As the scene fades in we hear cursing in Romanian. We are at the warehouse of Karina Koji who is the source of the foreign vulgarity. The last time we saw this place it was nearly destroyed during one of Karina’s dark periods. Since then not much has changed except that the broken pieces of her life have dust on them.
Karina is working on the three monitors that are still working from her old wall of screens. She is banging on one of the monitors that is slowly buzzing to life. For the briefest of moments it looks to be fixed but it quickly fades. Then after much cursing it comes back on and Karina gives a yelp for joy. Karina then flops down in the chair. She starts setting up the monitor to show the CD ROM she has. Highlights of Jessie Salco’s matches flash on the monitor.
Loki, Karina’s best friend who most likely does not exist, appears behind her surveying the damage.
Loki: Did you ever think about...I don’t know making this place look livable.
Karina: Neh, its just warehouse.
Loki: And you sleep on a mattress that’s on the floor.
Karina: Da but its a good mattress.
Loki: You are such a mess girl. You are not going to spend the next four days just staring at that monitor.
Karina: But that is how I prepare. I have not had a match in too long and I must win.
Loki: Yeah that is also how you go to the dark place, we are going to figure out balance.
Karina mumbles in Romanian before going back to her monitor. She will try to ignore Loki but it is impossible...and so she will start cleaning....
Days later we will find her in the loft trying to turn it into livable space. What once was a cobweb infested space filled with rotting crates is now cleared out. It almost looks livable. Karina mostly scowls and curses while she works, but when she stood up to survey the progress a small smile crosses her face.
Loki’s voice returns and Karina turns to see her standing where the beams of light cross the old wood floors. She is dressed in a black dress made from ties and a floral top. Even though Karina knows she might not be real she is stunning. She can’t help but feel good about the world when she is nearby.
Loki: So there is this small promotion who is putting on a show tonight. I think you should go, might meet some fans and I bet they will let you cut a promo.
Karina: Eh...why would I do that...
Loki: Because you miss the ring and remember the fans will help ground you.
Karina: So you say...
Loki: Have you thought about this match on Sunday?
Karina: Da, I have studied the tapes. Not to mention I have faced this woman before. I know how to beat Salco, I know many ways to beat her.
Loki: But its a tag team match..right? Do you know anything about your partner?
Karina: I know he talks to a teddy bear. That he is a good in the ring, he is great in the ring in fact. Lots of people think he is nothing without Gabriel but I don’t think so. He is a great choice in partner...and also he sees you. I like that.
Loki: So have you talked to him?
Karina looks at Loki with a puzzled expression. Why would she have talked to him. She already knows that by watching him and the world around him. She is always amazed by how much time people waste with talking.
Karina: Of course not.
Loki: You might want to. If you are so sure you are winning this match then you are going to be a partner with this guy for a while. Might be good to form a relationship with him.
Karina: There you go using that dirty word again.
Loki laughs as Karina grumbles about all the changes. She goes back to sweeping out the loft, but despite her protest the small smile won’t fade from her face.
******************************************************************
That night at a Nevada Wrestling Federation event Karina stands in the eilies in the small auditorium as two young indie wrestlers work a decent match. Karina can not help herself her eyes focus on the action. She watches the moves that they make and make note of weaknesses. Soon enough the crowd fades away and even Loki’s voice gets quiet.
The fan that has approached Karina has to speak up three times before she gets breaks out of her focus. She looks over at the young man wearing a SCW t-shirt.
Karina: What you say?
Fan: Are you Karina Koji?
Karina: Da
Fan: Your freaking awesome!
Karina: Da
Karina eyes the young man suspiciously.
Karina: Don’t touch me.
The man flinches a little bit when suddenly Karina pulls out a big market from her hoody pocket.
Karina: You want autograph?
The fan nods. Karia signs the autograph while never making contact with him. As she is doing so the match finishes up. She looks at the ring as it empties out and finishes up with the fan. She gives him a nod and forces a smile that must have been insisted on by Loki in her head. She then walks to the ring and steps in. She looks at the ring more than she does the crowd that is slowly realizing who she is. If she noticed such things she would be surprised by the decent reaction she is getting.
Karina: The last time I was in a ring was last year. I must admit I missed it. I can train hours and hours but its not the same thing. Every week I watch fighters battle it out on Sundays waiting for my chance to get back in there. Every week I get even better at this craft....I watched my brother in his last match....
The fans give a huge pop at the mention of Aleksei Koji. Karina seems annoyed by the interruption and starts talking the moment they quiet down.
Karina: I watched him and I knew I could have done better. I am at top of my game. No distractions, just pure skill. So now we have mixed tag tournament and all these bombshells get shackled with some male talent. I watch all the teams get made. Some girls who have no business calling themselves fighters got set up with partners with real talent. Some fighters who have real skill got stuck with men who are jokes. I won’t talk much about my partner except to say that I have no worries about Despayre. He is damn good fighter. I have Romani luck you know so I get best team.
The fans cheer her on and this time Karina manages a small smile. She even waits a moment to let the fans calm down. She looks to her left and smiles even bigger though it is hard to tell why she is smiling.
Karina: Now my main concern is a girl named Salco. I know her well. She is good fighter, raw but with talent. I am glad she will not waste my time. But just as I have no worries about my partner, he will not have to worry about me. I know I will win this match. I know that I can take what Salco throws at me. I can outlast her in a match and will not have trouble with my emotions, as she often does. When we get tagged in I will break her down and because she has my respect I will try to do it quickly. But she will have no place to hide.
I know this is truth because I have never been more prepared. I have been waiting a long time to show the world what I can do. I don’t think you have seen the true Karina Koji. My brain is strange...da...but it is hardwired towards pain. I know a thousand different ways to hurt a person. Jessie with all her momentum and confidence will not be immune. She has joints, she has pressure points....and I will find them. You have not seen the true Karina Koji but this Sunday you will.
The fans give her another decent pop that Karina is not sure what to do with. She stares at them all and motions to Loki who only she can see. She flips up the hood of her hoodie and walks away.
