The Lies of Peasants (Utami/Neo Biishiki Gun)
Posted: Mon Jul 31, 2023 10:37 pm
We see a locker room door aside from the general usage one, much like a Crimson Queen once insisted on. Now as then, a nameplate reveals who resides within - elegant golden scrollwork spelling out the name Sakisama. Michael Cole shifts into view and then knocks on the door rather loudly. There are a few awkward moments of silence before the door cracks open and we see the face of Utami, still dressed as a maid for reasons only known to Neo Biishiki-Gun.
Utami: "Yes? What is it? Mademoiselle is quite busy."
The former Crimson Queen's brow furrows as she waits for him to say anything. In the background we hear soft piano music playing from an unknown source.
Michael Cole: "Utami Hayashishita, tonight y-"
She shakes her head violently.
Utami: "Do not call me that."
Michael Cole: "What do you mean?"
Utami: "Utami Hayshishita. I'm a much simpler woman now, so I'm going by only Utami. Family names don't matter to me when I'm finally in the service of someone who actually deserves recognition."
Michael Cole: "Allright, Utami. Tonight Neo Biishiki-Gun will face Liv N Bliss in tag team action. It's the first time you and Sakisama have officially teamed up in a match, so how are you feeling going into this contest?"
Utami: "How am I feeling? I'm overjoyed that at last I get to fight alongside the most elegant, beautiful and dominant woman in the world. It's truly an honor just to be in her presence, and I'm delighted to fight for the beautiful world she wants to bring about. She's shown me how wrong I was to try and be something I'm not. This is the first time I've known real peace with myself. Sakisama saved me from myself, so there's nothing I wouldn't do for her."
Michael Cole: "Which brings me to my next question. What's the reason behind Neo Biishiki-Gun's recent assault of Alexa Bliss?"
Utami's eyes narrow and her frown grows more stern.
Utami: "Alleged assault."
Michael Cole: "Alleged? Are you saying that Neo Biishiki-Gun wasn't involved in attacking Alexa Bliss?"
Utami nods vehemently.
Utami: "Of course we had nothing to do with it. Do you think Mademoiselle would waste her time with such a pathetic, broken woman like Alexa Bliss? This is heinous slander! They're just lying because they refuse to let go of the grudge they hold against me."
Michael Cole: "If it wasn't Neo Biishiki-Gun, then who would have done such a thing?"
Utami shrugs.
Utami: "It doesn't matter. She seems to make enemies everywhere she goes, so is it really any surprise that she got herself beaten down yet again? It's tradition by this point."
Michael Cole: "How can you say that after she was taken to a medical facility?"
Utami's frown deepens.
Utami: "It's a fact, plain and simple. She's stupid and tries to rise above her station. That's one of the ugliest lies someone can tell themselves, that they're better than they really are. We didn't attack her but we will show her the error of her ways tonight. Beauty will win over ugliness every time."
Sakisama: "Utami-chan, enough chatter."
Utami curtsies and slams the door in Michael Cole's face as the scene fades out.
Utami: "Yes? What is it? Mademoiselle is quite busy."
