Cosplayers, Vikings and Meisters : A strange encounter

Lukretia smiled at Cecelia's interest in a spar. That would be quite amusing. But then she asked about Meister and she raised a cruious eyebrow. "Vell, if you're curious to know. Most of meine staff, of course. However, many of zem do as zey please. It vould be quite difficult to get Ms. Placido to do anything und Ms. Sinclair und her assistant are busy behind ze scenes. Ms. Rath vould be villing to do something if ze mood struck her. Ze maids, of course, despite zere incompetence, do much of ze dirty vork along vith Ms. Cross und zat little troll Valkoinen.

Lukretia then laughed. "Oh! Und how could I forget Ms. Von Creuzfeldt. Perhaps because she is, indeed, utterly forgettable." She laughed as she chastised her sister. "Und a few others like Ms. Kytes who are not affiliated vith me personally."

Lukretia leaned in. "Vhy? Are you looking to join as vell, Ms. Northman?"

Cecilia did wonder a bit over who where a part of Meister, she knew that Lia worked for the Lukretia and all but she didn't know the girl was a part of the group that was quite a interesting thing to hear, the fact that the names caused faint thought backs in her minds of who that person was, was a positive thing in a way, since Cecilia didn't think back about people unless they caused a little bit of a impact on her mind for something they had done.

" Hmm sounds interesting " Cecilia said as she played a bit with her hair, rolling it around her finger and rubbing the edge between her finger tips, " Join ?...ehm I don't know..maybe " Cecilia said as she got a ponderous look on her face.

" Is that an offer on your part ? If so...I must humbly ask of you to post pone it . " Cecilia said with a smile as she looked over at Lukretia wondering a bit how she would react, " Well, you see...I sort of want to make a bigger name for myself on my own, nobody is gonna say that I got big just cause I was in the Avengers, but they might say that Meister made my name, if you understand, When I feel I have made a name for myself, more so than now, I will gladly join " Cecilia said as she looked over the sulking Adrian.

Lukretia turned her head slightly. "Nein." He said. "It vas not an offer." She didn't really offer the position, she either deemed it or granted it. But she then smiled after she heard Cecelia's explanation. "Zis ist gut to hear, frauline." Lukretia said genuinely. She liked that sort of attitude. I vish more wrestlers vould put forth zat sort of self sufficient attitude." Lukretia made a brief glance at Adrian before looking back at Cecelia. "If you vish to join Meister vhen you have found ze right amount of success zen perhaps zere vill be an opening."

Adrian's once petty scowl took a much darker turn when Lukretia smiled. The more she found out about Meister, the more she regretted getting involved with them in the first place. She had a fair idea of what a 'spar' with her would be like, and didn't want anyone of her friends anywhere near that unpleasant experience. The training sessions between Cecilia and Rebecca were brutal and often times hard to watch, but deep down there was a sense of sportsmanship between the two. If she fought Lukretia Von Creuzfeldt, there would be nothing of the sort. She had done her homework on Lukretia too, she knew what kind of a fighter she would be. and people call ME a cheating bitch.

Adding to her growing distaste for the German was her dismissal of her own sister who Adrian happened to like a lot more and that glance. She may have been very silly, but she wasn't that stupid. She knew when she was being insulted. "After all, even if you did join, it's not like she'll give you anything you couldn't get anyway." She said very pointedly.

Cecilia smiled a little as she heard that Lukretia didn't object her wanting to make it big on her own, in fact she complimented her a little. Cecilia did want to spar with Lukretia quite a bit, not just because she managed to go toe to toe with Sarah Gatt, but the fact that she was had heard the this woman was crazy strong. Cecilia's undying thirst of fight strong people would most likely be her downfall one day, but she really couldn't resist it at times.

" Hehe, Well all people can't be me after all !" Cecilia said with a happy smile on her face and nodded to Lukretia. Adrian finally spoked up it seemed, and what she said just made Cecilia shake her head, " Now now Adrian, you know that when I gain something I want it to be with my own hands! and by my own strength." Cecilia said as moved up from her seat and walked over to Adrian to pat her on her head.

"Will you just Relax already."

Lukretia raised her eyebrow at Adiran as she pouted over Lukretia's remarks. "You have all Meister agents at your disposal as verll, frauline." She began. "All you have to do is ask. As you have done vith ze requested knowledge. Meine gym und miene own home is also available to you." She quickly turned to Cecelia, sparing no more time for Adrian.

"A very interesting vay of saying it, Ms. Northman." She added as she tilted her head. "Perhaps I agree vith you to a certain extent. Zough in a more broad sense. Zere is no me und zere is no other Adrian." She glanced over at the girls. "But you are not making zat point, are you? You are saying you are on top? Vell, I believe ze same as vell." She then glanced back to Adrian. "Und you, frauline? Do you believe as Cecelia does? Zat you too are on top?"

Cecilia looked on as Lukretia talked to Adrian and tried to somehow reassure her or maybe belittle her, Cecilia wasn't entirely sure, but there was one thing that she knew and that was that they didn't really need Lukretia's home or gym at the moment, seeing as Cecilia had her own and enough room for Adrian and Rebecca, even more so as well so that more people could be housed there as well.

Cecilia wondered for a second as she then listened to Lukretia speaking to her, she soon smiled and shook her head a little, " Yes and no." Cecilia said, only that at the moment she wasn't speaking English or even Swedish, she was speaking German to Lukretia, Cecilia being raised in a rich family had been forced to learn a few languages, while most of them were European languages she had learned, she did somewhat master them.

" I don't know about me being on the top yet..soon perhaps, But I will get there by my own force and keep on blasting through anything that stands in my way, If you know what I mean." Cecilia said with a smile as she looked, she gave Lukretia a wink and then said " The only person that can get you to the top is yourself and there is only one of you, so in a sense that was a part of the point I was making."

This was bad, the main reason Adrian suggested this meetingwas that so Miester and the Avengers could have a good working relationship, a bit of insight on what it would take to beat Sarah and potentially a lot of cannon fodder in maid outfits, they were getting all that on request but Adrian's attitude to Lukretia was on the verge of ruining it. Or at least spoiling her part of the relationship. She was being belittled, insulted and generally treated like a child. Especially with the pat on the head. Not fucking helping she wanted to scream at Cecilia.

"Well I didn't ask for it, so I didn't get it but hey, it all worked out anyway. Still top 10 and still undefeated." She conceded "But I already got a new place to live with it's own gym so having two's kind of a waste. I haven't used anything I haven't needed at least."

She was stuck in another verbal trap. If she said she was on top, Lukretia would probably spare no expense to bring her back down to earth, if she didn't say she was that was probably a fast track in the German's mind as who to make her new bitch. If she said that she was rising up (like Cecilia was, picking up what she knew of german from her training days) then she'd probably get put in another test like the I quit match. Only this time it'd be against her friend, and she was never good at keeping it together fighting friends. "Uh, well...I... I've got a few things to do before then?" She guessed, trying to work her way around the minefield "The thing is, both me and Cec have much different targets so It's hard to tell."

And that was probably a dumb thing to say too...

Lukretia looked at Cecelia and smiled. "Jawhol." She said. "Zis is vat I think as vell. One must use ze tools zey are given to be able to decide if zey vish to be veak or stong. Und once zey decide, if zey decide, zen sey must know zere place und not try to pretend to be something zey are not."

She looked over at Adrian and raised her eyebrow. "Oh? Vat is your target, frauline?" She asked, genuinely curious about Adrian's 'goals'

Adrian balked. Her current goal was Taylor's title, but saying that flat out would probably be a bad thing, considering the last two times Lukretia got directly involved in arranging matches. Maybe... go for something silly, something out of reach for now but was something the cosplayer did have her eyes on when she first joined up. "Well my goal was to work my way into your group, backstab my way up the ranks and steal your job as commissioner so I could have a comfortable office job and let a team of secretaries do the work for me while I took regular day trips to spas for 'creative inspiration'." That should probably do it.
