Right as she began to plot a course for her match against La Jefa and her “demons,” she received a knock on her door. People in suits would greet her as she opened it.
“You’re Shogun Aina?”
>Yes, I would be. And you are?
“Merely humble acquaintances of the adjudicator. We understand you plan to take on one Raquel Durango?”
>That, I do. I was just in the middle of reaching out to—
“Well, we’d recommend that you don’t. Instead, we would instead like to propose some teammates for you.”
Shogun squints.
>…and they would be?
“One Masala and one Cassie Maverick.”
Shogun takes a few moments to process it. She runs a hand over her face.
>Masala. The girl that, last I checked, barely tolerates Onigiri-san and probably won’t be wanting to help me very much either?
>And while I don’t judge anyone on their faith, Cassie Maverick is…well…I’m not sure she’d tolerate my beliefs.
>And this is on top of the two being at odds with each other, no less.
>So with all due respect, I’ll have to decline your suggestion.
The suits stare at her. One clears his throat and begins pulling up a document on his phone. “As per the WWA’s ongoing audit, our authority allows us to—“

>Oh, save it. I was just hoping you’d have the decency to keep the “proposal” a proposal.

“We appreciate your compliance. Please, have a—“
Shogun shuts the door, takes a deep breath…and exhales.
>Okay!
>The long and winding road to glory it is.
Shogun takes a look at her phone in an attempt to contact her temporary tag team partners, where she saw that Pizzoad reported an…”excellent birthday party for WWA superstar Masala?” Why, she seems overjoyed in this photo! That can’t be; she was sure Onigiri had left the house before she could do anything...
Hmm. Maybe this wouldn’t be so bad after all.
