Who: Sara
Broadcast: Video!
Action: On the Marsiva // The Twin Roses
When: Now!

[ The feed starts with Sara adjusting the camera and pursing her lips, then flashing a waxy smile that doesn't go anywhere near her eyes ]

Hi, so, I'm going to need you to go ahead and let me out of here and return me to my ship. I mean, we could do this the long way, but you really, really won't like that. It will be long. And painful. Possibly over days. The thing I'm going to assume you didn't realize about me before you decided to make this incredibly idiotic move is that I don't take kindly to cages. They're not really my thing, and I have a particular prejudice against the people who want to put me in them.

But hey.

[ She puts her hands up in a conciliatory manner ]

Maybe I'm reading this entire situation the wrong way. Just come and get me, we'll talk, and I won't even break your fingers for it. Promise.

Okay? Okay. Chop chop!

[ She rolls her eyes, sighs, and switches off the camera ]

****

[ some time later, Sara shows up in a burst of confetti on The Twin Roses. Hi friends! ]

Those are also my favorite hobbies. What a coincidence.

[outstandingbalance]

I find that easy to believe.

[sassy_assassin]

So what's your poison? I don't take you for a crossfit enthusiast.

[outstandingbalance]

No, not really. I'd say my workouts are... eclectic.

[sassy_assassin]

Combat based?

As a shot in the dark.

[outstandingbalance]

Sometimes. Sometimes is do gymnastics.

I like to jog.

[sassy_assassin]

Does anyone really like to jog?

[outstandingbalance]

What? You don't like cardio?

[sassy_assassin]

I do cardio, but it's kind of boring. I like to have a point to what I'm doing.

[outstandingbalance]

What kind of point do you have in mind?

[sassy_assassin]

Sparring, usually.

[outstandingbalance]

That's a different kind of workout.

[sassy_assassin]

I guess. My heart rate goes up, though.

[outstandingbalance]

Well, there's all sorts of ways to get your heart rate up.

[sassy_assassin]

Exactly. So why choose jogging?

[outstandingbalance]

Gives me time to think.

[sassy_assassin]

Another reason to dislike jogging.

[outstandingbalance]

All the more reason to do it.

[sassy_assassin]

To each their own, I guess.

[outstandingbalance]

You can say that.

But it's not as though I don't get my fights in too.

[sassy_assassin]

Weapon of choice?

[outstandingbalance]

Depends who I'm fighting, what I'm doing.

You have something in mind?

[sassy_assassin]

Not really. I'm pretty utilitarian.

[outstandingbalance]

So I'm fighting you in this question.

[sassy_assassin]

Sorry, I thought that was apparent. I don't have enough friends to set you up with someone else.
