Nausicaä Suzuki and The Convicted like this

The scene fades in on what looks to be a rather plain hotel room. Two beds, a couch and an older tube television all occupy space in the room. On the couch is KITSUNE, paying no attention to anything but her phone. Slowly, Kuro-Hana's face fills the frame. She just... stares. And stares.
[KITSUNE] Hana! What the hell are you doing?
[Hana] There's a camera here...
[KITSUNE] Yeah. When we signed our contracts, we agreed to have a camera around at all times. Did you even read before you signed it?!
[Hana] Nope.
KITSUNE lets out an annoyed sigh. She's no longer focused on her phone, now looking at Hana while lounging.
[KITSUNE] You need to pay more attention. That contact could have had anything in it. We're already subject to any type of random match Suzuki sees fit to put us in.
[Hana] So?
[KITSUNE] So?! You could have to wrestle with an arm tied behind your back! Or in a double exploding light tube deathmatch! Or you could wrestle naked!
[Hana]... They wouldn't do that.
[KITSUNE] Probably not, but you need to be ready. For example, I'm wrestling Raiden Ishimori.
KITSUNE holds up her phone, showing Hana a profile of Raiden.
[KITSUNE] I watched the show last week. He had a match where he and Mulan Li, who you're facing this week, had these logs. They had to keep a hold of them while they wrestled. Raiden did some impressive stuff with his. He's got some talent. Plus, he's kinda hot.
[Hana] Stop being a whore, Kit.
[KITSUNE] Hey! Mom said I could be whatever I wanted to when I grow up!
[Hana] Pretty sure that's not what she meant.
[KITSUNE] Don't care, still counting it.
[Hana] Whatever.
Whatever, a typical response from Hana. It usually either meant she didn't care, or that she no longer cared to discuss the current subject and would appreciate a change of topics. In this case, it was the former.
[KITSUNE] While Ishimori-chan has some talent, he's lacking experience. In a way, that's good for him. I don't have a ton a video available for scouting purposes. Written move lists and such aren't really enough to prepare you for how someone actually executes moves in the ring. He's also super level-headed in there, so I'm not sure how fired up I'll be able to get him.
But that lack of experience... I did say it's good for him in a way. Overall, though? That's bad. Combine that with the fact that I've seen some crazy shit in my almost decade on the independent wrestling scene... It's bad. Real bad. Not only have I seen things Ishimori-chan hasn't, I've experienced all manners of different matches, different styles. I might not be as athletically gifted as he is. In fact, I'm pretty sure I'm not. But there's an old saying; It's not the biggest, strongest or fastest that wins. It's the smartest. I think Mr. Lonely Woof-Woof is a smart kid. He's good and he's gonna be great. But I'm great now, and I never stop thinking.
[Hana] Unless sex gets in the way.
Hana is now on the same couch as KITSUNE. She's on her phone as well, but unlike KITSUNE, Hana doesn't bother looking up while addressing her sister.
[KITSUNE] Meh, that's only temporary.
[Hana] Then why is it that when I asked why we were joining Suzuki Blitz Wrestling, your answer was "Because Nausicaä Suzuki is hot."?
[KITSUNE] And to wrestle! I'm pretty sure I said that too!
[Hana] You didn't.
[KITSUNE] Well, that's a close second then.
[Hana] Whatever.
[KITSUNE] Anyway, I do legitimately want to be here. The randomness, the spontaneity, it's all right down my alley. I'm ready for whatever gets thrown at me match-wise. On top of that, this is my debut. I don't plan to lose to a rookie, regardless of how talented he may be. I'm gonna leave everything I have out on that mat. I always do. Is Raiden ready to do the same? That's the thing about being so cool headed... You can't just reach over and flip intensity on like a switch. I might be a bit unstable, but it makes it easier to go all out when the time comes.
[Hana] Just don't get too carried away.
[KITSUNE] Is that some concern for Ishimori-chan I'm sensing from you, Hana?
[Hana] No, I don't want you to do something embarrassing out there... Like grabbing his crotch or something.
[KITSUNE] Wha? I won't do that!
For the first time since she picked up her phone, Hana turns her gaze to KITSUNE and gives her a look.
[KITSUNE] What?! I mean, I probably won't do that!... Okay, I might do that, but it's not a certainty or anything!
[Hana] Whatever, just don't forget to win.
Hana goes back to staring at her phone, but there's some sort of shift in mood. KITSUNE had been smiling for the most part, carrying herself in a lighthearted manner. Her expression had now changed. She was stone faced, serious. It almost seemed as if an aura of danger emanated from her.
[KITSUNE] No more jokes. Listen to me, Raiden Ishimori! You have no idea the fate you've had unfortunately thrust upon you. I'm taking a piece of you back home with me, back to the Aokigahara. That piece of you, that piece of your soul, will remain there forever. That is what's at stake for you here. I hope you're ready to fight, for your sake.
The scene fades, Hana still consumed with her phone and the suddenly serious KITSUNE staring off into space.
[KITSUNE] Hana! What the hell are you doing?
