Just another day (OTA)

[kiddosgotclaws]

Beatrix sat on a bench in the park, eating an ice cream cone, a small smirk on her face.  She had actually forgotten how much of a pain in the proverbial ass it was to clean and resharpen all that equiptment.  Not that she should complain at all.  Everyone she knew was fine, as far as she knew.  She was able to collect all her knives after whatever

K-Mart was anything but feeling normal, though. She'd been twitchy and restless ever since the previous weekend. She'd been out in the fight, because she couldn't just let people defend the village alone. Well, not alone, but she couldn't just sit and let them do it without trying to help.

But now there was the twitchy and restless thing to deal with. So rather than go insane in her hotel room -- nice room though it was -- she'd decided to go out for a walk.

"Mind if I join you?" she asked the woman as she neared her bench. She wasn't feeling like being alone at the moment.

"Always room for you, K-Mart." Beatrix said, motioning over, "Good to see you, especially after all that fun. How you holding up?" Beatrix asked.

"I'm doing okay," K-Mart said as she sat. "Feeling kind of... weird, I guess. It reminded me too much of home. The fighting for my life part, not the exact specifics of it."

"Yeah, I can imagine. But at least here it's a once in a while thing, not every day. Not that it helps much." Beatrix said, truthfully.

"It doesn't help right now," K-Mart admitted. "But in general it's a good thing to keep in mind."

"You didn't get injured by one of those freaking things, did you?" Beatrix asked, a little nervously. She hadn't seen her, and had been all over the place killing those things left and right and helping where she could.

"Lucked out," K-Mart said. "All I got to show for my troubles are some bruises from getting thrown against things. I can totally live with that." She grinned.

"I got a couple of scratches, but I've had deeper shaving my legs." Beatrix said, teasingly, "OH, I forgot, you were right. Splat really does hurt more. I saw a guy arrive. Splat, face down." Beatrix said, grinning.

K-Mart couldn't help laughing. "Oh, my God. Seriously? Was the guy okay? Because damn, that had to have been painful."

[kiddosgotclaws]

"Yeah, he was fine. There was nothing there, and then poof, he appeared like four feet off the ground, and landed face first. Once I found out he was OK, I couldn't help but laugh." Beatrix admitted, chuckling.

"As long as he was okay, it's kinda downright hilarious," K-Mart said with a grin. "Because really, that's one helluva way to arrive in town."

[kiddosgotclaws]

"Oh, most definatly!" Beatrix said, laughing, "So what have you been up to? Haven't seen ya around much."

K-Mart shrugged. "Been thinking of getting a part-time job," she said. "So I've been poking around, trying to find something that interests me."

[kiddosgotclaws]

"Having any luck?" Beatrix asked, curiously.

[notthestore]

K-Mart shook her head. "The places I'd be interested in probably wouldn't hire a teenage girl."

"Well, what are you intrested in doing?" Beatrix asked, curiously.
