>>18538964There is one other person who Carmody has seen around the WWA Dojo, who has had well-documented trouble with both Colby and Lightning Nika in the past. A longer-term Dojo trainee with some real experience, who may have a better feel for the lay of the land. Depending on how this develops, Carmody reasons this may be a chance to get an ally, or at least someone who can offer her a little bit of advice or information.
>"Hey, you're Sola Fire, right? My name's Carmody Jefferson. I'm, well, new here, but I wanted to drop by and introduce myself." Carmody smiles and offers Sola a handshake.
>"And, the thing is, you might be able to help me. I've been having problems with some of the same people you have before. Specifically, Lightning Nika. She's got her friend Sue Plex trying to take me out in my debut match, and the only reason I don't expect Nika to be in Sue's corner is that her legs are injured. I'm aware that you know her pretty well, for good and for bad. I know it might not be your favorite thing to talk about, but..... if you've got time to talk, maybe you can help me. One Dojo girl to another, even though you've been going here for a long time and I'm just starting out.">"Is there anything I should know about Lightning Nika, and anything I need to watch out for?"
