Atlas Gym; Tuesday [12/03].

Thinking it could be a good idea to promote gym memberships as gifts along with other gym-related bundles, like workout equipment, clothes, or protein-centered gift baskets, to earn a little extra money for the gym, Gladio had come in that morning hoping to get started on organizing and putting all that sort of stuff and some promotional signs together. But this was all derailed when he came in to find that all the dumbells, barbells, other weights, and even some of the treadmills and elliptical machines, had all been wrapped up in festive holiday paper.

It had not been like that when he swung by yesterday for his usual post-weekend check-in, which meant that either the island was doing a thing, or one of his employees had done a thing.

The problem was, trying to root out who was difficult, because while he genuinely wanted to congratulate that person because he thought it was kind of hilarious, actually, he had a feeling whoever did it just thought they were going to get in trouble for it.

But seriously, that kind of effort for a prank? He was going to be disappointed if it really was just the island, actually.

Atlas is open!

Summer was rocking a new tank top that was hilariously perfect for her whole deal, honestly, but it was her leggings that had her snorting a laugh and taking a selfie with one of the still-wrapped treadmills.

"Ohmygod, we match!"

Someday Stark might have new gym clothes to show off. Today was not that day.

But, as always, he did appreciate other people's outfits.

"Did you get new equipment?" He asked Gladio, nodding towards the wrapped weights. "Or just being festive?"

"We won't know unless we unwrap some," Stark said with a shrug.

It was probably safer to use unwrapped equipment anyway. Probably.

"Going well. And you? Did you have a good holiday?"

Had there been all the Cup Noodle he could eat?

"I went home with Summer," Stark said. "No one was murdered."

It was a low bar but they'd cleared it, okay?

"And I'm not sure i want to know a recipe you would have brought to Ignis that you think would impress Summer..."

He was actually very curious.

"I think it's always a bit of a concern when Summer's family is involved," Stark said. "Particularly her grandfather."

But nobody had died or been maimed or anything. It had been a success.

"And of course your food involved Cup Noodles. I would expect nothing less. I'm glad you had a good dinner that night. But of course you did if Ignis was cooking."

The hint of sadness in his tone at the mention of Ignis's cooking would be easy to miss. It wasn't intentional.
