>"Oh, yeah, about Kanako. After the match, Lightning Nika beat the shit out her, about like she did me. And she exposed a bunch of information about Kanako being some kind of secret government agent, real name Yumi O'Brian? Sounds like Kasumi O'Brian's her sister. But she really hurt her too."She frowns.
>"It sounds like Kanako's employer thought it was a good idea to recruit Lightning Nika, for God knows what reason. So they may not've been hanging around each other for fun, after all."Bree looks up with an expression of disbelief. "Seriously, Carm? This is just pro wrestling, right?"
Carmody frowns.
>"There's a LOT of weird shit that goes on here. Like the ghosts and the penguins." She turns back to Sola.
>"As far as Coach Ash goes, she didn't sneak attack me in person. She was aiming for Priscilla, and I pushed her outta the way. Not that that's really any better.">"And I still haven't talked to Priscilla since we left the infirmary. When she was warning me about my friends, I don't recall her saying anything about you, specifically. Just all my friends in general. That woulda been before you came by for the first modeling shoot with me the next morning."Carmody frowns.
>"I know I won't be welcome back at the Dojo either. The truth is, I haven't had anywhere to train, since leaving. It kinda makes me think: you suppose we really should sign those Divine Touch contracts? I don't wanna take advantage of Priscilla, but if everyone's just gonna assume the worst of us anyway, we might as well get paid for it."While Carmody is talking, Bree gets up and gets another glass with ice and a can of Diet Dr. Better, which he brings over to Sola. "You've never tried Dr. Better? Here, try some. Nothing special, it's just a type of soda."
Carmody snickers.
>"Says the guy who lugged a giant case of it up to my apartment."
