HOST WRTR Del: (Randolph) ::lowers his voice:: but if you ever want to try the ice
HOST WRTR Del: cream....just let me know.
Matthew Corben: ::is listening to the music, obviously waiting for someone::
Renesha Steel: ::Her smile gentle:: I will, thank you, Randy.
Renesha Steel: ::Looking over to Matthew:: How are you this eve, Mr. Corben?

Matthew Corben: Doing good.
Renesha Steel: I am glad to hear that.
Renesha Steel: I assume that work is keeping you busy?
HOST WRTR Del: (Mitzy) ::her fringed flapper dress swaying with every movement she
HOST WRTR Del: makes, the waitress flounces up to the bar::
Matthew Corben: I had quick game tonight, so I had some time to come over here in normal attire.
Renesha Steel: ::Smiling to Mitzy then looking back to Matthew::: It's nice
Renesha Steel: to see you again. I hope we see more of you in the future.
HOST WRTR Del: (Mitzy) ::quick bob of her head to Renesha before she calls out to Randolph::
Matthew Corben: Well, I got sent to the locker room because of a fight....I prefer ths club for nightlife, at least when I'm not on the ice or at the theater.
Renesha Steel: ::A delicate brow arches:: A fight? Were you injured in this fight?
HOST WRTR Del: (Mitzy) Randy DAndy, 4 banana daquiries, and two Screaming Mimis.
HOST WRTR Del: (Randolph) ::winces:: Hey Mitz, could ya just cut out the Dandy part? Randy's enough.
Matthew Corben: No, the Leaf's goon went after my goalie and I ended the fight. He ended up with a bloody lip, maybe a little more.
Renesha Steel: ::Puzzled:: Leaf's goon? This is the other team?
HOST WRTR Del: (Mitzy) You're a meanie. ::pouts:: It's a nickname. I love
HOST WRTR Del: nicknames. I'm gonna tattle on you.
HOST WRTR Del: (Mitzy) Where's Ms. D.? I'm gonna tell her all about her mean bartender. ::teasing::
Renesha Steel: ::Her chuckle soft as she glances to Mitzy:::
Matthew Corben: Yes, the Toronto Maple Leafs. He's tried to end my career and of at least one of my teammates. I've returne the favor at least once, failing unfortunately.
Matthew Corben: (returned)
Renesha Steel: Is there not more you can do to stop him? I mean besides fight?
HOST WRTR Del: (Randolph) She's off to a resort with Mr. Taggart. ::shrug:: Out of
HOST WRTR Del: the snow and cold. You're gonna have to tell someone else.
Matthew Corben: Well, there are other options but those result in 10+ game suspensions.
HOST WRTR Del: (Mitzy) ::pouts:: I'd go to a resort if somebody asked me.
Renesha Steel: ::A slight frown creases her brow for a moment:: If I
Renesha Steel: understand this correctly, to stop him you need to fight him?
HOST WRTR Del: (Randolph) ::grins as he sets the drinks onto Mitzy's tray:: Do you
HOST WRTR Del: have a supply of bikinis?
HOST WRTR Del: (Mitzy) No, but I could get them. ::wrinkles her nose at Randy
HOST WRTR Del: before picking up the tray and flouncing off to serve the drinks::
Renesha Steel: ::A teasing smile over to Randy:: It is a good thing Tandie wasn't here to hear that.
HOST WRTR Del: (Randolph) ::grins at the boss lady:: Eh, well. I just know Ms. D.
HOST WRTR Del: mentioned taking a supply of bikinis along.
Matthew Corben: He has taken a personal dislike to me. I think he'd try to fight me off the ice, if he had the chance.
Renesha Steel: ::Her laugh like a melody as she nods to Randy, looking back to Matthew:::
Renesha Steel: Are you allowed to fight on the ice?
HOST WRTR Del: (Randolph) ::grins at Matthew::
Matthew Corben: Not really, but it has it's purposes.
Renesha Steel: Could you not trip him in a way that would not be known
Renesha Steel: and have his nose connect with your knee for example? I
Renesha Steel: would think enough of those and he would learn to leave
Renesha Steel: you alone.

Matthew Corben: Among the highest purposes is to protect your teammates. Other times, it could be to try to energize my team. I wish he would try to leave me and my teammates alone.
Matthew Corben: That way we could both play more games a year.
HOST WRTR Del: (Randolph) Good games, too.
Renesha Steel: Have you tried talking with him, away from the ice?
Renesha Steel: Perhaps bring him here for some drinks and actually speak
Renesha Steel: with him?
Matthew Corben: Last year, he lost 12 games and I lost 10 for incidents against each other.
HOST WRTR Del: (Randolph) And bring along your hockey stick if he needs to be
HOST WRTR Del: bonked on the head. ::snicker::
Renesha Steel: ::A slight smile to Randy:: We do not need hockey sticks in here.
HOST WRTR Del: (Randolph) Hey, they're Mr. C's weapon of choice. Right Mr. C.?
Matthew Corben: I've tried, but I always get ignored. Randolph, on the ice, yes, off the ice I prefer natural weapons.
HOST WRTR Del: (Randolph) Fists? ::perking right up::
Renesha Steel: What if he were invited to one of our special events? Do
Renesha Steel: you think he may come then and speak with you?
Renesha Steel: ::A small frown at Randy::
Matthew Corben: ::nods to Randy:: I think he resents the fact that his teammate used to be the best player in the league, and wants to return that status.
HOST WRTR Del: (Randolph) ::coughs, and industriously wipes down the bar::
Renesha Steel: And this teammate is?
Matthew Corben: Ironically, one of my better friends.
Renesha Steel: ::Softly:: I see. And this of course places you in a hard position.
OnlineHost: Nieran Skyshadow has entered the room.
Renesha Steel: ::Continuing in her soft voice:: Violence nor fighting always
Renesha Steel: is the way to handle a problem, Randy. Sometimes it can
Renesha Steel: make it worse or someone may lose their life.
Matthew Corben: Yes. His teammate used to win he scoring title by 20 points a year. His production has gone up, yet I still win scoring titles by 40-50 points a season.
HOST WRTR Del: (Randolph) But it's hockey. ::that should explain everything::
Renesha Steel: That is one of the main things you learn as a warrior. You pick your fights.
OnlineHost: Nieran Skyshadow has left the room.
HOST WRTR Del: (Randolph) ::figures he'd better shush before the boss lady says anything more to him::
Renesha Steel: So, this other player is angry at you because you are better then him?
HOST WRTR Del: (Randolph) ::moves down the bar to wait on other customers and
HOST WRTR Del: keep himself out of trouble::
Matthew Corben: Randolph, believe it or not, I try not to get into fights o the ice. At the same time, I'm the biggest guy on my team and need to protect myself and my teammates.
HOST WRTR Del: (Randolph) ::gives a pseudo salute to Mr. C., then pours a couple of
HOST WRTR Del: beers for other customers::
Renesha Steel: ::A slight frown of concentration creases a brow as she sips her coffee:::
Matthew Corben: Renesha, basically. He's tried everything he knows to end my career, yet failed.
Renesha Steel: ::Nodding to Matthew as she sets the cup down:: He
Renesha Steel: sounds like some I have come to know in my life time. If he
Renesha Steel: is this concentrated on being better then you and using any
Renesha Steel: means he can to do so, you've only really one choice.
Matthew Corben: I know other tricks to use on him, but I get yelled at enough for the penalty minutes and suspensions I pick up for my current tactics.
Matthew Corben: My coaches point to my playoff performance and wonder why I can't do that in the regular season.
Renesha Steel: You do not play his game, Mr. Corben. You force him to play yours.

Matthew Corben: I do my best, but his actions tonight made me fight him. I know he had a bloody lip and probably a black eye.
Renesha Steel: Mr. Corben, no one can force you to fight but yourself. He
Renesha Steel: is goading you into this it would seem.
HOST WRTR Del: (Randolph) ::grins to himself and nods approvingly, from a safe
HOST WRTR Del: distance at the other end of the bar::
Matthew Corben: Ironically, he'll likely get suspended for intending to injure my goalie and I hopefully will just get the penalty minutes.
Renesha Steel: ::Her smile soft and slightly embarassed:: I do apologize,
Renesha Steel: Mr. Corben. I fear my life as a warrior sometimes makes
Renesha Steel: me give advise that is not asked for.
Matthew Corben: Actually, I refuse to drop my gloves in a fight.
Renesha Steel: ::Smiles:: I respect you for that.
Matthew Corben: I have personal reasons for it, yet many people respect that move.
HOST WRTR Del: (Mitzy) ::bounces up to the bar just in time to hear the last few comments::
HOST WRTR Del: (Mitzy) I'd pick up your gloves for you. ::bats her eyes at the hockey champ::
Renesha Steel: You are a true warrior with honor in your actions, Mr. Corben.
Renesha Steel: ::Her groan hidden by the soft chuckle at Mitzy's words:::
HOST WRTR Del: (Randolph) ::mutters under his breath as he looks at Mitzy:: Airhead.
Renesha Steel: ::Her laughter bubbles across her lips:: Randy!
HOST WRTR Del: (Mitzy) ::makes a face at Randy:: I'm gonna tell, I'm gonna tell.
HOST WRTR Del: (Randolph) ::rolls his eyes::
Matthew Corben: ::pours himself aother glass of wine, smiling at the comments between Randy and Mitzy::
Renesha Steel: ::Her cough delicate to Mitzy:::Tell who, what Mitzy? ::Her
Renesha Steel: smile showing she's not serious:::
HOST WRTR Del: (Mitzy) I'm gonna tell on Randy calling me names. ::pouty::
