Female Dice Fighters

A thin mist of century-old dust hangs over the rough, makeshift ring, glittering orange in the glare of probably two dozen large, bare-filament incandescent globes hanging on their wires from cobwebbed rafters. Even buried nearly 30 feet beneath the Anne G. Jacobs Memorial Gymnasium, it’s a sweltering ninety degrees in the ring, the basement warmed up by the burning orange-yellow lights and the heat of a hundred or so bodies crowding around, wedged in like sardines. Voices echo off the mostly bare concrete walls filling the room with a churning, rumbling din.

I take a deep breath, my ripped, unbuttoned daisy dukes stretching taut around my butt as I grip the coarse-wound jute rope and clamber up into the ring, the leather soles of my rawhide boots rustling against the dirt-stained canvas, leaving dusty footprints in their wake. Some of the voices in the front row hush, eager eyes tracking my every move as I swing a glistening thigh up over the middle rope. I slip into our little squared circle, emerald eyes sparkling with the reflections of a hundred incandescent lamps as they sweep across the small, but very exclusive crowd.

I softly tug down on the hem of my blue flannel top, tied in a knot directly beneath my softly heaving bosom, as I take in the small sea of tattered tied-off tees, ripped jeans, yoga shorts frayed thin, and sports bras so ragged they could pass as shop rags. It’s all something of a veneer, of course. Half of the cold-blooded bitches here could probably buy the building without a second thought. A good eighth could buy the block. Although, not everyone here bleeds blue. Some just happened to know the right person. Others could be called ‘ringers,’ paid to fight in honor of a full club member (which was about the only way these ‘benefactresses’ could remain members without at least the occasional dance on the canvas).

Butterflies flutter in my belly as I carefully, slowly, take a deep breath, trying to look confident as I raise the mic to my lips. “Well, here we all are,” I purr, a hush passing over the sweltering basement, my soft, husky, heavily amplified whisper echoing around the bare concrete walls as my lovely assistant dims the lights. “This little club of ours has come a long way… and it all comes down to tonight. The night of the big dance. I hope you’re ready.”

Whispers flit through the moist air, little sparks in the night. “Four fights each. Five points for a win. Three for a loss. And... a big, juicy zero for anyone who doesn’t show. Fighters pick the rules. If you don’t both agree, then standard club rules apply, and anything goes. And I do mean… anything.” A mischievous grin tugs at my glistening lips as I let the mic lean to the side, left hand on my slowly swaying hips as an excited buzz rises up, electrifying the moist, hazy-orange air. “So… what do you say, lovelies? You in?”

You can have an NHB fight, a boxing match, a catfight, a pro match, a pure sexfight, whatever you would please. However, if either fighter disagrees with a variance, then the default rules control

• Change your stats or character class(es) between matches

  • Real life happens

  • Please PM me for a substitute match if for any reason things are not working out
