Calvin Lee: drink it up..

[Calvin]

RING RING! The phone rings in this rather nicely furnished home. The women runs from the kitchen, and grabs the cordless phone. She picks it up, and looks at the number. It’s not familiar, so she takes her time to answer, not knowing what to expect.


Brittney: ..hello?


Calvin Lee: Hey! Can I speak to Brittney?


Brittney: Speaking.


Calvin Lee: Hey its Calvin! How are ya?


Brittney: Pretty good, how are you?


The women sits down on the couch next to the light stand. She lays down, and relaxes while still talking on the phone.


Calvin Lee: I’m doing great now! What are you up to?


Brittney: Nothing really, I’m just getting supper on the go. It’s in the oven. Having some pork chops.


Calvin Lee: Sounds good. It’s funny you mention supper, because that’s kinda why I phoned.


Brittney: Oh really?


The excitement in her voice rises slightly as a smile comes across her face.


Calvin Lee: Yep.


Brittney: Is that so?


Calvin Lee: Of course. I was wondering what you were doing next Wednesday.


Brittney: I have nothing planned, but why so late?


Calvin Lee: Oh, because I have a lot of work to do this week, so I’m not free until next Wednesday. I hope that’s not a problem.


Brittney: Oh no it’s not.


Calvin Lee: Oh good!


A smile is shown on Calvin Lee’s face, on the other line.


Brittney: Well I’m free next Wednesday. Where shall we eat?


Calvin Lee: We can figure that out another time.


Brittney: Ok, that sounds like a plan.


Just then a buzzer goes off in the kitchen.


Brittney: Oh I have to go. Supper is ready. I’ll talk to you later?


Calvin Lee: Okay, I’ll phone you sometime later on this week and we can work out the dinner plans.


Brittney: Ok, deal. I’ll talk to you then. Bye!


Calvin Lee: Bye.


With that, the two of them hang up.

*************************

Man, life can’t get any better right now. Everything is going so great. I’m at my prime in the WFWF, and I have a date. I don’t think I’ve ever had my life go so perfect in and out of the WFWF. It feels just great. I feel so good. I want to celebrate. There isn’t a thing in this world that is going to tear this apart on me. Not Obo, not Thunder, not Possessed Child, not Trace Demon, and especially not Luther. He’s trying to take me down. He won’t be able to however. He’ll fail. I don’t understand why he has to be so damn negative about this whole deal. But that’s his problem not mine. If he can’t deal with me being on top, then he’s not who I thought he was.

Now who should I call to celebrate with. I guess I should get a hold of Luther. Even though all he’s going to do is bitch at me. But I guess I have to. As we do have to get ready for this weeks match. Even though I’ll crush them easily…

*************************

Shortly after the phone call, Calvin Lee and Luther Castle agreed to meet at the local bar. Calvin drives there in no time, and goes inside. He sits down at a table, and orders a beer. He awaits Luther to show up. While waiting, he decides to scan the bar. With the heavy grungy tune of “Man in the Box” by Alice in Chains playing in the background, it hints this bar is not all too popular. Infact, there is maybe ten people. Most are sitting at stools in front of the bar set. The road signs and pictures on the wall are rather dusty. Someone should think about cleaning them up. Or maybe the whole place for that matter.

Calvin hears the door open. It’s Luther. He walks in, and sees Calvin sitting at the table. Luther walks over, before calling for a beer. He sits down.


Luther Castle: Hey.


Calvin Lee: Hey man, thanks for coming.


Luther Castle: No problem, I figured you would want to talk about our match this week.


Calvin Lee: Hell no, I brought you here to celebrate. We don’t have to worry about this week. I’ll crush them.. I mean, we’ll crush them. Easily.


Luther Castle: Yeah but it’s always a good idea to prepare anyways.


Calvin Lee: You can if you want. I don’t need to. I’m more then ready already did.


Luther Castle: Oh.


Calvin Lee: Well think of it like this. I just faced Obo for the title. Possessed Child hasn’t done that. I don’t even know where Trace Demon came from. Either way, I can take them.


Luther Castle: So you’re saying I can’t?


Calvin Lee: I never said that.


Luther Castle: But you’re assuming?


Calvin Lee: No? Dammit who cares. Lets just drink and have fun tonight.

With that Calvin downs his beer. He slams the glass down, and hollers for another. Luther, kinda frustrated, looks on.


Luther Castle: Ok. Lets celebrate. And after we beat Possessed and Trace, we can celebrate too on Wednesday.


Calvin Lee: Oh yes, about that…


Luther Castle: What?


Calvin Lee: I’m kinda busy.


Luther Castle: Oh.


Calvin Lee: I have a date, didn’t I tell ya?


Luther Castle: Not that I remember.


Calvin Lee: Man, I do. Life is so great. WFWF is going awesome. I have this date, I mean, what could possibly go wrong?


Luther Castle: Well, you did lose last week.


Calvin Lee: I did, but you see, that’s where it’s so great. I have the battle royal to prove that I’m good enough. I’m gonna main event Super Brawl V. That’s better then beating Obo.


Luther Castle: I suppose that’s a good point.


Calvin Lee: Sure is. I’m gonna main event Super Brawl and become world champion in the same night! And while doing this I’ll be dating this very good looking girl I just met. What a perfect life for Calvin Lee.


Luther Castle: Oh yes, so perfect..


Calvin Lee: Yes, so drink up!


The two start to drink more and more. Soon it’s to the point where they can’t remember anything anymore..

Well, when you get inspired, this comes out. I'm doing another, I hope, on Luther's side. So dont' think this is my only rp for the week. The reason why it seems like it ended so fast is well, they dont' remember anything after that due to drinking. Hah, so you really can't post that..

Anywho, I kinda like how this came out angle wise. The Luther part will relate to this. So if you read this, it's best to read the Luther one too when I get it out.

Pretty good pretty good. I like how your style differs from mine, in the way of, I keep most of mine in description and thoughts and yours is more of words and conversation. I think this really gave a good look into what Calvin really has going on and I will def. be checking out what Luther has going on. Though I love the convo's and feel you do quite a bit with them. I do think that a bit more description could make me see the rp a little better. BUT other then that I think this one was pretty good, def. check out the other.

The best thing about the Calvin Lee character is how he wears his emotions on his sleeves. You expect him to start skipping around his house when he's happy. It's pretty bad ass.

The awkwardness of the phone call was cool, and Luther Castle trying to play the straight man was a nice progression for him. You've been gradually improving the Castle character in the last few weeks. It'll be nice to see where you take it.

[Kurt Burton: Script Doctor!]

I definately feel this is a step up. Both conversations sounded right... the description painted the picture, and there was some good character development for Luther.

My only gripe... the transition. It came off forced. But I did like the blurb inside Lee's head. Overall, nicely done.

[CBT]

Surprisingly, no lie, your roleplays are always the first I read but I barely ever get the chance... scratch that, I barely make the time to reply to them. That said, I gotta steal E's response. Because, I love how Lee can respond however the hell he chooses to and it does nothing to hurt his character.

One week you could honestly doubt yourself, to the point of depression. A few weeks later, with the right momentum, you can be on top of the world and it makes perfect sense in how down to earth and personable Lee can be.

Now some may say that this was brief or that it hardly acknowledged your opponents. But some, even I, make the mistake of either going to far out in a roleplay or bashing their opponent. Which does nothing when you need to make the victory credible. You had a nice medium in how Castle may have some trouble, but Lee's had success and will continue too.

Good job man as always, and good luck at S&S.
