Hitting The Gym (Open)

(Open RP)

The match against Cassie rang alarm bells in Toshiko's head. The fact she had one of her ever growing anxiety attacks in the ring was somewhat of a shock to her. It was more humiliating than it was painful. How could she rightfully grab her hardcore title if during the title match she suffers from a attack. This was the reason Toshiko was at the gym now. She had to start making herself stronger so that she could fight back these attacks. She needed to gain her confidence back. She was convinced that was the reason she was having her attacks; against small tine wrestlers she won with little difficulty, but as soon as it came to a proper serious match against a veteran she lost. Most wrestlers would see this as a sign that meant that they had reached their limit. Toshiko however was eager to push herself forward. She was going to train hard and then challenge someone and win. That someone hadn't been decided yet but she would find some famous veteran to pummel into the ground.

Currently Toshiko was working on a punchbag, her punches and kicks were her lifeblood so she had to make sure that they were upto scratch, any sloppiness here was costly for her. The bag would sway backwards and forwards as she continued to strike it hard, almost as if she was trying to knock it off its chain.

This was interesting, River had to admit. Very interesting.

She had just stopped by the gym for a little workout, nothing serious, nothing too intense. Her time in the AFW had been pretty dull so far, nothing really grabbing her a a wrestler, nothing too noteworthy. There were some interesting wrestlers, sure, but none that really grabbed her. Not much to do.

But then she entered the gym, and inspiration struck. That hair. That bright, blue hair. Toshiko Nada.

Every once in a while, River actually bothered to check Friction's matches and see just who she might be fighting in the future, and a recent one caught her attention. From the look of the fight, she was suffering from health problems, messing her up through the fight. But as far as River knew, she wasn't off the roster. Which meant she was an easy target. Too easy to resist.

River strolled up behind Toshiko, staying quiet as she made her way over. She could be quite stealthy when she wanted to, and it helped that Toshiko was punching up a storm, in her own little world.

Toshiko was too busy venting out inn anger to really notice the female. She was in her own little bubble as she was punching out her concerns as well as working on improving her general arm strength. Afterall a brawler like Toshiko relied on these punches like bread on butter. She had not really thought about her latest match. She knew one was coming up but she didn't know against whom and at the moment she didn't particularly care. She was taking her tablets to help control the panic attacks and before you know it she will be back to full kick assing health and she can continue her conquest to try and claim the hardcore title belt, her ultimate goal. First however she needed to defeat this punchbag so she would take a deep breath and carry on punching it with all the strength she could muster.

Yeah, she was working up a sweat, going at the bag like it owed her money. It was pretty impressive, really. Nothing River couldn't take and hadn't taken plenty of times before, but the girl had good energy.

She tapped Toshiko on the right shoulder and jerked to the left, out of her sight, before worming her way around in front of her and leaning the bag."Hey. Mind if I work in?"

Toshiko was too out if it to really notice anything going on. When she felt the tap she nearly jumped and span around, seeing nothing. She would growl and would turn back around seeing the female leaning on the bag, the expression on Toshikos face was annoyed to say the least. "If you wanna stand there and take punches instead of the bag then be my guest. But don't get crying when i end destroying your face...... Not that it could get any uglier" Toshiko quipped.

Ooo, aggressive. River liked this one. She could already tell they were going to be the bestest friends ever!

"Ease up, la blue girl." River rolled her eyes. Antagonizing this one would be easier than she thought. She might as well have had a 'Piss Me Off' button on her face. Even River wasn't that much of a hair trigger. "Remember your Kindergarten lessons, you have to share with the other kids. Can't hog the bag all day."

Toshiko still wouldn't look happy. She would take a step back and growl even more. "Look I don't give two ahits about sharing. I am a going to fucking pummel your face in a minute if you don't move" Toshiko would quickly clench her fists "You got until three to move!... One... Two...." Toshiko would growl again. She was serious, no one messes with Toshiko.

Aw, a countdown. Cute.

She held up her fingers and counted along, ready for the retaliation. Girl had issues, riling someone up should never be this easy.

The fact that this woman startednto countdown with her was just downright annoying. She was asking for it wasn't she? Fine then. Toshiko would give her what she wanted."...Three...Fine you asked for it. Don't blame me when you are lying in a pool of your own blood" Toshiko would take a few steps back, circling around until she was justabout where she was before. After the slow pace wall she would almost instantly before stopping throw a punch at the unknown woman, more specifically throwing a punch in between he legs "How do you like that bitch!?" She would then take a few steps back, grinning from ear to ear.

Huh, a cheap shot. So that's what it felt like on the receiving end.

River fell to her knees, gritting her teeth as she looked back up. She couldn't blame Toshiko - if the roles were reversed, she would do the same thing, Well, not the same thing, exactly, since she would have followed up with a boot to the head before her opponent could retaliate. Still, in general principle, it was sound.

She started to rise and pressed her weight into the heavy bag as she rose, swinging it forward right at the blue-haired bint.
