Personal Dueling!

It was a slow day backstage in the league as Mari was in the catering area. She had to admit it would've been nice to have this level of food when she was out on the independent scene before heading up to AFW. The food was damn good having it supplied rather than having to go out and buy her own food. It was one less thing that she had to worry about doing what she loved. Feeling pretty satisfied with what she had as she sat at a table by herself.

She didn't have much friends so far since coming to the league, not including the women she viewed as her rivals, but she didn't mind. Those women were enough to push her to better herself, but she also knew that there was never a time where she didn't need more rivals. Looking around the room, she saw the numerous faces that could possibly become her rival. The most exciting part wasn't about them just being her rival, but rather what field they would push her to her limits. Her eyes continued to wander across the room, shifting from head to head to see just which could possibly be her next rival....

Sophia was absolutely starving.

The Brazilian beauty had spent the majority of her day in the gym, getting her exercise in, and watching a few other girls do their own thing, be it sparing, or whatever. No only was it good to see just how other girl's in the AFW trained, it was also just nice to look at them. Sophia wasn't one to hide that she was staring, either. She had been a huge flirt for as long as she could remember. Unfortunately, most of the girls were so engrossed in what they were doing, she didn't get much attention.

After a hot shower, Sophia made her way to the cafeteria. A good meal after her exercise would do her well. She cold very well eat at home, but she wanted to avoid going out into the cold for a while. She hated the winter, everything about it. One of her favorite hobbies was sunbathing, and doing that in the winter wasn't exactly something she could do.

Sophia, once she reached the counter, ordered herself a nice salad with some chicken in it, taking it once it was ready and went to look to look for a table. Scanning the room, she saw a girl with silver hair, sitting by herself. She could see her eyes scanning the room, as if she was looking or something, or someone. She was also quite pretty. The Brazilian smiled, figuring she had nothing to lose introducing herself to the girl. She didn't feel like eating alone anyway.

She walked up to the table, giving a smile to the silver haired girl. "Is this seat taken?" she asked, giving the girl a wink..Once again, she couldn't stop herself from flirting at least a little. But she couldn't help herself when she saw someone as pretty as her.

Lost in her look around the room, Mari did not realize that some one else had approached her table.

Snapping out of her thought, she turned back to the new woman as Mari took the time to observe the pretty woman. She had not seen her this woman before, neither on TV or backstage so she deduced that she was a newcomer, or at least in her mind. She could've had matches and Mari had not been attentive enough to watch the other matches that were in the league. Which would really been a shame, since she had the great looks, Mari wanted to see what skills she had to back that body.

"No, sit if you like." she replied, gesturing towards one of the empty chairs siting around the table. Taking quite an interest in the woman, since she was so bold/curious to approach her. Mari also returned the curiosity and hoped that her rather brash personality wouldn't drive her off. "What are you doing here?" she asked rather bluntly, not even bother to beat around the bush.

Sophia noticed that, as soon as she spoke to her, the girl seemed to snap out of what must have been deep thought. She didn't know what she was thinking about, or what she might have been looking for, but it didn't matter. She was just happy that she didn't turn her away. She was quite the looker, and there was no way she was missing the chance to befriend someone as pretty as she was.

The Brazilian took her a seat next to the girl, giving her a smile. She was about to ask her name, when she came out with her very direct question. Sophia blinked for a second, a little taken back by the forwardness. But, her smile returned after a moment, along with a quiet laugh.

"You know, most people lead with 'hello, what's you're name,'" she joked, giving her another laugh. "But, it's okay. I'll start. My name is Sophia, and I'm here to eat." She added the last part simple to give a joking answer to her question. She hoped that she didn't take her light ribbing too personally. Sophia was very light hearted, and enjoyed having an energetic conversation. "So, what's your name?"

Mari let out a scoff, one that was out of a laugh that could've been a laugh but fell short just at the tip. The response that the girl, Sophia, gave tipped Mari off that she had a sense of humor that was for sure. The smartass remark would've pissed Mari off at any other part of her day, but she felt she deserved it with her vague question. "Mari. Sophia was it? You must be new here. Welcome, if no one has told you that." So far in Mari's mind things were going smoothly.

Looking at Sophia intently, Mari didn't recognize her from when she was on the indy scene, but then again with how Sophia looked, she must've been on a different continent as she would've heard at least something regarding a tanned beauty like her. Exotic beauties were quite the craze in Japan and with looks like Sophia had? Mari could agree.

"Where are you from?"

Sophia was glad that her joking didn't get taken too hard by the girl. She seemed nice, but she also seemed very stern. It didn't really matter too much to her if she wasn't quiet as peppy as Sophia was, she seemed nice, regardless.

Sophia took a bite of her salad, keeping an eye on her new acquaintance, who she now knew as Mari. Sophia nodded when she repeated her name, not wanting to be rude having a mouth full of food. She didn't want to give off a bad impression. If she hadn't already. After swallowing her food, she smiled at the girl. "Well, I'm new-ish. I've had two matches so far. Won them both, actually. But, thank you anyway for the welcome," she said.

She watched as Mari's eyes scanned her, as if trying to figure out if she was real or not. It didn't really bother her, she was used to stares. But Mari was looking at her like she was trying to figure out who she was. "I'm from Brazil. I came to Japan for the the chance to wrestle in the AFW. And, if I'm being honest, to have sex with a few of the ladies around here," she said, laughing just a bit. She knew that that was probably a bit too much to spill, but she figured a lot of girls at the AFW came for some of their own personal reasons. Hers just happened to be that she wanted the chance to get with some of the prettiest girls on the planet.

"So, what about you? Where do you come from?" she asked, taking another bite of her salad.

Since her plate was already cleared, Mari just sat there listening to her new companion. It would've been totally rude of her to leave the table to go get more food. She wasn't even hungry anyway and the company was nice to be talking with her peer.

Hearing the bit about her having two matches, Mari felt bad for not keeping tabs on other people's matches, it would give her a good idea of who she should be on the look out for in search of another match. When she heard the final bit of Sophia's words, her eyes narrowed a bit. Previously, she would've looked down on Sophia and her want of sex, but after being introduced to hentai wrestling and competing in the few, she came to the conclusion that it would be completely hypocritical of her to bash on that.

"I see..." she let out, at least Sophia was completely honest about what she wanted. Honesty was a virtue that was one of the things that Mari valued. "Well...at least you know what you want." she replied as she leaned over and posted herself up by the elbows on the table. "Me? I'm from Nagoya here in Japan. Haven't gotten the chance to go aboard due to my wrestling career. I wanted to jump into AFW so quick that I just stayed here, waiting for that call to come in you know?" she explained, laughing to herself at thinking about the chances she ignored just to get into AFW.

"What brings you from Brazil? I didn't think there was any wrestling in South America."

Sophia listened to Mari how she stayed in Japan so that she could start her career in the AFW. She seemed to put a lot of stake on getting into the business. But, at least it paid off for her in the end. Here she was, wrestling in the AFW like she wanted. "Hey, there's nothing wrong with pursuing what you want. And hey, you got in, so it worked out, right?" Sophia said, smiling at the silver haired girl.

When Mari asked what brought her to the AFW, she stared off with a thoughtful look. "Well, like I said, my main reason was for the ladies. But I do enjoy the wrestling. Fighting is one of my favorite things," she explained. "And, no. There wasn't really any major organized wrestling where I came from. Before this, I was a cam model. You wouldn't believe how much money you can make, taking your clothes off for perverts over the internet," she said, laughing before taking another bite of her salad. She hadn't told many people about her modeling. Mainly because she figured it wasn't worth bringing up.

And, even though she was now in the AFW, she hadn't abandoned it. She still got on maybe once a week to give a show for a few hours. But, now, she mainly focused on the AFW.

Mari was getting more and more curious as Sophia went on about what she did in Brazil before coming to Japan, she had confirmed her suspicions about there not being a major promotion there, which brought her to the question about how she got there. And then she heard the final bit of information as Mari's face soured. So she was one of 'those' girls. The girls who were meant to be solely in the hentai division, and of all the backgrounds she could've been from, she was a Cam Model of all things!

"Oh...you're one of those kinds." she said rather sharply as she narrowed her eyes, her opinion of Sophia downed immensely. She respected hentai wrestling, but she didn't respect the ones that had shady and otherwise not 'respectable' backgrounds like the one Sophia. "Taking your clothes off for people on the internet? How little respect do you have of yourself?" she quickly shot out, completely discarding the soft and almost friendly tone she had earlier and now switched to a more accusing and not friendly one.

Sophia's expression dissolved into complete confusion as Mari started talking down to her because of her past. Was this really happening? She couldn't possibly be seriously talking down to her because she was a cam model. The AFW is a place where woman get fucked on live TV. Who was she to judge her for doing the same thing on a web cam?

"Excuse me?" Sophia said, her eyes narrowing right back at Mari. "Who the hell are you to talk down to me? I do it because I enjoy it. I'm comfortable enough with my body to show it off, so I have plenty of respect for myself. Which is more than can be said for you if you are so offended by it." Sophia ranted to the silver haired girl, completely taken back by her sudden attitude toward her. Cam modeling was something that she prided herself on. Sure, not everybody was going to like it, but Mari took it to a new level by insulting her for it.
