The curse of narrative causality

"Oh yeah, really strong, like think of about... a million mes, stronger than that, I think. Although a million times me still isn't that much, never had much upper body strength, ever. Plenty of leg strength though 'cause I need that for when I start doing flippy shit, although I haven't been able to do that as much, that lionsault I did was like the first springboard thing I've managed to hit in japan and even then if I hadn't worked the arm I'd have never hit it." Adrian rattled off quickly, the alcohol was really starting to get to her now as she took another mouthful from her drink that Cecilia had ordered.

"Oh no! I got it wrong? I'm really really sorry." She apologized just as quickly, realizing her mistake. "But back to Rebecca, knowing my luck she'll come looking for me and see you pouring drinks into me and take the wrong end of the sting and then we'll all be screwed."

"Wait..What...got what wrong?" Cecilia said after she listened to Adrian's words about her friend, she had gotten a slight fascination with this girl, knowing that much of what Adrian said might be exaggerated but still, she seemed interesting, "I think I would like this Rebecca girl....Is she stronger than I am?...how does she look?...ah sorry...we'll save those questions for later Adrian....got any thing else you want to ask me?" Cecilia said before she took the final sip of her whiskey.

"I'm really sorry I called you Finnish instead of Swedish, I didn't mean too..." she continued to apologize to the blonde woman in front of her, losing control her own voice. "You know, if I told you what she looked like, you'd think I was exaggerating something but she is probably way stronger than you, not that you're not strong because you totally are, it's just she is another le.... actually, how much can you bench press? I'm trying to get some degree of context here." she asked "but anyway, enough about Beck's, she's not here tonight: you are. So how did you get into wrestling?"

"It's okay, not that big of a mistake....really..." Cecilia said as she decided to not drink anymore at the moment, placing the empty whiskey glass down on the bar counter, as Adrian talked about Rebecca Cecilia looked on as the girl seemed to maybe have a one drink to much maybe, "What me....well...i don't...know how much...a lot maybe...I mean I think a lot....gotta remember to check that sometime." Cecilia said as she was quite unsure about how much she could bench press, "How did i get into wrestling....well I supposed it's fine to tell you...went to a private school....quite a fancy one....turned out the had a sort of pro-wrestling training going on and a small time underground league....I took a liking to wrestling while in the school and began to wrestle in that little league before i got around to wrestle In other, less underground leagues when I graduated from that place.......Okay my turn to ask something...what to ask...what to ask....oh I know, what's up with the cosplay thing?

"Wow, sounds tough... the underground league thingy I mean. Maybe it's just calling it 'underground' gives it the air of you know..." she said bringing up her hands for air quoting purposes "Undergound. By which I mean illegal, but if it was a fancy school sort of deal I'm sure it was fine, if just really hard training because they had to make money selling tickets." She said, blurting out what she had tried to dance around.

"As for my costumes? I kind of got in to them somewhere in my mid-teens when I went to an anime convention. So many different costumes, I mean my shinigami outfit? Nothing, I saw guys in full suits of armour with really detailed helmets, and I thought it looked awesome, not a lot of other people do though so... yeah, been cosplaying a lot at conventions, later in my wrestling career, my last few months in Philly, I'd thought I'd make that part of my thing and it worked. Just made it a lot harder to do dives and stuff, loads of internet videos of me fucking up some of the more complicated in costume. Word of advice, do not try double rotation moonsaults in a kimono..." She said, "don't know why it gets a bad rep though, kinda frowned upon outside geeky circles."

She took another long sip of her drink, finishing it off. "This Daiquiri stuff's really nice, barkeep! can I get another one of these?"

"Kinda like the whole cosplay thing...but maybe the shinigami outfit is a bit bad for wrestling..It looked GOOD...but not too practical was it?" Cecilia said as she hugged Adrian a bit closer and more tightly, and just looked on as Adrian wanted another drink, a bit worried considering the girl seemed to be a bit drunk already, she figured she would stop Adrian after this drink, "Bartender, give us two....hmm...strawberry Daiquiri's please!"

"Not really... it's the sleeves mainly, it makes me easily grabbed, good for promos, not for actual matches." She confessed, turning a smile to Cecilia as she ordered more drinks "thanks, what are you having?" she asked before taking one of the Daiquiri's for herself.

Cecilia began to to laugh as Adrian told what she though was a joke, "A daiquiri..." Cecilia said as she grabbed the other drink and began to drink it, the sweet taste made her smile, "Don't drink to much now Adrian" Cecilia said before going back to her drink "Your turn, anything you want to ask?"

Adrian tried to stop her drunken self from going "aww..." as Cecilia picked up the other drink "hmm... what to ask," she pondered, trying to think of something "uh... can you help me get back to my apartment?" She guessed, the streets of Tokyo were no place for a drunk young woman to go out on her own, usually Rebecca was enough to send any would-be perverts away. "I mean you probably could crash at my place if there's room although your brother may wonder where you've got to or something?" she purred, pulling herself so she was looking up at her, puppy dog eyes engaged.

"Nah..my brother won't care....or I don't think he will..but fine...sure I'll bring you home...you little lightweight" Cecilia said as she pulled Adrian close for a tight hug once again, "Okay...should we finish these drinks and then we drink on more stronger round, and leave or ?" Cecilia said as she raised her Daiquiri up for a toast, "By the way, heard a rumor about you having a title?...Is that true?" Cecilia asked after the toast as she lowered the drink to take a sip.
