Ain't That A Kick In The Head

Fresh off Summer Splash Adrian was feeling a lot better about herself, the whole event had a feeling of positivity about it to her: the friendly banter in her debut match that managed to avoid the word "bitch" being tossed around, her plan for the Maids at the wet T-shirt contest going off without a hitch. Yup, everything was coming up Kytes. Even her planned meeting with Lukretia Von Creuzfeldt wasn't worrying her in the slightest, despite everything surrounding the GM of Friction, Adrian had a real good feeling about this as she sat in the waiting room in a black and white checkered suit with her hair dyed black and slicked black.

She probably looked ridiculous, like someone had gender flipped one of the rat-pack, but as she waited for Lukretia to arrive at her office while she fiddled with a platinum-coloured poker chip in her hands she couldn't help but smile.

Hilde Von Creuzfeldt sat at the reception desk as she looked at Adrian. She greeted the woman and offered a beverage before returning to her seat and buzzing Lukretia. The German's terse response amounted to Adrian having to wait a few minutes before Hilde was buzzed again. She turned and nodded to Adrian. "Lukretia will see you now, Ms. Kytes." She said as she opened the door and let Adrian in.

Lukretia sat at her desk and watched Adrian get escorted in. She herself was dressed in a sleek black dress that very subtly revealed her assets. She had her hands folded neatly on the desk and she smiled pleasantly at Adrain. "Villkommen frauline Kytes." Lukretia said as she looked over the girl. "Vat an interesting choice of attire to vear to such a meeting." She turned her head slightly as if contemplating the suit. "To be frank, ze only reason I have agreed to zis meeting is because of vat I saw at ze pay-per-view. Zat und I have heard ze story of your encounter vith meine help. So." She asked as she raised her eyebrows curiously. "Vat can I do for you?"

Took long enough, Adrian thought as she walked confidently into the office, confidence. That was all it was about.

"Why thank you Miss Von Creuzfelt, I put a lot of effort into it. If I just wore the same outfit day in and day out, it would be so boring: no variety in styles, no contrast from one day to the next." She replied, sitting down in the chair the opposite side of the desk as Lukretia mentioned her choice of suit.

"Well I'm just happy that my little stunt got your attention, sure I probably could have gotten this through official channels but you're a very busy women I assume, I needed something to grasp your attention or what's the difference between me and everyone else who walks in here for a meeting?" She said, stretching out in the office chair, trying to avoid the subject of the 3 on 1 battle with the maids, she had to leave a good impression here. "But on to buisness, see I didn't know much about the AFW when I came here, I mean I knew about the hentai matches and how skilled everyone was, in theory at least, haven't met a girl here who could beat me without a surprise attack. But since everyone here's after my back I'd prefer if I had a large orginization watching it for me, get it?" She asked, pocketing her chip while raising her eyebrow.

"In short I'm here to offer my services as a member of Meister in return for sufficient protection from anyone who thinks that the little cosplayer is an easy target, and assistance at getting back on anyone who already has done. If you're not interested in someone for full time membership we could work it out on a favour for a favour basis instead."

I see." Lukretia said. "Vile it is not meine style, I assure you zat fashion does not make or break meine opinion of someone. If you have indeed vorked hard und are proud of your style zen who am I to say zat you should not vear it aside from giving meine opinion on it. Meine gardener also likes to spend a lot of time vearing flamboyant suits."

Lukretia then shuffled some papers as heard Adrian's explanation. "Your bold move paid off frauline." She said and smiled. "I like someone who is villing to take risks und who can think outside ze box. I am indeed a busy voman und I most likely vould not have bother vith meeting you othervise. You are indeed impressing me thusfar, meine frau."

Lukretia then carefully listened to Adrian's proposal and raised her brow. "Normally I vould find veakness in such a proposition. You vish to cower behind meine power?" She paused and considered Adrian's words. "I have nothing against veaklings." She said. "I believe zat strength is ze true vay und zat veaklings should know zere place und stay out of ze vay of ze strong." Lukretia looked over Adrian. "But... I am curious about you. Sometimes you can judge a person by a person by ze enemies she makes. You seem content to make enemies of anyone you are able to. Vhy is zat? Tell me vat makes you tick." She said as she leaned in and smiled at Adrian coolly. "Did you seek me out because you are a maid who is looking to get avay vith a few things here und zere or is it because you vant to be strong und make a name for yourself by hiding under meine ving until you are ready to fly on your own?"

"Please, there's no need to insult me here. I'm definatley no maid who's looking for a free uniform." Adrian said with a slight scowl, it was about the third time that people had suggested that the only reason she was here was to become another maid.

"Strength is such a vague term don't you think?" She asked casually, stretching her arms out, her normal smile returning "It's got so many different uses at anyone time. It could mean strength as how much you could lift up, it could mean strength as in how good you are in a fight, it could mean strength as in the ability to really ruin someones day for funsies, it could mean something completley different. Focusing on one aspect, one solitary definition and you'll often find that your ideas about who's weak and who's strong is well..." she rambled on, sliding her chair so they were facing eachother across the desk "not exactly what you expect."

"But more to the point, I don't go around looking for people to make enemies out of, it'd suit me just fine if we could all get along and leave what happens in the ring, in the ring, unless it's a falls count anywhere match but you get my point. Enemies happen whether you want them to or not, and sometimes powerful enemies have powerful friends, so you need powerful friends if you don't want to be on the bad end of a non-consensual gang bang while your arms are in another zip code. Regrettebly a simmilar situation may be happening to me and quite frankly when you hear who seems to have it out for me, I think you'll understand a lot more why I'm here." Adrian shuddered, like remembering a bad dream and well some of the aspects of that night kind of were "Nothing inherantly weak about that, it's just facing facts."

"But that's not to say this relationship is all take and no give. Oh no, see that little show I put on, wasn't just a way to get your attention while having some fun: It was also a demonstration. I managed to pull that off with about one weeks prep time and all I wanted from it was a little attention, now try and think of that ability to plan, to do the unexpected, to solve nearly any problem in the most creative of ways, at your command."

Lukretia smiled at Adrian. Taking insult to being called a maid was definitely a step in the right direction. She listened carefully to what Adrian had said. " know zat zere are many facets to strength, meine frau." She said. "I do not believe zat physical strength is ze only measure of one's abilities even zough I do believe it is quite useful. Zose who are truly strong hope to achieve it in as many aspects as possible." She added.

"Und I agree vith you. People take things quite seriously. People cannot handle being slighted und zis is unfortunate. Ven one faces an opponent zen zey must leave everything on ze fridge." She said botching the reference. "Othervise any further action only exposes zere veakness und unvillingness to improve." Lukretia raised an eyebrow at Adrian's words. "Oh? Who have you made enemies vith, frauline?" She asked.

She then paused. "Vell... I am at ze very least intrigued. I like ze vay you think even if you perhaps have some things zat leave little to be desired." She then paused. "Zough, perhaps I should test you out myself?" She said leaning forward and eying Adrian carefully.

"Well you know..." Adrian said in response to Lukretia's awkward question. She couldn't just flat out say who her main problem was with, best to be as unspecific as possible "there was this one girl, red-head who I ended up in a fight with where she left with blood dripping down the back of her head and I was completely fine, only attacking in self defense." thinking some more now that she got a look at Lukretia's eyebrow. "The crowd hates my guts but then I'm totally fine with that, I'd be more insulted if they didn't react at all than if they call me all sorts of nasty names, your maids definatley hate me except for the small one who is kind of cute but also very very wierd and that's coming from me, and probably that ninja I faced at the PPV who I beat is probably out for some semblance of revenge because... ninjas. That covers it for enemies. I think."

"Well it's good that I've managed to keep your attention for so long, no doubt many people by now would have been kicked out but when you say test..." she said nervously, not liking the way the GM leaned forward over her desk, "...could you, you know, explain a bit about that?"

Lukretia listened to her list of enemies and smiled. "I like your attitude, meine frau." She said as she stood up and began to walk around to the other side of the desk where Adrian was. She kept her pace slow and moved like a great tigress meandering regally towards something that caught her attention. "Indeed in zis business hatred goes a lot further zan silence. Frankly zose who gaze zere eye upon me in ze arena are not vorthy to do so und ze fact zat zey understand zis causes zem to lash out inappropriately." She added as she looked over Adrian.

She got behind the girl and rested her hands on Adrian's shoulders. "Ze maids?" She said. "Ha!" She laughed sharply. "Morrigan is jealous of anyone who can take my attention avay from her vich is almost anyone und Macha vill do as her mistress commands. s commands." She then paused as she would slide a finger up Adrian's neck very carefully. "Und Babd..." She said. "Is indeed strange. I have never met someone so eager to be crushed underfoot..." She said thoughtfully. Lukretia then leaned in so that her hot breath would roll against Adrian's ear. "As for test?" She said in an almost lusty tone. "I vas thinking of something a bit more personal between ze two of us." She said with a smirk.

Almost as if planned, the three maids came bursting into Lukretia's office. "Mistress!" Morrigan called out. Her eyes were in shock as it looked like Lukretia was about to begin a very sensual meeting with Adrian. Lukretia stood up and furrowed her brow. In one graceful swoop, she spun on her heel and backhanded Morrigan who stumbled back until she was caught by Macha.

"Vhy vould you interrupt meine meeting?" She asked in a low but careful tone.

"M-Mistress!" She said pointing to Adrian's back. "Don't listen to that bitch!" She cried. out. "She's some dumb skank who just likes to dress up. She's weak too! We had a spar and even Babd could take her out!"

Morrigan was over exaggerating but she felt she had to. Meanwhile, Babd had her head sticking out from behind Macha's back and she hoped if Adrian turned around that she could make eye contact. She was hoping to be able to at least say hello to her new friend before her ornery mistress made more of a mess of things.

Adrian had to resist every urge to flinch at her boss' touch. It was soft, no doubt but her words kept her on edge. Lukretia was like a cat who'd found a particually interesting mouse, and as her hot breath rolled over the cosplayer, she had decided that it would be more fun to play with her dinner before eating it whole.

She never thought she'd be glad to see those stupid maid costumes.

"Ladies!" She'd say spinning around in her chair to face the maids and Lukretia, her confidence washing back as her backup plan to convince Lukretia to let her join could be put to a completley different purpose "didn't expect to see you here, but since you are how about a little proposition?" She asked, a mischevous smile on her lips. "Since you three seem so confident that your better than me, with maybe the exception of little Babd, hi!" she waved to the smallest maid poking her head around the raven haired one. "As I was saying, maybe for my little test we could have a match, the three of you against me and...hmm, well..." She paused, tapping her finger against her temple before sitting up straight, as though she had the greatest idea in the world.

"You see I have this friend, kind of new to the whole wrestling in japan thing. Old school buddy of mine, she's not that skilled and no where near as agile as me so she'll need all the help she can get really. So how about me and my friend against you 3 maids. I mean since I'm sooo weak even if I had help I wouldn't be a match for the three of you, right?"

"Hiiiii!" Babd said as she waved. Macha quickly put an elbow into her face and she grinned as she stumbled backwards and clutched her nose. "Ha!' Morrigan said. "That's basically two on two." She said and looked at Babd. "But even with Babd I'll take on you and any of your skank friends." She said as she turned up her nose."I'll prove to Mistress that your place is beneath my foot!" She fumed.

Lukretia smirked at the scene. "Oh my." She said as she slid past Adrian and cupped Morrigan's chin. "You are so eager to please, aren't you?" She grinned leaned in and kissed Morrigan. The red head shuddered in delight but Lukretia spun around and looked at Adrian with a wry smile. "Is zis vat you vant?" She asked Adrian. "If so zen it is fine vith me." She said waving her hand. "Und just so I do not grow bored I vill be making it a no disqualifications, tornado match." She grinned. "Just... do vat you vill." She said as she stepped back towards her desk. "Frankly, " She said as she looked back at Adrian. "Ze vinner should be ze one who can crawl back to meine desk under her own power." She said with a wide grin.

Morrigan grinned devilishly at the thought of doing what she wanted to Adrian and whichever chump she brought along with her. "Mistress is so kind." She said as she lowered her head. but raised her eyes to glare hard at Adrian.
