>>19168258>[Going inside, Sola is glad to see that the place is surprisingly... normal. Some weird things happen in Spaghetti Town, and a gym being owned by a literal bear is not even on the top half of that. But still, Sola had seen enough crude images of bears eating burgers, or playing video games with comic book characters, or building pyramids or whatever that she was expecting something stranger. There are some weird people on the Spaghetti Town socials.]But the gym itself looks modern. Equipment is new or at least in good condition. Temperature is nice enough to take off her beanie. It's busy, but not busy enough to feel the need to hide in a dorm room. She heads to reception and finds out that general training is free, but there are specific classes which will require payment or a membership. Sola lets the receptionist know she's just having a look for now, but the idea of signing up is not entirely out of the question.
Sola Fire has heard that a handful of WWA luminaries have been spotted here. Nico and Ratasha, of course, were taking the tag division by storm until -- well, until Nico entered the B1. The less said about that at this point the better. Sola even knows Hailey Britannia used to frequent the place, and though sola never actually met Hailey, she and Sheila were close friends so she must have been at least a little bit cool. Maybe? Sola still thinks Violet is pretty cool and, well... maybe it's best she does not share that with many people.
Glancing around the training area, Sola sees a familiar face, albeit one she hasn't met in person yet. Ratasha, the former hardcore wrestler now a bustling tag team competitor. Summoning all her courage, Sola heads over.
"Hey, Ratasha. I'm Sola! I don't know if we've officially met yet. I don't want to interrupt your session, but I was looking at some new places to train. I know this place has done wonders for you and Nico. How are you? And do you like it here?"
