video

[When the video kicks in, Maggie can be found with the Gym in the background. Her device is perched in her lap as she addresses the network.]

I've been here a while, but I don't think I've seen anyone offering lessons for a long time. I'm not too bad with throwing knives or hand to hand if anyone wants to learn or wants someone to practice with. It's always good to keep sharp, right?

[Maggie looks like she's ready to go already, her hair pulled back and gloves on her hands.]

Anyway - for anyone who doesn't know me, I'm Maggie. I'll be in the Gym if someone's lookin' to blow off some steam.

Closed to Glenn - on the SS Goldstone

[With the ships drifting, there really isn't much of a chance to take a shuttle out and find somewhere to explore. This leaves things up to improvisation as Maggie takes over a small corner of their spacious Cargo Bay, setting out a blanket and a makeshift picnic basket. It wasn't much but it was something.

Maggie had a plate of food in her lap and a fork in her hand. It wasn't the fun world exploration she would have liked, but it was something. The last planet hadn't exactly been that spectacular, but hopefully the next would make up for it. No matter the location, she was just glad to see it with her husband. Speaking of, she can't help but look up at him, a small smile on her face as she enjoys her food.]

I know a lot of this is rations and synthetic stuff, but it's not too bad, right?

Gym - open

[It was always good to blow off some steam once in a while and Maggie is no exception. She can be found practicing getting in a few punches and kicks on some training equipment, her focus completely on beating on the piece of equipment in front of her that jostled every so often from the force of her blows. Anyone looking to train with her was welcome, of course.

There wasn't too much to do during drifting like this, but this was enough to take up her time. Keeping busy, keeping fit, was important. Once she was done wailing on the equipment, Maggie would be stopping for a stretch, seated on a mat with her legs stretched in front of her as she did so.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I could use the practice, probably. [he's been feeling antsy lately, so why not] Want a moving punching bag?

Sure. The more the merrier.

[She can totally understand feeling antsy. Losing a captain, watching your friend turn into a zombie, and having your husband show up all in the span of weeks had been a lot.]

Got anything specific you want to practice?

[oh, now he's gotta think about it. He hums, scratching at at the stubble on his cheek]

Dunno, depends on how hard you wanna go. I'm trained, but I'm also like - wasn't joking about the punching bag comment, either.

I'm not trained. I only learned from being on the road a lot. Can't be too careful. I throw a mean right hook, though.

[She can't help but chuckle, feeling a little lame in comparison to anyone who had actual formal training.]

I know how to throw knives and use guns, but it never hurts to learn somethin' new.

See, that's a step ahead of like, half the guys I know. None of 'em know how to throw a damn punch. [he taps his temple] I know better than to believe that "not trained" bullshit, you folks are more dangerous than the trained ones.

[he ain't even saying that, he means it, ya'll dangerous]

I know guns, but I don't know knives past like, how to hold 'em right. Could you teach me? Maybe we could, I dunno, trade fighting tips or something.
