Dont tell me that!

[KingBear]

The EVPW Arena is, for once, closed down, the lights are off and the night is peaceful. A glance at the sky could tell an experienced person the time was close to midnight, if not a little past. A clock would tell you the time was nearing 1 am. A few random cars can be heard on the streets, accompanied by the buzzing of the streetlights overhead. The only problem with living in the city is you cant quite see the stars on most nights.

"What do you mean you cant sell me this?!" A large familiar voice disturbs the silence, emanating from a rundown liquor store near the EVPW Arena. "Dont you know who...." Sounds of nausea come from the man. "I am? I'm King Beer! I mean... Drink Bear!" The "King Beer" grumbles low as the shop keeper continues to shake his head.

"I'm sorry sir, I just cant sell this to you now. You've already had too much to drink. I could get in trouble." The man behind the counter shakes as the toweringly large drunk growls under his breath, losing his footing for a moment and nearly collapsing in the liquor store.

"No.. Trust me.. I'm fine.. I just.. Please, I wont drive and my office is right down the street." The man plants his hands on the counter before him, forcing back the urge to vomit for a moment before looking up at the man again.

"Sir, I just cant sell you this right now.. It's too late at night and you've already had too much to drink. Please just go sleep it off sir."

"Great! In this entire fucking place.. I get the one guy that has a conscience! I'm not drunk!" He loses his footing once more, this time collapsing, his upper half laying out on the sidewalk. A loud groan escapes him as he tries to force himself to his feet.

TBCB They know who.

[Ethan Hawke]

EVPW roster member Ethan Hawke has been walking around town for hours trying to clear his head. Things are weird for him right now, Elizabeth's effect on him, the Chris and SM situation, and the whole last match he had being a draw is all racking his brain to a million times what it normally is running. He likes Elizabeth, he really does, but this is the first time he has actually tried to completely win someone over. The last few girl friends he has had you could say were more like one nighters. He turns a corner and sees a mass on the concrete and runs over to help the poor soul to their feet. It is when he is picking him up that he notices who the person in question is. He uses himself as a brace for the big Bear King and pushes him back toward the wall to support him.

"Hey boss you don't look too good man... You alright?"

Ethan looks at the old man with a hint of regret on how he has treated him in their rare meetings.

"Anything I can do for you?"



TBC:KB

[KingBear]

"Wha? Who are you?" The big man tries to push away from his captor only to fall back against the wall again. "Look kid.. You old enough to buy bear?" He groans and forces back another regurgitation before glancing over his shoulder at the shop keeper.

"Hey you! Gimme that bottle!" After a few moments, the Monarch Drunkard realizes where he is, who he is, who this young kid is and what is going on. He forces himself to sober up as much as he can and pushes off the wall, adjusting his suit and clearing his throat. "Ethan.. I'm sorry you saw me like this.. Can you please explain to this man who I am.. And just get me what I came here for? I'll meet you back at the arena.."

The big man grumbles to himself, hands Ethan a hundred-dollar-bill and stumbles down the street, headed for the arena. His feet can barely keep up with him as he leans forward to make sure he continues heading in the right direction. Even drunk, the Bearman can keep his cool better than most. With a little ingenuity, strength, perseverance and other important things that help people get to where they need to go, the big man finally makes it back to the Arena. Leaning up against the wall before slinking down to his backside, waiting for his delivery to arrive.

TBCB Ethan

[Ethan Hawke]

Ethan looks at the bill for a second before looking back up into the eyes of Big Sexy. He can clearly see the hurt in his eyes and the suffering he is going through before Kingbear takes his leave. The polished gem heads toward the register and slams the hundred on the counter.

"Look Sir I know why you are here and what you were asked... As I told him I cannot sell him anymore under good conscience."

The Head Hunter looks at the man with a smirk and nods. He then grabs him by the collar and pulls him so the two can see eye to eye.

"Look boy... I am only going to say this once... That man signs my checks and is going through a rough patch... You're a wrestling fan correct?"

"Ye... Ye.. Yeah..."

"Well the man you just denied alcohol is a legend in that business... He is also the owner of EVPW... Now I don't know what you told him... I really don't care... YOU are going to give me what it is he asked for OR I am going to make you wish that you did..."

Ethan stares into those scared eyes for a moment longer.

"Any questions?"

"N... N... No Sir..."

The man turns and grabs the bottle of liquor that KB is wanting and sets it on the counter.

"Here something smaller to break..."

Ethan gives the man forty bucks and gets his change before scooping up the hundred and the receipt before heading out the door and back to the arena. After walking for what seems like forever the young man finds his employer leaning against a wall outside the arena. He hands him the bill and the liquor with a half hearted smile.

"This one is on me..."

[KingBear]

The big man looks up at his employee wearily, eying the bottle of whiskey in his hand, followed by the same $100 bill he handed him previously. His eyes then shoot up to the man before him, hands reaching out and snatching the bottle from his hands. He then groans and pushes up to his feet, half standing, half leaning against the wall. "Thanks kid.. I appreciate your help.. What are you doing out here so late? Dont you have somewhere to go?"

Without even waiting for a response, the big man rolls against the wall before pushing a key into the door and twisting it. A flick of his wrist follows and he quickly pulls the door open before falling into the arena quite literally. KingBear groans to himself, checking the bottle in his hand to make sure it didnt break before slowly pulling the rest of his body into the building. "You still here?" KingBear rolls to his back, hoping to spy the young hotshot still hovering around.

TBCB Hawke

[Ethan Hawke]

A soft chuckle escapes the little birdy's lips. He looks at KB like the old man has completely lost his mind and shakes his head.

"Yeah... I'm still here boss... And I have a lot on my mind so I was just getting some fresh air."

Ethan runs his fingers through his still growing locks as the lights reflect from his dark hair, showing that the red streak that many saw when he first got to EVPW is fading away. He looks at the old bear, those baby blues shining as he stares into those alcohol dulled pits in the man who signs his checks.

"Needing some company? I have no problem with sitting and talking for a bit if need be..."

A smirk grows over his lips as he chuckles again.

"Well... That is if you pay me over-time."
