"See I learned something now

I like that, being able to learn stuff about this before even getting into it. My friend talks about the wrestler over in Japan a lot, I've just never seen any. I do get the general idea that it basically makes most things over here, look like child's play though. I think I want to change that. I mean if I DO manage to get a job up in GCW, like you said Kimmy, I'd want it to be more of real wrestling compared to... well everything else on this half of the planet. I mean I have no problem dressing up in skimpy clothing for a paycheck and either getting beat the hell out of, or beating the hell out of another woman. If it gets men all happy and shit, it's an after thought image of success.

For me the job would be for money, and a form of exercise. I'm not a wrestler, it's really that simple. I'm sure Dez here and some others take this deadly serious because it's their life. It's what they are and what they do, that's fine for them. I wasn't born into this, I wasn't born FOR this. It's like an interest of mine I want to pursue you know? Maybe someday it will be like, my life. I don't know, all I know is the only way it could become that important... is if I do it."

[Kimberly Masters]

Non of has started like that Becca. Non of us was born in this business … well except second or even third generation wrestlers from who the whole family is in this business … but that is not so common. Most people start as fan … love to see wrestling and then want to try it out as well … like you said as some sort of hobby but then … after some time the hobby changed … it becomes a passion. Something you love to do … I mean I also never thought that I would end up in the wrestling business … I thought I would lead a major company not some sort of sport show. But hey … we will see how much your interest will change.

[darkstarr]

"Sounds like a plan to me

Can't judge something I don't know about without being involved in it."

Becca jabs at the shrimp cocktail a couple times, twirling her fork. She was glad such a rare chance had been lobbed into the air above her... but in order to spike it, she'd need the right kind of training and mind set. Thankfully, Dez was willing to provide one aspect. Becca would have to find her own mind set though.... not something you could classify as "easy". She runs her fingers about the sides of her hair a bit, combing some of it back with her fingers as she sighs a bit under her breath.

"Well, in a way I guess kind of running a wrestling company is a big business thing right Kimmy? I'm sure publicity and money and fame and all that are parts of the job description. Oh hey, you got the time on you Kimmy?"

[Kimberly Masters]

Well I am just General Manager of one of the shows, it is not directly that way that I am leading the company. A higher power position, yes … but not much more. But they money is of course not so bad … but at the moment it is not as much work as it will be when the roster is finalized. Then the real work starts … working with the “stars” of the wrestling business together … or at least wrestlers who think they are the stars but when you put them against a real opponent they suddenly shut up and rather want to hide before some damage to their self made image happens.

Kimberly place the cup of coffee latte on her lips and drinks the remaining rest. Placing the cup back at the table, Kim quickly looks at her watch before she turns her attention back to Becca and Dez.

And I got all the time in the world. But I think I should leave you and Dez alone now so that you two can talk about the training.

[darkstarr]

"Well...

I thank you for all the advice and help you've given me already Kimmy. I'm sure I'll be seeing more of you if I manage to make it into GCW. I've very thankful. Take care of yourself alright?"

Becca picks up one of the napkins and dabs her lips a bit before smiling over at Kimmy. Training huh.... yeah, Becca had a whole lot of that on her mind, that's what kind of worried her. She rolls up her sleeves again, stretching her neck out a bit before going back to jabbing at shrimp with her fork. Becca was kind of in a daze, more of a surrealism that had swept her for most of the day. A lot of information to take in all at once you know?

"Me and Dez should be fine for a bit. We will come by and visit like you suggested soon, might as well since it's opening soon anyway right? Makes sense to me. Depends on what you think Dez, but I'll be going either way. I figure it's a good idea to get a feel of the place since...

I've never done this before in a real serious format. I'm sure you and Kimmy are plenty used to all of this since she's a General Manager and you've been doing this for what was it again... three years? But yeah, thanks a lot Kimmy."

[Kimberly Masters]

No problem … but now if you would excuse me I will be leaving you two alone now. And please don’t forget to show up in December to get a contract.

Kimberly says and stands up from her chair. She reach in the pocket of her long coat and takes out a small case. Kim opens it and takes out a few coins, which she place on the table next to the empty cup of coffee latte.

Ciao

Kim says and starts to walk around the tables to get out of the property of the café. Walking back to the tower … Kim is thinking about what surprises may lay in front of her in the next couple of weeks.

[darkstarr]

"So...

You sure you can help me out with my moves Dezzy?"

Becca waves at Kimmy as she leaves her and Dez to be somewhat more alone than previously accepted. Still a public place, but you get the idea. She flips her hair back a bit, turning her chair into the side of the table a bit more. Facing Dez a bit better, she smiles at him as she bites down onto another piece of shrimp. She crosses her leg over her knee under the table, bouncing it a bit as she softly and quietly chews through more poor departed seafood.

"I don't want like... you to think you have to do everything for me you know? I know I'm going to have to stand up and fall back down on my own a whole lot in all of this. I just wanted you to know this whole being willing to train me thing means a lot to me...

.. If there's ever anything I could do to help you out just let me know okay? I don't know like.... well whatever you know? My mind's real buzzed right now, can't think of any real situation you'd actually need my help but... yeah. You have my number."

[<~The Shooting Starr~>]

I'm more then positive that I'll be able to help get some more moves into your arsenal. I'm pretty sure, once we get going, you'll catch right up to me and possibly even surpass me in a short time. If theres anything I know, it's wrestling.

Multiple images flash through his mind as he contemplates just what she could help him with. Some mild, some not so mild. In the end, without even flinching, he says what matters most of them all

As for helping me in any way. I'm sure just training with someone again and shaking off some of the rust, will be help enough. Other then that, someone to stand by, be a good close friend and bear with me and this damn memory loss, thats all I need.

I mean.. I could use love and all that mooshy stuff, but I'm sure someone of your stature isn't exactly revved up and ready to just, settle on a relationship when your getting into a new endeavor like this. Honestly, sometimes it's the worst thing you can do. Be in this business, and in love. You always seem to find yourself in compromising situations, or always playing "rescue" because someone else has found the one weakness you have in the game. A heart.

I'm sorry, I'm rambling now. I'm just glad to have someone to socialize and train with.

Awkward much? Wow, Dez really let it loose there. He probably just scared the poor girl off with that not so subtle lunge at the personal heart strings.
THIS wasn't what Dez was about. Not in his past atleast. The present time? Maybe the old hard heads got a soft spot for Becca Crowley?

[darkstarr]

"....

Haha, that's kind of cute. You're like, trying to get all of your thoughts out at once and just end up tripping over your own words. That's cute. I don't know anything about the business of wrestling, but I do know something about business itself. Having a warm spot usually creates like you said, a weakness. You kind of sound like you know what you're talking about though Dezzy.... you've been doing this for three years, maybe you've been in love in this business before?....

I guess it wouldn't totally be out of the realm of possibility right? Falling in love while in a high pressure career. It's probably stupid, but I'd bet it's a lot more of a common stupid mistake people make opposed to say tripping up while walking UP stairs. I mean think about it right, you're in a job that causes high pressure right? On the road a lot, tons of pressure about winning this or that match, this or that title. Dealing with all of the pressure of people watching pretty much any move you make as soon as you step foot on the company property. I can imagine it'd make someone retreat into a shell... and look for someone else to pull them out. Right? I don't know, but.... I'm sure it's got to be hard.

As for me? Well... I'm single right now. Previous relationships I've had haven't really been able to deal with my um.... roommate. See I live with.... well.. a rabbit. He's my pet, so... yeah but most guys can't deal with him since I'm um..... really.. really protective of him. So I guess that kind of freaks people out or something, but you know.... that's how life goes."

[<~The Shooting Starr~>]

They can't handle a rabbit?
How is that possible? It's only a rabbit right? Not like it's some mutant 20 foot rabbit that devours the neighbours pets or anything. I mean, whats the worst that could happen with a rabbit. I'm sure the guys probably just didn't like playing second fiddle and being number two in your life.

He couldn't help but smile and laugh at the idea of men being intimidated by a rabbit

As far as I can remember, I've been in love once while in this business. Just when I was starting out. The girl was someone I grew up with, so we were close before the stress began. We were both in the business, but working for different companies.
Didn't last long though, not seeing eachother for three quarters of the year took it's toll on us both, so it was only natural we decided to go our seperate ways. We're still friends though, atleast I think we are.. I know this watch I wear still has her name engraved on it..

He takes it off and flips it over, reading it outloud

All my love
~Duranda~
♥

[darkstarr]

"Yeah Chester is... unique."

Becca leans over the table a bit to look at the watch, she looks at the engravement and smiles a bit before sitting back down in her seat. See that was cool, Dezzy was still friends with an ex of his. Showed maturity. She only wishes she could have kept a couple friendships with past relationships, never worked out to well. Becca sighs a bit before shaking her head and resting her elbows on the edge of the table.

"That's really cool Dez, that you're able to stay friends with someone you used to be with. I haven't had the best of luck with friendships after a relationship to much. I'm guessing, if you two didn't see each other a whole lot she worked at a different promotion? Since I'd assume if you two were both in wrestling and in the SAME place, travel time and placing would be the same right?

I hope...

I think.....

... Maybe

Anyway! I think it's really cool you and Duranda are still close. Or... kind of close. Very pretty name too, Dur-an-da. I like that."
