*While this appeared to be an incredibly mortifying position for Gambit to find herself in, shockingly, it wasn't the worst predicament she had managed to get herself in- Far from it, actually. Having been raised on a mobile brothel and casino parlor, The Bayou Bunny was accustomed to scenes of explicit mortification and outright degradation on a consistent, daily basis. Even though she was down, the spunky rabbit certainly wasn't out, forcing herself to suffer through the anguish while trying to reestablish her dominance in this intense skirmish!*
"J..just a..l..lucky..s..shot.." *She murmured, clinching her fists while gnashing her teeth together.*
*The audience may have been in total support of the diminutive Italian, but the longer their chanting continued, the more inspired Gambit felt to prove their adoration wrong- Sure, everyone has their moments, but the riverboat rabbit's wasn't just some passing fluke; she was the real deal, and Mariza was about to be dealt a hand she wouldn't be able to win with! Before she had the chance to concoct a strategy however, her adversary made the first move, synching her forearms around her neck for a constricting choke!*
"Grrnhh! Y..you..a...aren't g..getting me down that easily!" *Gambit barked, her boots remaining firmly planted against the ground while continuing to thrash about within Mariza's grasp, desperately trying to force the infinitesimal woman's grip to loosen before she managed to sap her of any viable energy she had stored up, the crowd relishing this intense combat with constant applause and shouts of support!*
