CRW history: Was resting after a day of hard working out in her training camp. She was about to move to her living spot and clean up when the air began to tingle and her world shifted from living in complete darkness to an unknown arena with an unknown Hyrul across from her. She gives everything she has left stamina-wise but passes out when a finisher was applied to her. She then learned she is on the Surface of Eorzia which till just a few minutes ago though such a place wasn't able to be lived on. The second match she was much calmer and at full strength taking the best her foe a fellow duskwright dished out then finished her off with a signature the Cave-In. She faced a clown next and her light sensitivity has been reduced because it was such a nasty weakness. Which the clown forgot about and ended up going through a table.
The next show I did my first promo with my opponents in a triple threat TLC match. Riot Raze decided to poke me to see what reaction she got which ended up being sent flying across the ring to ropes on the other side. I may of went a little overboard, but I made my point and it seems she was quite pleased with the results. During the actual match I learned just how limited my knowledge was on how to handle multiple opponents in a such a large area was.
I managed to counter Riot and give her a nice taste of what I can throw and when I was about to capitalize on her vulnerability our other opponent chose to make himself known with a double Lariot blasting both of us over the ropes with Riot landing hard on the ground and me landing on the side of the ring on my feet. He took a good swing and I just ducked under him and slammed a shoulder into him to make him backup a little and used the ropes to give him a nice drop kick to make him stagger only a tiny bit. He tried to charge me pretty fast, but he telegraphed it in such a way I used it to easily send him to a corner. Unfortunately Riot saved him but we threw him out of the ring over the announcers heads through a wall. I may of used a bit too much strength that time. Riot knocked me into a corner where I spotted a table she set up and countered her and set up to hit her with my signature move, the cave-in smashing her through the table. I was about to pin her when I heard another wall smash and King Behemoth make his return nearly taking me out with a hard kick. I escaped to the ring and the two fo us went at it surprisingly almost on even footing. I decided when it looked like I had him at my mercy to set up a signature I haven't used yet Riot finally recovering enough to grab me from behind giving King Behemoth enough time to belly flop onto us smashing both of us to the mat with an easy pin win. It took a bit of effort to get up after the hits I took. I let them both enjoy the crowd's affection as I am sure they prefer I disappear from their sight.
The Rumble was a pretty eventful night after a match between the Mystic twins and the cult which I started to feel really strange. When the Rumble started I wasn't too surprised at such a low number but surprised one of Dema's fighters got better which I figured was due to dema's intervention. Kuro and Crusader were really going at it when I showed up not being surprised because I knew Crusader was quite tough. When I got in I went for kuro as I figured him to be a bigger threat. He learned quite quickly I was quite stronger than he expected from a few hard hits I delivered on him. Then took a hit from the back from Crusader but not after the next person entered. kuro did manage to catch me with a hard knee and dropped me to the mat for a bit. Crusader and I teamed up later to try and throw Kuro out, but he knocked us both down with double lariot which took quite a bit out of him too so we rested a bit knowing the fight will be a long one. King Behemoth came in after penny pummel did and went for the downed Crusader with another belly flop. When I moved in to intercept him without enough momentum it truely looked like I was trying to protect Crusader, but it was only half true because I knew if that move landed I might as well roll Crusader out of the ring because she would be done. He caught me this time and realizing it was me took the opportunity to make the first elimination by throwing me out of the ring. I sailed too fast to catch the ropes. I didn't stay down long and walked away to the back to wait for the show to be over knowing my time was done for the night.
The next night I watched from the wrestler hang-out area all the matches got extremely bloody which wasn't too surprising as they were all fights for the different championship belts. I was sad to see Kuro and his partner fall to the Cult except relieved to see Astra make her return after what the cult did to her and her sister. I was looking forward to seeing King Behemoth and Rey Dal Mar take on each other except Dema turned it into a fatal four way match. With a contract stipulation keeping King Behemoth from giving the title to the Vanguard he chose to sacrifice his chance at the belt to take out one of Dema's girls along with all the chairs in the front row. Rey won by pinning a merc tempus who disgracefully wore a battle suit to the match. I was glad when I saw Killer Bee triumph over World eater who managed to win the rumble even though the toll of the fight was nearly too much for her to handle after it ended. I delivered some food to her apartment to help her recover.
They had a small QnA event after the championship match and took volunteers to be questioned by people. I figured it was maybe a way to improve my relations with the other wrestlers and the fans. I was picked even though quite a few signed up. I think a few of the more popular wrestlers liked my answer to who I would like to take on. I kept it simple and said any of the veterans and big names because it would be a good way to see where I stand with them. My other response to the next question likely confused them as I said it was slow having to speed learn quite a bit of stuff. Then I said the weather adjustment was something I was working on as when I came from the temperature rarely changed and if it did meant danger. I feel I may of begun to build a friendship with kuro as he was quite interested in the arena of my homeland. He and his partner likely couldn't understand why I didn't have any sympathy toward any likely dead Gelmoran who may of died young to become the next shadow elf, shadow cat, shadow man, or shadow woman. It is something that has to be accepted if you aren't prepared mentally and Physically they are destined to become a meal to the predators in the wilds. When I heard what happened to Onyx wasp as a message to Killer Bee before the championship night I knew that it was quite possible I too will follow the same fate the ones who survived to win a championship will eventually suffer.
It was the day of Victory lap and I was warming up to stay limber for my match later that evening. I considered what happened with one of her partners in the hive when world eater nearly killed him to make a statement to Bee before the last show. I figured I would surprise her after the show with an offer to aid her even though an offer to join her hive would likely make her overjoyed.. While I was doing my warm up I heard the other staff members mention a pair of strange cultists that didn't look like the ones working with Kabal. I didn't take much stock in it figuring they were just new members to join Kabal till they mentioned we need to check shadow elf for something. The mention of my name prompted me to leave the locker area I was waiting my turn in to investigate if those two were the particular cultists that I was hunting.
It did turn out to be them except to my dismay they were prepared and waiting for me. As I entered the room I felt paralyzed as I noticed a summoning circle at my feet and their voices chanting with an accent I was beginning to figure out then passed out after resisting the magic as much as I could. I don't know how long passed I was out except it was time to go on the attack.. When I walked out they were with me and only said one thing to me "Punish those clowns" as they pointed to Punchline and shroudinger in the ring. I just nodded to them ready to obey even though she wanted to punish them instead. While I rushed to the ring to go after my targets the cultists pleased with the info they gathered and booked it out of the arena because they knew that their binding spell on my mind wasn't very strong and they knew if she spied them when she was free they would be in for a world of pain.
I was glad Punchline realized something was wrong with me because I normally would hold back when dealing with that clown a little as I knew she wasn't ever ready for my full strength. I am not too sure why I get paired with her again unless it is very entertaining for the crowd to see her get me to chase her around the arena. When I noticed Shroudinger run off backstage I was mentally glad to see they were taking my threat seriously. I even told Judas to let the clowns have their toys; it won't save them from me. I am still unsure how my initial clothesline gave her the opportunity to flip over it. I know Judas was likely quite shocked when I rushed out early to attack Punchline with that clothesline as he is used to calling for the match to start. I for one wouldn't do something like that normally. Proof was when I took on King Behemoth and Riot Raze I had a perfect chance to attack both but I didn't under the cover of the darkness of my intro. I tried my hardest to catch that clown, but her knowledge of what I would likely do to her gave her good incentive to stay way ahead of my grip. When I heard Shroudinger return and punchline ask for slappy hands. I was completely confused at what those were till I felt like small sticky hands slapping my face. My thoughts were really I threaten to put you through pain worse than I did the last time and you choose to use these on me. Maybe I should just give you a bigger taste of what the cultists want done to you.
Punchline manages to escape in my confusion outside the ring. Shroundinger grabs out a bag of gumballs he swiped from Bee's stash which I figure she will likely have words with him about later. I charged after them not realizing the danger those pieces of candy posed till Punchline rolled them out onto the ring in my path. The moment I started slipping and waving my arms to try and regain my balance I went over the ropes landing hard behind them on the ground. It didn't take me long to return to my feet which set up another chase for several laps around the outside of the ring. When they slid back in with my following quite vexed at what just happened. I rush out with a double clothesline knowing full well if it hits will hurt the pair. I don't know if it was dumb luck or divine intervention, but those two got saved by their gumballs that Judas flat out refused to clean up. Shroundinger escapes the ring as I managed to grab punchline finally and lift her overhead quite easily and send her flying straight up in the air with my carefully steping around gumballs to let her land hard onto the mat. Shroudinger says maybe this will work as I turn to see him holding a large boot that clearly could belong to Rey Del Mar. I turn to a recovered punchline who calls for it to be thrown to her which gives him a chance to sneak back in with a chair they showed off earlier and set it up behind me. I had the are you serious look on my face till I felt the metal toe part of the boot connect to my cheek sending me stumbling back into the chair which made the usual fart noises. I got up forgetting about what Punchline just did and grabbed the chair which was also very out of character for me. I aimed to clobber Shroundinger with it which I wrote off as not much of a threat earlier. Lucky for him Punchline pulled the chair away and clobbered me with it instead calling me to drop to the mat stunned. Punchline was quick to call her partner over to go for a pin as this was the first time she got me down. When Judas went down to slap the mat for one, I woke up from being stunned. When I recovered I threw off the one on my chest which was an unlucky punchline who bounced off an equally unamused Judas. When I got up I paused for a moment as for the first time since the match started my mind was free of the spell, but the spell resumed its hold on me almost immediately. Shroundinger was at a loss because everything they threw at me was barely slowing me down showing how durable I was.
I heard punchline mention something about she was saving this for a later time and turn to see her pull out a huge bomb from somewhere on her person where I didn't want to know. I did know if that thing went off it was going to be painful and destructive to everyone in the ring. At that moment Astra made her entrance which I been normally some distance from the ring when it normally happened and it was still disorienting then. Up close it really stunned me which I am not sure what happened while I was stunned from the intensity of her bright entrance. When my eyesight recovered enough to see her focus was on me and then the spell binding my mind was broken freeing me at last from their control. I managed to thank her for freeing my mind from the magic that was binding it. When I notice the bomb still in punchline's hand but her pouting about something Astra relights to fuse as it turns into a firework show for the crowd as she makes her exit. I apologize to the pair for ruining their promo saying "I was being controlled by those two cultists who walked out with me." As I walked to the ropes to climb out all sore I just flat out collapsed. What noone really seen was while I was on the mat I was fighting a for control of my body from a foreign Aether that was inside me. It took some effort, but I managed to win the struggle for now waking to find Rin checking on me looking worried about me.
I told her that I will be fine after I rested in my ladies embrace for a while. I am sure she didn't fully believe me, but I had an idea what happened to me which I wasn't sure what everyone else would think of the news. When I went backstage I grabbed my bag from where I had it stored and headed to an empty locker room and left the lights off as she sat down and began reading the script on the pages particularly about the OD folklore. She was glad she was alone and enveloped in darkness because she likely would caused some worries as she reacted to what she read in reference to what happened to her. After I calmed down and relaxed from that revelation that the shadow elf training was more to be a extra layer defence to protect that aether. She now suspected that the cultists likely never knew at first they succeeded in their objective just that not in the way they suspected when I was summoned that day all those months ago.
I left that dark locker room after I was certain my aether was stable and the other aether wouldn't surge for control again. I sat near Bee and Riot as they talked still looking a mess from the encounter with Punchline and Shroundinger which I was fine with it. I didn't deserve to have the injuries mended right away after what I did. When it came time for the end where it was expected Dema would hand over control to Orange Coeurl we got a way to watch the events happen from the locker room. When I watched Bee attack him after all he did to support her after he read the file dema handed him I knew it was only a matter of time till bee sold me out to dema with her knowledge of where I trained. She may of sold herself as champion of the little people but showing how she sold herself to bring her little faction in alliance with Haus of Gogue I knew my little surprise wouldn't be mentioned to her not anymore.
I wasn't too surprised when I saw Riot stand with the Vanguard still even though she was part of the hive. I was sad Tempus chose to retire as I was actually looking forward to taking him on in the ring. Tensions were high during the meet and greet which shouldn't of been much a surprise after that ending.
I talked with Orange Coeurl a bit when I was sure no was paying attention what was said I will keep to myself for now. When I left the grounds I went and moved my whole training camp from its current location to a new unknown spot. It was rough due to my injuries, but I was determined to do it.I now just have to hope my own contract gets renewed for the next season.
Some time after the show I messaged that I needed to post a response to a question from Kayfabe about my thoughts on the season. I gave my thoughts on what I thought of it and who I would have the back of if they got in trouble next season or in the postseason shows. There are others I will aid, but I will keep that to myself as it will be a nice surprise for the crowd to wonder why I am there when I step out to aid someone.
The Pub Crawl
I got the message that some wrestlers were wanted to come out to represent the CRW at the event. The day before I managed to get my hands on a special wineskin that could hold a few bottles of wine and managed to buy from a merchant a few bottles of rare Mushroom wine which I haven't had for at least 3 years. I Joined Orange Coeurl and the others at the start of the Pub crawl some in costume which I figured we looked like a pretty odd little group standing there likely I was the oddest of the group as I was the only Deep duskwright. I followed along the pack occasionally drinking pulls from my wine skin when it was called or just wanted another drink. When we reached the second stop we chose a group to stand with till you got sprayed with sparkling wine.
I unfortunately got sprayed in the first group. We moved on to our next stop which was a quiz mini game. After it was about time to move on I moved early with the rest of the CRW crew to help prepare for our show that was in the next stop. I helped by calling for drinks after every suplex. Then suggested the to Orange to call for out the priest and say he should come out when he mentioned how few elezen he sees at events. I heard orange call out to him that CRW has five elezen lady wrestlers three duskwrights and two wildwood. I was tempted to drag away one of the people who wandered in to check on Kuro and Kari after the pair went through poor blueshoe's booze wagon. When I moved on I bowed out and returned to my lair as I was already feeling pretty tipsy from the wine I was drinking. The next morning I woke up regretting my choice to drink hard as I did with a mess to clean up that I made while I rested.
The next show I attended was a Starlight themed show which I honestly didn't know too much about the holiday. I did some research on the holiday when I learned about it which I figured my own family would love to celebrate it if we were ever reunited again. The show after that brought back some interesting memories as it was how I came to be part of the CRW. I offered to be interviewed by a new person joining the media crew. The interview seemed to be something straight forward till one of the cultists revealed himself and began attempting to force himself to gain control of me again by binding my mind again. The training I did in the time since Victory lap proved effective as it started to appear I was winning that battle of wills. Then the aether chose at that moment to surge again to try and take over. Divided as I was fighting both it became clear to me that one side had to defeat me. I chose to restrain the aether allowing the cultist to restrain my mind once again. The events of that once are pretty fuzzy for me as the spell kept me from remembering much of what happened. Punchline eventually freed me, but not before 3 weeks passed. When I learned what happened I discovered a new rune placed on my containment seal which was woven so well into it that even I couldn't remove it without breaking the seal. The CRW medical team after seeing the attacks happening at a alarming rate they set me as not medicially cleared to wrestle. My chosing not to tell what I knew likely caused my restriction from performing, but I knew it was for the best. As the attacks get worst I know the time is closing where I must make a choice on two cures which each have their own risks.
