Arizona left Glory early and headed over to Killies to help Veronica set up, and to catch a bit of time with Maddie. Gold and black 45s adorn the walls of the private room at Killies, with a sheet cake with several photos of Arizona’s career and his family on the icing. Gold and black balloons along with a couple of mylar balloons in the shape of a fedora float above the room.
“You did a great job of decorating babe. Thank you so much!” Arizona takes a gold balloon and ties it gently to Maddie’s wrist, then takes a second, unties it, and takes a deep breath of helium. “Who’s daddy’s favorite daughter?” Maddie squeals with delight at the sound of her father’s voice an octave and a half higher than normal.
Arizona walks to Jackson. “I know this is my party, but you make so many things possible. Happy re-opening.” Arizona hands a package to Jackson, and he unwraps a shadow box with a replica JWA championship, with all past and present champions in the backdrop holding their title aloft.
“Thanks man! First decoration in the rebuilt section.”

Stanley the Weeb walks into Killies with Rebecca in toe. Rebecca flags down Arizona and gives him a cracked Red Oni mask. Stanley has a huge box with him.
"So, Zona-son, you familiar with the latest hot anime, Spy X Family? I want you to see the latest merchandise for The Ronin and the Bushi Faction, once we get Kip-sama's approval."
(OOC: The latest cute anime about a spy needing a child and a wife for a mission, the child is in reality a psychic, the wife is in reality an assassin, and eventually they add another psychic, a dog.)
Stanley opens the box and holds up a t-shirt with a manga interptation of Arizona Chance in his leather chair and glass. The words "Wrestler X Family", "The Ronin", "Arizona Chance", and "Bushi #1" is on the t-shirt. T-shirt design 2 is similar with Tommy End on a meditation pillow, "Tommy End" and "Bushi #2". Stanley is next with "Stanley No Weeb", and "Bushi #3", but "The Ronin" removed. Stanley is on what can only be described as a gamer's couch. The fourth t-shirt is of Rebecca, sitting on an elegant chair sipping tea, both "Rebecca" and "Bushi #4", and "Support", again no "The Ronin".
"There is also a rough sketch for a fifth t-shirt for Veronica, if she wants to be a part of the merchandise. Nothing for Maddie, of course. I might be legally crazy, but not stupid."
(OOC: Act however you wish about the merchandise. This goes also for Tommy. You might be ok with some things about it, want changes, decided it is in bad taste, whatever.)

Seph slowly ambles into Killies. Some revellers look to him but otherwise ignore him. A few glasses raised as he walks to the bar. Jackson slides over and gives him a nod.
Jackson: What'll it be?
Seph looks at Jackson. He's a tough man. The aftermath of his recent beating evident on his face.
Seph: We've both been through the wars.
Jackson nods once.
Jackson: Some more than others.
Seph accepts this. He takes out a crumpled cheque from his pocket and places his sunglasses on the bar. He is still wearing his ring gear, now sporting a few more tears and stains.
Seph: Can you cash this?
Jackson: I can.
Seph: Food. Keep it coming. And a round for the bar.
A scattered cheer. Seph smiles to the crowd and leans into Jackson, lowering his voice.
Seph: Within reason. I'd like some change, if possible.
Jackson smirks.
Jackson: I'll see what I can do.

The bar has filled by the time Red arrives, he pauses to give Seph Kobane a handshake and a word of encouragement before joining the revellers around the Chances.
He pauses to scan the room and notes Toni Cruise laughing and Rossi g her hair in conversation with Chesterton Shredsbury (and a gamely trying Bambi Bambino). He stops and assesses his options until he hears Maddie shouting for her preferred baby sitter, and sees Ronnie carrying her over.
“A superb soirée Veronica, and here’s the belle of the ball herself!” He reaches out for Madison who is now fairly shrieking “Paa’at, paa’at”. Red sweeps her up and says “yes! Parrot or Pirate or whatever you will Madison! Are you happy to have your daddy out of the demonic possession of wrestlers conflating themselves with supernatural beings?!? Yes you are! Yes you are!!”
Ronnie laughs and sees Red’s romantic rival flirting with Toni. “Faint heart never won fair lady Red…”. The Pirate smiles, “true enough, but as my first beloved Jane would say, “what is right to do, cannot be done too soon,” so, if you’ll excuse me Madison my dear (easy enough as Maddie is now wiggling like a fresh caught sea bass), I must go see a man about a Buffalo.”
He goes to Chesterton, and bows to the ladies while he claps the surfer on the back. “Ladies, much as I hope to spend a long while with you, I must steal away the object of your affections for a little skull session. With the apocalyptic trio revealed, we can begin planning on earnest.” He guides Chesterton, tensely toward Pierre’s booth while Toni smiles a farewell and Bambi glares (along with Vinny at her shoulder). “Sorry to tear you away Chesterton, but I hope for the sake of the JWA, you’re willing to put business before pleasure…”

Conor Caine steps through the door to Killies and takes in the jubilant atmosphere and friendly faces around the room; the good vibes bring a genuine smile to his face. He makes his way past the groups of wrestlers and JWA staff milling around and takes his spot at the end of the bar. Jackson comes over.
Jackson: What'll it be?
Caine: I heard about your troubles - how you doing?
Jackson: Banged up, but I'll live. So what can I get you?
Caine: Give me two shots of your 18 year Bushmills - make 'em doubles.
Caine looks over Jackson's shoulder to see Seph Kobane sitting further down the bar; he hasn't noticed Caine yet.
Caine: What's Seph Kobane having?
Jackson: The Meatloaf Special.
Caine: Send him one on me.
Caine waits at the bar while Jackson pours his drinks; Conor occasionally looks over at Seph, who never looks up, and seems to debate with himself whether to strike up a conversation or not. Eventually Jackson comes over with the whiskeys and Caine pays him.
Caine: Thanks, keep the change. Glad you're back on your feet.
Caine makes his way over to Arizona and his family, giving the Birthday Boy his whiskey and engaging in some small talk with the Chances.

I roll into Killies for the party and I make a beeline straight for Rogers and Chesterton.
Boys, I appreciate your position.
You’ve got a match coming up against some stiff competition.
You’ve got a lot riding on the outcome.
But I know that they want some, now they’ll get some.
You have my full support— kick their asses.
I fist bump Chesterton and give Red a hug as I make my way to the birthday boy and his family.
Yo Chance, I know we’ve had our fair share of strife,
But congrats on making it this far in life.
I know you said no presents, but for Maddie, I couldn’t say no.
Your daughter is an angel, and anyway, here you go.
I hand a present to Chance, and he opens it up. Inside is a onesie for Maddie with my logo and #1 Fan on the front.

Arizona heads to the restroom for a moment and sees Seph sitting at the bar talking with Jackson. He walks over to them.
“Seph— party’s around the corner. Free food and drink. Save your paycheck. You can pay me back by paying it forward when you’re my age, like guys like Strongarm Thompson and Lazer did for me when I was starting out.”
Arizona heads back to the restroom, then back to the party. He thanks Mack for his “selfless” gift, and Conor for the whiskey. He then grabs a glass and taps it a few times to get everyone’s attention.
“Ladies and gentlemen— and I use that term loosely— thank you all for joining me. And thanks to my amazing wife for getting all the details planned out.” (A polite applause breaks out, coupled with Jackson yelling “she’s truly your better half”, which gets a laugh.)
“I hope everyone is enjoying themselves, but I do want to take a second to talk about something very important. In just two weeks, those three men over there— Rogers, Chesterton, and Pierre— are going to be fighting not just for themselves, but for all of you as well. We’ve worked hard to make JWA what it is today, and I’ll be damned if we’re gonna let it get taken over by a bunch of schmucks like Buffalo, Penguino, and Slash.
So, here’s to Team JWA— a great mix of old and new, youth and experience, size, speed, and guile. May you fight well, fight hard, and fight dirty if necessary, to preserve what we’ve all worked hard for.”

What an incredible match tonight between Conor Caine and Seph Kobane. I can't be the only one who wants to see more from these two, so that's why at Super Glory in two weeks we're going to #RunItBack !

Just as Thumper Moore III 's speech comes to an end, the lights dim and a tapping sound is heard over the speakers.?: "We on? We good?" The many large TV screens around Killies then come to life and Dyno is in frame courtesy of a live feed. He is at the top of the Skytree building overlooking Tokyo.DYNO: "AC! Sorry I couldn't be there mate, hope you're having a great time. It's morning here, but I had to get up to connect with you and the gang. Jacko, can't wait to see what the new gaff is like! Anyway, have a great night and I'll see you soon. I got in touch with Yuppie and I know he's missing tonight, but he did sort this out... At that moment, the lights go completely out momentarily and a large cake is wheeled out of the kitchen area by two scantily clad showgirls, the (many) candles blazing away on top provide the only light as the room and Dyno burst out into a chorus of "Happy Birthday". As it finishes, the lights come back on.DYNO: "Oh...before I forget...Jacko has queued up your favorite song on the Karaoke. And hey...a bunch of wrestlers and cake, what can go wrong eh?" Dyno waves then signs off the live feed as the tv's then change to the typical Karaoke screen with the title of the next track ready to go...

Seph thanks Arizona and continues to eat his meal. Jackson comes over.Jackson: I can wrap that up for you. You can have it later. Seph looks around conspiratorially.Seph: Are you allowed to do that? Jackson: Yeah, it's a... It's a pretty common thing. Seph graciously hands over his plate.Jackson: Listen, Arizona put some money behind the bar. I can take this off his tab for you? Save you a few pennies. Seph: No, please. You've done too much. Just, uh, if you could wrap that up and... Anything that's left from the cheque. I'll probably need it... Jackson: Sure. Jackson tidies up the plates. As he does so, he points at the Meatloaf Special that Caine sent over.Jackson: That too? Seph takes a long sip on his fresh tap water. His stomach rumbles. He just can't swallow his pride
Seph: No.

Stanley then sighs and let it go (and was glad the stand he faced was [One Eye One Horn Flying Purple People Eater],and not [Let It Go]. He comes up to Red Pirate Rodgers and Maddie. "I know Red is your favorite, but no satou (English: sugar) for your oji (English: 'uncle') Stanley?"
Stanley smiles and reflects. "Your papa is an amazing man. Same with your mom. Oji Red isn't that bad either. I do my part and I know my role. I don't think I have it in me to be a true champion. But I do hope to leave the company when it is my time with tons of good will." He then spotted Rebecca, and considering that he is her fiance, decided to go near her before someone like Buffalo decides to do something again.
He then goes to Seph Kobane, with Rebecca in toe. "Man..good match tonight. Try the okonomiyaki. I griddled them myself." He puts one of the so called 'Japanese pancakes' on his plate. Then he walks to the karaoke area to hear Arizona sing.
