From the depths of obscurity (O2A)

[Victor Wayne]

The face of the man standing at the coffee stand in the GCW lobby might have been familiar to some but everything else was different. Clad in a black and white pinstriped suit with jet black hair he'd clearly come under the influence of more recent trends *coughloserwhodiscoveredhottopiccough*. Without any fanfare, melodramatics or secrecy he had merely flown in on the weekend and booked a hotel within walking distance looking to get a sense of things before diving too far in instead of bringing trumpets and heralds.

The presentation had changed but but was it still the noble if hapless old Victor Wayne deep down?

It wasn't like the woman behind the counter was in any position to judge. Even though she was next to it it wasn't like she followed all this nonsense. As he paid for his orders a paper and a cup of whatever the brew was she did show that maybe she had a sense about people.

Are you new? You look like a wrestler.

Not officially I guess, I just got in a couple days ago. This is actually the first time I've come down here though, pretty nice.

No place like Chicago, right?

Finally a sane one. Or so she thought...

There's a hole in the world like a great black pit
and the vermin of the world inhabit it
and its morals aren't worth what a pig could spit
and it goes by the name of Chicago.

Nerves got the better of him. Cue awkward silence.


Sweeney Todd. I watched it on the plane.






If you would have seen it you would have known it was a perfect set up.

Right...

Well, I mean I did kind of take a few liberties with... I should just go before I make this worse than it is. Maybe I'll find a map of all this or just run into someone I know.

“Oh God, what if I run into someone I know? Just calm down and get this over with.” He took a deep breath and started walking around surveying the area deciding if he could just sit and read a while he might be more mentally prepared. Although, it just couldn't work out that way, could it?

*DING* The sound of an elevator reaching the lobby floor could be heard. The doors slid open and stepping out from the elevator was none other than that nyukka Jin mothafuggin' Remmy. He was dressed rather casually. A pair of lime green and black goggles were strapped across his forehead underneath his braids. A gray hooded sweatshirt with a star logo with the letter 'R' plastered across it and the phrase "Lewd, Crewd, and Tattooed" on it. A brown leather belt with golden studs, buckle, and chain was securely fastened around his waist that kept up a pair of baggy royal blue cargo pants. A pair of red, black, and white Hurricane 310 sneakers kept him walking comfortably. One hand was stuffed in the pocket of his sweatshirt and the other hand held the hand of a little three year old girl walking by his side. The little girl looked exactly like baby sized Jin, but in female form. Obviously, the little girl was Jin Remmy's daughter Tequila Rose Remmy. The two stepped out of the elevater and began to enter the lobby. While entering the lobby, little Tequila stopped in her tracks and looked up at her father. Jin looked down his daughter with a puzzled look on his face.

Tequila: "Up! Up!"

...the child said, her arms extended up to her father. She wanted to be held and Jin smiled at her. Then he knelt down and picked her up by her waist. Tequila clutched onto her father's tightly. He held her close to his waist and then continued to walk. As the two walked into the lobby, little Tequila looked around and made eye contact with the man in black. She pointed to the man and began to say...

Tequila: "Who that?"

"Hmmm...?"

Remmy cocked an eyebrow up in confused and looked in the direction the three year old was pointing off to. Jin didn't recognize who the guy was. He figured it might be some new blood looking to get their foot into GCW. A smirk crossed his face and decided to walk over to where the man in black was at. Saying to his daughter as he did...

"Let's find out."

Jin raised an arm up into the air as he walked towards the man in black. The smirk remaining on his face as he stepped. He greeted the man with...

"Yoooooooooooooooooo!"

[Victor Wayne]

Oh sure it all would have been great except he'd already started looking through the metro section. That meant he missed most of Remmy's approach and if there's one thing we've learned over the years it's that Victor Wayne didn't startle well. He was able to keep it quiet this time but there was still plenty of sudden movement and jumping back.

Thank God for those tight safety lids on coffee cups. It make you appreciate the lawsuits that brought them about.

Alright, I'm going to ask you to never do that again.

He'd never met Remmy before, even though he was familiar with his work, otherwise he'd just assume malicious intent.

I've seen you on TV right?

[Jayceon Williams]

"Hahahaha... Damn nyukka. Ain't no need to be getting jumpy. It's not like I'm Jean Bordeux or something. Hahahaha..."

Jin had startled the man in black. That was funny to him. Then again, you don't just sneak up on a person unnannounced. Especially if you don't even know the person that you are sneaking up on. Tequila just kind stayed clutched to her father as she stared at the man in black. She thought he looked strange. Jin shook his head as he laughed to himself, then he continued...

"You might have seen me on TV before. It was either that, or you saw me on YouTube, caught my blogs, or even happened to come across my MySpace page. Or you might have seen me through some other means of publicizing myself. Hahahaha... The names Jin Remmy. And you would be....?"

...Jin asked, he didn't recognize the man in black. He hadn't really paid much attention to people outside of GCW. Maybe it's something he should really pay attention to, since new faces come and go in this business like everyday.

[Victor Wayne]

Victor Wayne.

I guess I'm the new guy. Well, I will be once the lawyers get done with everything. I thought I'd come by and take the tour today. I'd ask for some tips but you look a bit too busy to know here all the fun spots are around here.

He said smiling down at the little girl for a moment.

[Jayceon Williams]

Jin nodded his head, thinking he understood what Victor may have meant by 'a bit too busy.' It was true. Jin had to cut down on his crazy antics quite a bit since he's now responsible for another human being. He still had his fun, but it was in smaller doses opposed to how he used to be. Jin just simply nodded and responded...

"Heh... Don't be so quick to discredit me. You want to know where the fun spots are? I know the fun spots. I've been all up and down the fun spots. They don't call me the St. Louis Lunatic for nothing. You can ask anyone on the roster or staff, they'll tell ya. I've had more than enough of my fair shares of stories to tell, or try to remember. Hahahaha. Depending on the particular nights in question, that is. I've got some time to kill though. I was really just heading on my way out to grab some groceries, but I've got some spare time. What is it you want to know Vic?

[Victor Wayne]

Well nothing really.

That would have been quick, but this was almost a deliberate pause for a sip. Dare I say a sign of comfort in the new setting?

That's to say nothing in particular. Since you're keen on being helpful, why don't you tell me what's in here. Every obscenely rich wrestling promoter builds their corporate headquarters a bit different, right?

[Jayceon Williams]

"Well..."

Jin paused for a moment, he turned to look at Tequila. Thinking for a moment of what all this place had to offer. The GCW Tower was pretty big. He hadn't exactly had the pleasure to explore the entire building, even if he had been here for the entire first season. He looked back over at Victor and shrugged his shoulders...

"Well... This place is more of an apartment complex kind of idea instead of a headquarters. Sure. They have the offices of the higher ups here. Probably some offices for other junk. At the same time... There's a bunch of suites here for those who wish to live here in the GCW Tower. I believe there's a cafeteria area, incase you don't want to leave the building. If you do? There's a cafe not too far from this place that GCW owns. Pretty much the whole package. Some how, some way... We all coexist in this building regardless of the hatred that brews between some."

[Victor Wayne]

It's called fear of legal action.

He said, a little disappointed.

So, that's really it?

You mean they told me everything in the brochure? That's a little suspicious don't you think?

Or not. At least it makes things a bit simpler. I should be able to find my way around on my own. I don't want to keep you from your errands or anything.

[Jayceon Williams]

"Alright. Well, I'm this way."

Jin nodded towards the exit of the Tower.

Have fun exploring the place. If you need me, I'm not too hard to find around these parts. Good luck in GCW. You're going to need it. See ya."

Tequila: "Buh-bye!"

The young Tequila waved goodbye to Victor Wayne, as did her father Jin. After that, the Remmys walked past Victor and made their way towards the exit. Leaving Victor to whatever he had planned to do himself.
