Turkish Wrestling

May 21, 2011 04:58

WHO: Herakles and Moon
WHEN: May 20th, evening
WHERE: Some shady old boxing arena
WHAT: Half naked men rolling about covered in oil in front of an audience? Definitely relevant to his interests Herakles goes to see Turkish wrestling on a whim, knowing what to expect. Moon might be more surprised.

( Some people say that cats are sneaky, evil, and cruel. True, and they have many other fine qualities as well. )

Yet again Moon had ended up on a place he never planned or expected to end up. But the ad for a wrestling match seemed tempting. He hadn't wrestled in a while or seen it, so just taking a look couldn't hurt.

Besides, he was a bit curious on how this Turkish wrestling was like. Even though his mother was part Turkish, he hadn't really studied the culture THAT much.

Now he was sitting near the end, watching the rink, wondering what would go down tonight.... Would anyone break anything? Like a jaw.... Or a leg or arm?

The first match was starting, two men facing each other. After a few minutes, Moon raised an eyebrow.

Oil?

Heracles watched intently as oil was poured over the contestants, sharp ovehead lights glinting on slick skin and muscle. He leaned his elbows on his knees, head balanced on his hands and a smile hidden behind steepled fingers. Then the match started for real, hands sliding over skin and scrabbling for purchase, trying to gain a hold on the black leather trousers or belt... or under them ( ... )

"Huh?" Moon snapped out of his little daze. It was rather weird to see them struggle around like that. Why use the oil? To make it more challenging?

"Uh.. Yeah.." he nodded at the other's question.

"...What's with the oil? Is it to make it more challenging?"

Heracles considered what he knew about the sport, it's long history and traditions.

"Yeah, pretty much," he answered calmly. He leaned a bit closer to the other man, supposedly so he could be heard better, though the audience wasn't really being that noisy. "You see the kisbet... those leather trousers? The aim of the game is to gain a firm hold on the opponent, which is best done by getting your hand in their pants. So to say," he explained, voice not revealing even a bit of his amusement, mostly from watching the other man's reactions. This was even more fun than the actual match!
