Who: Kat OT Any peeps in and around Regan High
Where: Field next to Regan High's Gymnasium
When: Wednesday afternoon, lunch (December 9)


It was getting a little chillier during the days, but the sun was still out and shining brightly in the clear, blue sky. Kat had decided to skip lunch – not the meal, just the half hour socializing period – and was currently standing alone in the middle of the field next to the gym. Rumor had it, it was set to be cleared out and turned into the new baseball diamond, complete with new bleachers, announcer's booth, scoreboards, and concession stand. For now, it was just the place where the stoners and alkies went to get wasted, because it wasn't often patrolled by the teachers or office administrators.

Pulling her sweater over her head, she folded it and dropped it on top of her booksack, ignoring the outburst of laughter and whistles the came from the delinquents sitting in the shade of the gym as she straightened out the tank top she'd worn beneath. Running her fingers through her hair, she gathered the long, dark strands into a high ponytail and then did a few stretches to warm her muscles up and loosen her joints.

With a running start, she launched her body into a gymnastics tumbling pass: front handspring, double front tuck, into a roundoff, whip back, triple full twist. She made it look effortless, flipping and spinning through the air at the end before she landed on both feet…and stuck it. With a cocky little grin, she brushed her hands off on the back of her jeans. Yeah…she still had it. This was her thing, though. This was what she was good at. The petite Slayer paused only long enough to tighten her ponytail and then ran into another roundoff and a series of back handsprings that brought her back to her starting point.

She had to keep active. Training with Harrison was helping – more than she probably wanted to admit – but what she had in athletic skill and strength, she needed to amplify with fighting technique. That was still her weak point, no matter how many books on strategy she read.

Breathing in slowly, she raised her arms over her head to stretch again, and then exhaled. Her speed was good, even for a Slayer, and this time she did a roundoff into a side flip, landing it and transitioning smoothly into a roundhouse kick. Her movements were tighter, more controlled, and as soon as both feet were on the ground again, she twisted into a spinning whip kick, her momentum carrying such power that it would have been quite dangerous had anyone actually been standing in front of her.
