Slowly making his way through the entrance of the Tower View Restaurant & Lounge came 187 with that usual smirk on his face. It was a couple days after the recent loss against Jason Cross on the last Full Throttle. He figured he needed a little rest and relaxation before the upcoming pay-per-view. He had been a little on edge recently. He needed to take some time to take his mind off of things for a little bit. 187 was dressed up in a red Dickies button up shirt, red Dickies double-kneed pants to go with it, a rad bandana tied across his forehead, and a pair of black All-Star Converse sneakers. He was alone once again. His looked around the Tower View to see what was going on in the area. Didn't seem like much was happening. Things were pretty calm. He just shrugged his shoulders and headed toward his favorite part of the place, the bar in the Lounge area. He slowly began to makes his way around people and tables on his way over there. Looking to the left of him and then over to the right of him as he walked. 187 approached the bar in search of an empty seat to sit in. Once he found an unoccupied stool at the bar, 187 walked over to it and sat down on it. He placed his elbows ontop of the bar and looked over to where the bartender was standing. The bartender had a mug in his left hand and a rag in his right hand. It looked like he was just drying a glass that had been washed. 187 made eye contact with the bartender and waved for him to come over to where he was sitting. The bartender nodded his head and turned around to set the glass down among the rest of them. Then the bartender proceeded to walk over to where 187 was sitting and greeted him by saying...
Bartender: "Welcome. What will you be having tonight, sir?"
187 just looked up at the bartender with that smirk on his face and said...
"You should already know. Gimme a bottle of 'dat good sh*t. Some of 'dat good Hennessy."
Bartender: "Alright, sir. I'll get that for you right away. Would you like anything else?"
"Nah, I'm good."
Bartender: "Alright."
The bartender walked over to where his selection of beverages were behind the bar. 187 began to look around the Lounge as he waited. Watching what was going on around him. As he waited for the bartender to retrieve his choice of drink, a voice had broken his concentration. He raised an eyebrow and turned to see who it was that had approached him.

Sake please.
Said the voice from Misaki Yoshida as she walks over to the bar in the Tower View Restaurant. After a quick but lonely tour through the tower she stops at the restaurant to drink something. A man is sitting at the bar as well, but Yoshida doesn’t know him, so she ignores him at the moment. But this could of course chance…

Bartender: "Here you go, sir."
The bartender had returned with a bottle of Hennessy and a glass for 187. 187 nodded to the bartender after receiving his order
"Hmmm...?"
He turned to look at this asian woman who seemed to have joined him at the bar. 187 didn't recognize her. He hadn't seen her around APW before. He figured it was probably a chance to get to know some of the new blood. He didn't have anyone to talk to here so he decided he'd start up some sort of conversation with this person...
"Whattup? Haven't seen ya 'round here befo'. "

Yoshida turns her head in the direction in which 187 is sitting to see who is talking to her as it appears to her that he has spoken to her. The first thing she notice as she looks at him is that he must be some kind of hip hop gangsta or something like that…which she thinks because of the way he is dressed. The 2nd thing she notice is that he has a big fat and ugly scare in his face. She raise an eyebrow a bit before she answer his question.
That could be, I just have arrived in Canada nearly 1 hour ago.

He raised an eyebrow after what she had said. She was new to APW, that was for sure. 187 decided this was a good chance to get to know some of the newer talent in the company. Didn't seem like anyone else here gave a damn about their champion. He didn't expect them to anyways. 187 proceeded to grab ahold of his bottle of Hennessy and began to open it. As he did so, he responded to the asian woman by saying...
"Just an hour ago? You mean 'dat you got here in Canada an hour ago or you got yo'self a contract an hour ago?"

Contract? Oh…that…well I got somebody who deals with such things. I am not very good with all this business stuff you need to deal with the owners of companies. By the way who are you if it is allowed to ask?
To Yoshida's surprise the barkeeper comes back with a bottle of sake...a happy smile appears on her face as she fills her glass with the sake.

"I see. I need to get me one of those. I don't do good wit' bidness neitha' but.. meh... I manage to get through it wit'out too much hassle."
He just shrugged his shoulders as he paused for a moment. He took this time to pour himself some of his alcoholic beverage into the glass that it came with. After filling the glass to the top, he set the bottle down ontop of the bar and looked back at the woman.
"They call me 'Da Infamous 187. You can just call me 187 fo' short though. I'm 'da current APW World Champion at 'da moment. If you don't mind me askin' you eitha', who might you be?"
He took a firm hold of the glass of Hennessy and brought it up to his lips. Then he took a quick sip from the glass which brought a smirk to his face. How he manages to get by without this stuff, he will never know.

Misaki Yoshia to your service.
She takes a closer look at the young man who is sitting next to her. So this is the World Champion of APW. Hm…should she be impressed or not. Judging by his scars he might be more dangerous then he appears on the first look, which is also the chase when you look at Yoshida. She is not very tall, not the youngest anymore..but still one of the best. After she has empty the smal glass with sake she continues to speak.
So you are the champion of this company…very interesting.

"Nice to meetcha Misaki."
187 nodded his head a little bit. She looked like she could be a little tough. He didn't know. He heard in other countries that wrestling was much more physical and a hell of a lot better than it is in America. There could be more than meets the eye with Misaki. Guess that's why he ended up in a Canadian based company. Then he brought that glass up to his lips again for another sip. After setting the glass down on the bar again, he continued...
"Yeah, I'm 'da champ. Been a long time comin' but I finally managed to get myself some gold 'round my waist. Been through hell and back, then went back through hell just to get it. I plan on keepin' it here too. "

Well you are looking like that, judging by this nasty scars you got. But keeping something like a championship can be more difficult as it looks like at th first look. Trust me I know what I am talking about. Everybody sees you as champion as sombody who is a good target and because of that your life is maybe more hectical as you would wish for.
Yoshida reach for the bottle and fills her empy glass.

"You would think so, but 'round here...? It's hard to find competition. Some people ain't motivated enough or some sh*t to step up to 'da plate and try their hand at a title. Only reason I got people gunnin' fo' my belt is 'cause I made a lot of enemies durin' my time in 'dis place and otha' places. So, they see me get a lil' success and they wanna cut me down. Jealous 'cause they can't be where I am or somethin'... And as fo' these scars of mine..."
187 looks down at what could be seen of his skin that he could see. He sure did have quite a lot of scars across his body. All of them have their story to tell. He looked back up at Misaki with that smirk across his face.
"Surprisin' as it may sound... All these scars... Not all of them are from what happens inside of 'da ring. Nah, some of them from some of 'da mo' brutal matches. But 'da vast majority of them I got from outside of 'da bidness. Some sh*t 'dat happens in my personal life."

Well, that is life. Shit happens nearly every day…if it is small or big, doesn’t matters at all. I have gone through a lot of shit too, if you can call it like that.
A slightly laugh escapes Yoshida’s lips.
But what should I say I ignore it, try to forget it or simple don’t care about it. Life is too short anyway to care about such things. It is more useful to thing about the good things that happens to your life. Even when they only last a few couple of minutes, but you still can remember them as if they had just happened yesterday.

"Think 'bout 'da good things in my life?"
That right that made a little laugh come from 187 this time. The thought of anything good in his life was something he found funny. He shrugged and began to try and think if there was anything he could consider "good."
"Hmm... I got unrelated family out here. Not to say I ain't got any blood relatives. I got real family who is very much alive. They just don't accept me as part of 'da family anymo' 'cause of... what happened long @$$ time ago. Umm.. I got one good eye. 'Dats good I suppose. I ain't totally blind. You see 'dis right eye of mine?"
He bring his free hand up to point to that very eye.
"Fake. It's a glass eye. 'Da real one don't work anymo'. Got into a fight. It got nasty. Got a glass bottle shattered in my face. F**ked my eye right up. 'Da scar unda' 'dis glass eye is from a different time though. Switchblade slashed across my face from anotha' fight from my younga' days. So I got unrelated family, one good eye... Let's see... Few friends. Guess I should be glad I got any at all. Hmm.. I got my health I suppose. 'Dats a plus. Hmm.. Meh... Guess I got some good things. Sorry if I've just been ramblin' on. I do 'dat sometimes. I get to talkin' 'bout sh*t 'dat happens and I just keep goin' on and on. And I'm sure you don't wanna hear a bitter person talk 'bout how f**ked up his life is. I blame 'da alcohol fo' ramblin'."
He shook his head a little bit and brought that glass of Hennessy to his lips again. Yep. Taking another sip from the glass. As if 187 needed any more to drink in his life. But it calms his nerves and keeps him calm. Soothes the pain in his life. It's like that saying of how pain can't swim, so he drowns it all in alcohol. That's how he felt about his drinks.

Ooo…kk. Doesn’t sound so good at all.
Yoshida says and thinks back at her own past. Mother and father died by accident, her sister died by the birth or her daughter…she doesn’t has any friends at all as she can’t allow herself this, as her “new” family doesn’t has room for such weaknesses as friends.
But I know how that is….Life sucks pretty much.

187 nodded his head a little bit.
"Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm just tryna' make somethin' positive outta someone negative. I keep thinkin' 'bout 'da past so much 'dat it just gets to me. I get to tellin' my whole life story if I didn't catch myself. 'Dats all. I just get to talkin' up 'bout how bad my life is when there are probably people out there who got it just as bad or worse than me. Anyways, tell me 'boutcha self Misaki. I been talkin' 'bout me, how 'bout you? What is Misaki all 'bout?"

I am a wrestler…this is who I am, this is what my whole life is all about. Oh and I am teacher as well…wrestling teacher of course. I have trained a lot of young wrestlers who make now an impact in Japan. So you can say my life is pretty much all about wrestling and …other things that I have to deal with. But I don’t like to talk about that so much…you know … if I tell you about it I might have to kill you.
Yoshida laughs about that, but when you look in her eyes you know that this is no joke.

"You might have to kill me, huh? Where have I heard 'dat befo'?"
187 laughs to himself as he shakes his head. He brings that glass of his up to his lips once again to take a quick drink from his Hennessy. Then he set the glass back down on the bar and looked back to Misaki.
"It's cool though. You ain't gotta tell me 'boutcha personal life if ya don't wanna. So you're a wrestla' and a wrestlin' teacha' too? 'Dats nice. Who all have you trained? Anyone big or major 'dat I might have heard of? I ain't been to Japan but I've faced some of them boys ova' there befo'. So I might know some of 'da people you trained."

Most of the time I have trained female wrestlers. The Tokio Bull, Swift for example or who you may know better as she is wrestling here in APW. Yuki Kenzo. I am pretty sure that you know her as she is somehow a bit of a attention seeker…Running around naked and playing jokes and stuff like that…But she is a good wrestler as well.

"Swift? Hmmm... Don't believe I know her. Nah, I don't think I've met her befo. As fo' Yuki, 'dat girls a crazy one. I know whatcha mean 'bout her jokes. She ain't got my with one of her jokes yet but I've heard from 'round 'da locka' room 'dat she got quite a few people here and there wit' her pranks. She goes out wit' my Familia brotha' Dice. 'Dats how I met her. She might be a bit of a weed smoka' too from what I've seen. Which might be my fault. She picked it up from me and Dice. I ain't seen her in a good while but she was pretty good last I did see her. "

Well that is her. She always tried to break free from the hands of her family and doing stuff like this is her own way to do that. I can remember how happy she was as she won the Rose title in front of her dad…But that lays in the past and as always it is more important to focus on the future. I am pretty sure that you have a lot to focus on as well. Defending your title again this week I think at the PPV…against ..? What was his name again? A large guy who looks like as he took to much steroids…
