“You sure we're in the right place?”
“Pheonix International Sky” Vanessa looked out the window of the car, “I think this is the right place.”
Wayne took long drag of the cigarette in his hand as he turns into the parking lot of the airport. Their dingy old car clunking on the concrete as they finally reach a parking spot. Wayne takes one last drag of the cigarette as Vanessa just stares at him with a smile.
“I don't know why I’m so excited about this..,” she said softly, as she opened her door, “I just hope to God he knows what he’s doing.”
The married couple have now exited their vehicle. Vanessa with a smile on her face as Wayne follows his wife into the airport. Now, one might expect them to be there to greet their daughter Scarlett, but they were now embarked on a new mission.
“You did find this guy on a site called Wrestlers Exchange,” Wayne busted out sarcastically, “How do you know this guy isn't some kind of creep?”
“You could be a lot more confident in the decisions I make, you know?”
“That's not that I'm not, but I’ve never heard of him before this trip.”
“Wayne, I checked him out. He's legit: Former France National Champion, voted number three hundred and seventy eight in last year’s wrestling rankings. Along with the fact that he’s been touring Japan the past few years, this kid will go places.”
Wayne looked at his lovely companion with a smile as Vanessa continued to go down the list of the French wrestler’s accolades.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” Vanessa questioned as she turned her head back toward Wayne.
“I love you.” Wayne smiled as he leaned over and kissed his wife on the forehead.
Wayne and Vanessa had now installed into the waiting area of the airport, several family members, friends and colleagues await the arrivals of planes. Wayne had delved into a book as Vanessa anxiously awaits this French wrestler.
“I hope we can help him. He just seems so determined to make something of himself.”
Wayne looked up from his book to Vanessa.
"Well, he’ll need help transitioning to our style. The French style is different than the American style. You know this.”
“I know...”
“And if anything, he’ll need a place to stay and train.”
“And you sure you’re alright with a virtual stranger coming and staying at our house?” Vanessa asked her chum.
"Are you having second thoughts?"
"No, I just want to make sure you in this as much as I am."
Wayne nodded his head in favor of letting this unknown stay, his eyes fixating on the book once again.
“I knew you’d understand.” ________________________________________
“Arrival 697 from Paris, France has now landed. I repeat, Arrival 697 from Paris, France has now landed.”
The heavy doors of the airport terminal let in a rush of fresh air as the passengers aboard Arrival 697 made their way to America. Most of them being your typical Frenchmen and Frenchwomen: with moustaches on all of them and flies roaming around.
“You got a way to identify him?” Wayne asked his wife, who was trying to pull up a bio on her phone.
“I’m trying, but there are no pictures of him without the mask on. Living the gimmick.”
Wayne and Vanessa both pulled out their cellphones to try and find a match of their new trainee. Nothing but extravagant pictures of the masked luchadore in brightly colored outfits soaring through the air tends to show up.
“This can’t be him?!?” Wayne looked with disgust on his phone. “I can tell he hasn’t mastered the small package yet.”
“That must’ve been one hell of a baguette commercial” Vanessa chimed in.
“That’s enough of this,” Wayne shut off his phone and slid it back into his pocket, fully knowing Vanessa will be going to search a certain baguette commercial online later tonight, “Why don’t we just ask?”
Suddenly a very small man with tiny glasses comes out of the terminal. He sports a very thin moustache and can’t be a day over twenty three. He checks his watch before approaching the couple.
“Is this Pheonix?” The man said with his very thick French accent.
“Yeah,” Wayne dismissed him quickly; he didn’t have time for these pencil necked geeks.
The scrawny French man once again turned his attention to the couple, extending his hand.
“Ah, je suis Jean-Marc. Translator for the wonderful Pepe le Plucha. It’ll be an honor to live in the same house as you Pheonix. And you must be Wayne.”
Wayne accepted the handshake as he nudged Vanessa in the arm.
“Where is this Pepe guy?” Wayne asked, “You got yourself a room at a hotel, JM?”
“That silly Pepe, he didn’t tell you? We will both be staying at your house. Don’t worry I’m an excellent chef.” Jean-Marc winked towards Wayne, “I do like me some baguettes.”
Suddenly, the aisle way cleared itself as a very muscular man emerged. Dressed in full on wrestling gear, his mask appeared to be made out of a thousand different materials. His colorful tights bedazzled its way into the room, forcing every single person’s attention on him.
The man approached Vanessa and took her hand as she brought it up to his mouth and planted a gentle kiss.
“Bonjour, jolie femme, je m’appelle Pepe.” His accent was a very romantic and thick French one.
Pepe le Plucha then made his way over towards Wayne and caressed him gently. He went cheek to cheek as he planted a gentle kiss onto his scruffy beard.
“Donc, nous s’en vont à notre maison?”
Pepe chuckled in his Frenchmen way, as Jean-Marc closely followed him. Wayne turned his attention back to Vanessa, starstruck.
“What have we gotten ourselves into?”
“I don’t know, honey. But I got a craving for cheese all of a sudden.” ________________________________________
Bonjour world,
It is I, Jean-Marc, the official translator of the newest worldwide sensation that will sweep you off your feet: Pepe le Plucha. And boy oh boy, does Pepe have some choice words for mister Justin Tyger.
Pepe tends to go on long-winded tangents while cooking and while working out on the treadmill. Sometimes while cooking on the treadmill, but for the benefit of all of you wonderful WFWF fans reading: I get to recap them for you. :)
First off, Justin Tyger is a giant piece of garbage. According to Pepe, his breath smells just as bad as his wrestling skills do. That’s not good. From where I come from, wrestling skills are extremement important.
In the underground France scene, you either wrestle like a god, or you’re trapped with eleven men in a ver stinky winery in the middle of nowhere. I was once there. But Pepe came along and saved my wrestling career by training me.
He’s amazing. :)
Anyways, Pepe said that this National Championship tournament already has his name placed as the victor. To beat the man, you got to beat the man. Or was it something about beats? I heard they got sold to Pomme.
I’m sorry for lack of detail, I got lost in Pepe’s eyes while he was cooking. Underneath that mask is a wonderful set of eyes. And they just sweep you off your feet. Man, is he amazing. :)
I can’t wait to see what you guys think about Pepe’s debut this week. I sure won’t miss it.
Goodnight folks. (That’s a word I learned here in America. ;) ) |

OOC: Yeah, this was short I know. But I saw what the turn out was looking like, plus I had the first scene written up already from an RP I was going to do last show. Anyways, this was bad, but I liked it for what it is. And a big thanks to Mike for letting me incorporate Pepe into his world of  ing awesome. |

Pretty cool piece. The only thing I am going to pick out is the length. I liked it for the most part.
I liked it man. It's better than nothing!

The length is something that was out of my control, I'm swamped with schoolwork. And playing football tomorrow. I just didn't want more posts about how bad the turnout is when times have been much worse turn out wise. |

Hopefully everyone will have much more time soon! |

I was extremely confused at the beginning. I was confused who Wayne and Vanessa were, and why they were important to the RP. This RP is interesting to say the least, I can see it was rushed and easily no where near your best work. I know nothing about Pepe, except he's French, and his translator likes Baguettes. The jokes weren't funny at all to me, come on "I do like me some baguettes.” And yeah. It's hard to judge the bare minimum and I really hope you can start trying again. Anyways this RP wasn't too good.

I hope this character is going to be slightly more than "Haw haw haw hee hee hee oui oui" and all that. I have a certain expectation when it comes to French caricature though. Check out Garth Ennis' "The Boys", in particular, The Frenchman. He's awful and amazing.
And Dex...tsk tsk tsk. Wayne and Vanessa can only be one couple around these parts.

comedy roleplays can be hard to do, especially quirky comedy. Everyone's sense of humor is different and some of the funniest people have really twisted senses of humor. I know when we were doing Los Hobos, most of the stuff we were doing was just to amuse Percy and I, and later Thunder. If it succeeded, great. If it didn't, well, at least we made a joke that made us laugh and we can carry on like idiots that we actually brought this silly joke to a public forum. Just know with a comedy character you're never going to be a top star and it's going to be extremely hard to build anything FROM a comedy character beyond comedy feuds. If you're okay with that, continue this character as a side thing. If not, maybe reconsider and focus all of your creative energy on one project

Why they are important is actually written in the roleplay himself. And as Schneider said, hopefully you know him as Obo, comedy pieces entertain different kinds of people. |

I'm critiquing it from my point of view, I didn't like the comedy. I never said that someone may or may not enjoy it. I just didn't really enjoy the fact that we know nothing of your character, and your debut piece really needed to be centered around him rather than side-characters who help progress the story. |

Eh, to each their own then. I thought it kinda stated that not much is known about Pepe in the piece, which would be where future RPs would go. But whateves, right? |

Sh*t, Dex. You would have hated the first David Brennan rp - probably the first several.
David Brennan RP 1: Brennan cuts his hair.
David Brennan RP 2: Brennan meets his dad (o noes, side character!1)
David Brennan RP 3: Brennan's truck breaks down.

Why didn't his translator, you know, translate what he was saying...?
It's meant as a comedy piece, and I didn't find any of it funny, so from that perspective it didn't work. But it's early days in terms of the character being introduced, and as you say you've had time issues. I hope Pepe's involvement with Wayne and Vanessa, with Mike's guidance I assume, can throw up a lot of interesting and amusing scenarios. I'm going to reserve judgement on whether I think this character is a good idea for the moment.
