>>18815378>[Time is convoluted in Sola’s brain. Have they been doing drills for minutes, or has it been six hours now? She focuses on the clock. It’s been eight minutes.]Kanako arrived. Ash is screaming. I’m dying. Sola wonders if Oni might be a crossroads demon. No, she’s too Eastern. Or there is apparently an actual devil on the roster now. Not *The* Devil, capital D. Although... maybe? Sola could go without her soul, she assumes. Maybe one of them comes in here and she could strike a bargain; I give you my soul, you get rid of this hangover. If Sola finds who spiked the punch, there is going to be trouble. She makes a mental note to hit up the Dojo doctor after training. Before training? That would have been too smart.
Why doesn’t Miss USA ever interrupt these boring moments? Hey, I wonder if Nikki is okay. Nikki’s a jerk, who cares. Well, I hope she’s at least okay. Those Angels have had a rough time. Colby seemed nice. And Amy... well Amy is going to be a long conversation in short sentences. Amy...
What is the point of these drills? Sola can exercise on her own. She’s not a rookie anymore. Hell, she was here before Holly, before Amy -- and look at them now? On every big show, fighting for the tag titles or getting their own dream matches, while Sola is here taking orders from her idol. Well, let’s not puts labels on it. Superior, maybe, in the Dojo context. Arrogantly, Sola wonders if a match between the two might not be too much of a one-sided affair.
A match? Memories come flooding back. Maria was there. Or was she ‘Mighty MILF’, throwing out challenges to roofied rookies. Kind of a jerk move. Did Ash and Karna agree? Not that any of them want to team with Sola. ‘The eternal Dojo rookie’. Hwy does her mind always come back to that? Is she even still a rookie anymore, or is she just too scared to officially stop calling herself one? Big questions for another time, maybe.
