Gym, early Saturday

[1ordinarygirl]

It was very early on Saturday morning, so hopefully there wouldn't be anybody else around in the gym. She needed to work out some frustration, preferably without being recognized by more people she had never seen before in her life

Dean headed down to the gym for the second morning in a row. The sparring yesterday morning had been fun; it was different sparring against someone who wasn't his brother who he could read like a book, or his father who pretty much laid him out every time.

Maybe he'd get lucky and find another sparring partner this morning.

Finding a petite blonde and a statuesque brunette, both scoring high on the pretty scale when he got there, Dean decided it was his lucky day whether he got a sparring partner or not.

"Good morning ladies," he greeted them with a grin.

Aeryn has no idea why people keep thinking morning's so good. She gives him a little nod hello.

[saltandammo]

Not exactly the warmest of greetings he'd ever gotten, but she was busy. Dean watched her work the heavy bag.. "Remind me never to make you mad," he said after a few minutes of watching her punch and kick. She was damn good.

"Quick learner," she says, backing off from the bag for a second to get into a better position for a kick.

[saltandammo]

"Yeah, well I try." He smiled again. "I'm Dean. I'm new here."

"Aeryn," she tells him. "And I figured as much."

[saltandammo]

"And you're not new here," Dean guessed.

"Been here since September," she nods, going for another punch to the bag. "And by now I know most of the people who came in here. At least, I did before this last week."

Dean nodded. "Yeah, there are a hell of a lot of us newbies, aren't there? Never thought summer school would be so popular."

"There are more of you every enrollment," she says, shaking her head. "Maybe it's something about Fandom. I honestly don't know."

[saltandammo]

"There's definitely something about Fandom, that's for sure," Dean pointed out. "This place is the weirdest I've ever been, and I've seen some pretty weird things."

"You've gotten all the usual warnings, then?" Aeryn asks. "Zombies, snow monsters, gremlins, vampires, spontaneous animal transformations?"

[saltandammo]

"Yes, yes, yes, yes and no," Dean replied, ticking them off on his fingers. "I don't think anyone's mentioned spontaneous animal transformations... unless that has to do with the invasion of tiny dancing bunnies?"

[can_be_more]

"Not as far as I know," she says, thinking about it. "Logan was a bunny twice, Cameron was a wolf, Beka was a hamster which still makes me laugh, Zero was a pink cat... And those were just the times that it wasn't on purpose."

[saltandammo]

Dean shook his head. "Every time I think I've heard the limits of this place's freakiness, I just hear something else that's even freakier. Was there some pattern to the changes or was it a case of just waking up hamster?"

Aeryn pauses. "I'm not entirely sure. It just... happens. Also, watch out for locker 327. I don't know what happens in there, exactly, but I know it isn't good. There may be students lost in there from last fall."
