[b]CWA Revolution[/b] The last Thursday of January, 2007 Attendance: 1,741 [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v341/shamelessposer/Diary/2-ill.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v341/shamelessposer/Diary/RemmingtonRemus.jpg[/IMG] [color=green]"Good evening, everyone, and welcome to the DVD of the first ever CWA Revolution! I'm your announcer for tonight, 2-Ill."[/color] [color=purple]"And alongside 2-Ill, I'm Remmington Remus."[/color] [color=green]"Talk is cheap, except when you're in a recording booth. Let's get on with the show before they kick us out of here. Remmington, What's our first match?"[/color] [color=purple]"Our first match of the show, well, actually, our first match ever, is a hardcore match between newcomer Shoma Sawamura and hardcore legend Madman Boone."[/color] [color=green]"What kind of idiot would challenge Boone in his first match? It's right there in his name: 'Madman!'"[/color] [color=purple]"I actually had a chance to talk to Shoma with the benefit of a translator shortly before this match, and he said that he's always been a big fan of Boone, and if it wasn't for him he never would have gone to wrestling school."[/color] [color=green]"Sounds like he wants an awfully short career."[/color] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v341/shamelessposer/Diary/shomasawamura.jpg[/IMG] [b]VERSUS[/b] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v341/shamelessposer/Diary/MadmanBoone.jpg[/IMG] [b]Shoma Sawamura vs. Madman Boone: [i]Hardcore Match[/i][/b] Shoma is fairly well-known in Metro City as a member of the Metro Rockets, the city's minor league baseball team. He comes to the ring in his jersey, holding a baseball bat. Madman Boone follows a few seconds later, pre-empting his own entrance music and walloping Sawamura with a cookie sheet. This would have turned the crowd against any other man, but the audience is used to seeing this kind of behavior from Boone in a hardcore match and starts cheering him. Shoma staggers forward, then quickly swings around and catches Boone in the gut with his baseball bat. Sawamura swings again, but this time Boone blocks the shot with his cookie sheet. Sawamura tries going for another swing, but Boone blocks it with the cookie sheet again. The baseball bat starts splitting around the top, so Sawamura goes for the surprise attack with a dropkick to Boone's knee. Boone topples over and Sawamura takes the time to run to the ring and fish out a new weapon. Boone is on top of him and about to give him a boot to the head when Sawamura ducks and Boone instead jams his foot against the side of the ring, aggravating the same leg that Sawamura had dropkicked seconds before. Sawamura gets out two baseballs and holds one in each hand, clubbing Boone's midsection and face with them. But Sawamura overextends himself on one of his blows and gets whipped into the ring steps for his troubles. He drops the balls, and Boone grabs one and throws it against the back of Sawamura's head as Sawamura attempts to stand. This causes Sawamura's head to bounce off of the edge of the ring steps, and his forehead gets split open for his troubles. Boone pulls Sawamura up and leans him against the ring steps, and it looks like he's asking him if he's okay. Sawamura nods, and then Boone clotheslines him over the ring steps! Boone goes to the ring apron, does an elbow drop off the edge, 1-2-3. [b]Madman Boone wins the first match in CWA history[/b]. It's a good opener, and couldn't have been much better given Shoma Sawamura's lack of experience. [b]D-[/b] After the match, Sawamura staggers to his feet. He's grinning from ear to ear underneath all the blood, and he offers his hand to Madman Boone. They shake hands, and the crowd loves seeing this kind of sportsmanship between two men who have just beaten the crap out of each other. [b]D[/b] [color=green]"Naturally, the newcomer just didn't have what it took to bring down a hardcore legend like Madman Boone."[/color] [color=purple]"Still, 2-Ill, you've got to admit that he did better than you expected. He got in some pretty innovative offense."[/color] [color=green]"If by 'innovative' you mean 'ineffective,' I agree wholeheartedly. But I will give the kid credit where it's due: Most rookies are smart enough not to get into a hardcore match, much less against a guy like Madman Boone, but Sawamura went in with a game plan and almost had the upper hand for a while. It'll be exciting to see more from him in the future. We now take you backstage, where Commissioner Phoenix Wright is about to announce tonight's main event."[/color] [b]The Lottery[/b] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v341/shamelessposer/Diary/dan-1.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v341/shamelessposer/Diary/phoenixwright.jpg[/IMG] Dan Hibiki, MMA legend, walks into Commissioner Wright's office. He's dressed for competition. "I'm dressed and ready to go, Commissioner Wright. Tell me something I want to hear." "Don't you worry about that, Dan. For the first edition of CWA Revolution, I'm deciding the competitors for the first-ever CWA World Warrior Title match by random drawing." "That's a great idea, Commissioner. You're a wrestling genius." Wright gives an awful fake laugh. "Come on, Dan, this is a 100% random drawing. Your flattery won't improve your odds at all." Commissioner Wright pulls out a basket full of balls with names on them. He takes one ball out of the bottom of the basket... [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v341/shamelessposer/Diary/dan-1.jpg[/IMG] "Great news, Dan! You're one of the contenders for the title tonight!" Dan does a little dance, and juts his fist forward in his trademark pose. "Yahoo!" "Now, let's see who your opponent is." Commissioner Wright reaches into the basket and pulls out one more ball... [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v341/shamelessposer/Diary/biffslamkovich.jpg[/IMG] "It's Biff Slamkovich!" Dan's expression goes from ecstasy to agony in about two tenths of a second. "Biff Slamkovich? I've got to wrestle Slamkovich?" "Is that going to be a problem, Dan?" "Oh, no, not at all. I mean, sure, he's a wrestling prodigy. And he was trained by Mike Haggar and Zangief. But, uh, I'm not worried. At all. I've gotta go for an entirely unrelated reason, okay?" Dan quickly leaves the room. [b]C+[/b] [b]LATER TONIGHT: [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v341/shamelessposer/Diary/dan-1.jpg[/IMG] VERSUS[/b] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v341/shamelessposer/Diary/biffslamkovich.jpg[/IMG] [b]Real American Hero?[/b] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v341/shamelessposer/Diary/roybromwell.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v341/shamelessposer/Diary/tiffanylords.jpg[/IMG] Roy Bromwell, son of Senator Trevor Bromwell, comes to the ring accompanied by his lovely bodyguard Tiffany Lords. Bromwell takes the microphone and begins to speak. "It has come to my attention that the Capcom Wrestling Association World Warrior Title match tonight is being held free of American influence. This is morally repugnant to me, my father, and my family. My family did not come to this country on the Mayflower just so a bunch of foreigners could swoop in and take our jobs in the main event!" The crowd starts booing. Tiffany shouts "Tell 'em, Roy!" "Now, as I was saying before I got interrupted by you commie sympathizers, the main event has been stolen by foreigners, but Tiffany here is going to do her patriotic duty and win the CWA Warrior Woman title later tonight. She's the only American in the four-way elmination match, which just goes to show the liberal bias that New York lawyers have used to infect the entertainment industry, but she is going to win that title belt for us... for America!" The crowd boos more. Some audience members start throwing trash in the ring. "Naturally, the Communist subversive we call a commissioner forgot to book me, an All-American college football star and Ivy League scholar, in a match tonight. And that's why I'm going to make my own! Any of you in the back who think you can take on an American hero, get out here!" [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v341/shamelessposer/Diary/elstingray.jpg[/IMG] El Stingray begins walking down the entrance ramp. [b]C-[/b] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v341/shamelessposer/Diary/roybromwell.jpg[/IMG][b]VERSUS[/b] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v341/shamelessposer/Diary/elstingray.jpg[/IMG] [b]Roy Bromwell[/b] VERSUS [b]El Stingray[/b] Roy charges in for a clothesline while El Stingray is still on the apron. Stingray drops down and pulls the top rope with him, and Roy catapults himself out of the ring and onto the concrete floor below. El Stingray moonsaults to the outside and lands hard on Roy. Even this early in the match, both men are pretty obviously hurt. Bromwell and Stingray each struggle to their feet, and are up at the same time. Each man goes for a dropkick, and they both miss. There's a standoff, followed by a quick chain wrestling sequence that seems to have Bromwell pretty lost. The sequence ends with Bromwell turning a hammerlock into a short arm clothesline, and he rolls the staggered Stingray partially into the ring. Roy takes his forearm and starts rubbing it in Stingray's face, then gets back in the ring, drops an elbow on Stingray, and then begins choking him with the ring ropes. The referee tries breaking the obviously illegal hold, but Roy won't stop until the four count. Roy grabs Stingray by the leg and drags him to the center of the ring, then sits on top of his back for a Boston Crab. But before he can lock in the hold, Stingray rolls onto his back and has Bromwell in a bridge pin! 1-2-Kickout! The two roll away from each other, and Roy is furious. He again charges at El Stingray for a clothesline, and again he misses, this time getting a shoulder full of turnbuckle for his troubles. El Stingray dropkicks him stomach-first into the turnbuckle again, waits for him to bounce off, then goes up top for the Moonsault. 1-2-3, [b]El Stingray is the winner[/b]. It was an okay match given the style clash, and Roy Bromwell got some great heel heat out of it. [b]D-[/b] After the match, El Stingray runs alongside the crowd barricade and brushes hands with the fans, then exits through the crowd. The audience loves it. [b]D+[/b] [color=green]"I don't know too many people who can kick out of a two hundred pound man falling from about eight feet in the air."[/color] [color=purple]"El Stingray's had a very impressive CWA debut. We're really very lucky to have a star as big as him wrestling in the US."[/color] [color=green]"I wouldn't go that far. The flippy stuff is okay, but it doesn't hold up too well to a steel chair shot to the head."[/color] [color=purple]"You're doing an admirable job of maintaining your journalistic integrity and giving an unbiased version of the events."[/color] [color=green]"Yeah, for sure. We're taking you to Biff Slamkovich, who has something he wants to get off his chest before his big match tonight."[/color] [b]Interview with a Russian[/b] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v341/shamelessposer/Diary/biffslamkovich.jpg[/IMG] Biff Slamkovich is backstage on the microphone. He's all decked out for his match tonight, arm tassels included. "Hello, everyone. Welcome to the first edition of CWA Revolution! I would just like to be the first to say thank you for giving us a chance to entertain you. In Russia, I would sadly not have a crowd half as large to perform in front of. My trainer and friend, Mike Haggar, told me that Metro City fans are the greatest audience in the world." The crowd goes nuts at the name Mike Haggar and at the mention of their city. "Tonight, I've been fortunate enough to be picked as one of the first men to compete for the CWA World Warrior Title. It is an honor and a privilege, and if I must I will sacrifice my body rather than disappoint any of you." [b]C[/b] [color=purple]"Don't say it."[/color] [color=green]"In Soviet Russia, title fights for you!"[/color] [color=purple]"Is it out of your system now?"[/color] [color=green]"...maybe."[/color] [color=purple]"Next up, we have a four-way match for the CWA Warrior Woman Title. The competitors are Greece's Cammy, Japan's Maki Genryusai and Yurika Kirishima, and Tiffany Lords representing the United States."[/color] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v341/shamelessposer/Diary/cammy.jpg[/IMG] [b]VERSUS [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v341/shamelessposer/Diary/tiffanylords.jpg[/IMG] VERSUS [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v341/shamelessposer/Diary/yurikakirishima.jpg[/IMG] VERSUS [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v341/shamelessposer/Diary/maki.jpg[/IMG] Cammy versus Tiffany Lords versus Yurika Kirishima versus Maki Genryusai: [i]CWA Warrior Woman Title Four-Way Elimination Match[/i][/b] The match starts with Maki giving dropkicks and hurracanranas to everyone else to clear out the ring. The three competitors on the outside do a three-way exchange of blows for a few minutes before Maki does a suicide dive to the outside. Yurika is the only one smart enough to get out of the way in time, and rolls Cammy into the ring for a pinfall. 1-2-Kickout! Cammy gets to her feet and begins an exchange of chops with Yurika. Tiffany then comes back in and uses her superior size to get a double clothesline on Yurika and Cammy. Tiffany rolls Cammy into the middle of the ring for a pinfall... 1-2-Kickout! By this time, Maki has managed to compose herself and gets back into the action. She bulldogs Tiffany right onto Cammy and goes for the double pin... 1-2-Double Kickout! Yurika does a top-rope dive onto the three girls who are piled together, but bounces off and is too hurt to be able to make a pinfall. Maki and Tiffany are back up, with an exchange of Tiffany's forearms and Maki's kicks. Cammy whips Yurika into the ropes, and Yurika tries countering with a dropkick but Cammy manages to get out of the way at the last second. Tiffany powerbombs Maki for a two count, and Maki kicks Tiffany into the referee and he's sandiwched between Tiffany and the turnbuckle. He's dazed and confused. Maki dropkicks Tiffany. She dropkicks Cammy. And then Yurika comes in from from behind with her violin! She smashes it across the back of Maki's skull, sweeps the pieces away, and wakes up the referee. Tiffany gets the cover on Maki, 1-2-3. Maki is eliminated, and has to be helped to the back. Yurika and Tiffany seem to have made a deal, as Cammy becomes their next target and gets double clotheslined. Yurika signals for Tiffany to put Cammy in the Camel Clutch, and she does. Yurika looks like she's going for the Boston Crab for a double-team submission hold, but instead delivers a stiff kick to the back of Tiffany's head! Yurika makes the cover on Tiffany, 1-2-3, Tiffany is eliminated. Yurika tries going for the pin on Cammy, but Cammy kicks out at one. Yurika drags Cammy to her feet by the hair and whips her into the turnbuckle. She starts chopping Cammy, then throws in a dropkick for good measure. She lifts Cammy up to the top rope for a Superplex, but gets shoved down. Cammy gets a Missile Dropkick on the rising Yurika and goes for the pinfall, but only gets two. Cammy whips Yurika into the ropes, and on the rebound Yurika gets a forearm smash. She kicks Cammy into the corner and lifts her onto the top rope for the superplex again. Cammy starts chopping at the last second, though, and the two reverse positions! Cammy gets a Frankensteiner on Yurika! 1-2-3... [b]Cammy is the first-ever CWA Warrior Woman![/b] The match had some great spots, but no real flow. For taking a bunch of relative unknowns and getting the crowd to pop at a glorified spotfest, it gets a [b]D-[/b]. [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v341/shamelessposer/Diary/karin.jpg[/IMG] Right after the match, Karin Kanzuki comes charging into the ring with the CWA Warrior Woman title belt and smashed Cammy across the face with it! The referee and a road agent keep the two separated until Cammy can limp to the back. [b]D-[/b] [color=purple]"What is Karin Kanzuki doing here? Shouldn't she be at a party in Tokyo or something? She's practically the Japanese Paris Hilton!"[/color] [color=green]"Except Karin's hot."[/color] [color=purple]"Granted. But even so, this kind of brutality is unwarranted."[/color] [color=green]"You'll all be happy to know that Cammy has not suffered any serious injuries, but one of her eyes is pretty swollen and she'll need a couple of days away from competition."[/color] [b]500 Trillion Powers[/b] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v341/shamelessposer/Diary/birdie.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v341/shamelessposer/Diary/titanictim.jpg[/IMG] A video is shown for the British tag team of Titanic Tim and Birdie, known as "The 500 Trillion Powers." Birdie was a competitor in the first Street Fighter tournament, and Titanic Tim is one of the largest athletes on the planet. Together they weigh over eight hundred pounds! [b]D+ [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v341/shamelessposer/Diary/thawk.jpg[/IMG] VERSUS [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v341/shamelessposer/Diary/darun.jpg[/IMG] Thunder Hawk versus Darun Mister[/b] This is a very short and by-the-book squash match. Darun Mister and Thunder Hawk are both huge guys, but even a man mountain like Thunder Hawk can't stand up to the stiff strikes and absolutely frightening holds that Darun Mister learned in his years of fighting in India. [b]Darun systematically dismantles Thunder Hawk, then takes him to the ground and forces him to tap out with a modified STF[/b]. The match is what some on the internet refer to as Perfectly Adequate Wrestling, and as such gets a [b]D+[/b]. [color=green]"I have never seen a guy that big lose that fast."[/color] [color=purple]"There's a reason Darun Mister has never been defeated in his homeland. He's one of the best technical wrestlers on the planet."[/color] [color=green]"I guess you're right. I like Thunder Hawk's mostly no-nonsense style, but when you're put someone like him up against a mat wrestler like Darun, you've got to knock him out as fast as you can. Hawk didn't do it fast enough. We now take you to the ring for our main event: [b]Dan Hibiki versus Biff Slamkovich for the CWA World Warrior Title[/b]."[/color] [b]Interview with a Legend[/b] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v341/shamelessposer/Diary/dan-1.jpg[/IMG] Dan Hibiki is in the ring with a microphone. He blows into it a couple of times, provoking annoyed groans from the audience. "You all know who I am, so I guess I'll just skip the introductions. When you're a legend like me, your name precedes you. Sometimes, my name gets a day or two ahead of me and starts making hotel reservations in my name. Or is that its name? I dunno. Anyway, I don't even know why we're bothering to have a match for the title tonight. We could have saved me about five minutes and Slamkovich a fortune in hospital bills if we'd have just cut the match and gotten Commissioner Wright to present me with the title belt instead. But I guess that in Russia they like to do things the hard way." Biff Slamkovich's music hits the speakers. Dan doesn't look so confident anymore. [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v341/shamelessposer/Diary/dan-1.jpg[/IMG] [b]VERSUS [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v341/shamelessposer/Diary/biffslamkovich.jpg[/IMG] Dan Hibiki versus Biff Slamkovich: [i]CWA World Warrior Title Match[/i][/b] The bell rings and Biff starts with the fancy footwork usually seen in someone with a strong amateur background. Dan juts his fist forward and shouts "Yahoo!" and is immediately taken to the mat by Biff with a single leg takedown. Biff hangs on the leg and tries rolling Dan onto his stomach for an anklelock, but Dan kicks him away. Dan scrambles to his feet and delivers a nasty knee to Biff's gut, coming in from the side instead of the front. He nails Biff with a flurry of punches and kicks, then whips him into the ropes to set him up for... a crane kick? Biff catches Dan's leg in mid-kick and takes him back to the mat with a Dragon Screw. Biff gets behind Dan and puts him in a rear waistlock, dragging Dan to his feet. Biff gets a German Suplex, but instead of bridging for the pin stands up and delivers a second German Suplex! He gets up for a third but Dan wraps his arms around the second rope and the referee breaks the hold. Dan heads outside to take his breath, making a T-sign with his hands to call for a "time out." Biff isn't willing to comply, and instead whips Dan up against the ring apron and then rolls him back into the ring. He climbs onto the ring ropes to get back in himself, but Dan grabs him by the head and snaps his neck against the top rope! Biff is rubbing his neck, and he's very obviously furious at what just happened. He rolls into the ring and then chases after Dan. Dan goes for the shoulder block, but it's no good against someone so much bigger than him. Biff locks in a front facelock and delivers a snap DDT, but only gets a two-count on the pin because Dan's foot is on the ropes. Biff picks up Dan and whips him into the ropes, and Dan comes bouncing back with a sweep kick! He rolls his other leg on top of Biff for something like a roll-up pin, and then grabs the bottom rope with both hands! The referee doesn't see it! 1-2-3, [b]Dan Hibiki is the first CWA World Warrior[/b]. Fans throw garbage in the ring as Dan makes a quick victory pose for the camera and then runs to the back, ending the show. [b]OVERALL RATING: C-[/b] [i]I turn off the DVD player. Remmington Remus and 2-Ill make a better commentary team than I would have expected, and the show was beyond anyone's expectations. But I find myself wondering, is this really worth it? And how did I end up half a million dollars in debt to a Japanese businessman? Oh, right. Sam Strong. Long story.[/i]

[shamelessposer]

Yay! My longest and prettiest diary entry evar! The next post will include more back story and a rundown on just who's in the promotion.

[FuelFan0102]

Great job, I really hope this continues, I had issues blending the SF Wrestlers with the C-Verse workers, but I love the characters and I look forward to seeing how the master works with his creation. It'd be like if Adam ever did a diary. Looking forward to more!

[shamelessposer]

Wow, that really means a lot. I guess now I just have to try and live up to your (impossibly high) standards. :) Expect another post (or two!) tomorrow. You'll get a rundown of the stars at the very least, and maybe another show.

[Guest The Aussie]

DUUUUUUUUUUDE This is going to be wicked. PUSH DAN HIBIKI TO THE MOON!

[shamelessposer]

Sorry about the lack of an update yesterday. I got a little too enthusiastic about picture cutting [i]and[/i] I had to try out the new City of Heroes update, and when you combine all of that with my usual slacking off, well, there's only so many hours in the day. Expect an update later.

[shamelessposer]

[b]Prologue[/b] It's early January. I'm getting yanked into the back of a very nice black Sedan. I vaguely wonder if I'm about to die, but then remember that Maya probably would have called me up and warned me if she'd felt anything like that. Then again, she didn't call her sister's death in advance. Maybe I should be worried. The guy in the back seat is freaking huge. Definitely bigger than the guy who just threw me back here, and probably about the size of Sam Strong. Japanese guy. Nice haircut. He puts the cigar in his mouth, then offers me his hand. "Hello, my name is Nobuo Kanzuki. It is a pleasure to meet you. Phoenix, is it?" I shake the hand. Not that I have much of a choice. His grip is like a vice. "Yes, sir. My friends call me Nick." Yeah, I know I just met him and getting pulled into the back of his car technically qualifies as kidnapping (I am an attorney, after all). But when there's no one within screaming distance and you're in the back seat of a sedan with the Japanese businessman equivalent to The Incredible Hulk, you try and be friendly. "Well, Nick, I've been led to believe that you lost your job tonight. Would you mind telling me about it?" With a different accent, I'd swear he was my high school guidance counselor. But remember, he's freaking huge. "Well, Mr. Kanzuki, until tonight I was a member of the booking team for United States Pro Wrestling. But the boss didn't like the direction I wanted to go with the company, and he fired me after my first show. Tonight." "That is a shame, Nick. Anything in particular he didn't like?" "He didn't seem to appreciate that I wanted to bring in more of the younger, up-and-coming wrestlers instead of all of the old and broken down guys who had been wrestling since I was in junior high. Turns out most of those old and broken down guys are close friends of his, and they don't like being told they're old." It's only now that I notice that Kanzuki's hair is gray around the temples. There's suddenly a very hard lump in my throat. "Well, then. I can see where creative differences like that could lead to someone like you being out of a job. I would like to offer you a business opportunity." Hey, I'm not dead yet! "I have recently purchased trademarks and equipment to an old wrestling promotion, Capcom Wrestling Association. Everything's set up in a warehouse in Metro City, the first show has been announced, and we're already in negotiation with several talents." "That's great. Where do I come in?" "The problem is that I was only a partial owner of the company, and the owner has reneged on certain portions of our business agreement. As such, the company reverts to me. But I have no knowledge of how to run a wrestling promotion. My business acumen relates mostly to hotel management." [i]That's[/i] where I know the name! The Kanzuki family run one of the two largest hotel chains in the world. But why's he got a wrestling promotion? "Then why have you got a wrestling promotion?" "My daughter wants to become a professional wrestler." "Karin? Karin Kanzuki?" "You know the name." "How couldn't I? She paid for training with Rainbow Mika and Sensational Ogiwara. There's been some talk about it on some of the bigger wrestling websites. Celebrities as big as her attract attention when they start getting into a business like this." "One of your priorities will be to ensure that Karin, my baby girl, doesn't get hurt. If she does, there will be consequences." "Umm... okay." "Also, she has a friend from high school. Sakura Kasugano. This friend of hers is also on your payroll, and must be looked after. Karin wants both of them to be stars." "Understood." "Good. I will be paying you five hundred thousand dollars for your first year of service... [i]if[/i] things go well. If my baby girl gets hurt, or if some terrible fate befalls the company by the end of the year, you will owe me the entirety of your paycheck." "Yes, sir." "Here's a plane ticket. You're leaving for Metro City tomorrow morning. Departure is at 11:30." I get out of the sedan and watch it drive off around the corner and out of sight. Why did I just agree to this? And now that I think of it, how did he know I got fired tonight?

[shamelessposer]

Just so everyone knows, this diary isn't dead. I've just been very, very sidetracked by City of Heroes and the new Cardfighters DS game and a wee bit of modding on the side even though I swore I was going to take a break from it for a while. Expect an update in the next day or two.

[FuelFan0102]

Cardfighters DS? As in like the Capcom vs. SNK Cardfight games from the Neo Geo Pocket Color? Those games were incredible, It's a shame that the system died.

[sebsplex]

Now I long for the days when I had a SNES and used to find Cammy hawt~! Ahem, anyway... enjoying this so far. It's certainly a unique challenge, but you're doing a good job of meshing together the two universes. On a more cosmetic note, I love the cuts as well.

[shamelessposer]

I, urm, deleted the game. Crap. Expect another, similar diary sometime in the near future. Until then, you're all morally obligated to download the mod and start your own SF vs. CV diaries, right? :D
