The day after he signed his contract, he had settled in to his suite. Put his suitcase containing his weapons and random junk in a secret place. Then he had headed out to see more of what GCW had to offer. He had seen that Amanda and Candice had established a cafe for GCW. A cafe named Chi-Town. Time to get some real food now. Lack of money was going to make it hard, but he managed to scrounge together coins of every sort in his stay with the homeless. Could be enough to purchase a meal to hold him over for a bit. The lack of eating when he was a prisoner by his enemies had seemed to teach his body to not feel so hungry when he was. Guess that was a plus. Not a very good plus. But it helps at the moment. Tha Infamous 187 stepped through the entrance of Chi-Town. Of course, there comes those funny looks again. He looked homeless. That should be no surprise though. He was for a bit. They didn't know that, so he couldn't blame them. Looking around the cafe. Observing who was here currently. Looking for an open table at the same time. Once he spotted one, he started to make his way over towards it. Walking between the tables. Uncomfortable stares came his way when he passed. He'd gotten used to it. Any other time? He'd ask them what the hell they were looking at. But right now? It was understandable. He wondered if anyone recognized him. He wouldn't recognize himself if he didn't know who he was. Finally reaching the table he had spotted, he took a seat in an empty chair. Wasn't long after that a woman had approached him. A waitress. He looked up at her. Funny look again, but because she was addressing him, she had to act casual.
Waitress: "Can I start you off with something to drink?"
"I'll have a glass of water."
She jotted it down on her pad with her pen. Then she looked back up at him.
Waitress: "Do you know what you'd like to eat?"
He paused briefly. God, it's been so long since he's had a good meal. What to be his first meal? He thought it over for a moment. Then he knew what he wanted. He didn't have much. So he couldn't order something expensive. He decided to go small.
"I'll have the chicken tenders and french fries meal."
She jotted it down quickly.
Waitress: "Alright sir. I'll get you that water. And your food should be out shortly."
The waitress walked off to take the order back to the kitchen. He placed his arms ontop of the table. Resting them. Patiently waiting for what he ordered. As he waited though, someone expected approached his table. That someone was... |

Maybe it was someone unexpected. I don't know who in their right mind would be expecting Naomi. But here she was. In attempt to get over her communication fears, she was walking around talking to just about anyone. Crazy people do crazy things it seems.
H...Hi. I'm Naomi.....C..Can I sit?
Not exactly the best start but hey, it was a sentence, thats better then normal right? Her black hair dangled around her shoulders, and her sapphire eyes beamed brightly in 7's direction. She managed a faint smile as she waited for him to reply. |

An arched eyebrow as he looked at the woman before him. Said her name was Naomi. Never met a Naomi before. She looked a bit uneasy. Nervous even. Maybe she was a fan? He hadn't really met a person in this business before that had been nervous before. He assumed it was probably just a fan who managed to work up the courage to approach him. He was surprised that someone even recognized him. Or so he thought. He didn't know. 187 nodded his head and responded to her...
"Sure. Go right ahead and pull up a seat miss."
The waitress happened to arrive back quicker than expected. Dropping off the water he had ordered.
Waitress: "Your food will be out shortly."
"Cool, cool."
Off the waitress walked to go tend to her other tables she was servicing. 187 then turned his attention back to this Naomi woman. Continuing on, assuming she's a fan knowing who he was already...
"What brings you over here Naomi?" |

Taking in a deep breath she gathered herself once more. This was going to be hard she could tell.
I....I just t...though I would say hi. Y...you wrestle here t.t...too?
Come on Mimi stop stuttering and stammering. You need to pull yourself together. |

She's asking if he wrestles here? That confirms three things. One, she's not a fan, or she doesn't recognize him. Two, she must be part of GCW. Three, she's a stutterer. He reached down. Taking a firm hold of his glass of water. He lifted the glass up to his lips. Tipping his head back slightly, he took a sip of water. Before tipping his forward and setting the glass down on the table. It feels like it's been forever since he's had cold and clean water. Definitely was refreshing. Then he looked back at Naomi.
"Yeah. I wrestle here in GCW. Well, not yet. But I will soon. I actually had just signed my contract yesterday. The name's 187. Tha Infamous 187. I take it that you're also a wrestler here in GCW too. Or do you have some kind of office job or something behind the scenes?" |

S...sorry, I normally, don't t.....talk to-to-to many people... |

The truth comes out. Nervous. She was nervous. He didn't mind. It was nice to have someone to talk to. Didn't matter if she was nervous or whatever it was that she had wrong with her. He just began nodding slightly before respond...
"It's alright. You ain't gotta be nervous around me. There's no need to fear talking to me."
Of course, that was a lie and at the same time it wasn't a lie. He may be a bit mentally unstable at the moment, but he won't harm a person who's not going to do him any wrong. Naomi didn't seem to be a threat, so he felt no reason to put up any kind of defense.
"How long you been wrestling Naomi?" |

Being the new Dude in town is never the most funnest thing in the world. Being not known because you have wrestled, and been in all your life called Little Rock. Which is a pretty big place to me, but to the city folk, its like so not. Never knowin' to suspect. Should I do this or that, what will people say or do or not do or not say. Some many things can run through your head when you making your debut in a place that is so new yourself like me. Jericho signed his contract papers, and not just figuring out what to do now since that process was over quickly. Now just to go ahead, and meet some of the people here. Never know, maybe I'll make a friend or two in this place. Jericho decides to head into the GCW cafe, and see what's up. Kind of shy when it comes to new places, but he comes in. A few people stare at him as no one knows who he is, and that is a bit understandable. He just nods, and heads up the desk where the clerk's at.
May I help you sir?
Yeah. I'll have a water, and a apple.
Coming right up sir.
Aight'. I'm going to go sit down at the seats. Bring it over when its cool.
Yes sir.
He goes to sit down. He sees 187, and a lady who's sitting beside him. He's heard alot about 187, and know how big the man in this business. He was going to go over there, and say what's up, but decided to wait, and just get his stuff. Besides, can't be interrupting him, and his lady friend.
About 5 minutes later, the lady brings him his stuff. He figured that she's probably pretty busy with other stars in there, so he understood it may be a wait. Even if it is just water, and a orange.
Thank ya.
Your welcome sir.
The lady goes back to whatever she needed to get done, and JK was just buying time. Had no clue what show he'd be on, and just bought while in the cafe.

Naomi released a small sigh. If she had a dollar for each time she had heard that...She nodded her head though.
Um...A..bout two weeks. M..My first match was last weekend on MayheM. A...nd yourself?
She smiled a little bit, as a male waiter looked around like an idiot for her. She had placed in order for food a while ago, but he never showed up, so figuring he forgot about her she came over here to say hi. She just ignored him for the time being. |

"Me? Let's see..."
He paused for a moment. Thinking back to his first day on the job. It's been awhile. He reached forward. Grabbing his glass of water again. He lifted it to his lips. Took a quick sip. Then he set it back down on the table and began nodding his head.
"It's been at least five or six years now. Yeah. I believe that's right. It's been five or six years since I came into this business. I've pretty much done everything there is to do in this business so far. Been to many events. Been to many companies. Been through hell and back, then went back to hell cause I forgot my Hennessey."
Laughing to himself. He shook his head.
"Yeah. I've been at it for awhile now."

Wow...s...so I take it, you are a pretty big name around here then huh?
Naomi finally waved to the waiter, after he looked like an idiot for at least two minutes. With a shallow mean look in his eyes, he set down her ceasar salad and left. He should remember faces a little better no?
S...sorry if I am bothering you at all. Not m...many people take the time t...to talk to me. |

He shook his head.
"Nah. It's cool. I ain't got nothing to do or nowhere to be at the moment. Just kind of chillin' and relaxing, ya know? I guess you could say I'm a big name. It just sort of happened. I was just being me. And it just so happens that people seem to love... me. So... With the massive amount of support from the fans and whoever else along the way... Guess you could say at one point I was a big name. Maybe still am. We'll have to see about that. It's been awhile since I've been in the ring. The exact date? I can't really say I remember that. A lot of weird type shit has happened to recently so... I'm kind of not all with it at the moment."
He looked around the cafe for his waitress. She was still off waiting on other tables. His food might not be finished being cooked or something. He shrugged it off and turned his attention back to Naomi. Awaiting her response. |

While over at another table in the cafe, Jericho's phone makes a signal that he's got a message. He takes his phone out of his pocket, and its a message saying from his business Agent, "Hey JK, I just got word that you have been drafted to the Mayhem brand. You will basically under hardcore kind of rules, and such. I'm sure that's not anything that you can't handle. I'll talk to you later. Good Luck. Congratulations, and everyone here in Little Rock is pulling for ya. Make them proud." After reading that, a small smile is on his face just after reading the text message. Man, on Mayhem now. Where all the power, brawlers, and hardcore people are. Should be the alley of the man name Jericho Kaine. He says quietly to himself.
That process is over finally. Now its all up to me.
He sets his trucker hat on the table, and just soaks in the emotions, and just of what will happen next.
