Here's the rub. Declan Black pays an exorbitant sum of money before every major show he's in to hold a massive luxury barbecue, with everything you can imagine, for the roster, talent, staff, you name it. Everybody usually gets loaded drunk on top-shelf liquor, so they're nice and pissed off for the show. Feel free to get up to any funny, outlandish shite you want, this is meant as a little pre-show fun thread. I'll be getting one up the day before all the Livewires. For purposes of location, the loading dock in the back of the Manhattan Center is opened up, and this is where the events are held. While these can get a little verbally nasty, especially as people start to drink, there is no violence during these events. Enjoy!
*Declan Black arrives in a Michigan State Spartans home football jersey worn over a white t-shirt and designer blue jeans with expensive looking Nikes. He checks that everything is prepared to his exacting standards, gets the DJ spinning a Classified track, and turns the two large screen TVs to college football, Wisconsin vs. Michigan State. He grabs up a delicious cheeseburger, pours himself a Liquorman's Whiskey and Coke, finds a chair, and starts watching.*

A brand new member to the Livewire roster, it would have been absurd and talked about if Tyler Keenan had decided that he wasn't going to show up. Despite the fact that he wasn't competing on the show, there would be no doubt something for him to do during the show even if it was off-camera. He had been alerted to this barbecue a few hours before it was happening and decided that it would be convenient for him to show up and socialize with the people he had so far only talked to behind typed words and computer screens. There could possibly be dirty looks and vulgar words thrown in his direction but he didn't care, he was a member of the roster and it was his right to show up to this barbecue.
Turning up dressed in a plain white v-neck t-shirt, skinny red chinos and black converse boots, Tyler folds his arms and looks around. Having done a double-take when he realized that the barbecue would be in the loading dock of the Manhattan Center, he simply sighed got along with it. Grabbing himself a Coke, Tyler takes a few glances at either side of his surrounding. Seeing no-one that he really knows, he sighs and simply walks to a wall with a decent view of the two large screen TVs, before placing the sole of his left boot on the wall for balance and turning his attention to the college football.

*Declan turns his head to Tyler, giving him just enough consideration to approximate bored politeness.*
Hello, Abercrombie. Help yourself.

*Declan turns his head to Tyler, giving him just enough consideration to approximate bored politeness.* Hello, Abercrombie. Help yourself. Tyler smirks. "It's Dolce and Gabbana. Says so on the tag behind my neck. Smart guess for Abercrombie." Tyler returns to his drink, sipping lightly. He the n looks up, turns his head to Declan and grins in a sarcastically sweet manner. "Oh and thanks. I will help myself."

As Declan is talking to one of the newest guys on the Livewire roster, he hears a cheerful voice calling out from behind him.
“Hey Dec…”
Once he turns around, he sees Candy skipping her way towards him with Mr. Mason and Brittany flanking her.
“Coming with a security team, huh?”
“Something like that.”, she replies chuckling some, “Can never be too careful, ya know.”
Declan nods.
“Don’t forget, my offer still stands.”
At this point, Mr. Mason interjects himself into the conversation.
“She doesn’t need your offer anymore.”
This draws Declan’s attention to him. The two are having a bit of a stare off. At least until Candy speaks up again.
“Sometime maybe. We’ll see.”
Declan said he’d keep her safe if she wanted to hang out sometime, but then her friends showed up. Well, Maddy showed up...and he brought Brittany with him. At least the girls were civil toward one another. Anyway…
“But I am here now to hang out.”
“I can see that.”
Candy offered him a friendly smile.
“Soooooo, you have a lot of things going on here. But where’s the candy? You made sure to get some this time, didn’t you?”
She awaited his response, with Mason and Brittany standing at her sides not looking amused. Especially Mason with the way Declan was looking at her.

"He doesn't have the Candy? Bad Declan. Bad. Oh, Declan. Are you going to be Ernie Parker junior? Keep your eyes respectful. That means look the woman in the eyes when you're talking with her."Mason looks at Brittany."As for her, you may not want to look at her at all. You might go blind."Mason looks back at Declan. He takes a step forward."You really need some candy. Chocolate would be great for starters."

Watching the entire situation pan out from afar, Tyler simply chuckles to himself under his breath and turns away, drinking his drink in silence. He didn't need the extra hassle of getting involved with the problems of someone who he didn't even know from Jack. Things would be getting way too hasty for that. No, Tyler had come to this little barbecue for a drink, some food and to try and further his own agenda should anyone who he had a problem with turn up. So far, only one of Tyler's goals had been achieved and he was a little hesitant to make a move for food in case one of the four people he had vaguely seen before so far wanted to draw him into their conversation.
So he didn't move. He simply sat down on the floor and continued to sip his drink. |

*Declan snaps his fingers, and at once, a large cooler full of Jolly Rancher candies is brought to him by an attendant.*
"I promised that it would be had, and I always keep my promises."
*Candy eagerly dives in and grabs a handful, as does Brittany. Mason looks at the cooler, and adopts a sneering tone.*
"Well, it's not chocolate, but..."
*He goes in to grab some candies as well, only to be stopped by a rather large security guard who looks to have a few felonies on his resume, who physically pulls his wrist back. Declan turns his head to Mason, and tells him, in a tone so cold it could end global warming...*
"Who said you could have any? This barbecue is for the roster, talent, staff...people who work for EOW. Last I checked, you didn't work here. See, Candy is not only my friend, which is what you call women you like, but aren't interested in carnal relations with, I know you have trouble with that concept, but she's on the EOW roster. I respect her. Tyler Keenan *pointing over to him* is on the EOW roster. While we may not see eye to eye, I respect him. Sabrina Carpenter *he points over to her, sipping a beer and watching the game* is an EOW employee. I respect her. Your friend over here, while she is not an EOW employee, is a lady, and as such, inherently deserves respect. In addition, she has not disrespected me, as you have done since you walked in.
You are not an employee, nor someone I respect or have any inclination to. You are nothing. So you can stand out of the way, making no noise, pretending that you don't exist, and not eating my food or drinking my drinks until I damn well say you can while I hang out with my friend, or I can have you removed. The choice is yours."
(OOC: Apologies if I screwed up the fonts.)

Mason takes a single Jolly Rancher out of the wrapper and looks at Declan with a smile on his face. He puts the candy in his mouth.
"Now, you're right about a few things. One, women do deserve respect. Unless they have done something that proves they don't deserve it. Two, I'm not EOW staff. But, perhaps you ought to check again. I may not be in action tomorrow night, but my contract has been signed. And, last and certainly not least. Candy is your friend. That I do respect."
Mason takes the piece of Jolly Rancher out of his mouth and looks at it.
"There's just one more thing that you have yet to realize. You may have made an offer to Candy. And, she's obviously free to continue considering it. I didn't need to make an offer. Candy asked for my help."
Mason puts the Jolly Rancher back in his mouth.
"So while she's considering your offer, just know she asked me to watch her back. Now, go make a few calls. Verify that I've signed with EOW. Perhaps you and I will see each other after tonight soon enough where talent matters. Until then, if it makes you happy, you can just consider me as a guest of one of your friends."
He looks back over his shoulder at Brittany.
"As for that..."
Mason looks back at Declan with a grin.
"She can pay for her own drinks."
Mason looks at Candy who isn't exactly comfortable with the tension.
"Enjoy the party. I'm here if you need me."
He looks at Declan again.
"And as for our host...Candy isn't picky when it comes to the dessert, but her favorite is chocolate. Friends know that."

Evie, dressed in a plaid shirt and skinny jeans walks into the BBQ knowing full well she could easily bump into Tyler but walks straight to Declan
"Hello Declan. I've heard a lot about you, from Jules. I'm a family friend of the Fischer's. And don't worry... its mostly good."
She smiles at the others, offering a hand.
"Evie Taylor. It's nice to meet you all in person."
She catches eyes with Tyler and nods.
"Tyler. Good to see you."
She's pleasant but obviously she's putting on a bit of a show as to not cause a scene in public.

“These are still good and all.”
Candy said drawing Declan’s attention back to her as Mason and Brittany retreated to the other side of the room. Mason was still keeping an eye on her, but they did have their space at the moment.
“Couldn’t decide which one to eat first, so I took one of every flavor.”
Declan could tell that her cheeks was pretty stuffed.
“Maybe I could thank you with a dance later? I hear there’s music playing!”
Before Declan could reply, Evie arrived and started to introduce herself to everyone.
“EVVVVVVVVIIIEEEEEEEEEEE!”
At this point, Candy got up from her seat on the cooler and excitedly threw her arms around the woman. And why not? Candy had already declared Evie one of her new besties, afterall.

Tyler grins, standing up and placing his drink down on the floor.
"And here I was thinking you'd look straight through me, I'm shocked." |
