Welcome to the Gun Show

The Estate's meticulously kept gardens, including a hedgemaze that students have occasionally described as "sadistic" and a sizeable rose garden. Benches in shaded spots are plentiful, and the gardens are popular to study in on pleasant days.

Welcome to the Gun Show

Postby Roland Sackville » Fri Jan 09, 2015 6:30 pm

It may have been brisk in late September, but that didn't stop Roland from doing some sort of tai chi-like thing (was it Tai Chi?) out in the garden, shirtless.

It looked as if he was lost in thought.

Haley let out an impressive wolf whistle as she crossed the garden towards him.

"Hey Prof," she grinned.

"Ah! Haley," Roland said, suitably abashed by the whistle. "How...erm...how's it hanging?" he said, trying out a new piece of slang.

"You're still cool, just in your own way. Your new outfits I keep suggesting for you are helping the cool factor."

As are those abs. God damn.

"Can't escape very well if you're restricted by your jeans. I'd have to shed 'em," he said, keeping a straight face.

"But if I stopped, then surely, the sabretooth tiger would catch me. I feel like you're not paying attention," Roland said, keeping up the deadpan.

Haley quirked an eyebrow at him, but quickly changed the subject. "So. I like our runs. But we should mix it up sometime. I wanna get ripped so I'm strong enough to do shit without needing my TK."

Roland flinched, just a little, at the unexpected touch.

"Well, how strong are we talking about? Your frame isn't THAT large to begin with..."

"Yes, it was.

And...remind me to go into the cold war some in class.


No, I haven't seen James Bond. We didn't get much--I used to listen to records from the West printed on old X-rays."

"Alright, I'll help you get..."swole", as you put it. But you'll have to do something in return."

"How do you listen to a picture of a bone?" she asked, confused, while presumably Roland face palmed.

"But sure...what do I need to agree to?"

"Gotta think of something worthwhile huh?" she smirked, pulling out her phone and playing with it. A few seconds later she apparently found a YouTube clip of the Jeopardy! music and played it loudly on her phone.
