Oscar hummed a tune as he drove on towards April's facility, glancing over to his first ever passenger in his big ass van- Moria Kilgannon. Plans had been made after the two and Oscar's girlfriend, Katrina Kelly, were made during a fun night out. Plans to hold a mock triangle match at the facility with Moria as a guest. By this point, Oscar had driven the two heavyweights outside of the city and headed along a dirt road.
"Alright, we should be coming up to the place soon. Got any last-minute questions before we arrive, Moria?"
The young lion looked and sounded quite chipper with excitement as he handled the wheel of the van.
Spoiler
Moira sat in the passenger seat taking in the sights. When Oscar asked her if she had any questions, she had a million. But she started with the basic three.
“So, I have many questions, but I’ll start with three. First, what’s this April Starlady like? Second, what’s the deal with this training facility? And third, we know each other already, but what’s wrestling Katrina like… in the ring?” she giggled.
Oscar pursed his lips as he thought of answers to the three questions.
"First, April's a very motherly and friendly person. She's a sweet, kind lady who's happy to lend a hand to people no matter what. Heck- Katrina tells me she took a homeless lady off the street and gave her clothes and food just because Katrina made friends with her. There's this... elegant air about her too. She's very ladylike with how she talks"
"Second, the training facility is privately owned by April. She's like... crazy rich and had the place built on her mansion grounds, hence why we're heading outside of the city. It's got so many things that I've been dying to try like a sauna, jacuzzi, steam room, yoga room, rock climbing spot, and these high-tech grappling robots that display how much force and damage you do with the moves you use on them. Not to mention all of the state-of-the-art gym equipment there, all open twenty-four hours a day! Definitely one of my favorite places to train. In an official LAW gym, you have better luck at meeting friends and getting to know others but here? You can get a LOT of training done"
"Lastly, Katrina is... well, fast. She knows her ninja stuff, so she's very fast on her feet and had no trouble running circles around me when we had our first meeting. Outmanuvering people is something I think she's quite good at on top of aerial assaults. She has some mean lower body strength too- like when she dropkicked that Mandy lady out of the ring. The biggest fact of all though... is that she can be a big ol' goofball in the ring sometimes! It's totally harmless though- just stuff to entertain the crowd and get a laugh or two. The best memory I had was when she pretended a big monologue being sent her way was affecting her like a devastating move. Katrina just laid down on the mat and crossed her eyes. Hehe... I think that was the hardest I've ever laughed at something in my life"
Oscar chuckled at the memory as he finished answering the questions, a large gate would start to come into view and behind it was a winding pathway splitting off to two buildings: A big, regal mansion to the right path and a large black facility sitting a ways away to the left. There was space to park Oscar's van outside the gate, so that's what he did.
"Here we are! I just need a sec to get the phone set and then we can head in"

“Oh wow that’s fascinating! She sounds so mysterious. Like a wrestling Professor X! But probably hotter. How’d she come to afford a mansion out here, if I may ask? Also I’m looking forward to being in the ring with Katrina. Will have to remember to watch out for her craftiness! Though in the heat of the moment, I’m afraid I’ll be so focused on besting ye that I’ll forget about her.” She laughed. “Ye really did get lucky with her. I can’t say I’ve had good luck in dating in my local scene.”
"I have no idea... she said something about spy stuff but it sounds really sensitive. Like- I don't even know if she's joking or not"
Oscar shrugged as he parked the car and got his phone ready, setting up a special app on his phone before looking up at Moria's mention of dating trouble.
"Aw, thank you! Y'know what? Maybe that'll change! You're strong, fun, and platonically speaking- pretty! I'm sure you'll find a special somebody here at LAW"
Oscar smiled as he got out of the van.
"Alright- just need to place this here and..."
Oscar would walk over to the gate and tap the phone on the scanner, making the gate open up!
"... there! Alright, ladies first. Should be the building on the left there"
“Awww thank ye. You’re very sweet.” Moira beamed. The part of her that crushes on Oscar panged briefly. “Oooo a spy! So our very own April Bond! He he he! Fancy place. I hope she’s as kind and patient as ye describe. Because I’ve been known to test people’s patience. Is she watching us walk in from a top floor window while drinking expensive red wine? And these robots you mentioned… can I bearhug them???”
"Might be a spy. I dunno and I'm worried asking will put me on a watch list or something"
Oscar snickered. Was he being serious? Who knows.
"I'm not sure if she's in or not... but yes! You can totally bearhug the robots. They're even poseable! The first time I saw it being done Katrina positioned it so it was bearhugging her in order to train on escaping them. And don't worry- I'm sure April will show patience. You haven't tested my patience for what it's worth"
He'd lead Moria down the path to the facility doors where he would again use his phone to unlock the door, opening it for Moria.
"I'm not sure if Katrina is here yet- but the ring is just straight on ahead. There should be some chairs for us to chill in while we wait"
Moira looked around like a kid in a candy shop. “This is… on the complete opposite end of the spectrum from me boxing gym growing up. Ohhh look at all the types of tea they have. THEY HAVE A FROZEN YOGURT MACHINE. WITH ALL THE FRUITS. I guess they want to tempt ye. Or reward you after besting each other up,” she laughed. “Now I’ll show ye how to make a proper pot, Oscar.” She started brewing tea for the two of them to have while they waited for Katrina.
Katrina entered into the facility, noticing Oscar and Moira sitting in the lounge area as she wore her black two piece bikini and blue sweater tied around her waist and wore black calf high boots with the blue letters and the letter K in blue. She had a duffle bag over her shoulder as she was holding her cell phone with kitty ears for a phone case as she dropped her duffle bag to the ground and walked over and gave Moira a hug from behind and walked over to hug Oscar from behind as well while they were sitting and gave him a big smooch on the cheek. "Hey guys, sorry I'm late. She mentioned as she sat cross legged beside them as set her phone down in front of her. "I've been busy setting up a few things, also Oscar, Tina's going to be showing up later to watch us wrestle. She's even got some news for you that I think you are going to enjoy."
She then looked to Moira, "As for you, I was able to chat with April and while she's not home at the estate today she did agree to wrestle you in order for you to gain permanent access to this facility, so she's set up a televised match for you next week, so make sure your schedule is free around that time frame." She mentioned with a grin.
She then sighed and looked between Oscar and Moira, "My friend Rylie is having a difficult time trying to find a trainer to help her out within the Lion's Program, do either of you know someone who can take her in? Currently Eleanor Gray is booked and Rita Brisefer is training people specifically to make them weapons as a matter of revenge, she said? I don't know, but it was something out of her comfort zone."
