Kaethus had a thing about workout machines.
Before Day Zero it would have meant hell had frozen over if he had wandered into the Prison Gym, even by accident. He'd managed to squeak by with some light weights in the yard for his "exercise", but now it was different. Now he might actually need to be in shape.
When he walked in there was that look of disgust on his face as he gazed to the machines and away. They were big, loud, clunky and he might have once tried to steal one with severe consequences. Or at least that was the story he was spinning with everyone else. While he wanted it over, he remembered Aaron's words about working out without a warmup and it made him cringe.
"Fine fine." He mumbled, taking a place near a window to stretch out. Somehow it reminded him of grade school as he moved his legs and his arms, following the stretches he could remember that seemed utterly useless. If it worked then it will work fine now.
And weirdly enough, he was right. After he shook it out he felt pretty good about it. "Alright... machines...."

Wearing his jumpsuit with the sleeves tied around his waist, white tanktop showing. A joker, full of himself but jumps into things and doesn't back down. Occasionally a dumbass. Criminal backround mostly in pickpocketing and shoplifting.
His palms felt sweaty as he moved onto a treadmill and stared at the buttons, flipping what he thought was the start button. There was a humming noise as the machine picked up quickly and Kaethus felt his legs start moving with it. "Yeah all right!" He said, turning back to make sure no one was in the area to hear him.
The pounding of his feet against the moving walkway quickened while his thumb pressed the arrow key up. For a moment he thought he slipped too high but he was at a good pace, staring out towards the small window as he continued.
At the end of the cycle it released a satisfied BEEP noise as it slowed to a stop and Kaethus moved off of it like a bear trying to roll out of bed. Panting slightly, he used the towel around his neck to wipe the sweat from his face, smirking to himself. <******** yeah I did that."
Not that he had doubted he could, but acts of god weren't under that umbrella of what he could and could not do. Luckily, that hadn't happened and there was no bruise on his unscathed ego. That mixed with the workout made him feel pretty good as he walked out.
[Loot] + 4 Bars!
