[004 | video | hair: reddish-pink, bobbed]

[Holding her newly recovered Subspace Suitcase in her lap when the mirror feed turns on. The zipper is undone, and Ramona's arm is halfway gone inside the opening.]

So, I was going through my stuff this morning and I found some of... [Rummages, withdraws a small plastic baggie full of dirt] ...this. It's dirt from the last time I went exploring in the jungle. I've heard some people talk about creating stuff with it? How exactly do you do that? Anyone wanna enlighten me?

If you ever need help with that, let me know. I'm not known for my manual labor, but another able body is another able body, right?

Sounds like someone who'd get on with one of my exes. [She's thinking Roxie.]

[With the thought of exes on her mind, her cheeks go pink a little more easily than usual at the compliment.] I thought so too. Glad you agree.

Well, that bag is pretty handy to carry tools around.

I kind of want to make a gym, too, but I don't know if I'd want to share it with others or make it just for myself. Either way, I need to get back to lifting weights.

So how often do you change it?

[exmarksthe.livejournal.com]

Man, I really should start going to a gym sometime. That could be my New Year's resolution this year. ...Course, it's been one of my resolutions on and off every few years and it never sticks, but you never know, right? This time could be the one.

Hair dying's a bit more consistent. I hadn't change it for a while just before coming here, but before that, I changed it every few weeks or so.

[thetrueblow.livejournal.com]

It's a lot easier if you have someone to work out with. Can't just say 'I'll do it later' if you're getting dragged there.

Twice a month, then? How'd you get to dying it that often?

[exmarksthe.livejournal.com]

This is very true. I have much experience in dragging people into doing things they might not otherwise do.

Eh, varies a little bit. Sometimes it's, like, every week-and-a-half, sometimes every three or four. Just depends on my mood, really. Sometimes I just feel more restless than other times. Don't really know when I decided changing my hair was the best way to change up my life, but it's been so long now that I just kind of... do it. So there you go.

[thetrueblow.livejournal.com]

I could get you started.

So dying your hair is a way of dealing with your life?

[exmarksthe.livejournal.com]

That could be fun, thanks. I'd like that, I think.

And I wouldn't say "dealing with." Not exactly, anyway? More like "adding to," I guess. When life keeps giving you lemons, go out and buy some goddamn pomegranates - that kind of thing.

[Noi's clearly already assembling an exercise schedule for Ramona in her head. SQUATS, PUSH UPS, CRUNCHES, WEIGHTS, CHINUPS--]

We'll have to make some equipment, then.

Heh. Did you have a boring life, once?

[exmarksthe.livejournal.com]

[Has to laugh a bit at the look on Noi's face as she fantasizes about gym stuff.]

Something like that. But I try my best just to keep it not boring on principle, too, pretty much. I'm sure you can probably relate?

[thetrueblow.livejournal.com]

...Probably not since I was a kid. My work has always given me something exciting to do. Or before that, the devil training was pretty fun too!

This garden has been the most stable thing I've been involved in for years.

[exmarksthe.livejournal.com]

I guess I meant more as in you can relate to not liking boredom. I mean no one does, right?

Guess this would be kind of weird for you that way, when you put it like that. Different from the way it's weird for most, anyway.

[thetrueblow.livejournal.com]

Oh, absolutely! Why else would I look for good fights? I hate when things are too easy. A challenge is a must!

So we're evading boredom by building things and exercising and dying our hair and finding out who the queen is.

[exmarksthe.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a plan to me! And here's hoping that when we find the queen, it's a good fight for all of us.

[thetrueblow.livejournal.com]

Hmm...

[Noi chews on her lip, trying to get a few specifics sorted out.]

How much does that hammer of yours weigh?

[exmarksthe.livejournal.com]

Not sure. It's got a +2 advantage against girls, though.

[thetrueblow.livejournal.com]

[Noi has no idea what you're talking about. Clearly has no experience in video games.]

Well, whenever you want to come over, we can start figuring out how your workout should start.

Or we can just talk more.

[exmarksthe.livejournal.com]

Either one would be good by me. I'm probably gonna set up a place of residence or whatever tonight, so when that's done, just drop over anytime and drag me out to do stuff.

[thetrueblow.livejournal.com]

I'll bring something to eat.
