The Same Spirit, Different Worlds

[APlaying]

What started as a simple project, ended up being an almost meteoric rise, as Snow had just recently been promoted as a number one contender candidate. Although her career in LAW to date had not been the best, as Snow had just come off back-to-back losses, that didn't stop her promotion from being solid enough to receive great support from both her fans and wrestling fans alike.

It was obvious to her that if she wanted to face the top of the light heavyweight division, she would have to train to get stronger so she would have a better chance against Renee, as well as anyone else in her division. This week in particular she would have her schedule free, as she had concluded several auditions and finished shooting a couple of her upcoming movies, the actress would finally have time to focus on practicing her skills in the ring. So, under Kaori's supervision, she would go to the gym where other LAW wrestlers usually practice. Her manager was worried about the actress, as she had heard that there were constant conflicts there. However, that did not worry Snow, so far she had a good relationship with almost all her partners, with a couple of exceptions, she had no conflicts outside the ring.

Snow got ready with her secondary attire for the occasion and as soon as she entered the gym, surprisingly some people who recognized her immediately greeted her giving her a warm welcome, something that the actress reciprocated with her characteristic enthusiasm as she greeted the people of the place. Looking among them, though, she didn't see anyone particularly good to train with, so the actress simply went to the ring at the edge of the gym and climbed in to begin her warm-up.

Svetlana showed up to work out in the ring to do some endurance and basic technique training. She emerged from the locker room wearing a white sports bra and purple briefs with white wrestling boots. She was surprised to see her usual ring taken and as she approached she noticed a familiar face.

The biter. Svetlana was still a bit unhappy about Snows approach to wrestling when she made her way towards the ring. "Well well look who it is!" Scetlana said as she approached. "Here to pra ti e biting or eye rakes?" She asked with a smirk.

As soon as she started to do some stretching, Snow felt someone approaching her, she looked out of the corner of her eye and immediately recognized the figure that had just caught her attention. It was nothing more and nothing less than Svetlana Zynsky, the Polish she had faced almost a couple of weeks ago, the match was close but Snow was paralyzed after a hard fall, luckily the actress had been blessed with a really hard skull, because the girl was really angry when she applied that move. And apparently Svetlana still remembered perfectly why she was angry, however for the actress despite the result, it was one of her best fights and having Svetlana on the site by coincidence is something that drew a smile of excitement on her face, so she walked towards her until she rested her arms on the top rope and had her face to face.

"Well, I was actually thinking of practicing some tricks, but I was missing one of my chew toys. I'm glad to see I found one of them today." The actress would joke in reference to her match, the truth is that even though Snow is considered a face in the company, she has a knack for playing dirty when cornered, and this is something the public loves. "But tell me, how have you been?" Snow asked in a friendly way, apparently she was eager to see Svetlana again.

Svetlana crossed her arms and shift her weight to her other foot. "I am all right." She answered flatly. "So you are looking to work on more cheating or actual wrestling? Anyone who resorts to dirty moves isn't worthy of being in a ring honestly." Svetlana said as she shook her head but still stepped closer to the ring a smile forming on her face. Maybe she would show this woman something or learn something? Svetlana was intrigued about maybe working with Snow, but she wanted nothing to do with anything underhanded that was for sure.

Snow listened carefully to Svetlana's response, which made her laugh a little. “You know, it's funny because my Judo, Karate and Wing Chun instructors told me the same thing before kicking me out of each of their Dojos. But the point is that now I'm in a field where anything goes, and if I have to win I'll do it with everything in my hands. Besides, even though you beat me, it wasn't a very convincing victory for you. Expressed the actress somewhat arrogantly, she took her arms off the ropes and backed slowly towards the center of the ring as Svetlana approached.

“Your purpose was to submit me, and I won't deny that on one occasion you almost succeeded, but instead. You only made me stronger, and that is something for which I am very grateful, and today that is precisely the purpose” Snow stopped just over halfway across the ring. “I was looking for a sparring partner, but having my personal toy here is even better. I hope you're not holding back just because it's practice.” Said the actress with a big excited expression on her face.

"Who the hell are you to tell me my purpose?" Svetlana asked clearly annoyed by this woman. "You cheat and I beat you wrestling clean. Then you have the gall to tell me I am here just because you need me?!" Svetlana said. "You act like the world revolves around you and it gives me every reason to turn around, walking away." Svetlana said shaking her head. She was finding herself increasingly bothered by just about everything Snow was saying.

That was just the reaction the actress was looking for, and it confirmed her suspicion. “I'm really not saying this to upset you, I'm simply saying that it clearly cost you to defeat me, more than you would have expected. And based on your reaction, I'm not too far off the mark.” The actress continued to back up until she was leaning her back against the ropes, well her arms stretched out side to side over the top rope.

“I'm not going to lie to you, after our match I took the liberty of doing a little research on your career, and just like me at the time, you were in a regular position with respect to wins and losses. I understand the feeling, that's why I noticed that during our fight you tried to subdue me by any means. But in the end it didn't work out for you, basically I'm just saying that maybe you are as strong as you really think, or maybe you felt a little embarrassed about how your career was going, after all you are usually defeated by simple rookies.” The actress explained in detail her point of view, she gave the impression that she was sure of something.... “I don't know exactly how you feel about it, but what I am 100% sure of, is that if you had kept trying to submit me. I would have won.” Snow sounded very sure about it. “And believe me I don't mean to offend, your submission techniques are really good. But it's obvious that I'm too slippery for you.”

The actress usually never tried to tease her co-workers, however today was different, she wanted to provoke Svetlana enough that she sought to measure herself against her using all her strength. If she wanted to confront Renee, she had to exploit this factor as best she could to use it against her, but would Svetlana really be the type to fall for her hints? At first glance it would seem so, but she was careful in her choice of words, as this was a great opportunity to prove herself and the actress could not afford to let it pass her by.

Svetlana listened and rolled her eyes. "Yeah you put up a fight but I could have made ya tap. I pinned you instead. A win is a win, pinfall and submissions are the same. You are just making excuses for me standing tall over your arrogant self that was laid out looking up at the lights." Svetlana said. "If we are done I have a workout to get to. If you want me to step in the ring and make you cry then say so stop being coy and wasting time. Other people want to use the ring as well." Svetlana said with her hands on her hips.

Snow went cold at the Polish woman's response, apparently her expectation of what it was like to provoke someone were misdirected. “Aish, you are so boring Svetlana...” Snow felt somewhat embarrassed now and sighed a little, as her performance was not convincing enough to provoke Svetlana, quite the contrary apparently repelling her. The actress then took a couple of steps forward. “I'm sorry, it's just that I'm trying to work better on my performance to make better promos. I don't know if you know, but I want to be a title contender and during the promo, Renee Steinhauser interrupted me and now we will have a ladder match.... I'm very nervous, I have little time and I need to improve in everything... In fact, I would love to have someone to train with now. Please forgive me if I was very rude to you, but I feel a lot of pressure right now.” Snow's voice cracked a little at that last frase.

“Ehem! I heard it was very common to engage in conflict around here, I thought it would be a good way to provoke you, I hope it wasn't too awkward, I'm not really used to doing it.” She answered honestly, she always tends to have a very good relationship with her coworkers.

Svetlana stopped cold and listened looking Snow in the eye. A smile slowly crept over her face and Svetlana couldn't help but feel stupid. "I... oh wow... I misunderstood very much. Lets get in that ring and we'll both get some good work in as we do our best." Svetlana said patting Snow on the back. "I am happy to help now that I see the real you, this is a much better look I think."

Svetlana headed to the ring, dropping her things and climbing up onto the apron then climbing through the ropes as she stretched. "Standard rules and honor system? One fall or just keep going until we decide we have done enough?" Svetlana asked, her expression a much happier, more friendly one than Snow had seen from her.
