The Ol' Razzle-Dazzle - Katsumi Oshiro vs. Claire Thomas(!!!)

[CyanDimitrik]

Katsumi pouted out her lips in 'frustration' as Claire taunts her. Her stance tilts forward to telegraph her intentions to Claire, using nothing more than subtle body language cues; the more on the same page they are, the better things will be! Or at least, the less likely there will be mishap.

She darts forward, attempting to catch the blonde girl against the ropes. It's nothing more than a bodypress at first, Katsumi's modest chest pushing against Claire's breasts, bare, trim stomach against equally bare stomach, and hips firmly to hips. Her left forearm presses against Claire's collar, avoiding her neck, but trying to give the impression that she's choking her. But she does lean quite heavily against her, body-to-body, corner to corner, letting the tension of the ropes trap her rookie opponent securely against her.

The hold brings their faces to mere inches apart, unless Claire happens to tilt her face back and away from her.

[Ichi]

"Hmmm... this is nice," thought Claire as Katsumi's body pressed against her own. Then, Katsumi's left forearm pressed against Claire's collar in a pretend choke.

Claire would struggle as if she were trying to escape the hold. In the process, her body would rub against Katsumi's, bare skin on bare skin. Claire would also put her right hand on Katsumi's elbow and pretend to push to her left without actually applying any pressure. While she did this, Claire would look straight into Katsumi's eyes as a faint smile appeared on her face.

[CyanDimitrik]

The body contact isn't lost on Katsumi, to be fair. She's not deliberately seeking it beyond the very physical nature of professional wrestling. It's a very hands-on, physical-contact kind of sport! But now that she's there, and every little squirm and struggle from Claire is causing their skin to brush together, muscles to grind against each other. The Punk Princess's breath catches faintly in her throat, her eyes focused on Claire inches from her face.

She leans into her a little bit further, head tilting to press her forehead against the blonde's. Each warm exhale whisks against her lips, her heart pounding hard against her opponent's chest.

"Let her go!," shouts the referee to fuss at her. "Right now! One! Two!"

But Claire is 'pushing' on the arm. It took Katsumi a moment to realize it, but she flows with it. Rather dramatically, she spins around to reverse positions with Claire, her free hand subtly tugging the other girl to cue her to follow suit. It'll be visually exciting for the crowd, at least! But she doesn't direct her in what to do once Katsumi's back is pressed into the ropes.

[Ichi]

Claire was a little surprised when Katsumi swapped positions with her but otherwise went along with it. After the two swapped positions, Claire paused for a moment, unsure of what to do. Her grappler instincts wanted to take the fight to the ground but Claire wanted to try something different.

After a moment of hesitation, Claire would attempt to Irish whip Katsumi into the ropes on the opposite side of the ring! Claire had actually recently watched a video on how to perform the Irish whip as a means of preparing for her new career as a professional wrestler. Even though Claire had not practiced the move physically, Claire had mentally-rehearsed the move several times---interestingly, Claire would actually perform the move quite well and with pretty good technique, provided that Katsumi did not resist.

If the Irish whip worked, Claire would run to the center of he ring and very clearly telegraph a clothesline. She would then wait for Katsumi to make her move---the ball was in Katsumi's court now!

[CyanDimitrik]

Of course Katsumi wouldn't be resisting the irish whip. Said whip barely registers for her. She's so familiar with the motions and the natural body mechanics involved that instinct simply autopilots her in one smooth, seamless transition from the ropes to running. The spry Japanese girl pivots on heel, pressing her back into the opposite ropes, and she springs forward!

The setup is obvious. Katsumi knows what she wants to do. Pulling it back is going to be tricky, but she'll try! As she races in towards the other girl, she spots the clothesline coming out. Hard to miss, really. But rather than duck it or take it head-on, the punkette seizes on the arm and whirls around her body - first beneath the arm and whirling in over Claire's left shoulder, naturally trapping the blonde's head beneath her left arm in DDT position. And, as momentum carries, Katsumi drops back to the mat; a picture-perfect display of agility in the form of a floatover DDT.

Well, almost.

Katsumi doesn't lie all the way back for the drop, sparing the top of Claire's head and/or face from impact with the mat. And the moment Katsumi's rear hits the mat, she twists over to lie Claire on her back, and herself directly overtop her; chest to chest, stomach to stomach. And as Katsumi adjusts herself against her for the pin, hips to hips and face to face. The Punk Princess hooks her left arm behind Claire's neck to cradle her face close to hers, easily allowing cheekbones to touch, while her right hand sets over the girl's bicep in dominant, if subtly sensual positioning.

[Ichi]

Claire was mildly surprised at the flashy move that Katsumi pulled off---after all, the move was pretty acrobatic and Claire had not been expecting it. As Claire's head flew towards the mat, Claire was quite calm as she chose to trust Katsumi.

Thankfully, Claire's trust had not been misplaced: Katsumi made sure to avoid spiking Claire's head into the mat. Claire silently thanked Katsumi for her kindness as getting one's head slammed into the mat would be unpleasant, even for someone as durable as Claire. After executing the DDT, Katsumi was met with no resistance as she pushed Claire onto her back and got on top of her. The two women's cheekbones touched, and Claire smiled as she felt Katsumi's skin against her own.

After taking half a second to enjoy the sensations, Claire would bridge her hips and roll over, switching positions with Katsumi. However, Claire would position herself in such a way that Katsumi was not at risk of being pinned. Then, Claire would look at Katsumi with a playful smile.

"All this close contact... I'm beginning to think you're doing this on purpose, Katsumi-chan~" said Claire teasingly. After saying that, Claire would playfully run her finger down Katsumi's side while looking to see what Katsumi's reaction would be.

[CyanDimitrik]

Positioning in place, Katsumi had settled in to enjoy what she figured would be at least a two-count. If Claire decided to keep the match going and kick out, they'd continue their surprisingly fun back and forth. If Claire opted to lie back and just ride out the end, that too would be fine. Katsumi would make sure she knew things were fine between them; especially after that extremely rock, emotional rollercoaster of a start.

But it only took half a second! Barely a one-count!

Claire's hips buck, and the two are rolled over to the squeaking surprise of Oshiro-chan. The Punkette stares up at her, briefly stunned, then squirming at the fingertip drawing along her bare side. "We're wrestling!," she protests in a small voice. "Don't make it weeeiiird!" Despite it, she's grinning. It just doesn't feel like there's anything at stake in this match. It could change at a moment's notice, but her guard is officially down.

"Now get back over here..."

She tries to reach the back of Claire's neck with her left hand, her hips bucking up against the blonde's to try to pull and roll the two over again. And once again, they may find themselves in a small pile, Katsumi lying face-to-face with her foe, unabashedly resting her body flat over hers. Only this time, her legs would shift, attempting to tangle between Claire's to pull them slightly apart in a grapevine. Nothing approaching painful, but just to take her lower body out of the equation. With the side-effect of forcing their hips tight together.

[Ichi]

As expected, Katsumi objected a little to Claire's teasing. However, Katsumi did not object much, to the relief of Claire. Had Katsumi gotten angry or upset, Claire would have quickly backed off.

"Now get back over here..." said Katsumi.

Claire felt Katsumi grab the back of her neck. From her grappling experience, Claire predicted that Katsumi would attempt to reverse positions. A moment later, Claire's prediction was proven true as Katsumi bucked her hips and rolled the two of them over. Then, Katsumi's legs suddenly grapevined Claire's legs!

"Hmm... clever..." thought Claire as she felt her legs being grapevined. That was definitely a clever move on Katsumi's part as it prevented Claire from making full use of her legs. Claire was about to do some slick grappling move to reverse the position once again but then paused.

"I wonder..." thought Claire.

"ONE!"
"TWO!"

Suddenly, Claire would attempt a kickout! She figured that she might as well be a little daring and try a professional wrestling-style kickout. She decided to trust Katsumi: whether or not Claire got pinned for the three-count would be entirely up to Katsumi. However, even though Claire had chosen to leave things in Katsumi's hands, Claire hoped that the match would continue.

[CyanDimitrik]

This time, Claire seemed content to lie flat and be pinned for a couple seconds. Why not take it a bit easy, right? Surely she knows Katsumi would let her up if she wanted to continue. They could make it look good, too! But the grapevine was more for the purpose of locking her legs down to prevent the pin being broken too fast. Odd then that Claire would buck her legs in an attempt to kick out.

Obviously it doesn't work. It's a convincing struggle for the audience, though!

And reacting more to Claire's effort to break free at the last second than thinking it was a sincere attempt, the punkette twists just enough to convince the referee that the shoulder was probably up. The audience cheers at Claire keeping alive in the contest, and Katsumi begins to detangle her legs from the other girl.

"Can't tell if you were trying to get grindy or wantin' free," she teases. Her right hand hooks the nape of the other girl's neck, attempting to pull her up to her feet. And once standing, she'd aim a punch for her bare stomach. Or that is, a 'punch' meant more to lightly bump her fist into Claire's belly. Gotta keep her softened up, right?

[Ichi]

"That was close," thought Claire as her shoulder came off the mat. Claire was a little surprised at the initial resistance to her kick out but was ultimately pleased that the match would continue. Then, as Katsumi untangled her legs from Claire's legs, Claire simply laid on the mat casually.

"Can't tell if you were trying to get grindy or wantin' free," teased Katsumi. This caused Claire to giggle as she realized that two shirtless (albeit not completely topless) women grappling with each other would probably look slightly erotic to an outside viewer. Claire offered no resistance as she was pulled to her feet by Katsumi. However, once Claire was on her feet, she would immediately pull Katsumi in close, not even giving Katsumi a chance to fire off her "punch"!

"Oh? You thought that was grindy? No, THIS is grindy!" Claire said mischievously as she began to grind her hips against Katsumi's body as if Katsumi was some sort of stripper pole. For once, Claire would use her full strength to hold Katsumi in place, not willing to let her go---if Katsumi wanted out, she would really have to force it. While Claire did this, she would begin whispering in Katsumi's ear.

"Let's make this ending flashy. High mobility. Energetic. Don't end too quickly," whispered Claire. To the audience, it would probably look like Claire was whispering erotic taunts to Katsumi but that was not the case. In any case, since Claire was whispering the audience would be unaware of what Claire was actually saying. "I'll start with doing that throw-towards-ropes thing. You end with a submission. Okay?" said Claire quietly, clearly demonstrating that she did not know the proper term for an "Irish whip". "You'll win, of course," added Claire.

While Claire's request was worded as a command, her tone indicated that she was not dead-set on it. Furthermore, Claire would wait before performing the Irish whip, hopefully indicating that she was waiting for Katsumi to either give her approval or chime in with her own suggestion. In the meantime, Claire would continue her grinding as she waited for her "opponent's" response.
