Lexy's Lexinomicon: Arlise Christaens

[winner3]

A good interviewer and LAW journalist always gets her scoop! And to Lexy Alan, doing so meant approaching talent in the wrestling industry wherever she could manage. From the big name at LAW to prospective wrestlers and trainers that were hoping to sign. This perky, cutesy part-timer made sure she networked to get in touch with people in the industry to keep the public's finger on the pulse of the goings-on at LAW! And today's adventure took her to the residence of one Arlise Christaens! A promising up-and-comer who was looking to return to the LAW ring after spending some time away. When Lexy reached out to the returning red-headed wrestler, she offered to interview Christaens in her own home. An offer Lexy was delighted to hear was accepted!

"Phew! I've finally made it! Arlise's house...it's quite magnificent." Lexy would state as she arrived at the front door.

She'd brush off the dress she had worn for just the occasion. It was a cute and quaint outfit. A dress that was modest and charming, but not overly formal or business-y. Lexy has been feeling particularly confident today about this opportunity. Underneath the dress, she wore a set of sheer/see-through green lingerie. She wore it solely to help herself feel even cuter. Lexy had hoped that the dress and the sweater over it would help make a good first impression with Arlise and help her come across as the professional that she was.

"Okay okay. I can marvel at the makings of this house once it's all over. For now, we're all business!" Lexy bent her arm and balled her fist in confidence! The interviewer rang the doorbell!

When she got an answer, Lexy would hold up a LAW business card in one hand and a green bag that matched her hair in the other, hoping that Arlise would see the items through the peephole or camera if the door was equipped with either.

"Hello~" Alan began melodically and cutely.

"Arlise? It's Lexy! Lexy Alan! Here to meet with you at the appointed time, as we discussed! I've brought my laptop! We can livestream our interview if you're still up to it! Let's make sure LAW wrestlers and fans all over know or your triumphant return to the ring!" Lexy would smile genuinely, seemingly eager to meet Arlise and get things started when the redhead was ready!

Arlise Christiaens heard the clock ring in the quarter before the turn of the hour, and she realized just how long she had spent getting ready for her interview. Did that make it... two full hours now?

Lise reeled back from the mirror where she had been blotting at her lipstick, rested a hand on her hip, and shook her head at herself. She thought she had overcome this obsession of hers about looking as close to perfect as possible to make such great impressions... and to feel great about herself. After all her effort to get her priorities in line, still the itch struck her to obsess over her appearance, and today, Lise had surrendered to it - completely. Lexy Alan, apparent LAW interviewer extraordinaire, would hopefully appreciate her effort. The people on her livestream would, surely. Lise granted her formally dressed self one last look and pose in the mirror before she trotted back to the hallway toward the living room to the sound of her clicking heels.

Outfit

After all her initial struggles, Lise had gone home for a couple of months - mostly to make sure her mother, who had never possessed much of any money in her life, knew how to utilize the money Lise had sent her. The woman appeared to have done a fine job of it, with a house on a nicer side of town and someone around the house to help her with chores. Satisfied, Lise had headed back - refreshed and motivated.

So, with that new attitude, she had agreed to Lexy's offer for a return interview. Lise checked the time on the wall and rubbed her hands together when she stepped into the living room - furnished nicely, with her older style couch and furnishings (all from her grandmother) spread around the room... plus the wrestling mat she had never gotten off the floors since her last in-home session perched in front of the couch. Titania winced and started to dart over to fetch them...

Then she heard the bell ring, and she hesitated, almost sliding down on her heels when she did. "Oh poop," she muttered to herself, when the voice on the other side of the door revealed that it belonged to Lexy.

Lise stared at the mats another few seconds with a cringe before she decided that perhaps her having mats down in her apartment would make her look more... dedicated to her craft. Yes, that was the one. Rolling her eyes to herself, she spun to the door and called back to Lexy, who had only just stopped speaking.

She rushed over, unlocked the door, and swung it open, finding the cutest looking - and cutest dressed - interviewer she had laid eyes on waiting there at the door for her. The touch of nerves that washed over her cooled slightly to see the woman's disarming looks, and Lise stepped aside with a smile of her own to let Lexy into the room. "Yes, and even a little early! Nice to meet you." She stuck her hand out to Lexy as she passed to enter, and with the other she gestured to the room. "I am still good with the livestream, yes!" She imagined her outfit probably gave that fact away, didn't it? "You can set it up wherever you want and however you want, I'm not picky."

The time and effort that Arlise had put into preparing herself for this interview certainly showed! Just like her house and the rest of her estate, Arlise's appearance impressed LAW's premiere interviewer when the redhead opened the door!

Lexy went starry-eyed upon seeing the Belgian beauty! Everything from her makeup to her flashy outfit oozed this pristine air of perfection and poise! When the door swung open, the green-haired girl stood there for a moment defenseless with a look on her face that could only be compared to that of a starstruck fan! She had no inkling of the idea that Christaens might be even as remotely taken with her as she was with the beautiful redhead! Even as Lise stepped to the side, Lexy waited there just a second too long to take in the sight of her interview guest today!

"Oh! Sorry!" Lexy would apologize as she hurriedly pranced into house Christaens with her laptop and bag still in each hand!

"I was just so overwhelmed! Everything about you is just so perfect! Do you do your own makeup? You must have a stylist of some sort! Oh! And that blouse and skirt! Arlise, you're so fetching!" Alan would motion to Arlise. A slight blush began to form on her face.

"Oh, but I'm getting ahead of myself! Of course, I'll get set up right away! This is a huge interview! The rest of the pro wrestling world must know the status and trajectory of the lovely Arlise Christaens! I'll make sure if it!" Lexy would catch herself and respond to her host! She balled both her fists cutely and formed a determined expression and body language that contrasted her own cute little outfit! Lexy would hurry into the living room. She'd set her laptop on a nightstand next to one of the couches in the living room. The smaller woman would take a seat and remove her brown ballet shoes. It only took her a moment to get all set up.

"There we go! We're not live yet! We'll start the stream when you're fully ready! I must say, your house and your estate are almost as impressive as you are, Arlise! I mean it!" Lexy would blush.

"Don't think these mats went unnoticed! You must be quite dedicated to your craft! I'm sure you've been training for your return to the LAW ring for some time! I almost shudder to think of the poor souls you've been working over on these mats! Heheheheh." Lexy would giggle. Unbeknownst to her, those would eventually prove to be quite ironic.

"Give me the go-ahead when you're all ready! Take your time. I'll be sitting here taking in the beauty of this lovely home of yours and the beauty of the woman that owns it!" Alan would finish with a wide smile on her face. She'd place both hands on her lap and hum to herself cutely as she took in her surroundings. When Arlise had gotten ready and given the okay, Lexy would turn to her laptop and push a button to begin streaming.

"Okay, you got it!" Lexy would answer before poking her touchpad to click a button on her screen!

"Hello LAW universe! Today your Ace Interviewer Lexy Alan sits down with the beloved Belgian Beauty of the wrestling industry! LAW's own Arliiiiise Christaens!!!!" Lexy would motion towards Arlise.

"Now, I know this is likely your first LAW interview Arlise, but have no fear! We'll start off with a few softball questions and before long, we'll have the whole world practically foaming at the mouth to see your return to the mats!" Lexy would assure her guest!

"So to start off with, why don't we go over the basic information! Why don't you tell us a little about yourself and what you've been up to in recent months! Is there anything you'd like your many fans to know about where their favorite wrestler has been and what she's been up to?"

Arlise did not have a wealth of experience with interviewers, but she started to understand that they must have enjoyed speaking. Logically, that made sense.

Between stunned and amused, she watched Lexy skitter around the room and listened to her complimentary words. Thinking the other woman could have carried on without any responses, the Belgian, never known for long-windedness herself, almost forgot to answer the actual questions present in Lexy's chatter. She gently followed her while she responded to them all in kind. "I do... I learned with online videos... Thank you.... Oh, you are being too kind to me. I didn't... Thank you, most of the furniture arrived from... Heh, yes, I have had some apartment matches off the record..." By the time she had gathered enough thoughts to address everything Lexy had asked her, the other woman had already prepped for the interview and signaled to the redhead that they could start, anytime. Arlise, having found herself wandering idly in front of the greenette to... no real purpose.

She blinked, and never one to be caught on the back foot, the Belgian smoothly slid into place beside Lexy on the couch and crossed her legs to look presentable. She raised her hand before fully settling in, looking down at her outfit one last time. "One moment... one..." Her voice trailed off as she pulled a strand of her red hair off of her tights and adjusted the sleeves of her shirt. Then, she sat ready, posing with her best side on display and her hair beautifully framing her face as if she had say in front of an interview camera hundreds upon hundreds of times - and she didn't even watch much TV.

The woman transitioned from "rapid conversationalist" to "interviewer" with ease, and with that ease, Arlise settled in, too. She nodded gracefully at the camera but let the host finish her introduction, only further reacting once Lexy posed her question. She had to keep her focus to keep up with the dialogue in this one, and she gathered her response before voicing it, though she tried not to look anything resembling hesitant. She again cursed her brain for its on-again, off-again warm relationship with English.

"First, thank you for the kindness. What I have been doing... you may know from your own experience that joining LAW is something like getting swept up in a flood. A lot happens in a very small amount of time, and at the same time, you train and you wrestle and your body starts to ask you for some relief. It becomes exhausting." All true, though she could add her mind to that need for relief, too. "I felt more on track once I won my last match, and I decided to make use of it - I could go home for a small break to visit my mother with a clear mind and come back my best self."
