[Raven's already smiling a bit before she even starts her message, because she feels ridiculous, yes. She almost wants to preface with a warning, No This is Not an Attempt to Sound Macho or Intimidating, or anything else other than what it plainly is, but she doesn't. Instead, she'll get right to it.]

So, I've noticed that the boys have managed to pull together a boxing... fighting club to keep active here, but I was wondering if anyone has discovered a basic weight room or the like yet? I've been to the green room (that's what I like to call it, anyway) to go on runs, but I need something more. A means of physical training. Anyone have any luck finding such a place yet?

If not, I'd love to start something a little more female friendly. [Her expression screws up a bit, because even being directly out of the 1960s, she knows how bad that sounds.] Mm, no, not female friendly. That's not what I meant. But something less combat-focused and more core training. If not just so I have something to do other than explore this massive boat.

And don't mistake that for something easy, or something less physically challenging, I just mean less fighting, more ...pure exercise.

Unless of course the fight club wouldn't mind having a female member. That could work for what I'm looking for, I suppose. [... SMUG. Calling you out, sirs. Let's see if anyone bites.] Let me know.

[ooc: leaving for work ..five minutes ago, but i'll be tagging as soon as i get home! yee!!]

[Dean browses the network only when he's either drunk or bored. Today he's a little drunk and a little bored and mostly trying to avoid certain conversations. But the mention of fight club gets his attention.]

We already got a couple chicks who fight. [Yeah, no more commenting on how they fight. That's just going to make sure he never gets laid on this damn ship. Freakin' feminists.]

You got the moves to back you up? Yeah. Yeah, you can come see what we do.

[ but you got something to say, winchester? ]

I'd like that. [She hears that tone of yours, buddy. Though now she's considering shifting into a man just to avoid any question of if they'd be holding back on her or not. Not that she's cruising to get her face beat in, but training is training.]

And I've got some moves, yeah. Still learning, but that's the point, right? I can handle it.

Okay. [Not that he's really playing manager of this ~~little~~ huge club. He just wants to fight, not to manage other people's anger issues. He might have said it's to keep fit but there's little that releases stress and frustration more than lashing out.]

Look out on the network for announcements.

You should talk to Natasha! She's quite capable. Perhaps you two could spar?

There are a few girls at the fight club, though.

Are there? That's a relief. I admit, I didn't really keep up with the sign ups after it started to read a little like a testosterone match.

[ her ears were burning, apparently! ]

I'd be interest in establishing a core training program as well.

I'd like that! I only have a little knowledge beyond basic hand to hand, but I'm not lacking in strength nor the will to learn. [SHE REALLY REALLY WANTS TO LEARN MORE, she's just trying to play it cool.]

Back home I was training nearly every day, it just seems silly to give that up just because I'm not there anymore. [And she needs something to distract her from the fact that she's alone here now.]

I can admire that kind of dedication.

What type of basic hand-to-hand were you learning and would you be interested in learning armed combat as well?

I would be all about everything you just said.

Great! That's awesome to hear. I just wish I knew if there was an actual training area on board somewhere.

My guess is your best bet is to just wander until you find it.

Or we can just spar in a hallway somewhere and see if anyone wants to join in.

Yeah, I've wandered a bit. Got lost, which was... awkward. But if nothing else, I guess the green room would work.

[She gestures to her very green outfit] I could also be all about green rooms.

I'm Artemis, by the way.

[She grins widely at that]

And I'm Raven, nice to meet you.

[Artemis grins right back] You too.

You know you ought to try archery, it's great for building up your arms and your core.

Both of those sound great. Where do the boys meet to fight?

Umm. The green room, I think. Well, the room with the plants and whatnot. I think? I don't know for sure.

And apparently it's not all boys, which is groovy. [sigh!] Not that it should matter. I mean, it matters a little back home, but things are different here.

I don't see why it should matter at all. As long as everyone's welcome, it sounds like my kind of workout. I wouldn't mind some weights or a training room either, though.

Men aren't exactly keen on fighting with women, where I'm from. Mm, physically, I mean.

[a chuckle]

But men and women will yell at each other all day, no problem?

As long as everyone involved can keep up, I'm fine with it.

I would gladly join such an organization.
I feel useless in combat without my needles, which is something I'd like to rectify.
