The doctor is still in. And also she isn't a doctor

Who: Bai Lin and others
What: Catch-all for August
When: August
Where: Around the school
Warnings: Implied offscreen naughtiness

-Office hours-

2-5pm, mon-thurs are the official times that Lin can be contacted by anyone who needs to talk to the school counselor. The reality of it, however, is that she will talk to anyone at any time who needs her. She is a sucker for a sob story.

Her office was starting to look a bit more lived in. Aside from the standard issue furnishings (filing cabinet, bookshelf, desk, chairs, etc), she had added a teapot and a bunch of varieties of tea, a baby animal wall calendar, and a small incense stick holder (currently not in use).

-Training hours-

Lin had promised several people that she would try to teach them what she knows, for various reasons. Either they wanted her help or she thought they needed it and had talked them into it. What she had NOT promised to do, despite what others might think, is to actually teach them martial arts. Her techniques could be alarmingly lethal and, in the wrong hands, could get a lot of people hurt. She was very careful about who she taught them to. Meditation and breathing techniques, however, were perfectly safe to teach, good for mental health, and legitimately the foundation on which a lot of other stuff was built. So technically she hadn't lied to anyone!

She generally met people in the gym at the Legionnaire Quarters, as she found the Mythril Cage to be too hostile looking for her preferences.

-Power hours-

Lin loved new experiences, but she also found routine comforting. It was how she had grown up. In the morning she jogged and meditated. In the afternoon she worked. In the evening she lifted. Back at the Legionnaire Quarters, but on her own time now, Lin made ample use of the weight machines. When you don't have a flame, or a magic crest, or a daemonic contract, you have to grab every advantage you can, and that means staying swole as fuck.

Who else uses their evenings to hit the gym? She's not here EVERY night, but she's here often enough that one might be forgiven for making that mistake.

-Wild hours card-

[If you got other ideas hit me up on discord or plurk, or just throw a prompt at me and I'll roll with it.]

[She definitely sees this, because she's enjoying the view and having fun instead of ignoring the many beautiful sights around her in favor of focusing on boring stuff, like using the gym for its' actual intended purpose.]

Wouldn't offer if I did.

[She strolls over to the weightlifting benches, casually leaning against a nearby elliptical machine.]

How much are you up to these days, anyway?

[How much do you lift, bro?]
nor_iron_bars: Alone that soar above (Keep doing what you're doing)

[personal profile] nor_iron_bars 2019-08-07 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
Huh... [Jail looks thoughtful, as though contemplating some deep philosophical issue.] So either I'm gonna have to lose a lotta weight, or you're gonna have to break some records.

You know, so you can bench press me some day.

[What.]

[No one else was suggesting that, Jail. Please don't make long-term plans for other people before you even ask them.]
nor_iron_bars: And in my soul am free (No that ain't your style)

[personal profile] nor_iron_bars 2019-08-07 08:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[On reflection, Jail is pretty down with being on either side of this idea, so long as a pretty girl gets bench pressed by another pretty girl. She considers the question for a moment, trying to remember.]

Don't keep track of it as much as you do, but I think it's around ninety pounds, give or take?

[So, in other words, a little more just by virtue of being larger, but less than someone with Lin's level of training would be able to do if she actually had the advantage of Jail's greater height and weight.]
nor_iron_bars: And fettered to her eye (You know you got it)

[personal profile] nor_iron_bars 2019-08-08 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
Oh shit, that's right, other countries use measuring systems that make actual sense. [Look, she's American enough to forget the metric system exists sometimes, okay. Unlike most of her bad choices, that one's actually probably not her fault.]

[Jail looks delighted by this realization.]


Damn, you might actually be able to lift me, then- it's not that much more.

[Probably heavier than she was before she got to Daybreak, since she's getting proper meals instead of 'whatever I grabbed from the last gas station I stopped at' meals a lot more often, she doesn't keep close track, but still potentially not beyond Lin's range.]
nor_iron_bars: Enjoy such liberty (Default)

[personal profile] nor_iron_bars 2019-08-08 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Immediately:]

Fuck yes.

[Let's be honest, there was no way Jail was going to pass up this chance.]
nor_iron_bars: Tangled in her hair (I'm like "hot damn")

[personal profile] nor_iron_bars 2019-08-09 06:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Like this? [Jail drapes herself over one of the weightlifting benches. She's in about the configuration that Lin suggested, although posing more dramatically than she was probably intending.]

[The shameless wink isn't helping, either.]
nor_iron_bars: And in my soul am free (No that ain't your style)

[personal profile] nor_iron_bars 2019-08-13 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
Aw, darn.

[Joking aside, Jail does seem to understand what she's asking and follows suit, carefully positioning herself so that Lin can get a good grip without accidentally shoving an elbow somewhere uncomfortable.]
nor_iron_bars: Enjoy such liberty (Default)

[personal profile] nor_iron_bars 2019-08-13 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Yessssss, victory.]

I mean, it'd make for pretty good cardio. Sure you don't wanna rework that routine a little?

[Jail seems genuinely delighted just to be here, honestly. A pretty girl is lifting her, she gets to tease, life is good.]
nor_iron_bars: Our careless heads (Stumbling but yeah)

Timeskip as discussed.

[personal profile] nor_iron_bars 2019-08-13 05:42 pm (UTC)(link)
It's okay, I have a plan.

[Some time later:]

See? [Jail grins, leaning comfortably back into the soft cushions of her hideously plaid couch.] Told you I had a plan. Check your pulse rate, I bet it's still going real fast.
nor_iron_bars: Enjoy such liberty (Default)

[personal profile] nor_iron_bars 2019-08-15 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[Jail snickers.] Gonna remind you that you said that, next time you shoot one of my plans down.

[What else is she for, if not making terrible choices for fun.]

[...Well, for snuggling, apparently. She's pretty happy with that, it's nice and comfy here.]


Probably good for you to take a break, anyway. You handle enough shit as it is.

[You couldn't pay Jail to take her job- well, okay, you could. But it'd have to be a lot of money.]
nor_iron_bars: Alone that soar above (Keep doing what you're doing)

[personal profile] nor_iron_bars 2019-08-21 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[Jail blinks, looking a bit confused. She's no stranger to unusual pillow talk, but she didn't quite expect that.]

Uh, yeah? Pretty sure on my part, at least. Can't decide the other half for you.

[She considers Lin a friend, in addition to a nice time, but she's not going to make any hasty assumptions about what she feels.]
nor_iron_bars: With unconfined wings (Roaming the streets)

[personal profile] nor_iron_bars 2019-08-22 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
[...Oh. Shit. It's this conversation.]

[Always an awkward one to have, but things tend to end up even more awkward if you try to avoid having it.]


I dunno. [It's an honest answer, if not necessarily the most helpful one.] I mean... do you wanna be more than that?
nor_iron_bars: Our careless heads (Stumbling but yeah)

[personal profile] nor_iron_bars 2019-08-22 02:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh shit, that's actually really sweet. Oh no. How does she deal with this.]

In that case... [Jail reaches down and gently takes hold of one of Lin's hands.] I want that, too.

You're strong- not just the benchpressing kinda strong, but the caring about people kinda strong. Strong enough to be gentle. You're sweet and fun and I like being around you, and I wanna stick around for a while. If you'll have me.
