>>19169176"it's great to finally meet you in person. I've seen what you and Nico have been doing -- and your hardcore stuff before that was crazy. That thing with the ladder on that, uh, older woman... hey anyway, yeah. Been at the Dojo -- oh! I mean, still going to be at the Dojo, you know? But it never hurts to get some new perspectives. 'Branch out a bit' is right."
>>19171483"Oh, Mrs Curry Girl. I don't think we've met, I'm Sola Fire. I didn't know you came to Burger Bear Gym."
>[Sola listens intently to Curry Girl's challenge. A new submission technique would be a huge boon. But as for her joke, Sola... chuckles a little bit. Maybe out of politeness. What's funny about cast-iron pans?]>>19172637>[Something grabs Ratasha and Sola's flight or fight instincts kick in: fight. She prepares herself -- oh, wait. This wasn't a tackle, but a hug. It's Nico!]"Haha, yeah, it's me! I was just in the neighbourhood and wanted to see what the Gym was like. But wow, congrats on your win! Eno- ah, Noire is a friend of mine, but I'm sure she's taking it in stride. I don't want to go on about it, like, I'm sure you're tired, but you still have matches with the block leaders. You aren't out of things yet."
>>19173157>[Was that THE Burger Bear? Sola returns the gesture with a smile.]>>19173909>[Ratasha looks at Sola, and Sola's slightly raises her hands.]"I'll be honest, Ratasha, I'm not looking for a fight. But if Curry Girl wants to throw down, I'd be honoured if I could be at ringside -- uh, as a neutral party of course! Just to see what this Burger Bear Gym is all about. I promise, I'll stay out of the match entirely. Oh, and only if that's cool with you as well, Nico. I don't want to uh... get in the way of anything... you know, tag team partner stuff."
