Messhall Melee - Julia Hiroshi vs Brianna Mendez

[winner3]

Location: The mess hall backstage, for catering at LAW. The staff holds a contest to liven things up!

:Best 2/3 Smother Match. The first wrestler to earn two knockouts via smother hold wins. Winner gets free catering to their home residence.

As bustling and eventful as things have been in an out of LAW, one of the lesser-used facilities experienced a downswing in frequency. On LAW salary, most wrestlers didn't bother with the catering. Not when they could go out and feast in any of the many fine-dining options neighboring a LAW facility - usually for a discount if the restaurant staff were fans. The only wrestlers, male or female, who frequently came by the mess hall were the ones that really wanted to be alone. And it was easy enough, what with maybe 5 or 6 wrestlers there this afternoon in a vast mess hall roughly the size of a gymnasium.

Among them was Brianna Mendez, sitting in a far off corner. She hadn't seen much action after her first match. Management seemed to be avoiding her - other wrestlers as well. She spent another afternoon wondering if one the suits in the back or one of the other girls in the room would track her down to admonish her for collecting a LAW paycheck without really doing anything. Not that Mendez was slacking intentionally. If you're not booked for matches then you're not booked for matches. Not much to be done about that.

Brianna Mendez

As the heavyset heavyweight sat at the lunch table alone, picking at her meal with an annoyed expression on her face, mulling over feelings of frustration in her mind and wishing she had someone to vent to, one of the staffpersons passed by and left a flyer on the table. As Brianna reached for it, they ran away, much to her annoyance. But rather than spend time being upset about that, she found her attention drawn to what was written on the flyer. Today there was an event in the mess hall. To try and attract more wrestlers in the company to congregate there, the staff invited women to wrestle backstage in this very room for a more than modest prize! Winner gets the option of having catering food delivered to their place residence for free, for as long as they stay with the company!

"For free?! Huh, well it's definitely nice. Beats having to come down to this dump and see all these hopeless expressions on people's faces...." She noted, observing that despite the staff's attempts to make things more lively, no one else showed. And the few wrestlers who were there didn't seem particularly crazy about participating. They were all smaller weight classes. Bri hadn't given it a second thought. The Hispanic heavyweight placed both hands on the table. She got up and hailed a waiter with one hand while holding the flyer in the other.

"Hey! Hey you! I'm interested." She shouted to the waitress, who stopped and tried to look away.

"Is something wrong? I can't compete for the free delivery food?" Mendez asked while crossing her arms.

"No ma'am. You can. It's just that...well...since you came, all the other entrants have pulled out..."

"So then I win, right?"

"Well not exactly. I meant to say all the other entrants except Julia Hiroshi."

[Noob]

"Ahhh! Late!" Julia yelped as she sprinted towards the mess hall. Where there was food to be had, there was Julia. Today she had heard about a competition that involved free food for as long as she was with LAW and the bluenette couldn't resist. Julia rounded the corner, almost falling over as she rushed down the hallway. "Wait wait wait!" She yelled as she ran through the doors into the mess hall.

The gymnast was greeted with an unexpectedly quiet sight. She had thought there would be way more people trying to compete for such a glorious prize but she was met with a room of rather sad looking wrestlers. "H...huh? did I come to the wrong place?" The bluenette said out loud, her excited expression soon turning into a sour one. Slowly she scanned the room until she laid her eyes on Brianna who was holding a familiar flyer.

Julia

Suddenly Julia was all smiles again. "Oh ok! Right place...but no people. Why?" She asked out loud as she walked up to Brianna and the wait staff. Once in range she flashed the other wrestler a quick wink. "You also here to kick butt and get free food?" Julia asked. She would slightly rise on her toes to match the other wrestler's height. "Well tooooo bad. I need it more so you're gonna get rekt!" She teased before very lightly elbowing Brianna in the side.

[winner3]

Brianna would have been more than happy to take the free food uncontested. But to her amazement and bewilderment, tiny Julia Hiroshi stepped up, showing more backbone than any of the other regulars in the messhall, going so far as to jab Brianna lightly and boast, saying that the taller, more full-figured girl two weight classes above her was gonna get "rekt". Her playfulness was actually endearing to Mendez. She let out a giggle scoffed before leaning in to give Hiroshi some dismissive head pats while talking her down.

"Heheh, you're cute. Full of spunk. But just for that, I'm not sharing with you after I squash ya, 'kay little girl?" Bri boasted before standing up straight and placing her hands on her hips. The other wrestlers made comical gestures behind the backs of both girls. Many of which were head shaking and "X" forearms to signal that taking Mendez on might not be the best idea, not that any of that would actually deter Julia. If anything, it seemed to be more liable to rile her up, a response that Brianna would appreciate. The Hispanic heavyweight would turn to the staff woman that explained the contest to her to begin with and prompt her.

"So....what are the rules?"

It wouldn't take long for them to explain to both women that the staff had decided on a best of there smothers match right then and there in the mess hall! Both women would be given the chance to head to the bathroom to change into wrestling attire before throwing down and after that anything goes!

[Noob]

Julia puffed out her cheek and let out an annoyed huff as Brianna pat her on the head. "Hey!" Julia yelled. "Just cause you're a bit bigger than me doesn't mean I won't have you passed out on the ground." The gymnast continued. While she was perhaps not the strongest wrestler out there, the bluenette was confident in her ability to down an opponent using more than just brute force. Julia soon flexed her bicep and gave it two quick pats. "These arms are plenty strong!" She bragged. Despite her best efforts to project confidence though it didn't seem many of the onlookers were convinced of her odds of success. It was no matter though. She was ready to prove them wrong.

Excited to be competing for the free food, Julia barely listened to the rules. She heard the win condition and nothing else mattered. "Got it. Yeh. Let's go~" Already ready for a fight, all Julia really had to do was 'dramatically' take off and toss her jacket to the side. The peppy bluenette was left in a dark blue top and a pair of black yoga pants. Not exactly a flashy wrestling outfit but it suited the situation since there wasn't much of an audience today.

Soon Julia began her usual warm ups. As she waited for Brianna to ready herself she would start to stretch out her arms. Finally the gymnast would bend down to touch her toes. "Gimme a sec. Just gotta...stretchhhhhhh." She said before continuing her pre match routine.

[winner3]

Brianna couldn't help but let out a small chuckle when Julia double down on her boasting, insisting that she could win and even rival Mendez in strength despite the difference in weight class. Julia's arms flexed with might that could open pickle jars. But with food on the line and a semi-official match to fight, Mendez tried to stifle her chuckles and take things seriously. Bri could tell the smaller gal wasn't all hot air. But the curvy heavyweight couldn't fathom the idea of Julia being the one to leave her passed out in this bout!

Bri had emerged from the changing room in her wrestling outfit. She wore a serious expression and rolled her shoulders to gusto to show she was ready to go. But her air of seriousness completely evaporated when she saw Julia cast aside her jacket like she was an anime protagonist, all in favor of stretching and warming up. Brianna shook her head in disapproval, but she smiled as she once again tried not to laugh.

"Uh huh, you take your time, Jules." Brianna began as she crossed her arms and looked on with a smile in appreciation of Julia's cuteness. "You seem.... decently flexible."Mendez began, unaware of Julia Hiroshi's gymnast background. Of course, toe touched were hardly indicative of impressive levels of flexibility. But this stretch, along with the yoga pants and tank top wrestling outfits were the first signs that gave Bri an inkling of an idea that getting Julia to tap in a traditional match might not be the best route to go. Thankfully, there were no such concerns in this best of three smother match. After hearing Julia's response, Brianna would begin pacing back and forth waiting for the bluenette to say she was ready to wrestle. Her bare feet pitter-pattered against the hard floors as she seemed to become contemplative.

"Let's see, you're cute and spunky and all that but I've gotta make you go night-night. You want me to smother you out on one of these tables? I'm trying to find a nice, soft surface to let you sleep on but there's not many of those here in the cafeteria." She'd say, trying to rile Julia up just before the officials in the room started the contest off properly. Bri did this in the hopes of goading Julia into coming at her right at the onset of the match and bait her into making a mistake!

[Noob]

It wasn't too long before Julia was done stretching and ready to do some real fighting. The gymnast stood back up straight and raised her arms. "That's Jule-E-Ah!" The bluenette corrected. "As in who you're gonna be begging to let ya go when you start tapping!" She said. While she was trying to make a serious threat she came off about as intimidating as a small puppy. Seeing how Brianna was unphased she figured it was better to let her actions do the talking since clearly her words weren't getting through to her opponent.

The gymnast would lightly bounce up and down on her feet, waiting as patiently as she could for the match to start. "Ugh don't count me out yet! You haven't even seen what I can do!" The bluenette whined. She was visibly irked by the fact that her opponent was already just brushing her off. That was more than enough motivation for the lightweight to kick some big butt.

Soon one of the officials would get between the two woman. After nodding to both of them and explaining the rules they would back away and signal for the women to go right at it. Almost immediately Julia charged forwards. She knew she wouldn't be overpowering her foe so she would try to go for hitting her with a quick surprise. Julia lunged forward and would try to go for Brianna's legs in an attempt to get her right down to the ground. She didn't care how strong her foe was, if she was able to catch them in a good hold on the ground it would be useless.

[winner3]

Having stumbled upon what looked to be a fun match and an opportunity for free food, Brianna was looking a lot less somber than she had been before. Seeing Julia go off and ham up her attempts at coming across like a big bad even elicited a chuckle out of Mendez. Staff and wrestlers looked on as the two faced off. Of course, many rallied behind Hiroshi. There was charisma to match her spunky attitude, even if much of it came across as silly bravado. Bri put her hands on her hips as the officials explained the rules. Both girls had wrestled often before. They knew that this part was little more than formality. Yet, once things began Mendez and the folks viewing the match I. The cafeteria would find it all too obvious that Julia wasn't listening very intently.

"Oh I'll show you what you can do. You can be my new seat cushion is what you can do." The tanned heavyset heavyweight taunted as she loosened up just before things got started. The lunch ladies rang the lunch bell to signal the start of the match. And the moment they did, Julia came in running! Bri kept her arms high in anticipation of a dropkick. But Hiroshi mixed it up and went low, sweeping at both of the barefoot girl's legs and throwing her off her balance! Mendez grit her teeth and let out "Grrr..." in frustration as she dropped to a kneeling position. She'd reach out and Julia and attempt to push her away with one hand so that she could make some space and get back to a vertical base! It wasn't obvious what move Julia was going for from the onset but it was more than apparent that she meant business! Fists and kicks seem to fill up the menu as these two got started in this lunchroom brawl of a smother match and as Julia set out to prove that she was a force to be reckoned with despite the vast weight difference!

[Noob]

The bluenette had perhaps been a bit too hyped out for the match for her own good. It seemed to do her pretty well though, catching her opponent by surprise with a quick charge. Of course some of the onlookers were excited to see Julia almost bring her larger opponent down. While she didn't want to admit it, it was clear she was the underdog in this match. If she wanted all the free food she could eat though the gymnast would have to find a way to overcome that fact.

Julia hadn't had much planned from the get go. But she had managed to take her larger foe down to her knees. That was definitely a start. From there she would try and lock up with Brianna and hopefully push her onto her back quite swiftly. That didn't seem to be the case though and as soon as Julia moved in she felt her opponent reaching out to push her back. "Hey! No ya don't. I'm gonna kick your butt remember?" The bluenette stated as if the outcome of the match was already all planned out. She'd show Brianna who was going to be the seat cushion of the two. If she could use what little weight she had to push her foe down, she would just have to straddle her foe and put her new plan into motion.

[winner3]

The way Julia moved, it was clear she had a plan to set in motion. Her energy and quickness earned her points with the small crowd in the cafeteria. Everyone loved a good underdog story. And what better way to portray one than a wrestling match of David vs Goliath? Of course, Brianna was the only one annoyed with Hiroshi's tenacity! She thrust forward with an open palm, looking to push Julia back hard with authority so that she'd get the space and breathing room she needed to rise back up! Being a heavyset heavyweight, the thicker gal could throw girls Julia's size around with ease! The challenge was simply getting her hands on them!

"Wha?!" Mendez uttered in surprise as she was immediately reminded of that hurdle! Julia had seemed to slip past her grasp! Instead of forcing the bluenette back, her foe rushed her and attempted to force her down to the ground to straddle her! In a rare occurrence, things went Hiroshi's way and she managed to get the upper hand! Brianna would look up in surprise as her foe managed to get on top of her! Anticipation rose as folks looked to see exactly how Julia was planning to clutch out even a single fall, let alone two in this best of three smother match!

[Noob]

Taking a quick second to catch her breath, Julia would look down at the other wrestler. "Hah! Got ya you big...umm...GOT YA!" Julia yelled between a few deep breaths. It was clear thinking up clever insults was not the bluenette's forte. She wasn't about to give Brianna time to point that out though. What she was good at though was dealing with a downed foe. The lightweight already had a plan to deal with her larger opponent. She would quickly try to wrap her legs around Brianna's neck and squeeze her foe tight. Sure it wasn't a smother, but she hoped it would still be effective.

Of course the small crowd would shout a few words of encouragement to Julia. Everyone loved an underdog story. Ever confident the lightweight would flash then a quick peace sign before sticking her tongue out at her 'Goliath'. The gymnast wasn't quite done yet. While she was perfectly fine trying to just choke her opponent with her toned thighs, that wasn't the goal of today's match. And so to keep on theme she would reach forward for the back of Brianna's head to pull them face first between her legs. Was she going for too quick a finish? Definitely. But since Brianna had size and strength on her side, Julia had to try and find a way to quickly wear her foe down.
