Indie RP blog for Hope from the movie the Bronze. This blog is AU and I will leave her age as is in the movie and the years will change depending on which verse its set in.

Hope was ecstatic to hear that she had one of her students going to the world championships in Japan for two reasons, one of which it meant that her student had made an accomplishment in herself but it also meant that she could see her friend Hiro again. She had kept in touch fairly regularly but figured she'd surprise him when she got there, and so that's what she did. While her student and her parents were out sightseeing and everything she had decided to take a visit to Hiro's place. "Hey big sumo man come out!" She called playfully as she knocked on his door.

Alright so for anyone curious I made an RP blog for the character of Sasha from the movie Tetris. She's a sideblog so I'll follow back from here but her @ is @kgbtranslator

Hope was in Japan it wasn't the Olympics but one of her students was in an international gymnastics competition and she had to be there for her student. That being said though Hope was still fairly her usual vulgar self and self and that got her a lot of looks from the locals, that and her wearing her Olympic tracksuit which she hardly went anywhere without. As she made it to her hotel and after dropping her student off at her room she decided that she was going to get a drink. Stepping into the elevator she saw she wasn't alone, there was another guy inside of it. "So how're you?" She asked, giving him a sideways glance.

[olympicxbronzed]

Hope took immense joy in talking about Gymnastics, she had spent her whole childhood learning and preparing, so talking about it came out of memory. "The uneven bars are a set of two different bars that have different heights. You do different spins, twirls, flips, anything really in your routine. When I was in the Olympics I scored a 9.3 and that was with my ruptured Achilles, it got me a bronze but at least I beat out the ruskies."

[themassmaster-deactivated202507]

"Very impressive." He mused before he would then find himself looking at her ankle curiously. That didn't sound very pleasant. "I'm sure you would have won gold easily." He'd say before adding. "Shame, you don't compete anymore. It would have been nice to see you in action."

[olympicxbronzed]

She caught his glance to her ankle which in turn brought her attention to it. Of course now, years later you'd never be able to tell just by sight. "I always say if I had stuck my landing on the balance beam and not gotten injured I'd have won gold." She thought about her old times, which brought an idea to her mind, the hotel they were at was only a short walk away from where the competition was being held. "When we get out of here, I could show you. Sure I'm not how I was in the Olympics but I'm sure I'm still good." She offered, trying to be nice.

[themassmaster-deactivated202507]

"I'd like that." He'd say to her as he'd then add. "I'd like that a lot." He mused before he would then ask. "Did it heal properly?" He asks curiously. "Your injury, that is?"

[olympicxbronzed]

The question stung like a swarm of bees. "It would have but against docs recommendations I went back into training, ruptured it again. By the time I was able to compete again I'd lost my edge. I can still do everything, just not as good as an Olympian. It really fucked me up if I'm honest." It was hard for her to admit, especially to a stranger, but an athlete for any sort should be able to relate.

[themassmaster-deactivated202507]

He found himself frowning as he'd listened. It's such a shame. Hiroyuki would gaze her ankle as he'd then comment. "I'm sorry to hear that. It's such a shame that happened to you." He'd say before adding. "I've had myself similar situations. Injuries that knocked back in rank because I had lost my own edge." He mused before he'd sign. "I guess that's why I haven't become a yokozuna yet and the biggest and best of em all."

[olympicxbronzed]

"I blamed everyone for me not being able to compete anymore but it's only just recently that I came to terms with everything." She told him. Perhaps they could actually get along, they had a lot in common. Just then she felt the elevator start to move again, bringing a mix of relief and joy. "Thank God, didn't want to spend all night in this thing.' she admitted as they went down the floors.

[themassmaster-deactivated202507]

He could understand where she came from. Listening to her, Hiroyuki was about to speak up before he would then feel that the elevator would begin to move once again. They were incredibly lucky, it seemed. Smiling, he'd then speak up. "Yeah. We weren't in here for too long, I think." He stated before he was then beginning to slip his geta on.

[olympicxbronzed]

Hope watched as they came to the ground floor. "Alright follow me and I'll show you my routine." She commented , stepping out of the elevator as she slipped her track jacket back on. Before walking out of the lobby of the hotel, hoping her new friend was following. "So let me preface this by asking to please forgive me on how bad I'm gonna do, I haven't done my Olympic routine in twelve years, so I'm rusty." She admitted, what she didn't want to admit was that it had been years since she'd done proper gymnastics in general.

[themassmaster-deactivated202507]

How could he not follow her? There was no way he was going to be missing seeing her in action, especially when she had been in the Olympics. Following along, he'd smiled as he'd then speak up. "It's alright. I'm sure you'll do wonderful." He stated truthfully. "I'll have to invite you to one of my tournaments in return so you could see me in action."

[olympicxbronzed]

"You know I'd really like that." She responded. "You know if you really wanted to see me in action, you could just look up my Olympics video online, I'm sure it's there." She chuckled as they walked a few blocks before reaching a venue that her student would be performing at in her own competition. It was all but empty, besides maybe a janitor and maybe another competitor and their coach but nothing that would get in the way of her showing Hiroyuki her routine. Making her way to the uneven bars, she took off her jacket before she got some chalk before powdering her hands down.

It didn't take her long to shake the nerves out and do her routine, almost flawlessly from her performance in the Olympics. Going back over to her friend she gave a slight out of breath smile. "Well there ya go, I'm surprised I was able to get it, besides that landing, but that I had trouble even when I was training."

[themassmaster-deactivated202507]

"No, it's a grand champion. Highest rank in my sport." He explained before he would find himself watching her as she attempted to slip up. As the handrail broke, Hiroyuki would then nod. "Alright. Let's give it a shot." He stated before he was then moving to a better position to assist her. "I don't think it's going to work. It looks like it's really bolted up there."

[olympicxbronzed]

As she was lifted up she tried to push on what should have been a hatch but like he noted it was bolted shut. "Okay you can lower me down" she commented, taking his advice from earlier and not getting angry at it not going her way.

"Well I guess we better get comfy then, dunno how long we'll be in here." She commented, looking towards the doors hoping that they'd be opened by some rescue team.

[themassmaster-deactivated202507]

Setting her down carefully, Hiroyuki would sigh. It wasn't an ideal situation. He had himself somewhere to be, and well, now they were stuck. "You're right. It's best we do get comfortable. We're going to be here for a fair bit." He'd say before he would then begin to slip down and sat down by the wall. "Well, we might as well talk to pass the time." He suggested. "Any ideas?" He inquiries.

[olympicxbronzed]

As Hope settled down in one of the corners she gave a sigh. She didn't like this at all and she didn't have her phone to call for help or listen to any music. She did appreciate how nice her companion seemed. "Well first thing, I do want to say you speak pretty good English, considering this ain't America." She observed, not trying to be rude or offensive. "Also I'd like to hear more about your sport. Wrestling isn't really something I ever gave two shits about but I'd live to learn some more.

[themassmaster-deactivated202507]

"Thank you." He remarked as he'd offer her a smile. "I've had a lot of practice. And I went to America a couple of times." He stated before he was then nodding. "Well, where could I even start? It's a fairly straightforward sport. Much different than the wrestling one might think." As he'd begin to speak, he slipped off his wooden geta sandals as he relaxed a bit. "It's simple, really. The goal is to get your opponent out of the dohyō or ring. Any part of the body that touches the ground besides the barefeet results in a loss." He stated.

[olympicxbronzed]

"Hmm that actually sounds pretty interesting." She commented "Straightforward, is definitely something that I prefer, even with Gymnastics, when I still competed that is, it was pretty straightforward." She compared the two. Of course the sports were completely different from one another but she could see at least a few similarities. As she sat she took off her track jacket. "Jeez it must have been a power outage cause the AC stopped workin'." She commented with a shrug.

[themassmaster-deactivated202507]

"I'm glad to hear that." He'd say as he would then nod in agreement. "I believe you're right." He mused quietly as he did feel a tad warm now that she mentioned it. Well, they'd make do. "Is there anything else you'd like to know about my sport?" He'd ask curiously as he didn't mind answering her questions and curiosities. Perhaps in turn he'd ask her about her sport.

[olympicxbronzed]

"No not anything that I can really think of, I mean I'm sure it's a lot different than what America portrays it in the movies." She chuckled before going into thought for a second. "So, if you have anything you'd like to know about gymnastics, I'm your girl. As a ranking member of the US Olympic women's gymnastics team, I'm sure I could answer anything." She spoke, somewhat bragging.

[themassmaster-deactivated202507]

"Well, is there a dress code in Gymnastics?" He asked curiously. "How does gymnastics work?" He continues to ask as he'd gaze at Hope. "I'm a little unfamiliar with the sport. I know of it, but I'm not as knowledgeable as others or yourself."

[olympicxbronzed]

"So for the Olympics we had to wear a leotard, of course you don't really wear shoes or anything. As for how it works, it's really just a bunch of moves choreographed together and 90 percent being eye candy for the judges, gymnastics is so easy a trained monkey could do it." She tried to explain. "You see when you do gymnastics you do everything but a lot of gymnasts have specialties, mine happened to be the uneven bars."

We're going to be here for a fair bit." He'd say before he would then begin to slip down and sat down by the wall. "Well, we might as well talk to pass the time." He suggested. "Any ideas?" He inquiries.

[olympicxbronzed]

As Hope settled down in one of the corners she gave a sigh. She didn't like this at all and she didn't have her phone to call for help or listen to any music. She did appreciate how nice her companion seemed. "Well first thing, I do want to say you speak pretty good English, considering this ain't America." She observed, not trying to be rude or offensive. "Also I'd like to hear more about your sport. Wrestling isn't really something I ever gave two shits about but I'd live to learn some more.

[themassmaster-deactivated202507]

"Thank you." He remarked as he'd offer her a smile. "I've had a lot of practice. And I went to America a couple of times." He stated before he was then nodding. "Well, where could I even start? It's a fairly straightforward sport. Much different than the wrestling one might think." As he'd begin to speak, he slipped off his wooden geta sandals as he relaxed a bit. "It's simple, really. The goal is to get your opponent out of the dohyō or ring. Any part of the body that touches the ground besides the barefeet results in a loss." He stated.

[olympicxbronzed]

"Hmm that actually sounds pretty interesting." She commented "Straightforward, is definitely something that I prefer, even with Gymnastics, when I still competed that is, it was pretty straightforward." She compared the two. Of course the sports were completely different from one another but she could see at least a few similarities. As she sat she took off her track jacket. "Jeez it must have been a power outage cause the AC stopped workin'." She commented with a shrug.

Hope was in Japan it wasn't the Olympics but one of her students was in an international gymnastics competition and she had to be there for her student. That being said though Hope was still fairly her usual vulgar self and self and that got her a lot of looks from the locals, that and her wearing her Olympic tracksuit which she hardly went anywhere without. As she made it to her hotel and after dropping her student off at her room she decided that she was going to get a drink. Stepping into the elevator she saw she wasn't alone, there was another guy inside of it. "So how're you?" She asked, giving him a sideways glance.

[themassmaster-deactivated202507]

"No, it's a grand champion. Highest rank in my sport." He explained before he would find himself watching her as she attempted to slip up. As the handrail broke, Hiroyuki would then nod. "Alright. Let's give it a shot." He stated before he was then moving to a better position to assist her. "I don't think it's going to work. It looks like it's really bolted up there."

[olympicxbronzed]

As she was lifted up she tried to push on what should have been a hatch but like he noted it was bolted shut. "Okay you can lower me down" she commented, taking his advice from earlier and not getting angry at it not going her way.

"Well I guess we better get comfy then, dunno how long we'll be in here." She commented, looking towards the doors hoping that they'd be opened by some rescue team.

[themassmaster-deactivated202507]

"I'm doing well, and you?" Hiroyuki would ask in return as he'd then ask. "Which floor are you heading to?" He'd ask as he was the closest one towards the buttons on the elevator.

[olympicxbronzed]

"I'm well, now I'm not one for chitchat." She told him, leaning on the wall of the elevator. She was trying to work on being nice to people but she still had a long way to go. "I'm going to the ground floor." She told him before they got on their way down. "So you're here for a competition I assume? That's why they got me holed up in this place."

[themassmaster-deactivated202507]

"That's right." He'd say before he would then begin to press the button on the elevator. "Yes, I'm here for a tournament." He mused quietly. "Nothing too exciting frankly. Most of my fellow competitors I've competed against, so I know their style quite well."

[olympicxbronzed]

"Yeah so cool, so you know I was in the Olympics." She said giving a slight smile. That was typically her first and proudest talking point. "I actually got a medal you know." She bragged. I figure I would've won gold if I hadn't torn my tendon."

[themassmaster-deactivated202507]

"Oh yeah?" He'd say as he'd raise a brow. "That's pretty cool." He stated before asking. "You must have worked hard to do that." He'd say before he would then ask. "Remind me of your name?"

[olympicxbronzed]

"What me tearing my tendon? It wasn't cool. If you mean being in the Olympics, it was the greatest show I've been a part of." She told him, her memories coming to the front of her mind. "I did, I worked hard everyday until I was seventeen and what do I get? I get a torn tendon in my first Olympics but I became an American hero." She told him a slight tone of bitterness in her voice. "I'm Hope, Hope Ann Greggory, that's with three g's not two." She told him brashly.

[themassmaster-deactivated202507]

"Yes, I meant the Olympics part. I'm sorry to hear about your tendon." He corrected before he would then add. "Injuries are the worst. I've had my share..." he stated before adding. "A hero, huh? That's certainly something that you should be proud of." Hiroyuki would say before he would then smile at her. "Nice to meet you Hope. I'm Hiroyuki Koizumi." As he'd say that, the elevator would stop, and Hiroyuki would look at where it stopped. "Strange." He comments somewhat confused by the situation.

[olympicxbronzed]

"Yeah I knew what you meant I was just being sarcastic." She spoke. "And yeah of course you've had injuries, if you don't are you even an athlete?" She spoke, not really expecting or wanting an answer to that question. She didn't really have time to process the name he had told her before she felt the elevator grind to a halt. "Why the fuck are we stopped?" She asked, kicking at the door. "What the fuck is wrong with this stupid elevator." She spoke, kicking the doors a bit with her shoes.

[themassmaster-deactivated202507]

Well, this was a terrible situation. Hiroyuki would take a moment to process it as he'd watch her kick at the doors, but it seemed useless. Perhaps a power outage? He truly didn't have a clue. Dark eyes found themselves gazing at the now blank display that has the buttons underneath it. "And this is why I hate these things..." He'd say with a frown. "Not much we can do, honestly..."

[olympicxbronzed]

Hope was honestly frustrated at the situation. "Well why the hell did this thing break down?" She questioned kicking the doors again, receiving only a slight groan from the doors. "I thought Japan had the the people with the most intelligencies." She commented before sliding down the side of the wall into a sitting position.

[themassmaster-deactivated202507]

"Kicking and screaming isn't going to help fix it." He remarked as he'd then begin to gaze at her as he'd then shake his head at her comment. "I'm sure there are already people working on fixing the elevator." He mused before he would then begin to join her in a seating position, but he would be across from her on the other side.

[olympicxbronzed]

"Ay nobody asked for your opinion sumo fighter." She spoke from the ground. "I hope they're working on it I can't just stay the night here in this stupid elevator." She spoke.

[themassmaster-deactivated202507]

"Well, you don't have much of a choice." He remarked back as he'd once again speak up. Dark eyes found themselves gazing at her as he'd speak. "Just try to relax, and it'll go much quickly."

@olympicxbronzed

[olympicxbronzed]

"I do have a choice, I'm an Olympic champion, I'll climb up the elevator shaft if I have to." She spoke before giving a sigh. She knew that she couldn't always get her way but that never stopped her from trying. After she had gotten home from the Olympics the game went to her head, she enjoyed people thinking she was the best. Sure she would try and change but for her it was hard to accept change and accept the consequences of the change.

[themassmaster-deactivated202507]

Dark eyes found themselves gazing at her as Hiroyuki would then begin to see that someone truly wad determined to get whatever she desires. He could appreciate that. To some people, it could be a bit too much. "Well, I'm almost a yokozuna, so it seems like we're more than capable of getting out of this." He'd say before adding. "If you'd like a hand getting up there, I don't mind lifting you up." He offered her. "I'm pretty sure it'll be quite dark up there."

[olympicxbronzed]

"The hell is a Yokozuna? That a type of sushi?" She asked, blue eyes looking towards the ceiling of the elevator. Fixing her ponytail first, she climbed onto the small handrails around the edge of the elevator to try and open the door. As she reached though there was a groaning sound before the railing broke off the wall, not meant to support the weight of a person. "Okay maybe I could use your help getting up." She conceded.
