I10DT - Easing Back In (Open)

by **Wanda Johansen** » Mon May 07, 2012 8:30 am

Wanda had been asked to ease back into her weight-lifting. Her shoulder had been mended, but they didn't want her lifting cargo containers again just yet. Apparently, Wanda's idea of "easing back in" was to lift weights in the normal gym with completely loaded down weight bars. At the moment, she was doing a set of bench presses.

"Back at it, eh?" Janice said as she came in and spotted Wanda.

"In a manner of speaking. They told me I could start again, but to take it easy," she said with a snort.

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Mon May 07, 2012 7:27 pm

"You taking it easy is still probably better than most of us could handle."

by **Wanda Johansen** » Mon May 07, 2012 7:31 pm

"Well, we each exercise our gifts," she said, smiling. "How are you doing?"

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Mon May 07, 2012 7:33 pm

"Not bad. Kind of relieved. I was nervous when they sent you guys out there."

by **Wanda Johansen** » Mon May 07, 2012 7:44 pm

"We all do what we have to. It was scary, I won't lie about that, but sometimes you have to take a chance on things."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Mon May 07, 2012 7:48 pm

"I kind of worry about what it does to Murphy, you know?"

by **Wanda Johansen** » Mon May 07, 2012 9:06 pm

"How do you mean?" She put the weights back onto the holder, which creaked a little.

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Mon May 07, 2012 10:48 pm

"You haven't noticed that she's got kind of an edge to her sometimes?"

by **Wanda Johansen** » Tue May 08, 2012 7:42 am

"A little bit of an edge, yes," Wanda said, sitting up.

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Tue May 08, 2012 11:19 am

"Yeah, and missions make that worse."

by **Wanda Johansen** » Tue May 08, 2012 11:23 am

"Ah," Wanda said, "It might not be for her then. Not because she can't do it, but maybe because she shouldn't. I'm not entirely sure it's for me yet, but I want to try."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Tue May 08, 2012 11:29 am

"Sorry, don't mean to dump on you. Just figured you'd understand, since you hang out with her roommates a lot."

by **Wanda Johansen** » Tue May 08, 2012 11:34 am

"Not a problem," Wanda said, waving the apology away. "Only Tala really. I've only seen Stephanie in passing. Though I may be hanging out more there, if things continue to work out."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Tue May 08, 2012 11:36 am

"Oh, you're... getting along with Tala?"

by **Wanda Johansen** » Tue May 08, 2012 11:45 am

"I think so..." She seemed to stop to think for a moment and it made her smile, "Yes, I'm fairly certain I am."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Tue May 08, 2012 11:47 am

"Kind of weird to admit sometimes, isn't it?"

by **Wanda Johansen** » Tue May 08, 2012 11:56 am

"Yeah, can't say it's entirely what I expected, but I'm hopeful things continue to work out."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Tue May 08, 2012 11:57 am

"I'm not making fun of you, believe me. It was kind of hard for me to admit I like Murphy."

by **Wanda Johansen** » Tue May 08, 2012 12:12 pm

"So you and Murphy?"

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Tue May 08, 2012 12:29 pm

"Yeah... that's... still kind of new, I guess."

by **Wanda Johansen** » Tue May 08, 2012 12:32 pm

"Not making fun of you either," Wanda said, "Although I suppose we could start a 'short and tall couples' club." She grinned.

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Tue May 08, 2012 12:38 pm

She snorted.

"I'm only short compared to you and Murphy."

by **Wanda Johansen** » Tue May 08, 2012 12:43 pm

"Most of the world is short compared to the two of us," Wanda said with a laugh. "The four of us should go out to eat. Wreck some poor buffet."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Tue May 08, 2012 12:48 pm

"Might be nice. I'm always telling Murphy she needs to get out more. I mean, socially. Not running around outside."

by **Wanda Johansen** » Tue May 08, 2012 12:51 pm

"Tala and I took her out and about one evening to get food. That was a lot of fun."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Tue May 08, 2012 12:57 pm

"She's really nice once you get her talking, you know? Just a nice girl who... occasionally turns into a humongous werewolf."

by **Wanda Johansen** » Tue May 08, 2012 1:01 pm

"Okay, that list bit I wasn't quite aware of, but it does make things make a little more sense."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Tue May 08, 2012 1:02 pm

"You didn't know? I mean, I think that's why they put all three of them in the same suite."

by **Wanda Johansen** » Tue May 08, 2012 1:06 pm

"Well, it's not the sort of thing that comes up in conversation. Or what constitutes conversation with her at any rate."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Tue May 08, 2012 1:08 pm

"She wasn't always a werewolf, but it's kind of a long story."

by **Wanda Johansen** » Tue May 08, 2012 1:10 pm

"All I'm doing is lifting weights, you're welcome to tell it if you want," she said, leaning back and starting to lift again.

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Tue May 08, 2012 1:13 pm

"Well, it all started on a camping trip. A bunch of us got bitten."

by **Wanda Johansen** » Tue May 08, 2012 1:16 pm

"That is the typical way they get you," Wanda said, continuing to move the weight with very little effort.

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Tue May 08, 2012 1:18 pm

"Yeah, and then we all changed and we were... well, a pack, really. It was how I got to know Murphy."

"Then when it got out of hand Victoria found a way to cure us. With Murphy it just... didn't stick."

by **Wanda Johansen** » Tue May 08, 2012 1:23 pm

"Interesting. Odd that it worked for everyone but her, but mutant genetics and all that I guess. There's no telling."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Tue May 08, 2012 1:25 pm

"I'm not really sure why myself, but I guess it's true that she... kind of wanted it."

by **Wanda Johansen** » Tue May 08, 2012 1:34 pm

"Why would you want something like that?"

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Tue May 08, 2012 1:35 pm

"I think it's kind of... freedom, to her? It suits her, in a way."
