Everything has finally caught up to Sabrina. Sun has always told Sabrina that ‘it’s okay to cry, just don’t let anyone see you doing it.’
Voting Incentive!
What’s coming up on Wednesday? The fight card is out and Shamrox and Kaci are ‘discussing’ it.
Poor Sabby… check out the VI… Sabrina is facing an interesting foe.
Yes she is. The sign of the Kitten…beware.
Thanks for checking the voting incentive! 😀
Awww Of all the people to call, it’s Sun. That says a lot.
And Brina’s up against Cocoa. Interesting choice there. But ummm how’s she being billed? Gimmick? Tag? I know. All things in good time LoL
Sabrina, wrestling in her third promotion that we know of, has apparently just learned that sometimes your little buddies don’t always travel with you. And that limo is so big and lonely! Ugh, spare me. If she wants something to cry about, she should turn down the limo and try the Tokyo subways.
My buddy Pete (the English fellow who wrote the rugby Prologue) was telling me the hell of a time he had when using the Tokyo subways!
Getting around in Japan can be an interesting challenge. I can see them giving the American’s rides and such to keep them from getting lost and all.
As for her crying over nothing it could be in part because she has been so overwhelmed that the little things sent her over the edge.
Good story about an American in Japan: Lost in Translation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_in_Translation_%28film%29
As much as the brass want to sell tickets with Sabrina, they also want her to be reasonably happy too. Good call on the challenging trips that Americans might go through trying to get around.
Champ, that’s how I roll! All in good time, and I promise you won’t have to wait too long.
Coel, that was a brilliant story.
Very nice work with the art on this page.
The only thing I have to wonder about with this page is why she is in such a big place. A mansion in Toyoka is only 900 square feet.
Thanks Chris!
You are correct, Snowy. This is to show how the brass feels about Sabrina being here and her reacting to that.
I really like Sabrina to win against Cocoa..
and Blackwidow to win against Shamrox
and waaa!! Sabrina is wearing Neko suki shirt?
I mean hello kitty…
Sun and Sabrina like to rock the Choco and Hello Kitty apparel. XD We’ll be seeing at least parts of those matches, if not the whole thing.
and.. waaa!! Kaci VS ??
I really like to see Kaci lose.. but she’ll win this time..
but when Kaci faced Sabrina..
Sabrina for the win
Sounds good to me, then Sabrina loses when I show up for a guest appearance.
Kaci is a tough cookie. Maybe Kaci vs Snow Kitten?!
This may show my age, but I swear I hear this song playing during the scene. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEfCFSrrF-Y
Wow cool song. Is that one of the 1950’s groups?
It was written in 1976 according to the video and an awesome choice ALURKER for theme music on this one. 🙂
I concur.
I knew that was who she’d be calling. Very sweet.
Can’t blame her for crying. After a first day in Japan like that, and no clue when it will end… yikes.
He needs to call back sing to her: you are my sunshine, my only sunshine.
Yeah, it’s all just so much to take for one lonely Ultragirl.
Snowy, that’s a sweet song.
Gah!
‘Brina!
Should have called me, I would totally have answered!
Reminds me of my first day without my dad coming with me 🙁
It was strange when I first stepped out on my own too. I know this is not her first time out on her own but add in strange country and it is.
Golden Girl, if she didn’t use up the last of her willpower on that last bit, she totally would’ve cried on your shoulder, so to speak.
Right on, Snowy.
And now the stress is finally catching up to Sabrina. 🙁
Poor girl, she’s going to have a few tough months ahead of herself dealing with this change. 🙁
Well the one piece of good news for her is that they will keep her busy and a busy mind doesn’t have to dwell on the what if’s.
Definitely some tough times ahead for our little Ultragirl. Hopefully, this’ll be one of the few ‘bad’ days. And yes! A busy mind is a happy one.
First off: The awesome WIDOW IS NOT A HIPPO!!!! 😛
Second off: Panel six needs to be made into a promo poster. LMAO
Third off: Somebody send “Brina a best friend USPS first class with a box of jelly donuts and a fresh change of underoos because it’s a well known fact that everyone forgets to pack enough underoos to get through an extended trip exotic locations and you can only turn those things out so many times before even the soap and water trick won’t even cut it..
Fourth off: I still haven’t figured out which is the better image, Black Widow wearing something other than loose fitting baggy stuff that looks like a garbage bag on her awesome frame or Brenda chasing the Catgirls with a spritzer bottle. and since I can’t make up my mind. Which leads to the sudden repulsive thought that I may be accused of channeling JSN…
I’m off
Or 5th Catgirls in wet t-shirts. Thanks a lot Brenda.
@Brenda Rua and Snowy: Or better yet, Catgirls in wet t-shirt with Brenda in a combo Catgirl submission maneuver. (I wonder when the Brenda Rua and the Catgirls comic is coming out?)
LAFFS! Guys you made me spill my coffee *does a cover of panel 6*
Bitsy’s not a hippo. But she is hippy. Maybe that’s why lurker picked up on a 70s band?
@(I wonder when the Brenda Rua and the Catgirls comic is coming out?)
yes Albone..
when will Brenda Rua and Catgirls comic coming out..
The next person to call Bitsy a hippo earns a good swift kick to the family jewels. Bitsy is hardly out of shape.
I think a Brenda/Catgirls comic would be outstanding. You think there’s some interest in something like that? 😉
Black IS slimming, but Bitsy is a total babe. Don’t let Sabrina’s reaction convince you otherwise. In fact, she’d probably be totally flattering if she weren’t just jumped.
Awww It’s flattering and tempting. But I don’t think it would sustain. The catgirls could work the necko thing except that’s pretty niche. The upstarts are cute, got variety and have long careers ahead of them – with plenty of mistakes yet to be made heheee
We totally miss Sun too 🙂 and feel a little guilty that Sabrina is only 6,000ish miles away from her. I’m sure she’ll find the ropes of this new league… it’s only temporary… right?
Temporary is in the eye of the beholder. I think she’ll be back in Rival Angels again, but sooner…or later?
I kinda feel for Sabrina here. Her first day in Japan and it’s already been a whirlwind. No “easing into it”, they stuck her into a match her first night in, and there’s already been controversy. Add to it the fact that her new “stablemates” did jack Sh*t to help her, and the person who DID help her isn’t on friendly terms with the people she’s supposed to be hanging around with. And it’s all compounded by the fact that she doesn’t have any friends to hang with, or vent to, or lean on when she needs the emotional support… It’s going to be a tough time for Brina.
Co-sign. And to think this all started with a teeny-tiny wedding day catfight…
i think Brina may need to adjust ehr timezones as well. if it’s nighttime in japan it’s what early AM in RA timezone? even dragons need their sleepy tme. which will lead to tons of phone tag as Sun wakes up to call brina back who is fast asleep, who then wakes up and …wash/rinse/repeat
i notice 3 women’s matches according to the sheet- assuming that the partially covered one says “Kaci vs. richochet” . thought you had said earlier there was only 1 segment with the women per show- which was why kaci had to go to the back and calm the girls down that brina was getting a match. or is this a house show so there’s more leeway with the card?
Phone tag-game…on! An excellent observation about the girls getting 3 matches. Definitely TV time here. Take into account what the girls have been saying about Takashi and Atlas, with the fact that some new blood is here in the form of Sabrina and Cocoa AND, they (the brass) do know that the ladies sell. Will it happen all the time, this exposure? We’ll have to wait and see.
Sabrina is going to fight Almond Rocca’s little sister?
Is that a candy bar reference? lol
Whoa whoa whoa. This is in Tokyo, right? She’s got a huge living room, an elevated bed (in a different room, I assume, from her walking down a hall and entering through a door), and possibly a western-style toilet?
For reference, a 40 square foot apartment, 1 bedroom, previously furnished, in Tokyo could start at 152,000 yen (approximately $1,849 per month). However, this place looks a lot larger than that.
Yeah, this place would set back Rival Angels a few bucks…a few thousand bucks per month! And if Sabby’s the only girl there (as opposed to her 2-3 bedroom apartment in Chicago, which she shared with 3 other girls), that’s a lot of investment for one person.
My question to you is, how do I become a professional female wrestler? Because I want this apartment in Tokyo all expenses paid….
Yep! Sabrina has a one-bedroom suite. I know some places have you sleeping on the floor but Takashi and Atlas have the hookup when it comes to putting up their overseas talent.
As for you becoming a professional female wrestler….Sabrina would say, “work hard.” XD
Al the last page reminded me of and old addage “bad allies are about as useful as good enemies.” but yeah it sucks being alone Bree wish i could give ya a hug look like your really in need of a good one
She *could* use a hug, Comichero! Cool adage too. I’ll have to remember that one.
You know if you wanna be a pal you could have me come swingin on a rope into her room to give her one or a dozen or more hugs I’d gladly offer up my body and soul to Bree to make her feel better. No problem, anytime on the adage glad I could give ya that gem from history dont recall whom said it tho, you know, I did a cursory google search and cant find whom said it so I think i just bacame a philsopher I’ might have to retire to a beach some place and contumplate the universe and its infinite mysteries.
Cuute, Brine is wearing a Hello Kitty Shirt! 😀 lol
Its normal to feel sad and desoriented when you change place to live, far from everyone you know.
