The Savage Queen ~ The Little Girl -o2a-

[Alice]

==========================
Bar Night ~ Date Life
~Morning After~
==========================


The soft caress infects her wounds, tracing the letters bound into the flesh. She hisses in agony before her eyes stare empty into the ceiling above. The sounds of a soft kiss scale up from her wrist, to her shoulder. The canvas the Queen had claimed.

"... I told you.... it's so dangerous here.."

The soft whisper of her sister bounce off of her mind like bullets off of glass. Ana continues her ceaselessness of kissing and dressing the wounds literally -engraved-

"... Your idol did this...."

"......."

"You bitch... you uncaring little spoiled BRAT!!!"

She winces in total agony as Ana digs her nails down against the wounds before spinning and lifting herself from the bed. The morning sun breaks part in the curtains, she stands there with her head hung so ever low. Hurt inside far more than Alice could ever hurt outside.

"... What's wrong with you...."

"You are! You seek some obviously DERANGED chick who's mental status, as per your research shows, is at BEST; as stable as the Berlin FUCKING WALL!! YOU SEEK SOME KIND OF ADVICE OR KNOWLEDGE, LOVE OR HATE FROM SOMEONE LIKE HER?! OVER ME?!?!"

Alice sits up in bed slowly, her right arm throbs with aching pain and desire of revenge and lust - confusion.

.... What did she just say..
Hm...

"... Ana.." Alice hunches in her bed, slowly tightening her fingers around the wounds on her arm. She was crying on the inside, she just didn't understand why. ".. You're my sister... please..... just understand that-"

"SO TRYING TO SEEK OUT SOMEONE LIKE HER MAKES MORE SENSE?! LOOK AT WHAT SHE DID TO YOU FOR FUCK SAKE, HOW IS THAT PART OF FUCKING WRESTLING?? HOW IS THAT SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT!?!"

.. She's furious....
No.. she's hurt. There is a great difference.

"... I.. should go for a while. I have... things to do..." Alice speaks in an empty voice, her face was the lucky one in last nights brawl. The cuts were easily dressed and healed, the feeling of Lessien's fists left an imprint though. Alice had never been in a fight with such reality behind it before. The damage done to her arm would take a considerable amount of time to heal, looks like GCW being off - seasonal was a good thing for once. "... I'll be back tonight....."

Alice drags herself out of her bed, her arm hung low, shoulder slopped. She moves past Ana like a shadow of guilt, a love that could never be returned. She had no idea how bad her mind felt to see her older sister suffer so, all because of her. "......" Alice continues on, she needed to get changed, she needed to go out... her mind, it..

It's... so painful now..
I can't explain it.
Do you think... it's because of what we did to Ana? Or.. cause of Mellie?
Melwasul is the more logical choice.
You like her don't you... you meant what you said last night.
Hm... maybe she likes us, after all.... she gave us an autograph...
But... it's our name..
... Maybe it's not just -ours-.

Alice holds her right arm close, huddling her cheek against it before starting to get changed. Ana remained silent, staring out the window shadow - backed to Alice. She didn't have to say anything, and Alice couldn't see anything... but she was sure. Silent tears were falling, as loud hearts were breaking...

=========================
Downtown Chicago ~ Park
=========================

The wet grass crunched under her boots with each beautiful step she took. Hip hugger denim, sleeveless shirt. The autograph hidden under white wrapped hospital bandages across her right arm. From shoulder to wrist, snow white. Mellie left her mark. "......" Alice was listlessly confused, dazed.. and in a major amount of pain. The side effects of last nights brawl were absolutely devastating, her body ached. It felt like she had been hit by a car that backed up a couple times for good measure.

She won easily last night...
Yep.
.. You're not mad about losing?
No. Melwasul was not my target of physicality.
What are you saying... you're the one who wanted to f-
You're the one who ended up jumping her. It ended us up like this.
.....
Think next time before you act. Melwasul let us live.
You.. really think she would have killed us?....
Sometimes assumptions are safer bets than truth. Less brutal, too.

Alice sits down, more of a slumping motion on a park bench. Her eyes stare out like empty globes, her face looked fine. Make up was a wonderful thing, it LOOKED, fine. It -FELT- like she was wearing a mask of ground hamburger. Lessien's fists of female fury went to town like a jackhammer, it was a bitch. She doesn't even react to a passing dog, tail wagging so happily. If anything... "......." it pissed her off to see someone or something look so happy this morning.

".... GCW. I wonder.... if everyone else, is that brutal... savage, unchained...." Alice shuffles her feet a bit against the freshly cut grass, she brushes her thighs off with her fingers... wincing in pain. The smallest motion of brushing her denim clad thighs off, hurt like no other. The throbbing of her right arm, the pain, the knowledge of what happened and who did it. It was all just... "... Unbearable.."

Why would she do that to us..
It was to prove a point.
W.. what.... what - what possible point could she prove by carving our name into our right arm...?
So naive... Ana's name is on her toothbrush right? Ours is on ours~
.. So?....
T - chhh.... I'm not wasting time to explain such a simple action in life.

["Black Widow" Manami Kuroguchi]

" Yumi...you shouldn't be here...you should be back at home studying...not off gallivanting through a park...YUMI are you even listening to me? "

Walking past the small black cat that was trying to get her to follow orders, Yumi ignores him as she energetically skipped though the city park. She was in Chicago to be a wrestler, she was from Tokyo, Japan...or so she said. All day she had been getting weird looks from people...after all she was dressed in a school girl outfit...well somewhat. Her attire consisted of a pink mask that had teal mesh eye holes and a hole over her mouth, a dress shirt tied off under her...breasts showing her stomach, a pink skirt, wristbands, finger tape, knee high socks and wrestling boots. This was pretty much all she ever wore.

Continuing to ignore her talking cat, she just continues blissfully skipping through the park until she comes upon a park bench inhabited by Alice. Not paying attention her either for the moment, she finally looks down at the cat.

" What you party pooper? I'm just here having a little fun exploring."

Looking up at her, the cat gives her what could best be described as a feline version of a frown.

" But you're supposed to be studying...you do have grades to keep up too... "

Rolling her eyes under her mask, she lets out an exacerbated sigh.

" Is that all you ever think of? I wish they would have given me a cool guardian...instead I'm stuck with a lame duck...err...cat... "

" Well if you studied more...I wouldn't be so hard on you and I would let you 'have fun' "

Rolling her eyes again, she finally looks over at the girl sitting with her. Yumi loved meeting new people, especially if they were what she considered fun. Which was generally very immature. Getting a little over excited, she introduces herself.

" HAI!!! I'M Yumi and this is my cat Halley...he's a party pooper...wanna have fun? "

[Alice]

"... Mmm.. ?" Alice raises her head shortly before her eyes widen-

Holy, shit.
... Wh.. at...
Oh no, you can't hide that. I felt it. You're sick Alice, you're just sick.
...! N-no... that's not...
You can chastise me for giving Melwasul a long glance, but your heart nearly jumped out through our chest when you saw the pied piper of Sailor Moon and... you're not even listening to me, are you?
.... Huh?
... Good God....

".... Mm.. hello, Yumi...." Alice smiles half openly, her body wouldn't allow much more effort than that right now. Her eyes scanned quickly, the cat.. the, cat.

She has a cat...
Yes. But I'm -AMAZED- you noticed the cat over her half exposed globes, Alice.
.. S-shut... shut up.. least I'm not a masochist...

"... Well hello... Halley.." Alice smiles weakly at the cat, she takes in a half breath before her attention is drawn back to Yumi. She smiles again, a bit forced. Anything to stop blood from rushing to her face and making her light up like a christmas tree. "My name is Alice... it's nice to meet someone who's... of the same... profession..." Lie. Alice hadn't even signed yet, she hadn't even tried out yet. She hadn't even had a practice match against anyone outside of her trainer. Lie. ".. I'm going to assume you're here for GCW... right?... Heh.. the mask kind of gave it away..."

You're so bad at this.
Shut up! I'm not good with talking to girls...
Why, you were the one who said someone's gender doesn't matter.
What.. you don't agree?
Of course I do, but at least -I- can talk to both sexes without my palms getting sweaty.

Alice quickly rubs her palms against her jeans before smiling again up at Yumi. Mask wearing schoolgirl plad, Yumi. "You look... kind of young to be wrestling Yumi..." Lie. Alice was only twenty years old, with Yumi's mask on - she couldn't be sure of the girls age. Yumi's BODY however, something Alice was keeping a good eye or two on, seemed to still be growing. This is not to say it was underdeveloped

You so, blow at chatting girls up.
I said shut up!

["Black Widow" Manami Kuroguchi]

Clapping excitedly that she finally had someone to talk to, Yumi replies as Halley suspiciously eyes Alice.

" Yeah, I'm here to wrestle...it's really fun. It's my favorite thing to do besides watching anime and saving the world. "

Not noticing Alice looking her body over, Yumi continues talking excitedly.

" You're a wrestler too? That's so cool, do you know Uni-man? He's SO cool...he's like my favorite. "

[Alice]

She's here to save the world.
Shut up... it's kind of cute.
Cute? She needs more therapy than -WE- do.
You don't know that, maybe it's her gimmick. There have been worse ones in the past.
True, true.
Hey... who's Uni - Man?
He's one of the more... colorful wrestlers to come out of Japan.
So you know of him then right, tell me information so I can look intelligent.
..... ;D
H-hey... come on!~

"... Mm.. I'm... going to be a wrestler, at least.... I'm quite new to everything so.. it should be a trial... it's nice to meet someone who's so upbeat and happy..." Alice smiles at Yumi before her eyes shift down to Halley.

... Her cat is looking at us.
Animals have heightened senses about things.
H... hey wait!... You don't.. you don't think the cat.... knows, do you?
Alright, lets say, for gags - the cat does know. What would the cat -know-, Alice?
Well... you know.. that you're here too and stuff....
... Good lord, I need my own body.

"... Uni - Man huh.... that's a interesting name.. I hate to admit it, but when I came to Chicago - most of my research was on the female division. You know, trying to find out who would be here..... who might be here, stuff like that.. but, the name alone sounds really facisnating...."

Seriously, this is a God damn catastrophe right here.
Hey... what did you mean your own body.. you don't like it here anymore?....
... Jesus fucking Christ Alice.

"Why don't you tell me about him Yumi..." Alice smiles softly at the energetic Yumi, truth be told she'd probably ask to know about seventeen different kinds of Wasabi if it kept Yumi talking to her. Stereotype aside and such, she was quite stricken with the bouncy -

Heh... bouncy.
S-shut up!

["Black Widow" Manami Kuroguchi]

Halley couldn't tell what exactly was off about Alice, but he could tell there was something weird about her. He just couldn't put his paw on it, Yumi on the other hand didn't really care. She had someone who wanted to talk to her so she was happy.

" He's SOOOO cool, he's only like the greatest superhero EEEEVER! He has this awesome pink mohawk, and horn. He saves the world all the time, he's the one that inspired me to become a hero myself. To stand up for the weak and down trodden, to shine the light of justice on the evildoers of the world. "

Standing up, she tries to strike a heroic pose but falls flat on her face inadvertently giving Alice an up skirt view of her teal panties.

[Alice]

".............."

Hm.. not bad.
... W-.. h- hey! You don't get to look at her like that!!!
Alice, we share the same eyes It isn't, -my- fault... you happened to direct them, there.
That... that's...
Pathetic, is the word I'm using.

"......." Alice's eyes were, well. They were staring blindly wildly up Yumi's skirt. Now.. I'd like to inform people, upskirt chasers are bad, bad people of society. That being said, when the situation presents -ITSELF-...

Total fucking excuse.
You were the one who enjoyed fighting with Mellie!
-YOU'RE- the one who's looking up 'Yumi - Chan's' skirt!!
... Yumi Chan.... it just flutters off of your tongue doesn't it...
Sweet, Mericful, Mother, Fucker.

"... Y-... you don't say... that's... that's something, right there... I tell you..." Alice swallows hard before yanking her attention span -AWAY- from Yumi's backside. She looks up at the sky while clearing her throat. Beautiful day, beautiful day. "Superhero... the world needs some of those these days.... place wasn't like it used to be.. things have changed..." Alice lowers her gaze slightly to the horizen, she sighs softly before staring down at... the cat. Halley. "........"

He's staring at us again...
You just looked up his owners skirt, -I'D- be staring at you too.
Y-yeah... guess you're right...

Alice sheepishly smiles at Halley, she waves her fingers in place. A half assed sign of -everything's okay-. Lie. She cocks her head to the side before staring a little closer at Halley. Beautiful eyes. Beautiful... odd... eyes. "Mmm... so he's your role model then.. that's really cool. It's nice to have someone to look up-... uh.. I, yeah... it's nice to have someone you admire Yumi. If he's a really good superhero, than I'm sure you'll make a fine one too..." She smiles at the fallen, ungraceful Yumi. Scratching her left check sheepishly with her fingernail.

I'm filing a protest to this.
... Huh?
I demand my own body This is brutal.
Shut up... you love it here
You don't know me lol

["Black Widow" Manami Kuroguchi]

Shaking it off, Yumi climbs to her feet and brushes her clothes off. Sitting back down, she laughs at herself then acts like she never fell flat on her face.

" Thank you Alice, so--we've talked enough about me...I wanna hear about you. What are your plans here in Chicago? Where are you from? I wanna know as much as I can about my new friend. "

As Yumi babbles on, Halley continues to try and figure out what exactly was odd about Alice. He couldn't though. Losing interest, he trods off to go sleep under a tree. He was a cat after all.

[Alice]

Isn't that cute. She wants to know more about you. I can feel the love blossoming like the famed Sakura Trees.
You're so mean... she's just trying to find out about people here for GCW.. just like you wanted too.
Mhm mhm, the next time you compare -ME- to little miss twinkle toes, I'll remove a finger from one of -YOUR- hands.

"Mmm... I'm from Blackpool, in England. I don't have any real wrestling experience...."

Unless you count Melwasul's -date night- with us.
Mellie was so violent... I didn't know that's the kind of bar room brawl Anthony always talked about...

"I've been... in training for two years.. on my 18th birthday, on the way home.. I saw some guys wrestling in a local pub. It didn't look like the... proper or, olympic jest - style of wrestling I'd seen on the internet. It looked more... primal. It was very interesting to me.. so I did some research on it and stuff... and well, here I am in Chicago..." Alice smiles at Yumi, she looks down for a second to the ground. Her boots nicking at the blades of grass. "... I'm not fully sure I can really make it in to be perfectly honest Yumi... but, I'll try anyway." She smiles, the pain in her right arm however seems to have returned. The damage Lessien had performed in her oh so ruthless manner was just... brutal.

.... It really hurts..
Yes, who knew someone carving five letters into our arm would hurt so very much... good Lord Alice.
But.. it will heal right..
Yes, give it some time. It'll hurt for a while though, just keep the medical bandages around it for now.

"My plans?... Hmmm, I guess I don't really have many except... well, just make it.. maybe that falls under hopes. Hah..." She laughs sheepishly, her eyes moving quickly to the now, sleeping Halley, and back again. It was somewhat sad when you thought about it, she was getting nervous around a cat.

... You sure it's okay?..
Alice, for God sake.. it's a cat. Unless it stands upright and starts talking to us? I think we're good.

["Black Widow" Manami Kuroguchi]

" I hope you get in, so we can have fun in the ring together. "

Yumi legitimately had fun in the ring, win or loss.

" If you're good, they will have no choice but to let you in. "

[Alice]

Only problem is the kind of -fun- you mean and the kid of -fun- she means are so entirely different.
Shut up!

"I hope so too Yumi.. it would be nice to be able and have a friend here in Chicago..." Alice smiles again at Yumi, her energetic personality was quite uplifting. It didn't make Alice forget -EVERYTHING- that had transpired, but it was still a nice change from depression disturbing atmospheric tension.

"So... you said aside from saving the world... you liked anime, right?" Alice smiles again, she wanted to learn more about Yumi's hobbies-

You're so full of shit I'm amazed our eyes aren't brown.
Hey! I'm trying to be nice!
You're trying to find a common hobby so you can sleep with her.
You- you shut up! You know I don't have that kind of confidence!
Exactly, which means you'd make me do it, and I can tell you right now; Hell no. All kinds of hell no, forty seven different varieties of -Hell No- now on sale in -Mad Hatter & Associates Marketplace-

"I like forms of art myself... anime is really just another form of modern art if you think about it..." Alice tries to distract herself from the fact that her right arm feels like it's moving around under her skin. The sadistic Lessien and her sadistic glass enduced autograph were long lasting indeed.

This is bru ~ tal.
You're just moody.

["Black Widow" Manami Kuroguchi]

" Anime is SO ICHIBAN!!! Especially that hunk Inuyasha...he is SO DREAMY!!! With his long white hair and those cute dog ears. "

Yumi had a slight problem telling reality from fantasy at times...like most of the time...

[Alice]

Inu... wha..
... Why are you looking at me?!
W-well it's just you know more stuff than I do....
Hey, I resent the fuck out of that. She's talking about anime there sailor scout, you should be more apt to understand what the fuck she means.

Alice smiles at Yumi... confused.

Well it's at least a mutt of some kind.
Huh... ?
The suffix -Inu- usually means a K9, and she mentioned -cute dog ears-. So it's a mutt of some kind.
O- oh... right..

"That's cute... you have a little crush on a cartoon character..." Alice smiles at Yumi-

Anime.
Huh.. what now?
You said cartoon character, anime. There's a difference.
... There is?...
To fans there is, these people are like Trekkies. If you fuck with their -Gods of Worship- they're likely to tie you up and hang you with sardine cans above a pack of wild strays in a downtown alley somewhere.
W-.. wha.... I...

"Mmmm... anime character... white hair huh, that kind of sounds cute too..." Alice rubs her palms against her lap before leaning back a bit in the park bench. Talking with Yumi was calming her down, which was greatly needed at this time considering shit was going to hell. She glances over at Halley still taking his cat nap before turning back to face Yumi. "Hey... Yumi..... why are you wearing a mask...? I mean, I know that to save the world you need a secret identity and everything.... but.. don't superheros usually have a whole costume..."

You're dense.
I thought it was a good question...
You idiot, that -IS- her costume.

["Black Widow" Manami Kuroguchi]

" ...But Inuyasha is real...I've seen him, I've gotten his autograph even. "

Thinking about the costume question, Yumi giggle and replies.

" This is my costume...and my wrestling attire...and my everyday clothes. "

As Yumi was talking Halley was still sitting under the tree, watching Alice from a far. Something about her made him want to latch on to her face and scratch her eyes out.

[Alice]

Awww - do you see, do you see?! I -TOLD- you she needed more therapy than we did.
Th-... that doesn't prove anything... she must mean she met the actor..
... It's an anime character Alice. The voice actors don't dress up to sit in a booth and talk into a flat mic disc!
.. M- maybe she went to a convention or something....
THEN ISN'T THAT PROOF IN ITSELF SHE NEEDS MORE THERAPY THAN -WE- DO?!
L- LOTS OF PEOPLE GO TO ANIME CONVENTIONS YOU KNOW!!!
NOT WITH A SCREWIER MENTAL STATUS THAN THE FREAKIN' WRITERS!!!

"That's... wonderful Yumi.. it must be great to be able and dress up all the time...." Alice smiles sheepishly, she -would- try to gauge on average how stable Yumi seemed to be... however, those whom live in Glass Houses, ought not to be throwing rocks

Hm..
What's wrong?...
I'm not sure.. Alice, I think I just realized something, something very important...
W- what is it... what's going on.. did I do something again.....
No. I think the problem is more of... how do I put that..
... Mmmm.. ?
Ah, yes... YOU'RE A GOD DAMNED VIRUS ON THE DNA SUB - STREAM OF SOCIETY!!
.. W- wh...
You're THINKING, ABOUT SLEEPING WITH THE MASKED NACHO SAILOR LIBRE!!!
Y.. YOU... YOU WANTED TO SLEEP WITH MELLIE!!!
Hm... touche.

".. A- anyway... Yumi.. it was very nice meeting you... I need to... go handle something now. I'm staying here...." Alice takes a small piece of paper out of her jean pocket, already the hotel suite and location written down on it. She had made a couple in case she managed to... sad as it sounds, find an agent or manager in her search. She hands the small note to Yumi with a smile. "I'll be there later on.. I don't know the suite number.. but if you ask at the front desk I'm sure they'll give it to you... I hope we can talk again soon. Say bye to Halley for me..." Alice slowly stands up, her head throbbing, her arm pulsing. Pain, pain, pain pain pain. She waves slightly at Yumi before slowly making her way from the park...

Hey, not bad Alice.
What do you mean?...
You managed to give a girl your address withou- AWWWW DUDE, WHAT THE FUCK?!

Alice had turned the corner before tossing her cookies so to speak. It wasn't just the stress of talking to a girl in such a private matter, it was also heavily pain induced. She wipes her lips off before spitting out a little bit, clearing her throat and walking on, head held high with... at least, -some- self confidence.

... Dude... what, the, fuck.
... I'm okay..
