Cat Clash - Aziza & Ocelot Rey

[ADarlingDucky]

“And just… one… more…” A lone voice rang out within the mostly empty gymnasium, the usually hustling and bustling area of LAW’s sprawling arena finding itself mostly devoid of anyone in it on this particular night. Of course, none of that bothered the woman who had just spoken out loud, taking full advantage of the large and now spacious area for a workout that allowed her to use all the space she liked! That woman, who was currently re-racking the weights she had just been using for a set of squats, before she’d swing her hands down and clap them against her rear end. For the “Dancing Panther” Aziza, the sign of a well-done workout!

“Whew! Been a long time since I’ve gotten a burn that good!” The masked woman signed, before bouncing up and down slightly, her legs shifting as she landed in a different position each time, in something of an impromptu dance to shake any tiredness out of her legs. After planting herself and turning her head ever so slightly, a mischievous grin began to form as she examined the gymnasium, thoughts of what she’d be doing next going through her head.

“Hmmmm… so many options… but I mean, why not do something practical?” The panther mused, as her eyes eventually settled on the practice ring that occupied a large section on its own, standing unused and currently beckoning to her via its presence in the gym! Aziza didn’t hate the more standard workouts, but something that allowed her to actually utilize the ring was always the sweeter option to the masked woman! Stepping over to the ring, Aziza would climb inside, tumbling over the top rope to do so, before popping up, and beginning to run the ropes, bouncing between them as she put her body through the familiar motions!

“Aaaaah! That’s the stuff!” She’d smirk, before beginning to incorporate some tumbles in between her trips to the ropes, before introducing flips, cartwheels, and anything else she saw fit to do, letting her acrobatic ability be expressed freely! Of course, all the while, she was unaware that at a certain point, she was no longer the only person within the gym, as someone else had entered during the midst of her workout!

"Ahem"

The sound of a man clearing his throat echoed through the empty room, the only sound other than Aziza running around and exerting herself. The sound came from outside the ring. Between it and the exit...

stood a masked, shirtless man

Ocelot Rey had been invited to join the LAW roster not too long ago. Sure, it took some time to finally get settled at his new place near the arena, but he was finally here. The place where legends are made. He had a look around the place before finding the gym. Seeing it empty and barren, he thought it'd be a good idea to get in a good workout before anyone came by. But life had other plans.

Turns out that someone else was already there. So when he came back dressed in his gear, the first thing he saw was her, running around in the ring and bouncing off the ropes.

"Yo! You don't mind if I get a workout here too right? Don't want to throw off your flow or anything."

[ADarlingDucky]

Aziza was in the midst of another tumble through the empty ring when all of the sudden, a voice cut straight through the otherwise silent gymnasium, not even a sentence but a brief exhale. The masked wrestler finished her tumble and popped up to her feet, wheeling around towards the source of the noise, finding it to be another masked wrestler, much like herself, standing near the ring! With her running the ropes, Aziza hadn’t heard his entry, or even his approach, but now she’d find him asking her if she had any issue joining her in the ring.

“Well, not as long as you don’t mind keeping up with yours truly! Just let it be known, I won’t be slowing down any if you can’t!” Aziza’s voice, bubbly and teasing, would call out in response to the masked man’s question, as she flashed a wink at him, making her response that much more teasing. The panther, already paused, decided to take a moment to relax as she gave the new wrestler some time to climb inside the ring with her, as she leaned up against the ropes, her eyes taking a moment to run up and down the length of his body!

He was thick, a wide body with plenty of musculature, and a tangle of curly black hair exposed out of the back of his mask, the design being that of a cat, in very similar fashion to Aziza, though his remembered a more traditional black cat instead of her white attire. What she also realized once he actually entered the ring is that despite being wider and likely heavier, Aziza was taller than him, having at least an inch or two on the masked man, something that caused a very minor pull upwards at the corners of her lips.

“You don’t look very familiar… new to LAW?” Aziza asked coolly, crossing her arms and tilting her head towards the unknown wrestler, probing gently for some information. Of course, she’d slowly begin to walk back and forth between the ropes once more, keeping her eyes on him as she did a cartwheel on the way, clearly showing off her athleticism as she waited for his reply!

[KetZal]

The man smiled as the white clad cat agreed to let him join, as long as he could keep up that is. A request that he answered to by running to the corner and using each turnbuckle as a step before leaping off with a backflip.

"Trust me, I can keep up." He answered with a wink and a shit-eating grin.

After that little bit of showboating, Rey began stretching against the corner. He let the girl in the white cat mask look all she liked. He didn't mind it at all. And then she asked a question he should have been expecting.

"That obvious?" He asked with a slight air of humor as he stretched in the ring. "A friend of mine put in a good word, I just joined. The name's Rey, Ocelot Rey." He stretched out his hand to shake hers, and it was then that he got a better look at her.

She's on the slimmer side, which makes sense with all the bouncing around and acrobatics she was pulling off. But that wasn't it, she was also taller than him. Not that it bothered him at all, a lot of girls were taller than him. Especially in this business. Another thing he noticed, she's definitely an attention seeker. At the very least she looks the part. She's really going all out with the cat theme, literal bells and not so literal whistles. There's the stark white that pops out and contrasts against her ebony skin, the fluff of her fur, the aforementioned golden bells that match the golden brown of her eyes, and the paws. Her mask, her leotard, and Rey could bet that the soles of those paw shaped boots had paw prints on them. It was kinda cute, a bit on the autistic side, but still cute.

"You got a name? Or should I call you White Cat?"

[ADarlingDucky]

With Ocelot Rey joining her inside of the practice ring, Aziza would get an answer to her question as he rushed towards the corner, stepping up the turnbuckles before flipping off of them, landing with a wink and a smirk in her direction. He certainly had the physicality necessary to pull of some acrobatic stunts like that, and Aziza could feel a small smile cross her face in spite of herself, with the masked man beginning to stretch in the corner, as before stepping forwards and extending a hand to her, offering an introduction. Aziza would reach out and take hold of his hand, giving it a firm shake before she would step back and cross her arms, fixing Ocelot with a wry smile as she met his eyes, thinking before responding!

"I'm Aziza. And it's Dancing Panther, not White Cat." She gave his hand a firm shake, before she would let it go, stepping towards him ever so slightly, bringing the two closer together as she flashed him a devious grin.

"Well, if you feel comfortable keeping up, we could always do a little sparring? It'd probably be more exciting than just working out next to one another." Aziza side, cocking her head to the side and raising an eyebrow. The offer hung in the air as she waited to resume training, curious to see if the confident man was only here to try and put on a show when it came to training alone, or if he'd back up all that confidence he expressed earlier!

[KetZal]

Her shake was firm, and she even pulled herself in close, but Rey wasn't bothered. If he was intimidated, he didn't show it. Instead he matched her handshake's firmness and held her hand tightly, she wasn't letting go.

"You want to spar? Sure you can keep up with me Aziza?" He taunted with a grin, before pulling her even closer. "I may be new here, but I know a few ways how to make a cat meow..." He leaned into her ear. "Or purr...

And with that he let go, giving her a gentle shove to open the space again.
