I always get nervous when the boss rings me.
With good reason! XD
I had a region person who asked me why I always asked what did I do wrong when they called. I said because you only call me when something is wrong. She was put off by that and said sometimes she calls just to talk and she talked for a little bit then said the reason I called is because you did this wrong…..
Yes it is okay to get nervous when the boss calls.
Boss calls out of the blue are always ominous.
Sabrina’s summons to judgement.
It is interesting that the truth is delivered by word to Sabrina by people of oriental origin. It could have come from any number of American female wrestlers, but it was Sun who first telegraphed the bad vibes. And now, boss man himself is calling. Fitting in the land of Zen Buddhism. Ummmm hmmm! I can not wait to her what he has to say! The force of transformation are now in motion. The path Sabrina was on willbe altered. I wonder how this is going to play out in the ring for Sabby?
OK, lotsa stage settings. What’s coming down to climax the whole thing?
I think Albone doesn’t know where to take this so he is drawing it out while he decides.
XD I’m 15 pages ahead and have the whole next chapter written.
YEAH!
Jealously is not an attractive quality.
*shake head*
And hmmm…when I gets called by the boss, I have to fight someone twice my size!!
Nods I do understand but then again a lot of fighters like you are twice my size. Good luck against Godzuki.
Sun does seem pretty upset, eh? Size difference aside, your matches are always killer. 😉
Well…
Now that you mention it…
There’s a Brand New One right over there!
*points*
That Cosette Leblanc, looking like butter wouldn’t melt!
I have to say that even I’m nervous about what comes next… 🙁
Breath in breath out now relax.
Big things coming…
I will still stick with my crazy idea that Cocoa beat up Sun.
Definitely not a crazy idea and would answer and open up a lot of questions.
See, I relish calls from the boss, but then I generally know it’s because my performance has been so amazing that it means he or she can’t ignore my latest request.
Yeah… too bad it’s never your IN RING performance they’re impressed with.
ka-ching!
Maybe that’s what’s going on here? Or not. 😛
“So Sabrina, i’m really impressed with your performance to date and think that you and Cocoa Rococco would make an excellent tag team together so we’ll be putting you together as the ‘American Dynamos’ as you represent both North and South America. You’re Welcome.”
“So Sabrina what ws that about.?”
“Um, it was the boss Sunshine and um..” touches the tips of one finger together nervously as she stammers “he wants me and Cocoa to team together.”
They would be such a great tag team! I think their first match should be against the Syndicate. 😉
This is bad jealousy. Crazy jealousy. Seriously, how soon is Sun gonna cook Sabrina’s rabbit?
In, 3…2…
Oh boy…. surprise calls from the boss are never a good thing
Just think if the call came from Atlas…!
How awesome would it be if this were a prank call….
SABBY: Oh, hello there Mr. Takahashi.
MR T: Is your refrigerator running?
SABBY: I’m sorry?
MR T: Your refrigerator. The big white box large enough to fit a body inside. In your giant American-sized apartment. Is it running?
SABBY: Um, yes…I think so.
MR T: Better go check it. You would not want it to run away with a smaller, Asian refrigerator in a foreign land. Ha ha ha! I made a funny!
I’m reading a book based in Tokyo (the writer, Natsuo Kirino, lives there) and she paints a different picture than you. Not saying you’re wrong but it seems that one-bedroom studio apartments aren’t as scarce as you might think considering a middle-aged woman working 3rd shift at a Box-lunch factory can afford one, while supporting her child and mother-in-law. Yes, it’s a tight fit the three of them, but would you say that Sabrina has more resources than that?
The joke is about refrigerator size. And the American-sized fridge having a thing for the smaller, Asian fridge. It was a joke in poor taste.
Yes, there are larger apartments in Tokyo, but the typical layouts of the apartments are quite different than typical American apartments.
You and I have spoken about this a few times, and there’s always an exception to the rule. Clearly Sabby is getting the hook up, and perhaps Rival Angels found her a more American layout apartment to help decrease the culture shock of being in another country – one that is often quite different from where Sabby is coming from.
However, the culture and environment doesn’t seem to be the focus of your story. Like any savvy writer, you continue to focus on the characters. Which is good, since they propel your narrative forward. And they are also what your audience is invested in. 😉
I know they say that if you have to explain a joke, it loses the funny but that me LOL. XD
