned to the ship after some training=
=I head off to the pool=

Havent had my swim today


(Dante)

(He continues his work)

(Artyom)

=He'd finished in the shower, got dressed, and walked out, looking at the two robot things.=

(Laura)

=She slid into the pool.=

(Dormii)
=i dive and resurface next to Talfie=
So, when do I get to see the freezing part of the umbrella?

=i smile and start doing laps=




(hey, tar, we may do a few days timeskip)

(Jason)

=I rubbed my chin, then walked over to the opposite end of the mat=

Okay, let's do this. You wanna spar with me? Let's spar.

=I got into a ready stance, and she did the same. Then, I swung at her, but I made sure it was only at moderate force, but was still fast. So imagine my surprise, when she sidestepped the swing, grabbed my arm, and pulled me to the ground, while twisting my arm=

HOLY SHIT!!! WHAT THE HELL WOMAN?!?!?!?!

(Rain)

=I enter the pool and look around=
=I take off my things and slide into the pool=

Ah.
Perfect.

=I look to my cousin=

What is he doin?

=I shake my head and look at the others=

not now Dor

=i wave him off=


=i lean against the side of the pool and heat it some more. i take my top off and place it behind me before sliding further into the water=


hey, laura, the watet's hotter over here!

(Rain)

Hmm.

=I lean back in the pool=

(Laura)

=She swims over to where Talfie is, and leans against the side of the pool.=

(Dormii)
=i take a deep breath and dive to the bottom of the pool. i sit there and focus on the muted sounds coming from the water=

(Miranda)

Hey, you said you wanted to practice hand to hand.

(Jason)

=I calmed down a little=

Okay, well, yeah. But I just wasn't expecting that....

=She twisted my arm a little, and it hurt=

Owwwwwwwww.

(Miranda)

What, you weren't expecting that a normal girl could take down a Spartan?

(Rain)

=I go down deeper into the pool=
=My neck and up above the water=

This. Is perfect

=my eyes close=

Laura, are you wearing a shirt in a pool?




(i don't care if we time skip, my opinion won't matter)

(Jason)

=She let go, and I got up, rubbing my arm now=

No, I just didn't think you were that strong. I mean, I know that you're no flower or anything, but......

=I looked her up and down=

damn.

Yeah...

=She takes her shirt off, her underwear still on, putting it on the side.=

...I was.
