There was a thick haze of smoke in the hotel lounge, where we find Doc Hammer posted up at a corner table. Several empty beer bottles litter the table, along with an ashtray that was on the verge of overflowing. The old man was getting himself prepared for what was to come at the big dance. A title fight meant a lot to him at this stage in his career and he needed to be ready mentally. His eyes drift upwards when he notices [x] a few feet from his table, glancing his way.
Doc Hammer: If yer sittin' down, yer drinkin'...
Was all that came out of the old man's mouth as he finishes off another cigarette then takes a sip from the bottle sitting in front of him.

Barlisha would be seen sitting by, shocked at who she was looking at. Not really a star, but someone Barlisha is a fan of due to his style in the ring. Nonetheless, she would respond back with a half smile drawn across her face.Barlisha: "Ight, shit. Just as long as we have some liquor on deck. I get tired of beer quickly. Takes too long to kick in." It was the athlete's first day on the job, not even signing on the dotted lines a full twelve hours ago, and she wanted to see who were coworkers might be. Or even how they act. Barlisha positioned herself up on the wooden bar chair against the counter.

Tired of beer. The thought itself was pure sacrilege to the old man. Still, he had a lot riding on this week and didn't need to complicate things (or worse) by getting into it with some broad in the hotel lounge. He glances back at her with a small nod.
Doc Hammer: Fair enough, I s'pose.
He takes another drink from his bottle then leans back in his seat, looking her way again.
Doc Hammer: So, ya got a name?

Barlisha turned her way and leaned back in her seat, slinging her right arm behind herself onto the top of her chair.
Barlisha: "Yeah. My name is Alicia...but like Barlisha a lot more. I would ask what you are, but we both know that would be a waste of time."
She then stuck her right hand for a handshake.
Barlisha: "I happen to be a big fan of yours by the way. You don't do all dat flyin' around shit like my sister does. You just come in and go H.A.M. and I'm like that, too.

He takes note of the gesture then casually leans over, returning it with a another nod.
Doc Hammer: Forty years of experience got a way of teachin' ya how ta do things more efficiently. Quickest path is a straight line, an all that...
He shrugs a little bit.

Barlisha just nods her head in agreement.
Barlisha: "Yeah, absolutely. So I see you're on the main show and got a chance to be the new X-Core Champion. You going allout'?"
She just smirked before she glanced over at the counter.
Barlisha: "And where is my drink at?"

Bartender: Comin' up just one sec, miss...
He says, scrambling to get her order. Meanwhile, Hammer finishes his beer then holds the bottle up to signal for another.
Doc Hammer: Always been on the main show. I gotta few years inta the XHW. This weekend's about gettin' an opportunity that's been a long time comin' fer me. An you better believe I aim ta make the absolute most of it while I can.
It's amazing how quickly everyone wants to retire you once you hit a certain age.

Barlisha's eyes shoot over to the bartender as he finally prepared her order.
Barlisha: "A gin n topic would be nice."
She winks at bartender before looking back the challenger himself, studying his mannerisms.
Barlisha: "Yeah, that's exactly how it should be. Yo, I can't wait to debut! It'll feel good to kill bitches in XHW officially."

Doc Hammer: Gotta admit, there's been a heck of a lotta broads comin' in lately. But hey, long as ya can hold yer own when it counts, that's bout all that really matters when yer in this here line of work. An no offense, ya look like a pretty sturdy gal yerself...
He lights up another cigarette then, in a curious wave of sudden generosity, offers one to her.
Doc Hammer: How many years ya got under yer belt?

Ultimately, Barlisha decides to wave it off, denying the cigarette that was offered to her.
Barlisha: "Nah, I hate to be rude, but I don't fuck with those hahaha."
Locking her fingers together and leaning forward on the table, she then looks back at Don.
Barlisha: "I've been at it for eight years. Feels good to finally get dat big break."

He shrugs a little and pulls his arm back, placing the pack in his pocket.
Doc Hammer: Suit yerself.
The bartender comes over with his beer, the latest in a pretty impressive line so far tonight. The man was definitely a drinker but not a sloppy one.
Doc Hammer: Breaks are only as big as ya make 'em. You got a plan fer yerself?

Barlisha nodded as Doc spoke. She agreed with his statement very much as experience showed her.
Barlisha: "Oh, damn right. But no...Barlisha doesn't plan on dominating. It's just inevitable. I mean it doesn't matter if it's twenty-thousand, two-hundred, or even twenty people. You always go all out in that ring and be ready for anything."
She winked at Doc with a half smile on her face. Her attention was then directed to the bartender, who finally delivered her Gin and Topic over to the line in front of her. She decided to just say fuck it and take a gulp of the tangy and strong drink, the hiring sensation running down her throat and forcing her to shiver a little.

He nods. Wasn't that the damn truth. But he was way past the 'love of the game' stage in his career.
Doc Hammer: Yeah but sooner or later, ya come to a point where ya just wanna be sure yer check clears every week. 'Specially in a promotion that pays like ours does. Seems like good money's hard to come by these days.
He says as he takes a drink of his beer.

Bar nodes her head as she thinks to herself about his statememt.
Barlisha: "Well, you do have a lot there. Gotta make sure you're clearing checks as you do what you love. Haha I think I have a problem or something. I feel like I'm grown addicted to thrashing girls as the crowd cheers me on.
And with that, she takes up an accomplished smile before taking another sip of her drink.

He takes another drink.
