She takes back her glass from Bree, and swallow the rest in two gulps.]"Carmody. And sorry, Bree, this is gonna either bore you or really suck to hear. My time in the WWA has not been easy. I never got a match against Skelly -- five minutes or otherwise. I never got to team with her, either. I spent the first few months of my time here getting beaten, bloodied, and assaulted by everyone from my Dojo trainers to contemporaries, to monsters like Big Gal who I know are waiting to even the score. I was in Spaghetti Town General when it exploded back in February, after Cassie freaking Kade powerbombed me to the floor in an opening-match battle royale."
"When I started, I was alongside Amy Flame, Lightning Nika, and Nikki Kade. Do you know how much it hurt to see the one, by one, by one fall into the same pitfalls, to grab opportunities that were never afforded me? Carmody, I... I know I've been weird about Priscilla. Being around her. I really like her a lot, and for a long time I blamed her, personally, for what happened to my three friends. I was so terrified and embarrassed and angry that I thought it was about to happen to you too. But she and I... I don't want to come on too strong her, but I really like her, and I think she likes me. Even if she seems to like you more."
"So you caught up on *some* of the history, and it really does mean a lot to me that you would, Carmody. The hospital stuff... yeah, that's hard. It's a big reason why stuff with Amy ended up going the way it did. And why Sapphire is just... getting me so worked up! The way Sapphire talks about the staff in the park with Nikki. I... she... Nikki took advantage of me, and she has never shown a hint of remorse. I do hope she's okay, because when the time comes, I think I want to beat an apology out of her myself."
