What is this? (Jade/o2a)

[Osiris]

Osiris: What is this feeling that I have?

Osiris wonders this as he is walking around in town. Ever since he met that girl, Jade Seung Hun, he has felt different about himself. Usually, he is filled with hate and anger, but after meeting Jade, he didn't feel it so much. As a matter of fact, he felt......happy. This is definitely something that Osiris has not felt outside of hurting people. It baffles him. Ever since she left to get her contract signed, he felt uneasy, as if he felt better when she was with him.

On his walk, he notices thing that he never noticed before. Birds singing, the chatter of a family on a walk of their own, stuff like that. Regularly, this would have annoyed him or he would have ignored it, but with his new feeling, he just didn't have it in him to do either. It disturbed him, yet he couldn't say he didn't like this new feeling in him.

While passing by a store, he saw that one of the TVs was tuned to APW. He saw Jade, and he felt happy all over again. He could see how nervous it was, and the other girl talking about her ears really didn't help the matter. He hoped that he would talk with Jade, maybe help her overcome her nervousness. That was if she ever did talk to him again. Osiris never has had any luck in getting friends, let alone ones of the female gender. So this is a completely new experience. Usually, they would be scared of him and run away, but Jade did neither. It intrigued him to no end. He just couldn't get her off of his mind.

His walk finally brought him back to the APW tower. He decided to walk up the stairs all the way to the top, see what the view was. It took him a while, but once he got there, he was amazed by the natural beauty of it all.

While taking in the sight, someone walks up behind him.

[meow]

Her little challenge had been answered. A Brazilian woman by the name of Mariana Cavalera who seemed to think quite highly of herself. Jade didn't necessarily like the idea of revealing herself to the world like she did. Atleast... Not so soon. She knew it was going to come up in the public eye eventually. She knew she couldn't hide it forever. She just didn't think she was going to have to put herself out there all like that. It didn't matter now though. It was over and done with. She was expecting plenty of awkward stares in the future. Probably some whispering here and there about her. Jade didn't care though. She was used to it back home. It wasn't necessarily the first time that she's been in the public eye for just being herself. Oh well. It's done. There's no fixing it now. She found herself back at the Tower. She had purchased a baseball cap at the APW Merchandise Table at the arena with the APW logo across it. Jade was wearing the hat on her head. Folding her ears down and covering them with her hat. This way, she just looks like an average, everyday normal human being. She figured she would go somewhere she would be all alone and ponder her thoughts. The rooftop would be a nice place she thought. There's probably no one up there. Jade found herself many of nights sitting on rooftops and just staring at the sky. Just sitting there, enjoying life, thinking to herself... It was kind of a like a sanctuary type of mood that she would get into. That's where she decided to go. To the top of the APW Tower.

Off Jade went up the stairs to the top of the Tower, dressed back in her casual clothing. She pushed the door open to the top of APW's Tower and just closed her eyes as she felt the nice breeze brush against her soft skin. Her flowing purple hair blowing in the wind as she stood there. A smile gracing her face as she took a deep breath in and released a relaxing sigh. Opening her eyes, Jade noticed there was someone else here. She didn't expect there to be another up here. She thought she was going to be the only one who came to the top of the Tower for some alone time. It was that Osiris guy she met when she first arrived. She was glad it was someone that she could expect to be friendly with her. She didn't know how to react to normal people who asked about what she was. She didn't know how. It was hard to explain to a normal human being about what race she was. Most humans never have seen something like her before. She decided she'd accompany Osiris while he was up here. See what he's been up. Jade walks over to where Osiris was standing and with a smile on her face, she greeted him...

"Hey there."

[Osiris]

Osiris turns around, and is happy to see that it was the person who his thoughts have been on. His eyes focus on the hat.

Osiris: What is with the hat? Trying to hide your ears?

He takes the hat off of her head, releasing the ears.

Osiris: Don't be ashamed of those ears. You look much better without this hat on.

What the hell made him say something like that? "It must be that feeling I've been having" he thinks to himself.

Osiris: So what brings you up here?

[meow]

With the hat removed, Jade's ears pop up from underneath and stand up straight. Her cheeks reddened at the sound of Osiris telling her that she looked better without the hat on her head. That was probably true with any woman. She didn't know. She just smiled and nodded her head...

"Thanks."

She looked out to the view before her and she took a few steps forward.

"I just came here to clear my head. My debut was.... Well... Less than enjoyable... I think it went well... It just didn't make me feel good. You know what I mean?"

She turned and looked at Osiris.

[Osiris]

Osiris: I know exactly what you mean. I lost my debut, but that seems to be a pattern I have wherever I go. But then that only motivates me to drive forward, because I hate losing. Like you said, it went well, but it didn't make me feel good either.

He then remembers seeing what she was talking about during his walk.

Osiris: I did get to see your debut. You were very nervous. I wish that I had some advice for you on that, but quite frankly I don't. I've never been nervous being in front of people. Honestly, I never cared what anyone thinks of me.

"Till now" he thinks to himself.

Osiris: Maybe that is my advice. Go out there, and just don't give a damn what anyone thinks. The only person's opinion that matters is yours. That Brazilian woman for example. She is judging you, and in doing so, is underestimating you. That will be the cause of her downfall against you.

[meow]

"That's exactly what I plan on doing when I get in that ring. I think she is too high on herself and believes herself to this great competitor. She underestimates me and thinks that I'll just be an easy win for her. I'll show her though. She won't know what hit her."

Jade's smile remained as she nodded again. She was confident in her own abilities. She didn't know how well she would fair off against that Mariana Cavalera, but she did know that she'll give it everything she has.

"I don't know about not caring what people think. That's easier said than done. I'll have to learn to care... less. It's difficult to pretend that nothings wrong when it feels like I'm being stared at everywhere I go."

She looked over her left shoulder, then looked over her right shoulder. Reassuring herself that she and Osiris were the only ones on the top of the Tower.

"It's... nerve racking. It feels worse than the paparazzi. Even though I've never been followed by the paparazzi before... But I imagine it would get someone really nervous too."

[Osiris]

Osiris: The paparazzi? I have often heard of them, none of it good. But, I have yet to have anyone foolish enough to follow me around. As for not caring, that's what I do. If it's not your thing, then it wouldn't be worth the effort to even try. I wouldn't want you to do something that would make you uncomfortable. There are other ways to calm yourself of nervousness, but alas, I do not know them. Wish I could be of better use.

[meow]

Jade shrugged her shoulders.

"It's okay. I'll learn some way of getting over it. I'm going to have to. I'll be in front of millions of people who will be staring at me every time I go out for a match."

She looked up at Osiris.

"So, what brings you up here? Any reason in particular?"

[Osiris]

Osiris: Two reasons. One was to enjoy the view. It's not something that I care to look at, but for some reason, I felt like I had to do it today. The other was to be alone, to think. About my actions, about my past, basically to reflect. It's another thing I don't do often, because every time I do it I feel disgust for some of my past actions. Things I wish I could forget.

"Better stop there. There are some things that no one needs to know." Osiris thinks.

Osiris: I did say I came here to be alone, didn't I? But I think I'd rather that you were here. For some reason I feel, happy, around you. It's a nice change from all the hate and rage that I usually feel.

[meow]

Jade's eyes looked to the sky, raising a hand up with only the index finger extended. She placed that finger on her chin. Pondering her thoughts for a moment about what Osiris had said. He feels happy when she's around? Was that weird? Was she like... some kind of lucky cat girl type of person? She didn't know. Her eyes shifted over to Osiris. A smile graced her lips once again. She moved her finger from her chin and pointed at Osiris. Jade responded with...

"I wonder why. Maybe cause you don't feel alone anymore? You did say that you hadn't met anyone who was abnormal, didn't you? Maybe it's a feeling that you no longer feel that you're alone in this world. Maybe you feel like there must be others out there that are like me and you, and are not the average, everyday person that people have become accustomed to seeing."

She shrugged. And then her smile grew and she said in a joking manner..

"...Or maybe it's cause I'm just so cute. Hehe."

She place a hand over her mouth as she giggled.

[Osiris]

Osiris: Because I don't feel alone? Hmm. I have felt that feeling of not being alone before, when I made some friends. But with you, I don't know. It feels different. I don't know what it is. It's like I said, I feel happy. No one has ever made me feel like this before. At least, not the same way I feel now.

[meow]

"Were these friends of yours... human?"

...She asked as she slowly walked over to the edge of the building and parked herself in a sitting position. Looking back at Osiris, she continued..

"When I said, maybe it's the feeling of not being alone... I meant... As in, not alone in being one of those nifty "freaks" of the world that everyone refuses to tolerate because they don't understand us. Were these friends of yours human friends?"

[Osiris]

Osiris: Some of them. There was one other who was like us. Had snake like eyes, was light blue skinned, and like me, he wore a mask. A mask that covered all but his glowing yellow eyes. We tore up the tag team landscape. He was so much like me, and we got along so well. I consider him my best friend. The best of few, but the best. So when you say it could be from being with someone that is like us, I know that feeling. But you, on the other hand, make me feel something else that I have never felt.

[meow]

There were others? That was great news. She knew there were more people like her elsewhere around the world. What would you call them? Cat people? Jade never really learned what the technical term it was to describe what she was. It was cool to know there were others like Osiris out there. She didn't know what it was that made Osiris get the strange feeling that he feels....

"Hmm... I don't know what it could be then."

She turned where she sat and looked out over Toronto. A smile on her face. This place was beautiful. She spoke as she stared...

"What ever happened to that guy? The... umm... snake guy.... Is he here in this company with you too?"

[Osiris]

Osiris: Hmm? Oh, no. You see, I wanted more competition then what we were getting. The only matches that we really had to work for was against each other, and we don't like to fight that much. So I saw the APW and how much competition was here, I had to come here. Not to mention that management there hated us. Can't have guys going around and manhandling everyone on the roster. I invited him to join me, but he wanted to stay there, he was fighting for the World title there, again. I really do hope he wins it, that bastard that holds the title is the GM's favorite. We still stay in touch, talk with each other about things. How it is here, how it is there, stuff like that.

[meow]

"That's cool. It's always good to have friends. Hehe. It's good that you keep in contact with that guy. I take it, that you're pretty good at this stuff. That's good that you met someone like you that you could relate to and became friends with. And even went on to team up together to beat people down."

She looks back over at Osiris. A gust of wind blew by and caused her hair to wave in the air.

"I don't believe I've seen anyone like myself be involved in this line of work. Who know, I might be the only one of my kind who wrestles."

[Osiris]

Osiris: Not that I have seen. But who knows? I thought I was the only one like me, but I found my best friend. So there could very well be more catlike people out there. But don't worry, if there are more, you'll always be my favorite.

[meow]

"Hehe. You're sweet Osiris."

Jade placed a hand over her mouth as she began to laugh. She looked back out over to the view of Toronto.

"What do you have planned for this weeks show? Do you got an opponent?"

[Osiris]

Osiris: I haven't said anything about them yet? How forgetful of me. I have two matches. One will be against Jame Hunter inside of Hell in a Cell, inside of which I'm undefeated. The other one is the one I'm looking more forward to. A Weapons of Mayhem match against Skullinator. I have been compared to that guy ever since I got here. I don't like being compared. So we'll see who can take as well as dish out punishment. No need to worry about me though. I can go through the cell and still have enough to take on Skullinator.

[meow]

Her eyes returned back over at Osiris. A surprised look on her face as she looked at him.

"Wow. Two matches? In one night? That's crazy. You must be real good then, if you're able to handle more than one match in a single night. That's crazy. I'm not sure if I'd be able to handle more than one match in one night. You must be real good."
