After her bout with the paintball machine, Monica had to admit that she needed a real workout. Sure, paintball was fun...but where was she gonna get a real gun? She didn't even know how to use one of those! It was certainly high time to remember: she needed to stay in shape. They were going to have to start looking outside for supplies more than ever, after all, and that meant a healthy ability to, well, run.
She made sure she was dressed for the part and made her way over to the gym, taking up space on the yoga mats to attempt some quick crunches. She didn't want to overexert herself, after all...
But it looked like, in this case, Monica's enthusiasm was working against her. Did sit ups usually feel this...awful on her stomach?

She was not here for this.
Athena pulled her brown hair back into a ponytail with a hairtie that had seen better days (what hadn't, these days), and started to twist her arms and touch her toes, a scowl on her face. In all honesty, she was putting off the running, because there was nothing worse in this whole world.
"I would rather jump out of a literal plane," she said to Monica, bitter, "than run. Or jump rope. Or any of this."

Character's name: athena hyperion Character's faction: prison Character's journal link:here Character's survival stats: Athena HyperionView BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF MY CHARACTER Athena looks, well. Average. Brown hair, brown eyes, average height and weight and just the slightest smattering of freckles. No one would look twice at her and frankly, that's the way she likes it. She's got no time for anyone that isn't already in her life, friend or otherwise.
"Jump rope isn't so bad," Monica mused, when she realized the gym's other occupant was in fact addressing her. It wasn't! There were cute rhymes and, you know, people to jump with. "But I think we don't have any plans for you to jump out of." That would've been a thought, right? In all honesty sarcasm tended to go right over Monica's fluffy head. "Wouldn't it be cool if we could play tag and get bars for that?" Technically when you played tag you were running, after all.
She didn't seem to be budging, either, from her relatively comfortable position on the floor. Hey, her stomach hurt, okay?

Athena grunted, grabbing a jump rope off a rack, sighing to herself.
"I just don't see the ******** point. It feels like-- I don't know. I didn't ask to get stuck here, you know?" She looked at Monica, and tried to gauge whether or not she should talk very much to her. "Not that I don't appreciate his allocation of supplies and the safekeeping. I do."
She began skipping rope idly, hopping at an even pace, taking it slow and steady. "I just don't really know how I feel about listening to some two bit warden for every facet of my life. Ah well. I'm Athena, b the way. Don't think I know your name."

6 -15: You get a decent workout. Not amazing, but it's still something to help keep you in shape. +2 bars
Monica tilted her head. "Yeah, I mean, neither did I, but my little bro's here too, and I'd rather be in here than in there for now. The only zombie we've seen inside was the rooftop one." That was definitely a point in this place's favor. She pulled herself over to the treadmill. "Anyway, I think the fact that we'redoing this means we'll get out some day, right?" Monica saw the endless bouts of running as practice.
She added, as the machine began to pick up its pace, "I'm Monica! I like your name!"
17-3=14; 2 bars

And then Athena just looked guarded. "Oh," she said, "who's your brother?"
Getting out of here.
Ha. Talk about overly optimistic. She looked out towards the door of the gym, out towards the walls. Past them was a world gone awry, past them was a world lost in chaos, delved into insanity and --
Her sister was gone. She had been too young, despite being the older one. "It's nice to meet you. Take care of yourself, and a word of advice to you. Don't trust anyone outside of family. Myself included."

SORRY I ACCIDENTALLY ROLLED MY GM RAFFLE IN HERE LMAO. WOOPS.
"Um," Monica began. "His name's Cory?" Why was she reacting like that? It wasn't a bad thing, right? "He's, like, taller than me, but still short for a guy..." (It was not hard to be taller than Monica, who was about five feet even.) He was a little young, to be here, but he'd been about to visit her when it'd all happened, and in all honesty Monica was glad she at least knew he was safe.
Monica's thing was optimism and energy, so she merely shrugged in response. "Nice meeting you too! But...I think it's a little sad to look at it that way." There were mental evaluations for a reason, right? Whoever had jumped, or gotten pushed off...Monica shivered. It had to be a one off. "I mean, at least here...we're all constantly being evaluated to some point. That's why we've survived so long!"

Athena had been...avoiding the mental evaluations.
Her face grew almost pitying.
"Just don't think that humans are innately good, that's all. When it comes down to it, no one has your back besides blood. I don't mean to be nasty. I lost my sister on day zero; she became a shambler in the ward next door. I watched her. No one helped her any step of the way."
She sighed, and offered a final wave goodbye to Monica. "Just remember what I said, yeah? Nice to meet you, kid."
"But that's awful," said Monica, rightly horrified by the thought of this woman's sister all alone. "I'm sorry..." More than anything right now she wished there were a cure.
But who in a prison had the expertise to develop one? They could barely keep the medical wing running. Man, just thinking about all this was scary. "See you," she added now that she was at a loss for words, waving as Athena left.
Right. She just had to finish up here...
