Gym Shenanigans (For BlueResonance)

Unread post by CyanDimitrik »

The gym closest to the LAW arena is a rather popular spot, and not just because it's a nice facility. It tends to get a lot of traffic by people hoping to just catch LAW talent off the clock, swarm them for autographs, or otherwise just gawk at them. As it happens, none of these things apply to the young dynamo, Blaise Cameron. He could blame it on being male in a female-dominated arena. He could blame it on his abysmal track record, though he's actually seen success - which he's quite proud of. But in fact, he doesn't chalk it up to anything; it scarcely even registers beyond the idea that sometime, someday, he'll be as popular as the folks who get swamped.

It does have a nice side-perk, though. He can proceed with workouts without the expectation that he'll by interrupted. And once he gets beyond the front room of the gym, the veritable roar outside of machines at work and intruders fawning over athletes, it's actually very quiet. He can work with that.

Blaise is wearing a pair of blue sneakers, fingerless gloves, single armband, and athletic capris to match. Normally one might add a shirt to the mix, but the blue tanktop he came in wearing has just been removed, folded over an arm, then promptly tossed aside, leaving his sleekly-toned upper-body exposed.
Blaise
A large ring dominates the center of the room, but heck, he doesn't even see anyone present at this time - at least not on this side of the ring. Still, nothing warms him up like running the ropes. So the teen hops up onto the ring apron and slips between the ropes, making his way to its center to prepare.

Mika sighs softly. Another day here at LAW. It wasn't a bad place, necessarily, but, it seemed like every match she was in, she was always at risk of getting smothered or groped. She wasn't really the kind to go wild for girls , with the exception of maybe one or two, but it was like every girl she came across was less about the sport of it and more focused on how long they could keep their ass or their breasts in her face, or how many times they could grope her and get away with it.

She was more hoping to learn new styles of fighting, and apply it to what she knew currently to be a better fighter. What's worse was, this seemed to be an all girls place. It was a little confusing to her, because she could have sworn she heard this place was co-ed. She wished there was just one she could talk to. Maybe flirt with a little, if no one was watching.

She heads for the gym, in her ring attire of her blue school swimsuit, blue boots, and pink gloves. It was time to get a workout in and ready herself up for the rest of the day. As she stepped through the doors, she stopped, noticing a boy standing in the middle of the ring that was in the room. She looked up at him, staring at him for a moment. Was this real? Someone of the opposite sex? He was cute too, already shirtless, and dressed in blue, just like her!

She smiles just a little bit, and approaches the ring. Normally, she'd be a little more timid, but, she was just so happy to see someone of the opposite sex she just decided to approach him. "Hi!"

Well, Blaise entered the ring for a reason; to run the ropes. And that's exactly what he's going to do! The teen backs up into the ropes, stretching the cords across his bare back, and he launches forward-

A voice!

"Gah!"

His left foot crosses the right, and forward momentum demands to be satisfied! Blaise slams into the mat with a decisive THUD. He lies there for a full second before abruptly shooting to his feet, whirled to face the new arrival.

"Hey! Hi! That didn't happen!"

The red hue of his cheeks insists that it totally did, however.

Mika gasped when the boy tripped over his feet, and landed flat on the canvas. She winces sympathetically at how hard he just ate canvas. She started to slide into the ring after him to see if he was okay, until he suddenly popped up and whipped around to face her.

"Are you... okay?" She asked, sounding a bit concerned. "Your cheeks are red.. did you burn them across the mat?" She asked.

"What?! N-no! Of course not!," scoffs a thoroughly embarrased Blaise. His cheeks only redden further the more attention is paid to them. Blaise attempts to discreetly brush his hands against his traitorous cheeks, but it's the exact opposite of subtle.

Tactics change, and the teen rushes to the edge of the ring to look down at the diminutive interloper. "Are you wearing boxing gloves? Is that what you do? Box?"

Mika couldn't help but giggle as he just denied it, but couldn't even make another excuse. Instead, he just changes topics. She hides her giggle behind one of her gloves. Even his question couldn't be more obvious.

"Observant! Yep, I box! I enjoy it a lot" She answers. "But I kinda wanted to extend my ability to fight with more than just my fists, sooo I came here!" She said, folding her hands behind her back while looking up him, rolling to her tip toes before back to her soles while she looks at him from outside the ring.

It was a distraction attempt! She's onto him! But it seemed to work, at least sort of. He caught her giggling behind her glove, but that's alright. What girl doesn't appreciate a guy who can make her laugh?

What she tells him gets a curious tilt of his head, however. "Really?," he asks as he leans over the ropes to look down at her. "What do you mean? Kickboxing? Taaaee bo? What I do is professional wrestling. Those gloves would totally be a handicap for ya. You'd wanna ditch'em." He purses his lips in afterthought. "I mean, unless a part of your image is having a hard time grappling. I'd- I'd just recommend not wearing the big ol' mitts."

Mika shakes her head. "Mm-mm. I know it would be easier to grab people without them, but it's still possible at least. I don't want to get rid of them though. They hold special memories for me." She explains. "I'm just trying to see what I can pick up and make myself that much harder to beat. I know there's moves and stuff that I could learn that would benefit my boxing style." She explains, then look up at him. "Oh.. I'm sorry, I didn't introduce myself!" She said, then gave him a polite bow. "I'm Mika. Mika Matsuda."

The more she speaks, the more Blaise's brow furrows. He believes in being kind and he's the last person to present an appeal to authority, but it's crystal clear that he thinks there's something very tweaked with what he's hearing.

"Eeyeah, okay, what? Okay, lemme just- Mika?" He acknowledges her name with a cant of his head. "Blaise," he introduces, but doesn't linger. "I don't think you understand how huge of a handicap you're talkin' about. The only thing that's gonna do you any benefit is strikes. And then it's a question of why even wrestle? If the boxing gloves are important enough to..." He pauses and cringes a little. He's going to sound harsh. He hates sounding harsh. "...enough to screw yourself over in a match, why would you even want to do this? Even strikers in the ring don't wear gloves. Because getting out of submission holds takes fingers! Heck, grabbing onto a rope by a fingertip has saved so many people before! You're talkin' about having a whole.. like.. nubby flipper-glove to have to hook over a rope. Why would you do this?"

Mika's smile starts to fade as after the boy introduces himself and starts to talk. She doesn't say anything, but she's clearly not very appreciative of his words. As he goes on, her thoughts of finding him cute were quickly being replaced by thoughts of thinking he was a jerk.

"I told you. It's important to me. I don't care if it gives me a handicap, it's what I want to do." She stands firmly on the topic, and rests one glove on her hip, frowning at him.
