Recovering (O2A)

[Lessien Melwasul]

I'm sure Selma feels the same way. No wait, that wasn't her name. Shelly? Shelby? Melba? Who ever it is you decided to kill your time with until that same time finally strips me of the title. You clever little thing you.

~That had to be it, didn't it?~

I wouldn't really care if it didn't effect me. But your little feel good, reach down program has left me facing the likes of Veranica Styles and Angel Storm. Both of which only have one thing going for them, cool names.

~Alice dug deep into her pockets, rocking on her heels.~

Yes, you've really hurt me Lover and kind of pissed me off at the same time.

~That was an accomplishment?~

What did I ever do to you?

~There was that grin again.~

[Jennifer Drew]

Oh… God. I actually kinda feel guilty now.

She looks down at the ground, ashamed.

I mean if I would have realized how things were going to turn out I would have, you know really went at it. Hit the trail hard. But this whole Shelby Steele thing, I don’t know. Nice comparing her to those little pieces of toast by the way, I won’t steal it out of respect, but it was a great mental image. We’ve kind of got this whole souls, inextricably bound thing going on right now, very annoying.

Big sigh, and cue cautious optimism.

But hey, this could still work out. You could make it a triple-threat title vs. name match. Huh? How’s that sound Angel Styles-Storm?

[Lessien Melwasul]

Now you're just trying to make me feel better. I'm sure that works most of the time too, but I'm not buying.

~Betty turned on the same heels Alice had been rocking on.~

Nope. You broke it and you can't fix it. We'll just have to hope and pray that I come out of Mind Games with my title and name in the right place. Of course, either way? I'm going to hate you more. Probably hurt you more too.

~Alice pulls out a crumpled pack of Lucky Strikes.~

Cigarette?

[Jennifer Drew]

Well, those do make you look pretty cool… nah, I’ll pass, but thanks for the offer. Really nice of you to do that after I went and offended you like that. I guess it’s going to suck that you’re going to have to hurt me now, but what are you going to do? Fight back like some gibbering lunatic?

Resigned for a moment, she starts to shrug her shoulders but stops in the middle.

Actually that’s not a bad plan…

An entire workflow of how that would go down starts forming but she manages to stop herself before it gets out of hand.

Wait, what were we talking about? Oh, right yeah you make sure you hang on to that belt and then we’ll see about all the rest.

[Lessien Melwasul]

Dreaming of you, Lover.

~Alice sighs before the long voyage.~

~Betty gives a farewell glance to 187.~

One Hundred And Eighty Seven. You keep the damnedest company I've ever seen.

~She nods farewell and walks away. She had a flight to Miami to catch after all.~

[Shelby Danes]

Shelby let out a sigh as she was taking the elevator, the elevator music completely annoying her. She had a slight headache, and wasn't exactly feeling in the moment, so to speak. As the door opened, she rubbed shoulders with Lessian as she walked out. "Sorry, sorry," she responds quietly, not noticing who she was. "Completely my fault."

Continuing to walk her way down to the main entrance, she notices Jennifer Drew, along with company she never met before. Figuring they haven't personally talked with each other since their meeting at the cafe around two months ago, Shelby decided to try and shrug off her headache, and perhaps enjoy the company. "Hey Jennifer," she greets herself, with a weak smile, brushing her hand against her hair. "Long time no talk, eh?" She then turns her attention to the 187. "And I don't believe we've met, I'm Shelby Steele, pleasure to meet you."

[Jennifer Drew]

Jennifer waves her into the group.

Hey Shelby, come on over. This is one of my friends from way back the Notorious 187. Or just 187, or 7 or Murda or whatever you want to call him. 7 this is Shelby Steele and she’s kind of my arch nemesis at this point.

She gives her an evil stare for a second but can’t keep herself from laughing partway through.

So, what’s new?

[Shelby Danes]

Shelby tiredly rubs her left eye, "Nothing too much. I was just about to head home to get myself some rest. I don't even remember why I'm even in this building at the moment." She nervously smiled as she nodded her heard towards 187, and then back towards Drew "So, Magneto, how about yourself?" She softly laughs at herself, as apparently, she claimed herself to be Professor X.

[Jennifer Drew]

She smiles at both of them hoping to make the whole encounter seem a little looser and less tense.

Oh, you know just the usual radical separatism. That and getting ready for the next go round I guess, getting myself back to normal after last week. And networking, you just missed a great opportunity but I’m sure you’ll get a chance soon enough.

Interesting encounter with Lessien. Everytime he sees her, it proves to be interesting. This was no different. He let the two talk and Lessien had taken her leave. Now it appears that someone new had joined them. A Shelby Steele. Her arch nemesis, she says. Yet, they sit here and talk like friends. Strange. Unless it was just a joke. Probably was. Anyone with a true arch nemesis would be at their enemy's throat. Oh well. He sat there. Watching the the two talk. Not too sure what to say. He had no clue what they were talking about. He didn't know Shelby. So what could he say? He couldn't comment on their subject at the moment. He knew nothing about it. He figured he'd keep his silence and just sit back and hang out. See who this Shelby Steele is.

[Shelby Danes]

Shelby gave her a confused look, "Opportunity?"

[Jennifer Drew]

Jennifer points in the direction Lessien just went off in.

Uh, yeah. You didn’t see Miss Top Debutante just walk through here? Or have I desensitized you to women with unnatural hair? The two of us just had a little back and forth a second ago. You’d like her… well… I mean I think she’s pretty cool.

[Shelby Danes]

"Oh shit," Shelby whispered to herself as the memory of the person she just rubbed shoulders with just quickly flashed in her mind. "I'm such an idiot" Softly laughing to herself, she places her hands on her hips, shaking her head. "I swear, I just don't see things, even when they're right in front of me. Then again, I'm rather distracted to say the least." She places her hand on her forehead, as try and settle down a lingering headache. "I'm sure she's quite the personality, her promos are really interesting; damn. I should have been here earlier, we, as in, all three of us, could have really planned something together."

[Jennifer Drew]

She shakes her head on that.

Doubt it. She seems more like the force of nature fly by the seat of her hot pants type of girl to me. Probably not going to go out for a latte and compare notes with someone looking to take her out.

She’d probably just laugh, do that cool talking to herself thing, take a nice long drag and disappear into the haze of her own cigarette smoke if you even offered.



Damn, I have to figure that out, how hot would it be to do that?

But enough about her, we’ll deal with that when it comes. So, is everything OK with you?

[Shelby Danes]

Shelby nods, "Other then this slight headache, am as fine as can be. I was just about to head home, and relax a bit. At the moment, I don't seemed to be a scheduled for a match this week, so I figured I would give myself a little break time before our match next weekend. I still haven't fully recovered for that little beating you gave me. You were damn brutal in that match. But you never know, the card is always subject to change. I can still wrestle, just probably won't be as smooth as usual." She nurses her head a bit as she says this, the steel pole still left it's mark.
