Aroud Town [Too Damn Early in the Morning]

Steve loved his early morning runs when he was back in Fandom: all of the stairs were great for his quads and the Navy SEAL he passed multiple times on his circuit was always really irritated in a very satisfying way. He began his final lap, glancing around for the new people he'd glimpsed on his run in the last few weeks.

[OOC: Since we have a bunch of handwavy morning joggers, figured this was a good way to get them to interact. Open!]

Dwight was very much what one would consider a forced morning person. Between his years in service and all the insanity in Haven before he left, morning just seemed to happen early for him. Add in the frequent bouts of insomnia and nightmares, and he had seen sunrises far more often than he would have liked. But he couldn't do anything about it so he would make the best of it. And that usually meant an early morning run to try and keep his mind occupied and in a good place.

So as he was about halfway through his route, Dwight gave a nod and slight wave to Steve as he ran by... again. He hadn't ever spoken to him yet, but Dwight had been on the island long enough to know who Steve was, at least so some extent. Still didn't stop Dwight from marveling at just how fast he was.

"On your left," Steve said politely as he ran past, waving back.

"Thanks speedy" he called out with a slight chuckle.

"Good morning!" Annie called with a smile, a hair out of breath as she came up upon Dwight. She recognized him from the hole -- look, with a limited number of people in there, you tended to at least take stock of the crowd. "Steve's gonna probably lap you, like, twice, just a warning."

He did it to everyone. Annie for sure wasn't jealous! And definitely hadn't picked up any resentment over this when running with Steve McGarrett. For sure.

"Ah he's passed me twice already" Dwight said with a laugh. "I'm not as fast as I used to be!"

He fell silent for a moment and then spoke again. "Annie, right? Nice to see you again."

Look, he was trying his best to remember people's names!

Annie wasn't a new person, but she was somewhat sporadic in her workout schedule between being in New York part-time and how her weights training could affect her cardio days. Not to mention that the last few weeks had been -- not to put too fine a point on it -- kind of a shitshow.

"Morning, Steve!" she called when she spotted him, huffing and puffing a bit because hello, stairs, the bane of her existence, how were you today?

Edited 2021-09-11 16:12 (UTC)

"Morning, Annie!" he said cheerfully because he was that asshole who was a morning person and got happier through exercise. "Coffee after?"

"Sounds great!" Annie gestured to her feet with two pointed fingers. "This is called earning a PSL."

Plus coffee would give her an excuse to pick something up for Diego and go by the station in a way that wasn't clingy at all, okay? Not clingy at all.

See, that was why you took the stairs slowly, Annie. Slowly and not on a skateboard because that led to crashing. Of course, taking the stairs slowly meant they weren't nearly as useful for exercise but when was Stark really going to need to be in peak condition?

Annie got a nod and a smile (Annie was pretty much always guaranteed a smile from Stark) and a "good morning" that wasn't at all out of breath. Because he was moving slowly.

Look, there was probably someone on this island who could make tons of arguments about how compelling Stark might be in peak condition, but if she wanted to argue about that, maybe she shouldn't sleep in so late, you know?

"Morning, Stark!" Annie replied, stopping to jog in place a little (because otherwise the graph that her watch would produce would show a dip and couldn't have that.) "You're out early."

Miguel was not a morning person. Miguel, however, had a morning shift, and so he was up and on his way to work.

He grunted in a vague hello as Steve passed by. He had not had nearly enough coffee to deal with a morning person.

That was fair.

"Morning!" Steve said, managing to be happy while running, the weirdo.

"Yeah," Miguel answered, trudging up another flight of stairs. "I noticed."

Hannibal didn't run, he jogged; that was quite enough for a non-super person of his age, he felt. Particularly with all the stairs.

Steve's enthusiasm amused him, though, and the man was always polite, so he smiled and waved each time he was passed.

Steve grinned as he went past. "On your left."

Hannibal breathed out a laugh. "One day you'll pass on my right," he said around his breaths, "but I'll have already moved there, and then where will you be?"

Jon was less a morning person and more an insomniac who'd been up for hours and given up and was now doing a perimeter check of the building to look for...he didn't even know. Cracks? Peeling paint? He still had no real idea what his job was here, but it probably involved making sure things looked okay.

He nodded and waved vaguely as Steve passed by.

Then frowned quizzically and waved again as Steve passed by again.

Annie, who was not nearly as quick as Steve (a fact that she resented all the time, don't worry), eventually passed by as well. Or, well, didn't so much pass by as come to a gradual stop, since her own apartment building was probably a good finish line, right?

"Everything okay, Jon?" she called, quite a bit out of breath and leaning over on her knees, though she was smiling and spared a hand to wave at him.

Dwight was on the tail end of his run as he passed Jon outside the apartment building. As such, his run had slowed to a jog and had now slowed to basically a brisk walk as he passed by.

"Morning Jon" he said simply as he approached.

Stark was not prone to running for any reason other than necessity. He was, however, often awake early (much earlier than anyone else who might be in the same apartment with him on any given morning) and that sometimes led to wandering around the island in the mornings if he was feeling at all restless.

He was probably going to end up at the coffee shop at some point. That happened more often than not. For now he was just walking. And offering a wave and a hello to Steve when he happened to go past, assuming he noticed. Steve was fast.

"Good morning, Stark!" Steve said, waving.

Morning person? Pfft.

Liam just plain didn't need all that much in the way of sleep. It was entirely possible that his 'morning' happened before some people on the island even called it a night.

But regardless of all of that, he was out doing a nice regular-human-paced run.

"Morning," he nodded to Steve as the other man passed by.

"Morning, Liam!" Steve said, slowing slightly as he ran by. "Nice morning, huh?"

Stark was still not running, just wandering at a regular alien pace, when his path ended up crossing Liam's.

"Morning."

Maybe he needed to go out very early more often. There were so many people around!
