[Those out in the plaza today might notice a strange sight: a man in a suit with a familiar mane of blue hair and a very... ODD mask. In fact, that man might bear more than a slight resemblance to one Regal Bryant, but if you call him that, you may not get an answer.

No, the man lurking the streets right now is EL PRESIDENTE, and he's on the lookout for anyone to challenge to a competition of strength. Namely, wrestling. Dare you challenge this large and rather imposing fellow?]

[Does Sokka want to fight? Not really... but he does want to see this guy in action. This guy reminds him of those Earth Nation wrestlers.]

[Hey, he recognizes you.]

You're that boy from the other day. I wanted to thank you for helping take care of Mayoi--

[... wait, he's supposed to be a wrestler.]

I mean, would you care to wrestle?

[Action]

[markofthewise]

Uh, Sokka. Yeah. [Long Pause.]


... yeah, no thanks. You're huge.

[lezareno_prez]

If you are worried about my strength, I can assure you that I will hold back if that is what you wish.

[Action]

[markofthewise]

But wouldn't I need a mask too? I'd feel silly if I didn't have one.

[lezareno_prez]

Considering that I found this in the store, it's quite likely there may be others like it there as well.

[ McCoy has probably been kicked out the house because of his bad fortunes at this point and watches the masked man stalk past. Good God, what an ugly mask. ]

[lezareno_prez]

[... hello, what's this? This man looks like a potential challenger.]

Excuse me, but could I interest you in a wrestling match?

[hippocraticly.livejournal.com]

[ McCoy raises an eyebrow at the offer. ]

Does it look like I'm interesting in brawling with someone wearing a stretched swim cap over their face?

[lezareno_prez]

This is a traditional luchador mask, used in a wrestling style popular in the Earth region of Mexico. I read about it in a book I found in the library.

[hippocraticly.livejournal.com]

Are you a Mexican?

[lezareno_prez]

No, I am not. I simply found it a fascinating practice and wished to try my hand at it-- think of it as a change of pace.

[koko-ni-iru.livejournal.com]

[ Stare. Well, how many people have blue-hair in Luceti? Will call out to you now.] So you were affected as well?

[lezareno_prez]

It seems that way, though I find I cannot really complain about this. I was long overdue for a change of pace; I simply didn't realize it until now.

[koko-ni-iru.livejournal.com]

Oh.

...So you're a proffesional wrestler now? [This is sorta fascinating. In the time he's from Mexico has been long destroyed. Even if it hadn't, they would no longer have time for frivolous pursuits like wrestling anyway.]

[lezareno_prez]

Until this experiment is over, yes, but it's not quite as exciting as I had hoped it would be due to the lack of willing opponents.

[koko-ni-iru.livejournal.com]

Hmm... You could wait at the barracks? Because of the cold weather most people would be training indoors... no, wait...

[lezareno_prez]

Hm, you may be onto something there... that is, assuming that those who usually train there have not chosen other occupations as well.

...... [ um. staring. is that who she thinks it is. ]

[Action]

[lezareno_prez]

[Why yes, yes it is.]

Good afternoon, Xion. Could I interest you in a wrestling match?

[... because that would TOTALLY be a fair competition there.]

[Action]

[fourteen]

G-Good afternoon... [ that would be terrifying ... if she knew what that was. ] Um, what's wrestling?

[Action]

[lezareno_prez]

Wrestling is a sport that employs grappling techniques, the intent being to pin your opponent to the ground for a certain length of time. There are various styles, each with differing moves and rules.

[ UM. laughs a little. ]

Sorry, that doesn't sound like something I'd be very good at. You'd beat me in a second!

[throwshammers.livejournal.com]

[Strange, this man with the funny mask looks very familiar...]

[Action]

[lezareno_prez]

Colette.

[He nods in greeting. Someone who might actually make a good opponent!]

Could I interest you in a match?
