Excerise is good for you! [Open!]

[keep_surviving]

While Diana was never one for overly exercising, usually doing just enough to keep herself in her wonderful curved shape, she did see that the whole ‘clears your mind’ thing was somewhat accurate. 

And her mind felt very crowded. Plus, she couldn’t argue the disadvantages of being in top physical condition when the ship went to heck for the millionth time.

So, she deck out the sensorium into her own gym. A bit of running, then maybe some swimming with Jinx if she texted her to come over.   

True, by the end of this day she’d most likely be over worked, sore and far too tired, but that almost meant she’d want nothing more than to drift into a dreamless sleep without any weight of past event or futures worries. 

Provisions had recently discovered the wonders of sky dancing and so spent him time diving and twirling in the air high above Diana’s head, apart from when she was shooting, then he would peck at the ground near her feet to avoid the possibility of stray bullets.

"It's not something everyone can do," Hit Girl said, reaching her hand up in an attempt to out the mask back on. "And sometimes not really something you should. But I made it out all ri-"

And then she did that, which left Hit Girl quiet a moment before finally breaking the silence with a chuckle. "You know, I used to flirt a little, before I started to get into Ruffnut. I gotta say, you put me to shame."

Having that body of hers definitely helped too.

Diana was pulling a smug smirk when Hit Girl was silenced. "It's a shame you stopped, I would have loved to see it." She said, looking rather amused. "It would've be interesting to see you try and pull off something other than cute."

Re: Firing Range

[hit_girl_mindy]

She shrugged. "It was mostly for fun. Besides, I always liked people freaking out about it more than anything."

With that reply, though, she gave Diana a smirk. "Oh I can pull it off, but there's only one person that gets to see it."

Re: Firing Range

[keep_surviving]

Chuckling, Diana rolled her eyes and began playing with the empty clip of her gun. "I think I can guess that one, the famous Ruffnut that you brag about so much."

Re: Firing Range

[hit_girl_mindy]

In response to that, a new blank, holeless enemy appeared, and he was shot down in a matter of seconds, Hit Girl blowing the smoke away idly.

"Damn right. Of all the people on the ship I might want, a crazed viking with bad hair and freckles was who I wanted. But hell, you'll have to see her for yourself, and you'll know why I'm with her."

Re: Firing Range

[keep_surviving]

"Well then, introduce me. You keep saying I should meet her but it's still not happened."

Yes, she'd actually caught occasional glimpses of Ruffnut, usually when the viking dropped by the cafe to see Mindy, but they'd never gotten past casual nods of acknowledgment.

Putting on her sly, teasing voice again, Diana continued. "I'm beginning to think you're making her up to try and make me jealous, boss."

Re: Firing Range

[hit_girl_mindy]

"Hey man, we get fucking busy!" She insisted. "We have a whole fucking castle to to clean up, worse off thanks to those asshole robots from before, we still train a shit load, I have the cafe, and with all that there are missions. We barely get to have time together."

Almost, anyway.

"In your dreams," she said, smirking. "I'd be flirting it up right along with you if Ruffnut wasn't here? Why not? You're not in it to be serious, and for someone like me, that works fine. But then she came and...well, she changed all of that."

Re: Firing Range

[keep_surviving]

"Why don't you just call her over while we're working at the cafe? It's not like we're ever swamped."

Diana couldn't help rolling her eyes at that little speech. "Of course, the whole 'she's the one' thing." She twirled a lock of her hair around her finger idly, clearly unimpressed by tales of love and affection. "They have a name for that kind of thing, 'puppy love' I think they call it."

Re: Firing Range

[hit_girl_mindy]

"I'll see what I can do. I never know what that girl is going to be doing sometimes."

She smiled to herself. That's part of the reason why, anyway.

"I kinda expect better from you than that, Diana," Hit Girl said, looking a little disappointed. "What the hell makes you think I'd be wasting my time with stupid shit like that? I have better things to do than indulge in half hearted hormonal crap. Never think I do anything not worth the effort again. It's insulting."

Which really, is actually another hidden compliment. What was Hit Girl doing at the moment? She was talking and going back and forth with Diana. Still, she was more than a little annoyed at the suggestion she didn't know the difference between fucking puppy love and what she had.

Re: Firing Range

[keep_surviving]

"I can't wait."

Diana's disinterest quickly turned to amusement at Hit Girls reaction, taunting smile spread across her face. "And I expect you to know how I work by now, cutie."

Provisions began making a noise that sounded exactly like a cackle at Hit Girls expense.

Re: Firing Range

[hit_girl_mindy]

Hit Girl just gave her a look.

"Puppy love. Jesus. Guess I fell for that one. Then again, its not something I don't expect people to think."

Nevermind that those two were far from being in a stage like that. Apparently Hit Girl was far more sensitive than she thought.

"No one ask you, birdo," she said to Provisions, sticking out her tongue in a moment of extreme maturity.

Re: Firing Range

[keep_surviving]

"That's why you're so fun, cutie boss." She patted Hit Girls cheek in what would be a patronizing way if this were any other situation. But this was Diana and Hit Girl, they interacted this way.

Provisions cocked his head at Hit Girl then gave her displayed tongue a soft, playful peck before soaring over to Diana's shoulder before Hit Girl could punish him.

Diana rubbed the top of his head with her finger, smirking. "Thatta boy."

Re: Firing Range

[hit_girl_mindy]

"And that's why you're my favorite pain in the ass," Hit Girl replied, shaking her head. Yes, they had this kind of rapport, and while it tended to make her out as super sensitive, she had to admire someone gave enough of a crap to want to bring it out to begin with.

Hit Girl did chuckle a little at Provisions being playful though.

"It must be fun, to have a pet," she said. "Never had one myself."

Re: Firing Range

[keep_surviving]

She ruffled Hit Girls wig playfully. "Thanks, cutie."

Diana rolled her eyes. "Try annoying. But he can be pretty amusing at times."

At Diana's praise, Pro fluffed out his feathers and puffed out his chest importantly.

Re: Firing Range

[hit_girl_mindy]

It was sad how she was already getting used to being called cutie, something she was certain she was going to detest. Of course, it wasn't like she had much of a reason to care about it so much right now. No one was watching and judging, and why care of they were? She had more than enough ways to prove herself.

"It's cute," she said, spinning her pistol in her hand. "Anyway, reload and let's go again."

Re: Firing Range

[keep_surviving]

"Yes, boss." She began loading another clip while Pro pressed against her neck, not wanting to fly into the firing line.

Diana flashed Hit Girl a sly smirk. "But only if I get a kiss at the end~" She teased before raising the gun.

Re: Firing Range

[hit_girl_mindy]

Hit Girl was already loading up her gun, which was apparently taking no time at all, and watching how Diana was already preparing. She was glad the bird had enough sense to stay out of the way.

At the reply, Hit Girl just grinned. "Let's see if you can earn it then."

Re: Firing Range

[keep_surviving]

"I'm holding you to that, so don't back out now~"

Diana took the safety off let a few rounds loose into the target to her far left. She was much better at handling the recoil now.

Re: Firing Range

[hit_girl_mindy]

"I don't go back on my promises," she said with a shrug. "Which you already know."

Awesome. She was getting better. Maybe she should start her on blunt weapons soon. Couldn't hurt, right?

Re: Firing Range

[keep_surviving]

"Oh, I do. Which is why I'm keeping a checklist of your promises. First up, kisses and meeting the glorified Ruffnut."

She chuckled as she continued firing, her amusement relaxing her, allowing her to concentrate on the shots instead of overthinking it.

Re: Firing Range

[hit_girl_mindy]

"I'd say its weird you keep so many tabs on me, but then I've seen weirder things than that," she said, taking a few shots with ease, although she wasn't doing this idly either.

Now she was also beginning to see how much better her aim got. It turned out that though she had good aim before, now it was really just like breathing and took little effort. That was something she had never thought possible.

"That is good. Wonder how good you'd be with a weapon to hit people with."

Re: Firing Range

[keep_surviving]

"Just staying prepared." She winked at the other girl. "And please, like you don't keep tabs on me."

"Hitting people?" Diana looked at her slender, feminine arms and raised her eyebrow at Hit Girl. "Not sure it's my thing, cutie." Though this gun thing was giving her some upper body strength, she wasn't too thrilled about the prospect of bludgeoning someone.

Re: Firing Range

[hit_girl_mindy]

"Of course I do," Hit Girl said, returning the wink. "Can't let you get into too much trouble."

Hit Girl shrugged. "Never said it was. But its not like you can press a time out button if someone's coming at you. This place isn't exactly above throwing people into danger. If you know that much, we can teach you how to sprint like a motherfucker."

Re: Firing Range

[keep_surviving]

"I'm so glad you care."

"Sprinting sounds good." She patted the top of Hit Girls head. "I'll let you know about the whole 'hitting' thing."

Re: Firing Range

[hit_girl_mindy]

"Whatever man." She didn't like talking about that shit aloud.

"Dude, there's going to be a time where you have to hit people. You might not have the muscle or whatever, but it'll happen. When it does, you should be ready."
