<Nemi> Nasirah is doing suspended crunches, not far from Ben.
<Nemi> As in, she's hanging from a bar by her legs, and doing crunches from that angle.
<Roget> whurgh weights
<Wogglebugout> She literally only ever does abs.
<ShotgunFiend> Matt is in the gym as well. He's not met these two yet, only read about them from mission reports.
<ShotgunFiend> He's doing weighted push-ups.
<Wogglebugout> Mission reports that read like something out of bioshock.
<ShotgunFiend> He was mildly bewildered, to say the least.
<Nemi> Nas has real nice abs.
<Nemi> But she does do pushups and leg stuff. Mostly bodyweight, not weighted, though.
<Wogglebugout> Ben benchpresses several tons, probably.
<Nemi> Probably.
<ShotgunFiend> Matt, despite his stats because his player didn't have enough to allocate, is a strong enough guy. Toned, semi-defined muscles. He enjoys a good work out.
<ShotgunFiend> Also, pyramid sets are the way of the future.
<LemurLord> (Your various workout regiments are sooper interesting and all, but when are you all gonna say 'hello'?)
<ShotgunFiend> (never)
<Wogglebugout> (It's two mercenaries and a soldier in a gym, what would they even talk about)
<ShotgunFiend> ("Hey man, cool guns." "Yeah, man, you too.")
<Wogglebugout> ("What did you say about gun" "Nothing" *RATTATATATATA*
<LemurLord> ("Who touched Sasha?!")

* ihp is now known as ihpshower
<Wogglebugout> Ben finishes his bench presses, and sets the bar down.
<ShotgunFiend> Matt has transitioned to pull-ups, weights tied around his waist.
<Wogglebugout> "Nasirah, I am going to go run. I will be back eventually."
<Wogglebugout> Ben wipes down the bench and heads off to run on the main road.
<Nemi> "Enjoy."

<LemurLord> (o bb)
<ShotgunFiend> He is doing... Hm. A leg workout.
<Balthazaar> "MAtt?"
<ShotgunFiend> He looks up and smiles. "Hey, Em."
<Balthazaar> "Hi honey... So listen... I was thinking, it's probably best if you do that with your shirt off. So you can move better."
<Roget> (smooth as ice)
<ShotgunFiend> Matt tilts his head.
<ShotgunFiend> "It's a loose shirt. Workout clothes. They're made for easy movement."
<Balthazaar> :|
<LemurLord> (So smooth it slipped right past his head)
<Balthazaar> Emily raises an eyebrow and plays around with a loose weight. "Think about it Matt."
<ShotgunFiend> Oh, no.
<ShotgunFiend> Matt got it.
<ShotgunFiend> He's playing with her, as per the usual.
<ShotgunFiend> He's just damn good at it.
<ShotgunFiend> "I am. There's no practical reason to take my shirt off."
<Balthazaar> "Well maybe if you take that off... I might take something off for you too..."
<LemurLord> (Now she's being less subtle)
<Roget> (oh snap matt)
<Roget> (snaaaaaap)
<ShotgunFiend> "Oh, really? In the middle of the gym. Mhm."
<ShotgunFiend> He continues his leg exercises.
<LemurLord> (It'd be a shame if someone were to barge into the gym right now....)
<Balthazaar> "I will take off.... My cardigan."
<ShotgunFiend> "Oooh, scandalous."

<ShotgunFiend> "I really bet you won't."
<Balthazaar> Emily tilts her head and starts unbuttoning her cardigan
<ShotgunFiend> Matt swaps weights and starts exercising again.
<Balthazaar> Emily removes her cardigan. "See?"
<LemurLord> (Oh my word! I do believe I'm getting the vapors!)
<ShotgunFiend> "Huh."
<ShotgunFiend> "Guess I was wrong, then."
<ShotgunFiend> Exercising intensifies.
<Balthazaar> "Do you think you could lift me as high as you can lift those weights?"
<ShotgunFiend> "Probably."
<Balthazaar> "Do you think I could pick you up?"
<ShotgunFiend> "Do you think you could?"
<ShotgunFiend> "Can you pick up 170ish pounds?"
<Balthazaar> "Probably not..."
<ShotgunFiend> "Well, then, probably not."
<Balthazaar> Em makes a face. "Okay... It was good seeing Laura and Katie again, wasn't it?"
<ShotgunFiend> He nods. "I didn't know they were coming back today."
<Balthazaar> "Me neither. I missed them a lot."
<Balthazaar> "I don't know how I'm going to break the news to her..."
<ShotgunFiend> Matt sighs a bit and sets down the weights. "I can do it if you don't think you can."
<Balthazaar> "No... I think I have to do it myself."
<ShotgunFiend> Matt nods. "I'll be there when you do."
<Balthazaar> "Thank you... Have I been doing better do you think?"
<ShotgunFiend> "You've been doing amazingly, love. Honest. You've been so strong."
<ShotgunFiend> He stands up and pulls her into a hug.
<ShotgunFiend> "I love you so much."
<Balthazaar> She hugs back. "I love you too... It's just... I feel like I was sort of prepared... He was old... you know?"
<ShotgunFiend> "Mhm... I understand. It's not fair, but I understand."
<Balthazaar> "I miss him so much though... And Lis said he wasn't in pain..."
<ShotgunFiend> Matt rubs her back. "That's normal to miss him, and that's a good way to go. He didn't suffer."

<Balthazaar> "He always said he didn't want to go wasting away in a hospital bed..."
<ShotgunFiend> "Which means he got his wish... He's happy, wherever he is, Emily. I promise."
<Balthazaar> She nods. "I know..."
<ShotgunFiend> Matt puts his hands on either side of her head and kisses her forehead.
<ShotgunFiend> "Mourn his death for as long as it's appropriate, then rejoice. From his death, life is born, sometime, somewhere."
<Balthazaar> She closes her eyes and hugs him.
<ShotgunFiend> "He wouldn't want you sad."
<Balthazaar> Emily nods. "I'll try my best..."
<ShotgunFiend> "Good. That's all he would ask of you."
<ShotgunFiend> Matt kisses her forehead again.
<Balthazaar> Emily leans up on her tiptoes and kisses him properly
