*It has been a while since she has graced the halls of Sakura-Shoujo Stampede with her presence, but the ‘White Devil’ Bodhi is back in town, preparing herself for her upcoming debut. The first big card of the organization kicks off on October 28th- The Sakura Saturday Genesis. With a lot on the line, and a lot to prove too, each woman is going to be fighting for their place in history- to become the first Genesis Champion, or potentially the first ever TV Champion. A lot to gain, a lot to lose. We find Bodhi in her suite, nicely situated on the west side of the building, overlooking the busy streets below.*
“Oh it's been a long, long day….maybe there is something good on TV.”
*Sitting by the window in her comfy shorts and tshirt only, she stares endlessly at the sights below. After a moment, she walks to the bed and hits the remote, turning on the TV. The first channel is nonsensical, a bunch of people dressed like octopus’ trying to run up a hill. She changes channel; the next is a castle of sorts, with people being shot at by cannonballs.*
“This place is weird.”
*She changes channel again, to a game show where to contestants are holding either end of a clear plastic tube in their mouth, and in the center is a cockroach. A bell chimes, and both contestants try frantically to blow the roach into the other's mouth.*
“What is the name of-”
*A knock on the door disturbs her from the show. She walks over to open the door, and is greeted by a very smiley, yet somewhat odd looking woman. She is wearing a wolf-hat, which catches Bodhi’s eye immediately.*
“Heya….yeah the wolfe hat. I call it ‘wolfie’. Had it years! Dad got it for me at a fair a loooong time ago,a nd I haven’t parted ways with it since! It’s my fave!!”
*Bodhi looks at her with a vague expression.*
“OH! Where are my manners….I’m Karin. Karin Wholfe. Just like the hat! Haha, but for real, that's my name.”
“Uh….Hi, Karin….what can I do for you?”
*Karin makes her way into the room, uninvited. She walks right to the middle, taking it all in.*
“Wow, they gave you one of the BIG rooms! Nice! And you got a sick view too! That’s awesome!”
*Karin turns around, to an approaching, non-impressed Bodhi. Even in just shorts and a torn up t-shirt, Bodhi looks more menacing than expected.*
“Hey, don’t worry, I’m not just some wacko stranger! Wait….maybe I am?....but let's change that! I’m part of the SSS crew, I was sent here to do your first interview, get your initial reaction to the company, see how you’re feeling ahead of your match this saturday, etcetera etcetera. I’m here to do your first promo!”
“You work for SSS?”
“I sure do!”
“Hmm….I met with Yuuko before, she seemed more……”
“Uptight?”
“...professional. Together......‘Normal’.”
“Oh I assure you that I am professional. And I am holding it together! The normal part...nah, that’s not me, hahaha!”
*Still unimpressed, Bodhi takes a seat on the edge of the bed.*
“Sorry...Karin? I just got in from a crazy 20 hour flight, and I’ve had my hands full the past few days…”
“Oh I know all about it. Your client Hyperion suffered his first proper loss on Sunday, and by the looks of it he’s in a bad way. The End of Day’s tournament has you working overtime, making sure your bookings are in and your other clients get their spots. And to top it off, your home has turned into some temple of worship right now….did I miss anything….?”
“Uh….no, you got it. Spot on actually.”
“Look, I don’t want to bug you in you’re not ready, but the day is fast approaching, and we do want each contender’s input for the night….so, how about a few quick questions?”
“Uh, I don’t know, maybe not right now-”
*Karin opens a bag on her hip, and pulls out a Hershey's Milkshake.*
“WHERE DID YOU GET THAT!”
“This? I LOVE these! There’s a shop that imports them not too far from here.”
“I have been looking EVERYWHERE for those!”
“Here, take mine! Unopened and fresh from the fridge!”
*Karin tosses the milkshake to Bodhi, who immediately opens the bottle and starts gulping down the delicious chocolatey goodness. No kidding, those milkshakes are the BOMB.*
“Oh baby that's good….”
“Right! I love those, so so good.”
“OK Karin, you have won me over for now, what are these questions you wanted to ask?”
“Oh, nothing major, just wanted a heads up about this weekend. Here, let me bring out by ‘tools’.....”
*Karin walks to the bed and empties her bag- the contents are a bizarre collection of random trinkets, toys, unusual make-up and one really, really awesome steampunk watch. Bodhi picks it up and stares at it intensely…*
“You like that?”
“Like it? I have the EXACT same one!”
“No way! I LOVE steampunk gear! You must show me your collection some day, I’m just starting out but I’ve been picking up pieces from this little boutique down the……..”
*The two women enter a massive conversation about fashion and clothing, and time passes them by. They end up moving from the room and walking the building together, Karin giving Bodhi the full tour. The come to a hallway, which Karin points out a curtain.*
“See those curtains? That's the gorilla position. That is where you will be entering from. Wanna see?”
“Do I!”
*The two women make their way to the curtain, and through to the stage area. The production team is still in place, setting up the chairs for the crowd, fixing the screens and making sure everything is in working order. Ahead of them is the ring, primed and ready to go for Saturday. The two women walk down to the ring, and climb in. Bodhi walks around, taking in the sights, the sounds, feeling the ropes and snapping them, squeezing the padding on the turnbuckle…*
“How does it feel, being in the ring?”
“It feels….surreal….I see Hype do it all the time, and he’s used to fighting. But it even throws him off a little sometimes. I’ve only been in the ring once in my whole life….”
“Against Kuroi Yami….”
“Yeah, THAT bitch….I was so nervous. So afraid. Not of her, but of the crowd. Of the fans. Of everything, really. I have been in so many bar fights and brawls, and I can hold my own. But being in the ring, that was something different...humbling, even.”
“...I watched that fight. You sure did look nervous.”
“Yeah...and that weird bitch kicked my ass then, which didn’t help.”
“Speaking of Kuroi and that match, would you fight her again?”
“Oh, in a heartbeat! She took me off guard, my first ever time being in one of these. She is seasoned and I was brand new. And hey, I almost won it too! But I wasn’t 100%, and she knew that.”
“How are you feeling about this weekend? Going up against Cici Dupree for your SSS debut.”
“I don’t know how to feel, I don’t really know much about her only for what clips I could find on YouTube.”
“Well, she’s good. Not unbeatable, but not one to be taken lightly. She has been wrestling for years, and she's moved from that to professional levels. So, expect to be but through your paces.”
*Bodhi is staring at the top turnbuckle, sizing it up.*
“Oh, splendid...but is her chin made from marble?”
“Uh, I don’t think so…..why would you- ”
*Still staring at the top turnbuckle, Bodhi lashes a ferocious kick right at it, hitting it square on.*
“I’ve been practicing my kicks. I’ve been getting stronger. If she's good at wrestling, then I am amazing at kicking ass!”
“Heh heh, nice. Well if you beat her, then you might get to go onto Round 2. Which mean you go home with a title belt.”
“OH, I have every intention of making that a reality! Cici isn't going to stop me from moving forward, and when Yuuko sees me in the ring, she will know I got what it takes….and get my revenge on that witchy-bitch too!”
“You think Kuroi has what it takes to move forward too?”
“I just know she puts up a good fight, but her stupid little face isn’t going to be in one piece if I get my hands on her again!”
“Wow, she really did a number on you then.”
*Bodhi grunts, and flicks her hair back, as she starts to shadow-bow the turnbuckles.*
“So, who else is there on the roster to worry about?”
“Somehow I don’t think you are worried about anyone! But we’ve got a lot of good girls ready to kick ass...there's Ember Ferrari and Allyson Hydecker, not a lot known about them yet but they both come highly respected. Gabby Kaylor and Alexis Grace signed up too recently, looking to show off their skills. There is Rukia Matsuoka, a new face with a blank history. The wildcard. And of course, your buddy old pal….”
“Kuroi….”
“Yup, so far that is a lot of talent to challenge you here, and Kuroi might not be the biggest of your problems.”
“Well Karin, you just watch me go. This Saturday, I will take Cici on a trip to Poundtown, to meet the mayor Dust Knuckleson. Once she is out of the way, whoever stands in my way won’t be standing for long! Either way, I am going home with gold that night!”
*Bodhi imitates the Rocky scene where he runs around the ring, her arms in the airs, pretending to move in slow motions. Karin chuckles while Bodhi runs around.*
“OK so Karin, let’s start this promo, get this questionnaire out of the way. I have a bed calling me, and I hear there is a new episode of ‘Octopus Hill Race’ coming on.”
“No need, we’re done.”
“Done? How?”
*Karin pulls a recorder from her pocket, shows it to Bodhi with a smile on her face. Bodhi shoots her a playful look.*
“Karin you sneaky little-”
“Wolf? Oh, I am waaay ahead of you! C’mon, I’ll walk back with you. I think I might have another milkshake in my office too if you’re lucky….”
*The two girls slaps each other playfully, jokingly, but definitely not in a sexy, all-girl porno way….yet. They exit the ring and lead their way up the ramp, laughing and giggling, a new friendship blooming.*
“Oh it's been a long, long day….maybe there is something good on TV.”
