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.]

Power Hours

[Jail's workout routine typically consists of a vigorous regimen of "whatever seems like fun" on a strict schedule of "whenever I feel like it". But she's been doing a bit less running from the cops lately, so she's got a little extra energy she's in the mood to burn off.]

[Normally she makes her own fun- parkour can get entertainingly ridiculous when gravity is less of a law than a suggestion- but since she's got access to this gym for free she may as well give it a try.]


Need someone to spot you?

[The fact that it also gives her the opportunity to potentially enjoy looking at buff ladies working out is, of course, just a bonus.]

[On the bright side, at least Lin can be sure she'd be paying close attention...]
nor_iron_bars: Our careless heads (Stumbling but yeah)

[personal profile] nor_iron_bars 2019-08-05 08:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[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?]

It's taken him more than a week to return to Lin's office. The fact that he remembered at all is at least some sort of progress. His ever-present guard, Marcel, waits in the hallway while Toki knocks on the door.

[personal profile] yokeye 2019-08-06 06:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Hello~! Uhh, that's Marcel!

[Marcel gives Lin a nod, but that's his only acknowledgement.]

He let me knock!

[Toki is far too excited about that, perhaps.]

Anyway! I came back because I said that I would, to like learn some breathing things or whatever, because it hasn't been happening a lot, but like, I mean sometimes, I get too like- [There's some flailing hand motions.]- you know!?

[personal profile] yokeye 2019-08-06 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[He doesn't get to make that decision, unfortunately. It's Marcel that answers her.]

"That is at your discretion, ma'am."

[Toki slips into the office while the guard is talking. It's changed a little since he was last here. He flips through the baby animal wall calendar. So cute.]

[personal profile] yokeye 2019-08-07 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
[Toki lets the calendar pages fall back with a start at the unexpected question. What was happening?]

Uhh... T-the second... [And to protect him from himself.] I'm not- I'm not going to hurt you or-

[Not that he could, but he was certainly not going to try.]

I should go!

[personal profile] yokeye 2019-08-07 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
[He looks between the door and Lin a few times. If he just leaves, Marcel will take note of it. This is already going so badly and he was fine before she asked that. He feels like crying, but he can't. He can't. Not right now. He settles for staring at the floor.]

... I'm sorry. I didn't mean to yell. Your question surprised me and I... [He doesn't want to say it, but it's true.] I panicked.
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.]

[personal profile] yokeye 2019-08-07 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you.

[He nods, and won't tell her that he hates tea. It's not important. He sits in the chair, curling up as much as his long limbs allow. Now that he's here, and things have already gone unexpectedly, he doesn't know where to start, so he waits for her to speak first.]

[personal profile] yokeye 2019-08-07 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
[Yes, he will have tea, because it's offered. He will drink it, and maybe throw up in the hallway later.]

But we could be eaten by bears or regular tigers or giraffes at any moment!

Office hours, because this disaster

[Last month had been eventful to put it mildly. A lot of shit had gone down and she'd at least talked to a few people about some other things and she's huffing softly to herself as she's knocking on that door and casually pacing in front of it, because standing still is not something she has ever done well. And she's sure as shit not sure why she's here, she could run off and not have to deal with this, it's not like she needs to really be here anymore. She hasn't hurt anyone, at least not intentionally, and had been trying to mend bridges on her own.

But she also knew, deep down, that there was other shit to work on and she sure as fuck did not like to talk about things that she had absolutely no control over. Hopefully Lin gets that door soon as she's really about two seconds away from bolting.]

[personal profile] yokeye 2019-08-07 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
Giraffes could definitely eat you! But that is not the point!

[He doesn't know what the point is, though.]

Yes, that's what I came here for...

[Excuse her while she internally screams and curses for about a minute before turning around and rubbing at her face. Right, she's here now, this is unfortunately happening.]

July was kinda rough and I... guess I should update you on some shit? Dunno how this shit works, exactly. Still.

[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.]
