Ahh, summertime. A time of sweltering heat in the heart of the city, even in the shade. Even in the shade, outside a cafe; somewhere in sun-bleached South California; where Kiyoshi Nakahata has arranged to meet his team for the week and talk strategy and the potential sharing of moneys that will result from the aforementioned strategising. Our very own Abominable Snowman looks surprisingly comfortable, despite the heat. Perhaps it has something to with the sun gleaming off his white hair, reflecting the heat away from his brain. For a man who has had the Dual Crown ripped from out of his fingertips, he looks remarkably upbeat. That could have something to do with the book he's reading as he waits: Tourist Season by Carl Hiassen; Jesus Bernal's feud with the US Postal Service even going so far as to draw a chuckle from it. Also helping his mood is the the front row tickets to Dodger Stadium later on that evening. His Father - still bitter that Kiyoshi never became a baseball star - threatened to disown him if he went to Los Angeles without visiting Dodger Stadium. And so #74 for the Chunichi Dragons [which have extremely similar shirts to the Los Angeles Dodgers,] Kiyoshi Nakahata has a sunny disposition to match the weather. Not even the uncharitable observation that his baggy denim shorts look like they've been hacked at with a steak-knife can bring him down. In fact, the only things which could possibly bring him down are his fellow wrestlers; who, if they get his note and its not so subtle threat,* will soon be arriving... [size0]* The message Kiyoshi passed onto the FIW offices warns that he will refuse to give any money to anyone who doesn't come out to meet him. |

Then, the first team mate of Kiyoshi arrives. Sir Colbert Tottington and Lord General Mortimer Igneous walk right behind the table that Kiyoshi sits at. Lord General wears his normal beefeater outfit, sticking out like Elvis Presley in an Elvis Presley impersonator convention. That's because none of the bastards look remotely like the King. Colbert is wearing a blue suit, and has his new Flycore title over his shoulder. Kiyoshi looks up at the two, yet Colbert and Mortimer seem to ignore him completely. Colbert: I can't believe the cheek on that man. Demanding that we have to come out here, in the sweltering heat, to discuss "strategy" or we will not get paid. General: I know sir. But he is the team captain. Colbert: For no good reason! I am the new Flycore champion if you hadn't noticed. The ONLY champion on this team. Granted my title is worth about as much as a slice of apple crumble, but I'm still the only person that walked out of Summer of Sin with a victory. Who are the others? The only man to get eliminated from our match multiple times, a returning retard, and of course Konami Natumbi. Kiyoshi looks away from the two with a sort of smug smile, obviously thinking to himself about how they hadn't noticed him yet. Chances are that he's thinking what combination of insults he could call the two when they finally realise that Kiyoshi's right in front of them. Colbert: Well where is he then? Captain Nakabakalakachaka. Kiyoshi clears his throat to get the attention of the two. They both look down. Lord General Mortimer seems rather mortified that Kiyoshi's right there, while Colbert seems to be insulted that he's been interupted. Colbert: Can I help you? General: Sir...that's Kiyoshi Nakahata. Colbert: ...what? General: Pleasure to meet you, Mr. Nakahata. Colbert and I are ecstatic about being on your team, and believe it is a terrific idea to rally the troops here. Colbert and General take seats at the table, Colbert still in shock about Kiyoshi being there. General: So then...ordered drinks yet? I think I'll have half a pint of lager. What would you like Colbert? Colbert: ...that's Kiyoshi? General: Umm yes, sir. Drink? Colbert: ...Kiyoshi Nakahata...right there... General: Umm I'll get you a pint, sir. I'll leave you two to talk strategies. The General gets up, intending to go inside the cafe and order drinks. Colbert is still in his state of perpetual disbelief. |

A bit of a stiff wind blows and from around the corner walks Graver, hands in his pockets and looking decidedly irritated. He approaches the table and nods at Kiyoshi before briefly glaring at Colbert. Graver: Let's make one thing perfectly clear... I don't give a fuck about the money, nor do I give a fuck about winning this match for the greater good... my primary concern is finally getting a modicum of brutality in on that idiot, Bathory. Though his words are harsh his tone is not, and Graver flops into a seat away from Colbert. |

Kiyoshi: Yareyare... Kiyoshi's attention has now been well and truly removed from the bliss of his book. He has to blink at the General, and his outfit; deciding that it's no bad thing that he's leaving. After marking his page with with an old train/bus/subway ticket, he remembers his manners, stands up and introduces himself. Kiyoshi: Yes, right here, Kiyoshi Nakahata. Despite using one of them a foot-rest, the Yeti has enough chairs for everyone, yet still he's somewhat surprised by the sudden appearance of Graver. Probably more from the civil gesture from Graver than anything else. Stiffly, he nods back and sits down. Kiyoshi: I think, gentlemen, we shall wait just a little longer for this 'Hutch,' before we begin. Drinks? |

... one half hour later... Graver: This is getting ridiculous... we still waiting for Hutch or can we get on with it? I'd think punctuality would be an important part of being a working cog in this team's machine. He glares around the table, awaiting some action or answers. |

Colbert, who has still been far away, pondering how he confused Kiyoshi for someone else, finally snaps back. Colbert: Well put, divorced Santa. General, get us all a round of beers. General: Yes sir. The General walks into the cafe. Colbert: Now then. I'm pretty sure that all of us here have a mutual dislike of each other. Let's face it, even the crowd boos us and we're there to entertain them. In fact, the only popular one in our group hasn't even bothered to turn up. There is then a silence. Graver and Kiyoshi both seem to be awaiting Colbert's point. Colbert: Look, what I'm trying to say is that we're not going to solve anything is we go into this hating each other and being in it for ourselves. In singles matches that works fine for us, but the other team have things in common that can help them bond and overcome us. Before we talk strategy we need to be on the same page. I'm not saying that we need to be best friends for ever, because trust me that's not going to happen. What I'm saying is that we need to have an agreement here that all of us are looking out for eachother. I know, it's not in any of our natures, but think of it like this "if you're looking out for everyone else, then you'll be looked after". If you think of it in terms of a selfish four muskateers, it's going to make this match a lot easier. Now I didn't want to dumb it down for you guys, but I couldn't think of better way of explaining it, since with the language barriers and what-not. With that said, Lord General Mortimer arrives with a tray, with 5 bottles of beer on it, laying it down on the table. Colbert takes one, as does the General as he sits down. |

Kiyoshi pays his beer no mind. Half an hour ago, he had the idea that he would get some tea or something, but that has been and gone. Plus Kiyoshi hasn't drunk any alcoholic beverage in years. Back to the isse at hand, the spiel of Colbert Tottington strikes him as glaringly obvious. His response is therefore slightly drier than anyone near to Kiyoshi will have seen for a while. Kiyoshi: Indeed, Mr. Tottington. It seems that we all need a reason not to be looking behind us in case we are betrayed. For those that have forgotten, there is the small matter of the money. Twenty Thousand Dollars for each of us here, with the rest divided up according to the eliminations. If Mr. Hutchinson arrives soon, then that will be $5,000 for each person you eliminate. Ten, if he does not. I would like to have thought that we could have worked together on the same team simply because we all have a professional attitude, but thank you for reminding me that that is not the case. One thing Graver said does vaguely interest him; and he turns to address this. Kiyoshi: It is nice to know that the warrior spirit is not completely dead, just yet. If you want this Bathory for yourself, so be it. I only ask that you do not let yourself be distracted too much by him. If you two came down to a double elimination, it would not be a fair exchange. A Ni... Bishop for a Pawn, if you will. Inexplicably, he glances over to the one who styles himself as a Knight as he says this, and just about stops himself rolling his eyes, before turning back to Graver. Kiyoshi: I dearly want to see if XK can put his brave words to the test, but I cannot honestly say that any money would not go amiss. My gym, for example, could use a re-fit. Is there absolutely nothing in this world that twenty thousand or more US Dollars would not help you with? |

Graver sneers appreciatively... um... I think. Graver: Tell ya what... the best deal I can make you is that if none of you backstab me, I won't be pulling my dagger on any of you... got it? He looks around the table, making sure no one argues. He finally notices his beer and licks his lips, sniffing something like Johnny Depp in Pirates of the Carribean 3. He shakes his head and shoves it away without tipping the glass over. A few blinks and he's back to normal. Graver: What I'm saying is I'm in to win... I've long abandoned my losing streak, and I'm not gonna let any emotions get in the way of making sure it continues. |

The General, looking slightly confused about the final comment by Graver, appears to be about to say something. Colbert spots this, and shakes his head, indicating to the General not to bother. Mortimer sits back in his seat, suckling from his beer as Colbert speaks up once more. Colbert: Professional attitudes are all well and good in Japan Mr. Nakahata, but as I have to remind myself so often now, we are in America. The greater good and the American dream go hand in hand here in a way that does not fit with the principalities of the two different nations where we come from. Not disrepect to you Graver, it is just I'm sure you can appreciate who I'm looking out for here. But I believe you did put it best, as long as none of us betray eachother, we can all get that money. Colbert takes a swig from his bottle. Colbert: I know myself that £2,500 per head can allow me to upgrade my living a bit. Excuse me for turning it into sterling, it just allows me to get a better idea of the kind of reward I'll be fighting for. Colbert places his bottle on the table. Colbert: But anyway, enough waiting for Hutch, it appears he does not care about such prizes. If we're all agreed on fighting together, let us speak of strategy. |

With one white eyebrow raised at Graver's antics, Kiyoshi doesn't instantly appear to be listening to Colbert; let alone agree with him. However, once everyone's favourite Indian Knight of the Realm has finished, the Judo Sensei lets out a slightly deflated sigh, as he sits back and talks to no-one in particular. Kiyoshi: I have heard that too many times over the last year; that words such as 'honour,' 'respect,' and even 'professionalism,' have no meaning, simply because we are trying to apply them to Pro-Wrestling in the US. Slowly but surely, I think it might be starting to get to me. For example, the utter lack of respect we have been shown by Mr. Hutchinson today. Brushing his hair out of his face, and locking his fingers together behind his head, Kiyoshi stretches out, adding one more thing to the original issue. Kiyoshi: There is one thing I had hoped to avoid; I thought it unnecessary, a symptom of this 'wearing down' of the rest of the world, but now I think I may have to. Ten Thousand Dollars is a lot of money, and I do not want either of you think that you can get it just by sweeping in, and collapsing on a downed opponent when someone else has done the rest of the work. For a start, that would destroy any sense of the team. He sits up straight, and fixes them both in the eyes. Kiyoshi: If that should happen, some or even all of the money from that fall may go to person who had their fall 'poached.' Do you understand me? Despite the question, he only waits the time it would take to nod.* The plan is outlined in a somewhat firm manner, but hopefully [from Kiyoshi's point of view] it still sounds there is some kind of room for discussion. After all, he's not a tyrant... Kiyoshi: On to a battleplan. I think our first order of business should be the elimination of either Bathory or Lane. Personally, I would have suggested Miss Lane, simply for the size difference; but since we have someone whose stated aim is Bathory's obliteration, then the sooner we have him out of the way, the sooner we can have something that resembles a three-man unit, and use it to take down one of the two heavyweights. At this it seems he has a message specifically for Graver, delivered in as captainly a tone as he can manage. Kiyoshi: If you like, Bathory is all yours for this first part. Afterwards, I expect a certain level of teamwork from you. Not blindfolded double teams and fluid blind tags; just regular tags to keep us all fresh, the ability to take advice on openings to exploit, and maybe a little insight of your own from the corner. If not, I might start feeling a little betrayed. For that matter, I expect the same from you, Mr. Tottington. If all of this is such a major imposition, I want to know now, before it becomes a problem. Will there be? Hopefully not, but the question is left there, asked as equally and calmly as such a threateningly sounding question can be... [size0]* Not that he actually checks to see if they do nod, nor would I presume to say the both actually do nod. The idea seems - to him - to be simple enough though. |

Graver: I already told you my hat's in the ring. Phyllis and I have old bad blood that I just can't wait to bring to the surface. I couldn't give a fuck about the rest of them at this point. They're not on my path to glory yet... but Bathory? Graver nods, exhaling slowly as he gazes around the table. Graver: Other than that I'll play fair. The last thing I need is SEVEN guys beating me down after the match 'cuz of treachery. |
