It had been quite the week for Karina. She had been on a shopping spree to get things in order for next month, not to mention talking with old relatives about what was going to happen and if they could show up. The majority of the work week had been filled with those kinds of things, together with a match here and there but never really truly time for some training of her own, perhaps even ask someone for a spar so she could keep in shape and learn some new moves by practicing them. It was obvious that lately Karina has been trying out new things, no longer content with just spearing, slamming or engaging in tests of strengths, definitely when the latter wasn't always welcomed by her opponents whom will try to avoid Karina's strength and go for a cheap attack during it.
When she finally had time to plan some free time in the weekend, word has reached her from a very, very old rival from her school years. Looking back, currently her biggest rival was also her lover, but if she went outside of the wrestling federation, there was someone who went even beyond her starting career, who had left their last fight with crushing Karina within her arms and really make a prime example why Karina sought to get stronger. She decided against getting one of her friends to spar with her and instead she opted to go for that same girl. After all, what better way to get to know eachother again than by doing what they both still loved?
She entered the empty gym, tying up her hair in a neat ponytail so it wouldn't get in the way, though it was still quite lengthy cause of the length of Karina's hair which she still refused to cut after all those problems with hair tugging or using it as a leash. It just meant that she had to make sure it wouldn't happen again! She made her way to the ring, though opted not to get inside and instead she stood next to it, dropping her duffle bag and knelt down to open it and fetch a bottle of water, twisting the cap open and would take a slow sip. She might as well wait for rival first, wondering just how she looked like now. Mostly she remembered of Joan back then was her uniquely colored hair and hair, along with a chest that was even bigger than Karina's pair! The very thought made her twitch, though she was going to be somewhat friendly for now considering it's been so many years!
