Post by Dyno on May 27, 2022 12:09:19 GMT -5
The night is drawing to an end in Killies. Dyno gets up from his booth and goes to leave. As he does so he staggers slightly before walking past the table where Penguino is sat.
DYNO: "Listen here you little p***k, you need to learn some bloody respect."
A bouncer has had his eye on Dyno for the last hour or so and heads over to him, putting a hand on his shoulder.
BOUNCER: "Not tonight bro, head on home, your cab is outside."
Dyno shoves the hand away, before grunting and heading towards the door. As he does so, Conor Caine also goes to leave and the two bump into each other on the way out...

…Harsh words are exchanged and the two men instantly square up to each other: Dyno gives Caine a hard shove, which Caine returns just as forcefully; the bouncer from before only just manages to get between them before they start throwing fists. Instantly a couple more bouncers swarm into the bar and begin trying to separate Dyno and Caine, all the while the two are hurling insults and threats at each other.
With great difficulty the bouncers manage to escort Caine and Dyno - who are promising to see each other at Glory next week - outside and get them to their respective cabs before a full scale brawl breaks out.
The cabs pull out from Killies parking lot and drive off in opposite directions into the night.

Seph Kobane walks into Killies, shivering from the cold night air. He appears to be wearing every scrap of clothing he owns, which is precious little other than his flannel shirt and jeans. A few patrons eye him as he strolls up to the bar. Jackson approaches him.
JACKSON: What'll it be?
Seph drags some crumpled notes and loose coins from his pocket and drops them on the bar.
SEPH: What can I get for that?
Jackson gingerly flicks a finger through the money, lips soundlessly counting it out.
JACKSON: Water.
Seph takes off one of his battered Converse and shakes out a few more coins.
SEPH: What about that?
Jackson leans on the bar.
JACKSON: Fresh water.
Seph sighs and collects his coins. As he does so, Jackson indicates the drinks that Caine has left.
JACKSON: I was about to tidy this up.
Seph gives the whiskey a cursory glance and scoffs as he turns to leave.
SEPH: Bushmills? That's a Protestant whisky.

“Well, Stan, I’ve got to run. Rest up— you’ve got a title to win.” Arizona stands up to leave, notices Dyno drowning his sorrows, and knows better than to interrupt. He has his hand on the exit door when, out of the corner of his eye, he sees Conor Caine knocking back whiskey. He paused for a moment, starts to head out, then backtracks and walks over to Caine. “Conor, right? You’ve been killing it out there the past couple weeks. Glad to have you in JWA. Hey Jax, his next round is on me. Irish whiskey, right? Can you set him up with a Bushmill 18-year? That’s one of my favorites. Enjoy, and I’ll see you around.” Arizona heads toward the door (and exits if no one stops him). Penguino indeed does stop him and says “Hey Chance I know I’m getting you nine two weeks but I have a feeling you are going to chicken out and let Tommy do all the work. I want you one on one after the Apocalypse takeover your championships.” ”Done. Good luck in the triple threat— you and the Chief certainly earned your place in it instead of just talking your way into the match like the other team. Looking forward to a singles match.” Arizona turns to leave again, but as he does so Seph Kobane stumbles past, and Arizona witnesses the scene. He turns to leave, shakes his head, and walks up to Jackson. “Jax, whatever he wants, put it on my tab.” Arizona turns to Kobane. “Anyone who wasn’t born with a silver spoon in their mouth has been where you are right now, including me. If you keep doing what you’re doing in JWA, you’ll be a huge success and you can buy me a drink later, but for now, enjoy your evening.” Arizona leaves Killies FOR REAL this time, and gets on the phone with Veronica. “Sorry I’m late getting home babe, I had business to attend to. Yes I’m at Killies, and yes I ran up a huge tab, but I didn’t even have anything to drink myself.” |

Seph watches Arizona leave. His heart hammers, a feeling once used felt when Brother Abel approached him, gloves in hand. Now, it is an odd one, one not without danger but overwhelmed with... Compassion? Obligation?
Gratitude?
He tries to shrug it off. His fingers shake. This was one of the Three Lies he was warned about. But he denounced them, they're in his past. He has moved past them.
Hasn't he?
He sits at the bar. Jackson steps back and looks at the glittering assortment of bottles, each filled with a liquid that Seph would have once done mindless and aimless things for. His sweating palms find the bartop and he spreads his fingers out to ground himself.
JACKSON: Well... What'll it be?
Seph considers the poisons for a moment. Only a moment.
SEPH: Fresh water. What food do you have?
As Jackson reaches below the bar for a tattered menu, Seph clears his throat. That feeling is subsiding, but lingers on the periphery. He knows that he mustn't allow himself to be overwhelmed by it.
SEPH: Do you do takeout?

”I understand. You were forced to choose between doing what you know is right and losing two friends, or doing what you know is wrong and hoping for forgiveness from one. Even your disloyalty is born out of loyalty. You’re a good man, Pierre, and I do forgive you. But is it a friendship worth keeping if it’s manipulative? Seems to me like Chesterton is willing to work with you— even be in your corner— even though you are choosing a different partner to go after the tag titles with. That’s loyal. Slash telling you he’s going to prevent someone from supporting you unless you do what he says? That’s a different story altogether. I’m not going to tell you who to associate with, but I am going to say that you should take a good, hard look at the situation and choose wisely. Take care, big guy.” Arizona gets up and walks over to Stanley’s table. “Stanley— Rebecca— I’m glad you’re enjoying yourselves tonight, and I’m glad to be in your corner next week when you finally get the accolades you deserve and become JWA Champ. Besides, I want to witness Mack get that smug smile wiped off his face when he becomes No Belt Mack, and there’s no better seat in the house than ringside. Call me this week and we can talk strategy— I’ve been in the ring with Mack a few times before, and I know his strengths and weaknesses.” *I sit alone in the booth and contemplate what Arizona said*
Pierre thinks long and hard about his current predicament, but an answer doesn't come to him. In his time of need he turns to the only friend that has never failed him or let him down: the bottle. Pierre downs one beer after another in an attempt to numb himself to the world around him.
Eventually the giant starts to doze off. As he does he hears a familiar voice whisper to him:
"Just because you cannot see mee, does not mean I cannot see you. Fraternizing with the enemy Pierre? How... disappointing. You let your friends and your compassion hold you back. I cannot allow my instrument of destruction to take pity on my opponents.
I told you to prove yourself by attacking Arizona Chance and yet, he is unharmed. I am giving you one more chance: Chesterton Shredsbury does not make it to next week's show. Am I clear?"
Pierre sits up and opens his eyes, ready to give Slashmaster his answer, but there is no one in the booth with him. Did he imagine all this?

*I sit in my spacious home going through every option*
"I want Chesterton to stay safe but I'm gonna burn every bridge I made here...." *I let out a roar in frustration*

@penguino on chirpy What are you doing no no no don't repay him. He's a bastard who got everything he wanted by being a couch potato and then Kip gave him the championship Caitlyn would never do that in the JWA unlike Whistler. Chance was on drugs for a while and now you want to pay him back for something please. #Apocalypse #Jerker #Kipsuxbeaks |

UNDER THE JERK. So, Caitlyn had no problem with “handing” me a belt… after I earned it. @sephkob Whatever you feel is appropriate when you are able. Stick to your moral code. Sometimes it’s all you have— and I know the emptiness you feel when you violate it. #staystrong |

You've reached the true MC
Mack Caliber is who I be
Beating fools and dropping the beats
Leave your info when you hear the *BEEP*
Mack, it's Red.
I have neither confirmation nor denial, so I just want to let you know that I'll be backstage tonight, and will be happy to accompany you to ringside at your command. Or, in modern terms: I've got your back if you want it.

Stanley, with Rebecca, walks into Killies. "Jackson, if Arizona shows up, his first three drinks are on me. Same with Mack Caliber."

@penguino on chirpy
Guys we do all realize that Stanley The Weeb just lost to Mack Caliber for the world championship while using superpowers.
#Stanisbad #JWA #JWAchampionship
Penguino posts this as he walks into Killies where he meets an upset Jackson.
Jackson "Hey you guys aren't allowed in here anymore."
Penguino "What do you mean I was fine in here yesterday."
Jackson "You expect me to believe that you had no idea about what Jerker and Buffalo had plans for Pierre in the restroom."
Penguino "What the hell."
Kobra "C'mon man I'm looking for babes and some drinks in here man. Don't blame either of us for something we didn't do and you have no evidence either way."
Jackson "My bar My rules, OUT NOW!"
Penguino "Jeez man."
@penguino on chirpy
Really Buffalo getting me kicked out of killies for something I had no idea you guys were doing, I was really thirsty and Johnny was really looking forward to finding some hot babes.
