A Hardcore Investment

[Fairy Dragon]

Kyoko had been looking for someone like this for a long time, she almost reminded her of someone else but had the right attitude about wrestling unlike that person in her head. From what she saw this Cecilia Northman had everything one could look for in a fighter, the right mindset of not caring about the fans and focusing on the match, the will to do whatever it took and she did it without needing to resort to cheap tactics. Kyoko had to meet her and see what she thought up close.

Marching down the hallway to where she was told this big blonde was Kyoko found a room with her name on it, she didn't waste time knocking on the door and bringing her hands to her hips. "Is this Cecilia Northman's room? I have something I need to say to you." Kyoko said waiting to see if she was at the right place or if she would even answer.

[Devastated]

Cecilia was still wearing her wrestling attire, having just finished off a match not too long ago. She felt a little bit sore but all in all she was riding the high of another win, it always felt good. No matter how you looked at, winning felt good. It didn't matter how, or why as long as it was a satisfying fight then winning always felt good to her. All that was left to was taking a shower and changing into her street clothes...though as she was about to start removing her clothing.

Only to hear a voice through the door, Cecilia would tilt her head to the door and then turn to walk towards it. Yanking the door open Cecilia would place her arm against the doorframe and practically lean against it as she stood in the doorway. She eyed the woman who had addressed her for a second or two, scanning her frame with those blood red eyes of hers.

" Depends on who's asking and why. Though if you're looking for a fight I'm more than willing to bash your head into a locker or two." Cecilia responded with a rather cruel smirk on her face.

Half a minute passed before the door opened bringing Kyoko face to face with the blonde fighter, Kyoko had seen many like her and yet at the same time the aura she had around her was different. Clearly not someone who wanted to run into on a bad day, she was taller then her and her body looked chiseled, though the fact she was sweating probably helped make that obvious. The look she gave her would have unsettled most people and admittedly Kyoko could tell that it was no facade if she pissed her off she would try to follow through on that claim without thinking even after going through a match.

"You don't have anything to worry about, I'm not looking for a fight today. In fact if this goes well we won't have to fight at all unless you really want one. My name is Kyoko Akan, you may or may not have heard of me. I just wanted to talk" Kyoko said making sure she looked at Cecilia in the eyes and that she was standing firm. Nothing that would make her look like she was scared because that would most likely make the blonde think less of her.

[Devastated]

Cecilia watched the purple haired girl for a moment, looking to see what kind of answer she would give. Though when she mentioned she wasn't looking for a fight, Cecilia would drop her smirk a bit, and narrow her eyes just slightly. Her interest sort of dropped at that notion, but she would listen all the same.

Shrugging her shoulders as the woman stood firm, and at least talked about the prospect of fighting. " Akan?...Hrm, I think I remember that name at least." Cecilia let out as she would move away from the doorframe. " No sense in standing in the doorway." Letting Kyoko into the locker room, Cecilia would move over to grab her towel and start patting herself down a bit. " So, what's up?" Cecilia let out, seeming sort of disinterested.

[Fairy Dragon]

It was clear her opening idea didn't really matter to Cecilia too much, so she was simple when it came to her desires at least and a fight was on her short list of interests. Kyoko was let in but it seemed more because the blonde didn't want to see rude instead of actually liking what she might have to say, Kyoko would need to do a good job if she didn't want to be laughed out of the room. She walked towards the center while Cecilia got a towel and stood in the center to make sure she didn't sit on anything important.

"Yes I'm sure you heard of me in some way. Or someone in my family, here I'm also known as the Belly Queen if that rings any bells." Kyoko added, thinking that might do something for her but either way she wouldn't let that statement sit too long before she kept going. "Reason I'm here is because I saw you fight, and was impressed with how well you work. I like that, but honestly getting far here is more about 'likability' people like us who can kick ass don't get much but scraps unless we get lucky. I'm trying to fix that while keeping those who rely on numbers to get ahead off my back, and Id like to see if we can have an alliance of sorts as well. Not in the way where I'll help you win matches, but I'll be making sure to help you get the kind of fights you want and make sure no one ruins them for you kind of deal." Kyoko said making her point clear. She didn't think being subtle would work with Cecilia so just going for her point was the best.

[Devastated]

Cecilia would rub off a bit of sweat from her neck with the towel she had taken up in her hand. She would start to pat herself down a bit and make sure to wipe off any seriously perspired areas on her body. As she was doing so she nodded her head a little and looked on at Kyoko. She did recognize the title of Belly Queen. Having seen a few match card and murmurs among the staff...though Akan was the name that stuck out the most, and she wasn't really sure why at the moment.

Next she would listen to the statement that Kyoko had to make Cecilia would listen on. Waiting to see exactly what it was, from the sounds of it...it was almost like an ad read or an infomercial. She would raise her eyebrow when Kyoko was done talking and throw her towel onto the bench, folding her arms underneath her impressive chest.

"So you want me to help you out in case you get jumped or people gang up on you? In exchange you will get me better matches and help me get ahead?" Cecilia said as she tilted her head a bit. Trying to clear up exactly what she would get out of it and what would be expected of her. Though for the moment she was somewhat interested but that also depended on if she had to be affiliated to something.

[Fairy Dragon]

She had to admit that this was probably the oddest thing to ever come out of her mouth, its no wonder people hired speakers for shit like this because Kyoko felt like this was so corny coming from her. Still she felt it was the only way it would come off as genuine since Cecilia didn't seem the type to listen to some suit she hired, but a fellow fighter who could at least show her she meant business if crossed. Especially a fellow fighter that had some history in this game, while she had never met Cecilia before, she was far from the only person in her family she had heard of and like her's it was filled with badasses. For her part Cecilia seemed to get the gist of it in go so at least she wouldn't need to repeat herself.

"More or less, We help each other and our combined influence gets us all the clout we deserve. If you know who I am, you know I've moved through some tough competition and can do some damage if necessary. But the fact that I have done damage has people upstairs a little peeved at me, and I saw what you do out there so trust me when I say those same people are looking at you the exact same way and will try to keep you out of the good stuff." Kyoko said, this time less like an ad and more like something she felt personal about. "But why should we have to follow their rules just because we do things our own way right? Just because we don't kiss the right asses doesn't mean we should be punished for it when we are that damn good. Or because some bitch with more friends decides she wants to break my leg to get an easy advantage before a big match, trust me both have happened to people here." Kyoko said confidently. Sadly after a second she felt like her confidence in her pitch was fading so while she thought she had Cecilia at least interested she spoke again. "So are you in? Or at least will you consider it?" Kyoko asked, figuring it might be good to give her time to think so she didn't feel jumped by the question.

[Devastated]

Cecilia didn't really know what to make out of this thing. Sure getting approached and offered a place in a group had a certain charm to it. However, there was a lot of things to consider. Would she be just one of the masses? That wasn't something she was very keen on. No, the Hardcore Queen was in some ways a ego maniac. It was all about herself and her accomplishments.

Rolling her eyes a bit at the talk that Kyoko was throwing her way now. Cecilia would wait until she was finished...and then step up off of her bench. Walking up to Kyoko Akan so they were face to face. She would reach up with her hand and cup Kyoko's chin, pressing her thumb into one cheek and her fingers into the other. Leaning Kyoko's head up a little as she did. Those red eyes of the blonde would glare into Kyoko's eyes.

" I'm not convinced anyone in this group is of my caliber. You I've at least heard off....but the rest could just be rabble who'd drag me down." Cecilia said smugly, as she would shove Kyoko's face away. " You ask if I'm interested. Prove that you're worthy and maybe I'll consider it."

[Fairy Dragon]

Kyoko did her best to explain her offer but the way the blonde was looking at her she wasn't sure if she was for it or against it. The problem with trying to get girls like Cecilia on board was that they always had something unpredictable about them. She thought that her desire as a competitor would be enough and in a way it was because when Cecilia finally for off the bench she got as close as possible without bumping into her and pulled her head up so that they couldn't look away from each other before telling her Abdominion wasn't up to her level, or at least she had no proof it would be any good for her. The idea that she had to prove anything to anyone ticked Kyoko off but she already made the offer, and she knew that Cecilia was never going to be a cheap get.

"So you want a fight? With who me or someone in my group? I can arrange any of it, just name the time and place." Kyoko said bringing her head closer and making sure to look the blonde straight in the eyes as she spoke. "Or if you want to fight right here I can do that too. I didn't come here for one but I already know to expect to throw down anytime in this place." Kyoko said, wanting Cecilia to understand who she was dealing with.

[Devastated]

Cecilia gave her challenge to Kyoko as she mostly wanted to see if Kyoko would be a bit of a hot-head and decide to throw down. Or if she was going to play it calm. It turned out that Kyoko was doing a little bit of both, as she would take Cecilia's words seriously. Hearing Kyoko offer herself or someone in her group did peak her interest.

" Well...that depends who's the toughest in the group?" Cecilia asked as she looked Kyoko straight in the eyes. " If its you then why don't we throw down a little." The Hardcore Queen said with a toothy grin as she would take a step forward. Practically pressing her fit and powerful frame against the Belly Queen's frame.
