Meeting New Faces (for Ryona Girl)

[CaptainL]

As she rounded the corner of the track, Marzia leaned against the wall and panted, getting the breath back in her lungs. It was her fourth lap in a row, and her exhaustion was starting to get caught up with her, even despite her stamina. But she knew she had to do better than this, and it just made her frustrated as she grit her teeth. Try as she might, Marzia wasn't having the best of luck in her LAW career. Her first two matches had both ended in her defeat, and she wasn't being booked for much after that - even though she had done her best, and her first match had been very close in the end. Still, it was enough to make her wonder what the point of it was. Was her career ever going to look up?

Spoiler

She looked around the gym, noting that she didn't really know anyone here. That was another point of concern - she hadn't gotten to make any friends, even though she might've been hoping she could connect with someone. Despite her shyness, the Italian girl still held out the thought that if she had someone she could feel comfortable sharing her concerns with, it might have been better. But that wasn't going her way either. Sighing to herself, she turned and headed back into the weight room, looking to see if there might be anything else around she could do to pass the time, and maybe get her mind off this.

Sorry for large Picture

It had been a few days since Luna had signed her LAW Contract and entered the world of wrestling. She had been spending the last few days donig the tedious task of preforming physical's and filling out pages and pages of paper work. Honestly it was all kind of annoying, but she had her first day off today and had been expecting to enjoy it, however, she had gotten a call from her manager, telling her that she needed to report to the Law training center in order to do basic training. Luna had argued it with her manager for a while on it, having wanted to watch the E3 Stream going on today, but NOOOOOOOOO, she had to go train today of all days. It wasn't like Luna's first match was set in stone yet, so what was the rush?


In the end, the pink Haired Canadian had to give up, got into her crappy 2004 Nissan Maximum, and drove over to the Law training center.

When the girl arrived, she found herself quite shocked to see how state of the art the center was training ground was. There were three security checks to get into the facility. (Luna had a bit of an issue since she was so new, but eventually she got in.) Along with the basic training equipment, there were other stations in the building, including but not limited to a character building station, a recording studio for backstage promos (Which Luna eyed VERY seriously, wondering if she could hook up her guitar somewhere and record a few songs), a food court with an area of fancy but health foods, and a costume line where one could have a personal costume made for yourself. There were a few other stations, but these were the main ones that caught the Canadian's attention. Truely, Law put alot of effort into making sure they had the best talent from around the globe.

As Luna stepped into the physical training portion, she would look around and find that the gym was quite large, but surprisingly empty. Weightlifting machines surrounded the room, in the center there was a large 20X20 wrestling ring. All the equipment looked clean, as if it had been deep cleaned today. Looking around, Luna only saw a young Italian girl, about her age in the arnea, she was much shorter than her, but the two appeared to be in the same weight division. The Canadian almost approached her, but stopped herself, recalling she was the new girl around these parts and prehaps that others didn't want to be bothered while doing their exercises.

So, the Pink haired singer would go to a corner that was built for doing some stretches, just trying to warm up before she tried to lift some weights.

Just as she was about to make her rounds, Marzia glanced up, seeing that someone had joined her in the gym. With how quiet it was at this time, this came as a bit of a surprise to her, and it caught her attention, as she looked up to inspect this girl closer. She was new around here, that Marzia could tell - she hadn't seen her around before, or even heard of anyone fitting her description. Even as an indie wrestler, this girl didn't ring a bell to her. She couldn't help but wonder what was up with her.

At that point, Marzia thought back to what had just been on her mind, about her inability to make any real connections with people. Although the thought of approaching people was less than enticing for her, she had to wonder...was it a failure on her part? This girl was new here, and she wouldn't have any preconceived notions about Marzia. Any impression she got would be a new one. In some ways that was intimidating, as if she messed this up, it could make her enemies pretty quickly. But it was also encouraging, since the new arrival wouldn't know who Marzia was, and she wouldn't have any reason to be scared off of her. Perhaps this was worth a try...

Marzia gulped, taking in a deep breath to steel herself. She could do this, she thought, it would be simple. She just had to make that effort. She turned over to the corner where the pink-haired girl was stretching and cleared her throat.

"Uh, er...you're new here, aren't you? I mean, I haven't seen you before..."

[Ryona Girl]

(Sorry, time got away from me.)


Luna had just moved on from some basic stretches into doing some sit-ups, when she suddenly heard someone clear her through t from behind her. Luna would lay back and look at the girl standing behind her, looking straight up to see they girl.

"Oh..... is it that obvious? Yes, I am new around here. My name is Luna. I just got signed a few days ago. How about yourself? Judging by the fact that you recognized that I was new, I suppose you have been here some time?"

[CaptainL]

(No problem! I'm just glad to have you back.)

As Luna turned her attention to her, Marzia nodded, facing the pink-haired girl. It seemed like she was trying to make conversation, and that made things a little less intimidating. Still, Marzia couldn't help but feel a little guilty as Luna proclaimed she seemed obviously new. The Italian didn't want to insinuate the new arrival was any less for it, and her face flushed red as the apprehensions of accidentally causing offense gripped her. Nevertheless, Marzia shrugged it off. She couldn't let those apprehensions hold her back.

"Ah, no, really-! It's...it's fine," she said, huffing. "Yeah, I've been in a few matches...er, I just recognised you is all, it isn't a bad thing-!"

[Ryona Girl]

As the Italian girl would start to talk, Luna would roll to her stomach and start to get up. Luna noticed that the girl was huffing and struggling with her words, which made the Canadian's heart drop. This was a feeling that the pink haired girl was all to used to. Shyness. Throughout her entire life the girl had been used to people becoming nervous when people talked to her, mostly men, but some women as well. Why? The girl understood that she was.... attractive, but she was still a human being with her own flaws. She didn't like when people thought that she was perfect just by the way she looked, and as such would get flustered when they tried to talked with her. Either that or worst, they would just awkwardly look at her from a far.


Well, at least the green eyed girl was willing to try.

As she stood up, the girl would notice that she was much taller than the Italian, something she was used to, but hoped it wouldn't scare off the more experienced wrestler.

"Oh..... I'm glad that I have made enough of a impression that I can be recognized!!

But anyways, in case you didn't catch it before, My name is Luna, its nice to meet you Miss.........?"

As she said this, the girl would reach out her hand for a hand shake, hoping the itilaian would take her hand.

[CaptainL]

Marzia blinked a little as she looked on, seeing that Luna was apprehensive. She started to shrink back with a gulp. This was all going just terribly, she thought to herself. Now she had intimidated Luna, and probably made a fool of herself doing it. Her face flushed brighter, and she just wished she could disappear and forget this ever happened. The fact that Luna was so tall in comparison, and had to look down on Marzia, didn't help her seem any less intimidating.

Wait. Waaait. Was Luna holding out her hand? Maybe things weren't going so bad after all. Maybe there was hope for a friendship to form between the two girls yet. Marzia blinked a few times before she stepped forward to take Luna's hand, shaking it, albeit limply. There was still a lot of anxiety, and it would be hard to hide that.

"No, no, it's okay, Luna...I heard you..." she said with a nod. "My name's Marzia...Marzia Servelli. Really, I was just hoping to, er, to meet people..."

[Ryona Girl]

Miss Marzia.....

"Well, Mariza, it looks like you just met a people." the Pink haired girl would say, chuckling at her bad grammar. The Italian was shy, yes, but at least she was talking to Luna, Perhaps she could break through the shyness? It was probably Luna's best chance at making a freind, and seeing how no one else had tried to talk to her yet, Marzia was probably one of the better people to try to break through to.

"Anyways, As I said.... I am kinda new around here.... Like, I am doing stretches right now, but honestly I have no idea what I am doing." Sure, the Canadian was saying this to try to get the smaller girl to feel more confident, however, nothing she said wasn't true. "Perhaps you can show me around? If you would be willing to...."

[CaptainL]

Marzia couldn't help but chuckle at Luna's humor. Sure, it was a dumb joke, but dumb jokes were a guilty pleasure of Marzia's, and she had to hand that to Luna. A smile broke over her face, and it did its part to defuse the tension between them.

Relaxing her posture somewhat, Marzia looked up at Luna. Sure enough, she was new, just as she had suspected - no wonder Marzia hadn't seen her around. And in a way, it made Luna feel that much more relatable. Marzia was hardly a seasoned veteran herself, and she knew what it felt to be out of her league. But being here before Luna...well, to say that it made her feel better would sound rude, but Marzia definitely felt like it put things into perspective. Now she knew she wasn't as new as she felt, and it made her feel less like she had dived into the deep end. And what's more, Luna was looking to her for guidance! This was her big chance to take control, to really feel important. Marzia could stand for that!

"Ah, well, this is just one of our gyms," she said. "You'll probably be using it a lot if you work here, so I might as well show you where everything is." Marzia turned off to head down the hallway, looking back over her shoulder at Luna to gesture for her to follow. "Just...just follow me, okay?"

[Ryona Girl]

Mariza's tight shoulder would relax as Luna started asking questions, a sign of relaxation. Good, she was letting her guard down.... wait, no, that came out wrong. She was allowing herself to be comfortable in Luna's presence. Better? Yeah, Luna thought so.

Honestly, Luna thought she might of needed to prompt the smaller girl into a certain direction, or ask specifically for something. But Mariza had already taken charge and started to head down the hallway, telling Luna to follow her. Showing leadership....

"One of our gyms?" Luna would ask. "I know LAW is all around the world, but do we have more than one official gym? If so, How many?"
