Mai sat in front of the mirror while staring at her reflection. It wasn't the first time and it likely wouldn't be the last she looked at every milometer of her skin, trying to find the flaw. Trying to pinpoint what about her face made her the freak. Something in her face that made her the one it was okay to leave behind. What about her face made her the one left in a bus deport behind a snack machine?
Mai picked up the glass of wine from her desk and splashed it against the glass. Watching the darker than black drip down the mirror. She picked up a hammer and smashed the glass. She set the mirror down on the table grabbing a hand full of saved snake shed skin she'd saved from Tesla and Eve over the years. She grabbed a collection of old photos of herself and ripped them up and put them back together on top of the mirror.
Phobos and Deimos both cawed loudly as someone else entered the room behind Mai but she ignored it as she mixed the resin in the plastic cup before pouring it onto the mirror. A broken mirror covered in black pant, snake skins, dead flowers and her own face. It felt like an apt metaphor.
"A little on the nose, don't you think?"
"You handle your rebirth your own way. I handle it my own." Mai took a step back admiring it. "I think this is the best one I've done so far"
"I was particle to the one with the bones."
"Well it's a glass period. Everyone can have a different favorite. Snacks?" Mai smiled brightly before cueing to Phobos who jumped a few times before landing on her shoulder cawing softly. "Snacks."
Mai walked from the art studio to the backyard where Deimos hopped along to the bird feeder where Mai refilled the feed and the puzzle box for her babies.
"Are you ready to actually wrestle this week?"
"I've been training. the aesthetic fits me and they need the numbers." Mai let Phobos hop off her shoulder to the puzzle feeder. "I'm not going to let anyone down. Cross my heart, stick a needle in someone's eye."
"It's not an easy way back into the ring. The people you are fighting aren't easy targets."
"Who wants easy?" Mai asked petting Deimos softly as she helped him back up to the feeder. "Trust me. I want to win more than you want me to win."
No one was beating down my door wondering where I went. No one wondered where did little miss talk that big game go. I made a small splash and then I took some personal time. It wasn't just the fact it felt like at the time the only women that got to make any progress up and coming in the company where the girls willing to show tits and ass. I mean, that was true. But at least for the most part the part time thirst trap artists from twitter have crawled back into their small pounds again.
And you don't act like I've somehow changed now that I joined up with two hall of famers and April. They just happen to be saying the shit I was saying when I was standing on my own. Did I approach Vivienne and Brooklyn to join up? You bet your ass I did. Do I hate this company? No. Do I hate anyone who work here? No. But let's be honest, team work makes the dream work.
Oh. If I wanted to join a team on my return why didn't I join The Winston Family Values? Do you really want me to address that on my first match back?
No.
You'll have to ask nicely for that story. Let's focus on the task at hand, shall we?
Charlotte Shimizu. Look at how you sparkle, honey. You are fresh blood and you are making all kinds of good matches going on. You are so full of promise and so excited to make your mark. It's very cute. And I don't even mean that sarcastically. How long do you think you'll stick it out? How long do you think you'll manage to keep being thrown into the meat grinder of whoever the management wants to make look strong before you snap? How long do you think you'll keeptrying to play things fair before old habits sink back in? Personally after the year I've had I'd be down for some dirty down fall out. Wink implied.
Natasha Walker. Rising star number two in the match. You got that promise too. It's too bad so many people keep using you as their punching bag when they have to deal with the fact that has some bad bumps a couple times. You don't deserve that. I might not vibe with everything you say or do. But fuck it. You see things pretty much how I see them. Fuck them. Teach them not to overlook you and make them choke on their words.
Itami... You know I almost forgot you were in this match. I honestly forget you still work here. You barely say anything on camera and just seem to appear to prop up Team Mod. It's tragic your skills are being wasted to prop up some guy. It's fucking pathetic you have to be to his right when your skills should make you top bitch of the company. But I get it. You have too much going on. It's a lot being a ride or die for a failure.
My name is Mai Everstone. I am I have a tendency to say whatever pops into my brain sometimes. Which is a huge flaw because I don’t even like what I’m saying half the time. I'm the girl with The girl with the ‧₊˚✩彡 Immaculate vibes ‧₊˚✩彡 We're gonna have so much fun together.
Well howdy there pardner.
