Getting some food (O2A)

[sylvester]

*Syl rises his eyebrows as he sees two "gentlemen" that have aproached him and Loki*

Can I help you with something?

*Syl always being the polite man he is*

[Loki Alverton]

Loki’s mind starts turning after Sylvester became riled up about the man known as MG.

So do you think you may challenge that street thug as your first opponent?

After the question he turned his head to see the interruption of two men he had never seen before. While Syl was polite to the men, Loki would not be so kind.

Pardon me, I can definitely tell you were not allowed the social graces that even a common rock so allow me to give you a free lesson. It is quite rude to interrupt two people having a conversation, especially since you obviously know neither one of them and you were not being spoken to. You may now excuse yourself from our presence and allow this lesson to hopefully sink into that cantaloupe you call a head.

Loki then turned his attention back to Sylvester and waited for his response.

[mob]

The fellas take a look at each other with blanks stares. Hoody speaks up first.

Yo homie. Did this cracka ass crack just TRY ta' play us?

I do believe he did. Key word...TRY ta' play us.

G looks down on Loki and speaks.

Aight, check this out famskiez, Low and behold it be for ME to *ahem*..."Interupt" you from gettin' ya mack on wit' da' FAGGOT here, but fa'give me if I don't say that youz'a BITCH.

He points at Loki's coat.

I mean homie, look at ya damn coat? Only a pimp would or COULD get away wit' wearin' some lime green shit like that. And I DAMN sure know you ain't pimp. Not wit' a hair style like that.

Hoody starts laughing and chimes in.

AHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! Foo' look like he got a die job from da' crayola factory, son!!! AHAAAAAAAAAA!!! Yo yo yo yo yo look, he gettin' mad, yo. Whiteboy gettin' hot unda' tha' colla, fam.

G speaks again.

But excuse us. We just came ta' say wassup to sum'mo of da' new blood in XWA, but we ain't mean to cut into you havin' a chat wit' ya' lady. Our bad, family. But'cha need ta' fix ya' face and work on dem' peepul skillz. Cuz if we was out on da' street, yo' bitch ass would be pullin' up a nub right now. EARLY. But since this is a place of bid'niz, and we aint tryin' ta catch anotha' case, we gon' let'cha slide. THIS TIME. But best believe ya' pasty white ass that we don't fa'get a face.

Hoody steps up and motions his hands as if they were a camera, taking Loki's "photo".

Saved fa' posterity. BEEEEEEEYOTCH. Yo, let's leave the two luv birds alone. Fam-o tryin' ta' get some anal ta'night a' sumthin'.

With smirks on there faces, Big G & Hoodlum take there leave.

[sylvester]

*Syl ignored those comments, he was a man who brawled in the ring, and those two street clowns weren't the first ones to insult his appearance*

Don't let this jerks dissapoint you, they can come here and try to insult us with their lingo, but when it comes to the ring we will see if they fight as good as they talk.

*Syl then smiles*

Faggot eh? Well we'll see what this faggot has in store for you two hoodlums

*Syl giggles*

Well with those two clows you were able to see why I am wishing to beat some of those gangsta wannabes like MG, they always seem to come, stare at me and call me sexual slurs without me having done them anything.

[Loki Alverton]

Loki watches intently as the two men leave, then turns his attention back to Sylvester

The nerve of some people. Acting as if I did them some form of disservice by advising them of what is socially acceptable and what is not. Back in Massachusetts, something along those lines would never be tolerated. Men like that would be ostracized by the community, but people from there are a different breed, not rude commoners like almost everyone I have met since I have come to this city. And what language were they speaking? I am fluent in about seven different languages and I could not understand what was being said.

Loki takes a sip of his wine and relaxes for a moment, the then brushes his hands together as if to symbolize the cleaning of dirt off his hands.

But they are no matter to me, I shall not let their obvious lack of class bother me. So back to our discussion, will MG be your first opponent? Perhaps you will be the one to rid the XWA of him.

Loki chuckles as he leans back in his chair and waits for a response.

[rock]

Sitting just a table away was Shane Camden. A man who hadn't been heard from in XWA for month. He watched what went down and overheard every word of it. Being the kinda guy he was, Shane decided to speak up having heard Sylvester's response.

Welllllllllllllll...not for nothing, you're bro right there DID provoke it. You really didn't know WHAT they were gonna say up until snob boy right there opened his trap. The big guy was right, you DO need to work on those people skills. You might find yourself with more friends then the ones in your wallet or the ones that don't cost you $500.00 an hour. Just some food for thought.[/color]

Shane takes a sip of his beer as he awaits the inevitable reply.

[Loki Alverton]

Loki stops and turns his head to see someone else interrupting the conversation. Loki was astounded on how rude some people were, not only eavesdropping on a conversation they had nothing to do with, but then to comment about it. Loki sits up in his chair and answers that man that spoke.

”People skills”, as you call them, did not make me a multi millionaire, having good business sense did, and I could care less about “friends”. I have business associates and I have my servants, I don’t need anything else. Why would I want to surround myself with people that are for the most part nosy and don’t keep to themselves? And what kind of people cost $500 an hour? If you are talking about prostitutes, then I’ll take that as a feeble attempt to insult me, because the only other people that I could even ponder would charge that type of money would be either a psychiatrist or my stock broker.

Loki shakes his head and sits back in his chair.

[rock]

Taking another sip of his beer, Shane replies soon after.


You can take it however it it is you want. Fact of the matter is that I know a dick when I see one. And you?

Yer' a dick.

Not insultin' ya'. Just calling it how I see it. As if XWA could use another one. Let me run down the list...

O'Dell
Valiante
Sylk
Alston
Jasta
Devine

And those are just the names I REMEMBER. Been away for a while. But I guess we'll be throwing you name into the old hat as well, eh? Just another dime a dozen asshat who thinks he's better then everyone cuz he's got himself a lil' cash flow. Where've I seen THAT done before. Let me clue the two of you fellas in on something. Ya' see, XWA's the kinda company where you either PUT UP or SHUT UP. And I hope you do put up REAL BIG. Cuz it's clear that you won't be doing the shut up part.

Even if people begged you to...[/color]

He shakes his head and takes another sip of his brew.

[sylvester]

*Syl then tries to be the peacemaker*

Ehem, well we shouldn't start fighting here should we? I mean we are new to XWA sorroundings and I don't think than picking fights is the best way to make ourselves noticed in XWA is it?

[Loki Alverton]

Loki smirks at Shane’s comment

I appreciate the fact you would hold me to the high standards of someone like Scott O’Dell or Primo Valiante. Now you say I am a “dick”, I believe it was. So since I am vocal about the fact that people should not concern themselves with the affairs of others unless it directly impacts them, then that would make me a “dick”, is that about right? I would unfortunately have to disagree with you, it makes me a person that respects his own privacy as well as the privacy of others. And while I shall not speak for Sylvester, I am here to compete and become the best there is in this business and I do not care who I upset in the process.

Loki then waits for a response

[rock]

Shane responds...

You might be on the right track. But your buddy there? Oh he's cruising for 10 months of repeated ass kickings if he keeps on his high horse. And people a lil' less "Sociable" then me. I wanna a fly on the wall when and if he ever runs into Vikram. THAT'LL be a hilarious, but violent exchange. *heh heh heh*[/font]

He then responds to Loki.

And no, pal. It's not what you say that makes you a dick. It's HOW you say it. For as much as you know, you could have had you two allies. Now, you just have a pair of guys who'll be looking to kick your ass. But I'm bettin' you're to thick headed to see things that way, eh? And all because you opened your burger trap before you thought about what you were gonna say. Typical.

[Loki Alverton]

Loki laughs at Shane’s comment

Do you really think I would do something to purposefully get on the bad side of that gargantuan Vikram? That would be the same as getting on the bad side of Steven Higby or Draco Thanatos, and while some people around here may be that ludicrous, I am not. I know they out weigh me and I could not match their power, men like that I would align myself with, not disaffiliate them. Also, I would not associate myself with common street thugs like that, even if I had no other choice in the world.

[sylvester]

*Syl then thinks in what Loki said*

Well I don't want to get on anyone's bad side, I hope to get well with most of the people, except those who insult my appearance or those "smart" ones who come to my face and say: "Oh you are gay!"

However forming friendship with those colossus you meant, I think it's pretty difficult I don't see Higby the man who likes being Mr. Social Life..

[rock]

Ain't that the truth.

He takes another swig...

*Ahhh*Those guys look like they keep them in cages until it's show time. I'll sum it up like this. There's more then one way to the upper echelon of XWA. Pissin' people off ain't one of them. Been there, done that, wrote my memoirs of the experience. But hey, whatever you think's gonna get you over, m'boy.

Shane goes to take another drink, but the bottle was empty. He tips it over, looking inside...

Son of a...Can I get another bear over here???

[Loki Alverton]

Loki laughs at Sylvester's comment

I understand that Steven is not the "social" type, however he definitely strikes me as the type of man that would contemplate and possibly accept a "business venture".

Loki then turns his attention back to Shane.

I refuse to change who I am or how I am for anyone. Whether I upset you, Sylvester here, or the bosses, I will not change, nor will I apologize. Consider me how you wish, but at the end of the day I have no one to answer to except myself. If that upsets people, then so be it.

Loki takes the last sip of his wine, then stands up and places $100 bill on the table for his meal and his drinks, he then looks at Sylvester.

It was a pleasure speaking with you and I am sure we will run into each other again down the road.

Loki grabs his trench coat, then walks over to Shane and places a $50 on his table.

To show there are no hard feelings, allow me to purchase your next beverage.

Loki then puts his jacket on and pulls out his cell phone.

Reginald, bring the car around. I will be down in just a few moments.
