A Way To Pass Boredom (O2A)

[Jack McArthur]

Elbows against the table, head held in the palm of his hands. Ohhh the boredom has reappeared into Jack McArthur's lap. Seconds felt like hours to him. Nothing to do, but sit and wait for something to happen. Letting out a long sight, Jack removed his head from the warmth of his palms. It was another quiet day in the cafe. The place felt like it was a ghost town. Was Jack missing out on a major event? Pfft, he wouldn't....C'mon someone would of told him something was happening. Would they? Another long sight exited the mouth of McArthur. Seconds became longer and longer. Wheres the booze when you need it the most?
Tap..Tap..Tap..Tap went his fingers against the edge of the table. Someone or something do something. Tick..Tick..Tick. Jack's eyes watched the second hand of the clock like a hawk with it's prey. Duhn..Duhna duhna..duhn..went the tune to " Runnin' Wild " by Airbourne in Jack's mind.

" Can l get you anything sir? "

Up then down went McArthur...Damn, he was caught of guard there for a minuet. All of his attention span were focused on the smaller things, but anyways. Jack turn his attention on to the waitress. Mmm food time.

" Yeah, i'll have a lamb on a roll with cheese, and lettuce. "

Yummy.

" Ok, the food will be like fifteen to twenty minuets. "

Damn, how did Jack past the time, as he waited for his meal? Maybe some entertainment showed up?

[Crymson]

Jack wasn't the only one bored out of his mind. You can't even invade the other show for entertainment anymore these days.

"Does anybody ever even talk to anybody in this place, or is it just full of loners that stop by while waiting to play somewhere else?"

Yep. Bored.

[Jack McArthur]

A very demanding, powerful voice echoed through the cafe. Who could it been? Jack turned around and faced the entrance. There she stood.

" Usually the waiter or waitress would give ya a good conversation, but at the end it's all for a tip. "

Was Jack trying to play the humor card?

[Crymson]

"Of course. That's their job. I was more or less talking about the other people you work with. From where I come from... people actually... you know, say "Hi" or "I hate you" before they try to come out and kick your ass..."

She shrugs, taking a seat nearby.

"Everyone must be a bit too full of themselves to be seen conversing, I guess?"

[Jack McArthur]

" The people l work with. "

Jack took a glimpse around the deserted cafe.

" I hardly see anyone l work with, kinda stranger. This place should be packed full of people l work with. They should be here, having a good time, but as you can see they're not. "

Once again the waitress walked up to Jack, this time with food. Yummy. She placed the plate in front of him.

" Thanks Shelia. "

Jack gave he a quick wink before she moved on to another customer. As the waitress walked away, Jack turned his attention on to the new girl.

" Got a name Shelia? "

[Crymson]

"Not Shelia. Claire."

She nodded along in agreeance with the things he was saying.

"Must be a stale bunch of people we work with then, if all they do is go down to the ring, say they'll kick somebodys ass, do it, repeat next week, in a different city and not give anybody a reason to care about them, hm? No drinks with people they don't hate, no intermingling with some kind of party, no nothing like that? Sounds boring as hell here... at least in my old place, we had some kind of massive club that people liked ending up in."

[Jack McArthur]

Jack parked in front of a table, as he attacked his hunger with his lunch, or dinner? While he Listened to this Shelia named Claire rant on about work. Some of the words the escaped her mouth that day stuck on Jack. It was like she was describing what he did for a living. One big swallow, Jack turned back and faced Claire.

" For a minute there Shelia....uhhh l mean Clair, you sounded like you where describing me. "

Jack took another bite of his sandwich.

"..But you can't blame me, one of the cons on being a champion. Try to get to know people, and then they start to boast on how they're gonna' get the title off me. "
