Grabbing a drink with a lioness and a ninja (For ScylliasExoter and SimplyWoo)

[ScylliasExoter]

”Oooh so Tina was other other hugger who beat you? And helped set you two up??? You’re right I should pinch you to make sure it’s real. Sounds like a story someone would write,” she laughed and pinched Oscar’s arm. I’m getting us a round of dumplings. Giioza, right?” Moira put in their order and then asked, “”Well I really enjoyed training with you. I know I’m strong but there’s always room for improvement. I’d love to do some more matches with either of you. Hell, Katrina, you can experience a Moira hug after all,” she laughed.

[SimplyWoo]

"Ooo, gyoza yes, that sounds great." She then blushed as she grinned at Oscar and stretched over to hook an arm around his neck. "I assure you, you're not dreaming. Things have been great since you came into my life Oscar and I'm so glad you did." She mentioned as she unhooked her hand from his neck to rub his back as she then looked at Moira with interest. "I would love to try to endure your Celtic Crush sometime. We have a few options of going about doing that. There's a match slot open still for next weeks beach episode if you would like to have a match with me there, we can probably snatch that spot, or we can always train together. We can get you into April Starling's training facility as a guest." She between Oscar and Moira to see if any of those suggestions sounded good.

[MappleMan7]

"Ow! I was talking metaphorical, goofball!"

He'd jump a little at Moria's pinch before sticking his tongue out.

"But yes, Tina's that main eventer I mentioned. It was a really close match. Almost won when I KO'ed her in a bearhug before the crowd shook the stadium with their cheering and woke her up. I was still really new and made the mistake of pouring all of my energy into that hug so I ran out of steam to keep it up... or myself for that matter. She nailed me in the head and she pinned me after"

He sighed as he remembered the memory of meeting Tina in the ring.

"I'm definitely a lot wiser about conserving my stamina during matches now- so if you ever want another shot at me in an official match, you only need to ask. At least once I'm open for matches again. Higher ups say I've been picked to fight someone very experienced to debut in LAW- something big for the company. They want me to focus entirely on training for that match- so no other official matches until then. Oo- and dumplings sound great, thanks!"

Feeling Katrina feel his neck and back, he smiled happily before giving an excited gasp.

"That's a great idea! There's so much cool stuff we could do at April's place too... I'm down for that! What do you think, Moria?"

[ScylliasExoter]

”Aww I’m so happy for you Oscar! Look at you such a big shot. You’ll whallop whatever veteran they send after ye and send me cryin’ back to their momma. And yes I’d be happy to train with you, Katrina. So who’s this April Starling? Would we train with her?” Moira proceeded to destroy some dumplings and put in a second order because that’s what one does with dumplings.

[SimplyWoo]

"April is best friends with Tina and she usually she allows us to use her training facility without her having to be present, though she would probably be willing if requested." She mentioned as she thought about it. "How about the next time we go train we can all three go against each other in a triangle match. The first one to earn a victory by pinfall or submission would be declared the winner." She then took a drink of Suntory and started to cough, it was her first time trying it. "Phew, cough, I thought with a name like Suntory it would have been like a soft mixed drink, I wasn't expecting whisky." She continued to cough as she patted her chest a few times.

[MappleMan7]

"I certainly do my best no matter who I face. Depending on how things go, I'll have to consider challenging more experienced wrestlers around here. Maybe look towards preparing for a graduation match after more training and matches too so I can get my costume"

He'd look over and pat Katrina on the back as she started coughing, trying his best to help out before chiming in on the idea.

"Never fought more than one person in the ring before... but it sounds like a blast and a half! What do you think, Moria? You game for a mock triangle match?"

[ScylliasExoter]

“Triangle match? In Ireland we just call it a three way,” Moira let out a big laugh full of snorting. “Yes, I accept. Whenever your free. And I think you can hang on the main roster already. But the key to a triple threat, my friend, is not strength or stamina,” she pointed at her head, “it’s up here. That’s what separates the developmentals from the main roster. But you’re high INT as you’ve already showed.” She offered Oscar a high five. “Aw I’m sorry you don’t like it, Katrina. We can try a cocktail that’s more your fancy. I always love to try new booze! And I’d love to meet this April Star lady. I don’t know many people here. Thank you, Katrina!”

[SimplyWoo]

"Nonono, it's not that I didn't like it." She said as the coughed settled down and she smiled and nodded at Oscar in thanks for patting her on the back. As she pointed at her throat. "I wasn't expecting a burn, that caught me off guard." She then looked to the two of them, "Are you both free for the match tomorrow?" She then looked to Moira. "Oh, I've been meaning to ask you, how's the lions program treating you? Are you on the same workout as the lions or is there a difference with you being a lioness?"

[MappleMan7]

"As if I'd pass up a chance to get more experience in. I'm in, Katrina"

Oscar beamed and gave Moria that sweet, sweet high-five.

"Thank you! It's part of my Barbarian code..."

He would smile and nod back at Katrina, acknowledging her thanks before continuing.

"Being strong of body with good muscles and stuff is only one part of it: A barbarian MUST also be strong of heart to stand for what they believe in and for those who struggle to stand for themselves, strong of mind to stay one step ahead of their opponents and to outsmart them, and strong of spirit to endure the hardship we're bound to face be it from life or from an opponent"

He nodded his head at his wisdom, sharing it with the ladies.

"Most important of all: all that strength will mean nothing if you stand alone. We are all stronger when we stand with others- especially with friends and loved ones..."

He looked between the two ladies, a grin spreading on his face as he raised his rum glass

"... Or in this case, a party! Cheers to Moria, and to to the friends she'll make!"

Oscar let out a hearty, slightly tipsy laugh at his little DnD spin at the end there as he downed more rum before checking his phone for the time.

"Hm... cool. I can spend a bit more time. Excuse me- I gotta step away for a moment"

Oscar would leave his phone on the bar counter as he walked off to the men's room. After a few minutes, his phone would light up as a private message was sent... right through LAW's chatroom.

PirateLife: Heeeeey tall red and stupid. Guess you found your chat room name!

PirateLife: If you think I forgot about you, you're sorely mistaken. Your girlfriend got lucky. That's all.

Moira and Katrina sat and continued to discuss video games and all things fantasy. Oscar had described Katrina as a ninja, and Moira got the impression that Katrina had a graceful savagery as a wrestler herself. During their bonding, Moira noticed Oscar’s phone go off and some messages pop up. ”The fuck? Oi, Katrina. What’s a PirateLife and why is it saying mean things to Oscar… and that you got lucky. I mean you are lucky for finding one such as Oscar but it didn’t sound like happy luck, more like an angry ‘you got lucky’,” Moira babbled, hoping for an explanation to the strange messages.
