John nods, "I know it hurts like hell when you're first starting, but of your body isn't burning, you're really exercising. Come on, just eight more. You can do it!"

Devika let out a little affirmative grunt, actually feeling encouraged. If he wasn't watching her, she probably would have quit already. She counted the sit ups in her head, struggling for breath. Six... seven... eight... "Ooof..." She slumped back to the ground, panting. "...ow."

Katherine, you called? (Sort of, I mean...)

John drops down and asks, "What do you mean, dangerous? It's a pretty common exercise." He clears his throat then says, "I suppose sit-ups are next. Lay on the ground, clasp your hands behind your head, and keep your knees bent with your feet flat on the ground. I'll hold your feet and you just sit up. We'll do it as many times as you can."

Devika shrugged. "I mean, you could fall or something..." She settled down on the ground, tucked her hands behind her heat, and started to struggle upward. The first few were okay, but soon she was feeling a horrible burn in her abdomen. "Ughh... this hurts."

(Guys, I'm going to say there's a slight time difference between John and Devika and everyone else. The stuff that we post for them will be happening about thirty minutes before the stuff that's happening to everyone else.)John nods as Devika speeds up and says, "Lookin' good. In about ten or fifteen minutes, we can switch to something else." He walks a little ways away and jumps up, grabbing hold of a metal bar above him. He begins doing pull-ups and chin-ups, switching every ten reps.

Devika continued to walk, rather distracted by what John was doing. "How do you not fall? I mean, that looks sort of..." Awesome. "Dangerous." But she kept on jogging, the ten minutes up before she knew it. "Well, what's next?"

Devika listened to his instructions, carefully planting her feet on either side of the treadmill's belt. She watched it move for a moment or two before she carefully stepped on. She walked, steadily, but it wasn't really much effort. "Er... I guess I'll make it faster." She pressed the top arrow a few times until she was moving at a light jog.

Devika rolled her eyes and punched John in the shoulder for his comment. Then she flinched and shook her hand. "Ow. What the hell are you made of, bricks? Sheesh..." She produced a large water bottle from her bag. "So... what do I do?" She stepped onto the treadmill, looking apprehensively at all the buttons.

Academy of Heroes and Villains

Hey. I'm here more or less.

Kijani gave up trying to sleep around dawn. She dressed quickly and headed out. She had a book in her hand, and weaved her way through the students on campus as she headed to the cafeteria.

Devika made it to the gym. Her already wild curly hair was out of control, and she was dressed in a long t-shirt and basketball shorts. She yanked open the door to the gym, and headed toward the noise of the rowing machine. "Hey..." She stifled a long yawn. "Why'm I here this early, again?"

Academy of Heroes and Villains

Sorry I fell asleep on you, Caits. >< But the date's all done.. I wonder what's in store...

Kijani was quiet on the way back to school. She stayed close to Connor as they walked through the campus, and gave him a gentle kiss when they reached her door. "Sorry I wasn't... as fun tonight. See you tomorrow, okay?" She smiled and slipped into her dorm. It would be a long night, tossing and turning, and fighting nightmares.

Devika groaned and swore colorfully as her alarm went off at six AM. "Mmmgrh..." She smacked the button and remembered just in time that she was getting up for a reason. Exercise time, whoo. She put on some loose gym clothes, packed a bag with better clothes, and headed out toward the gym. "Mm, maybe I can install a coffeemaker in my room... Or an expresso..."
