IGGY SWANGO Experience Presents:
Lady Stardust & the Absolute Worst
Writers note: This is a heavily reworked/butchered RP I was unable to turn in. Its meant to fill some gaps and carry Iggy's personal story forward. This take first part takes place before the Rampage premiere.
Contrary to popular belief, the Universe began in just about every way imaginable (and perhaps even some that are not). Out of this profusion of beginnings, like a blend of a God’s eye view of every conceivable kind of creation, the vast majority of the baby universes withered away to leave the mature cosmos that we can see today. And sometime during this confusion and chaos, Lady Stardust was born.
Birthed from the remnants of dead stars and Yamaha synthesizers, Iggy Stardust watched from a distance as life and the EWC unfolded. Sensing danger, she made her grand entrance in an attempt to bring salvation to the world through her music. However, with the EWC on hiatus, Lady Stardust had to put her goals on hold, and instead focusing something even greater...
Her love life. The challenge was tougher than she imagined.
"So ugh, you know why they call it a Pina Colada?"
Slurp
"The name literally means "strained pineapple" a reference to the freshly pressed and strained pineapple juice used in the drink's preparation."
Slurp
"Anyway, the legend goes that a Puerto Rican pirate named Roberto Cofresí, to boost his crew's morale, gave them a beverage or cocktail that contained coconut, pineapple and white rum. This was what would be later known as the famous piña colada. Betcha didn't know that did ya?"
Slurp
Iggy sat there smiling. It wasn't a genuine smile out of happiness or elation, but rather a forced smile trying to hide the genuine pain she was in. The man across from her continued to drone on and on...
"Anyway, these drinks aren't for me. I prefer a nice refreshing Steel Reserve...
Restraining herself from banging her head repeatedly against the table, Iggy raised her looked around and motioned the bartender for another drink. She quickly excused herself and made her way over to the jukebox. After some deliberating, she made her selection and slowly made her way back to her table. After some time, a fresh serving of her trademark drink came to her table. Taking a deep breath, she began to sip, and for that brief moment, she was happy.
"So you are a wrestler, eh? I saw that in your profile and looked into it. I must say, I am impressed by what you bring to the table. Its crazy that you look even better in person. Definitely my thing, I can appreciate a woman who can throw me around and smother me..."
Not wanting to hear where this was going, Iggy quickly interrupted and changed the subject
Iggy: "So tell my Max Daniels, it says you own your own business. How's that going for you?"
Max: "Well , truthfully it can be going better. I run a private security business, but things have taken a turn for the worst. Right now I'm looking for bodyguard work - preferably for a body that requires very little guarding. I have no references available, amd my last client was possibly murdered. But that's the way things go right? I mean look at your wrestling career. You were a tag champ, a footnote as international champ. Right now you are just another face in a crowd...
Iggy: "Yeah, times are tough, but Im certain things are going to go my way. I am in the best shape of my life, and I'm not just going to sit around and wait for things to come my way. This is the year of Lady Stardust!
Passion poured from her voice for the first time this evening. Max sat across from her, adjusting his ponytail. Finally, her song came on. Iggy began to play air keyboard as the intro to Hold the Line came on. Max's face turn to total disgust.
Max: "Fucking Toto. Nothing but a bunch of one hit wonders if you ask me."
Iggy grabbed her phone and quickly sent a message.
Max: "Now Dave Matthews band, that is real music. If you play your cards right, you can come over and check out my record collection. We will have to keep it quiet though, because my parents have work in the morning...
He continued to talk. As his attention was turned on the woman across from him, Max turned as he felt strong presence behind him. Slowly he turned to find Rory Hyland, the hired muscle of DSR Volume II. Cowering in fear, Max Daniels quickly made a run for the exit. Rory took a seat next to his friend and associate. Being a responsible designated driver, he sips his Shirley Temple.
Rory: "Surprised you didn't murder him on the spot when he disrespected Toto in front of you. I'm proud of you."
Iggy: "I really wanted to, but dude wasn't even worth it. Rory, I've made a decision. Not to be dramatic or anything, but I am going to give up dating forever."
Iggy takes a sip from her drink.
Rory: "Not every guy is this big a loser.
Iggy: "You're probably right. I mean this guy was at least a step up from Pot Belly Frank. I still can't believe Cyrus tried to set me up with him."
Rory: "Anyway, don't give up. I'm sure there is a Mr. Right out there for ya. What about that lad with Nessie in his trousers?"
Lady stardust raises an eyebrow.
Iggy: "Dio? He's a good dude, but he's really not good at taking hints. He's fun to talk to though. It's fun to see how much I can get away with saying to him."
Rory: "Mhm..."
Iggy: "What does that mean?"
Iggy: "Earlier, I overheard you say that this is the year of Iggy. You were going after what you wanted... guess that was all talk. Anyway, lets get out of here. You and Mel have training in the morning.
The two walk towards Rory's car, which was parked right outside of the restaurant. As they begin to drive off, she begins to think back to what she says.... This is the year of Iggy. Things are going to go her way.
Iggy: "Hey Rory, do you think it's too late to book a flight to Italy?"
Rory smiles.
Rory: "Don't worry, Ill take care of it..."

After the match she just witnessed, Iggy couldn't help but be disappointed in the end result.
"At least it was a draw."
Not the best case scenario, but it was more than she herself was able to do on the Rampage season premiere. Her good buddy Dio lives to fight another day, and is still seen as a threat to Indy Champ Jordan Sharpe. She on the other hand, has to rebound from a tough title loss where even a Shieldmaiden bested her at the Rampage season Premiere. To make things worst, her redemption arc has to wait, as she was left of the upcoming card for precautionary reasons.
She could hear the commotion from out in the hallways. As footsteps approached, she could feel her heart begin to pace. To gather herself, she quickly slapped her face with both hands. She relaxed herself right as Dio walked through the door, with a towel over his face. Even though it was partially hidden, she can see the disappointment in his face. His look quickly turned to surprise, as he noticed Iggy still in his locker.
Dio: "Lady Stardust? You're still here?"
Iggy: "You bet, I was rooting for you the whole time. Tough luck out there."
Dio: "Tell me about it...."
Visibly frustrated, he takes a seat across from Iggy.
Iggy:" Listen, there is no way you are leaving here tonight with just your Sharpie award. How about this, as a consolation prize, you can buy me dinner? And before you say no, remember that you accepted my Valentine's day chocolate. That's a binding contract right there... I'm sorry Dio, I don't make the rules."
Dio: "Sure. Why not. I am going to shower first though.."
Iggy: "Dio, I hope that wasn't some sort of invitation for me to join you? I don't know what you think is going to happen, but I'm sorry, I'm just not that kind of girl. Sure it looks like you were sculpted by the Gods themselves, but I assure you its just not happening."
Dio's eyes opened wide.
Dio: "Huh. What?"
Iggy lets out a laugh.
Iggy: Relax, you can breath again. I'm just messing with you. But hurry up and lets get out of here. I'm hungry like the wolf.
Dio nods and begins to walk away.
Iggy: "Wait, quick question. What do you think of Toto?"
Dio brings his hand to his chin. He is in deep thought. Suddenly, he begins to speak.
Dio: "Definitely, my favorite part of Wizard of Oz. Such a cute dog"
He smiles and walks out of the room.....
