[Lucky] | Uh. Who are you supposed to be? |
[Miner] | Howdy! |
[Miner] | Sorry, am I in your way? I thought this was, like, the fitness room. |
[Miner] | I had a bit of a scare the other day, with some chest pain. |
[Miner] | So, I've been trying to be a little more cautious about my health. |
[Miner] | An old buddy of mine used to tell me, "You've only got one body! You better treat it right!" |
[Miner] | I should've listened. And after getting a lil' spooked on that train ride, I figured I could at least give this hospital a vist. |
[Miner] | How about you? What are you in for? |
[Lucky] | Oh, uh...something about a rotator cuff. Can't use my arm. |
[Lucky] | Now I'm stuck here. It sucks. |
[Miner] | Hmm. How about we do a workout together? |
[Miner] | That friend I mentioned showed me all kinds of stretches. |
[Miner] | But before that, I wanna feel the difference in strength between your two shoulders. |
[Miner] | Let's try something... |
[Miner] | Hold your arm out and gimme a big thumbs up. |
[Miner] | Good! Now flip it to a thumbs down if you're tired of me already. |
[Miner] | I'm gonna gently cup my hands around yours. |
[Miner] | You'll feel a slight push from me, but try slowly moving your arm up and down. |
[placeholder for misses and whatnot] | |
[Miner] | I think that's enough! |
[Miner] | Now, we'll do the real thing. |
[Miner] | Relax and let your mind wander. You might hear people from outside. |
[Miner] | That's perfectly fine. Just clear your mind, feel the rhythm, and do the reps at your own pace. |
[Miner] | Let's begin. 20 reps, now. |
[After 5 reps]
Yo. Did you see who got admitted here the other day? | |
Lucky Jonronero. | |
...who's that? | |
Seriously? The...baseball player? On the Middlesea Scales? | |
Like, one of the biggest names on the team? | |
... | |
All-star pitcher? And, as of this season, number one for homeruns? | |
Not ringing a bell. I don't do baseball. | |
Okay. Well. He's a local celebrity. | |
That makes two of us! | |
...not really, no. |
