January 27th, 2021 RP Deadline: January 21st at 11:59PMET "Caveat Emptor"
Main Event Non-Title Clash Natalie Burrows vs. Vodka Fizz Sparks may fly in more than one way as the World and SPARK champions have a tête-à-tête. Who will come out on top?
Clash of the Titans Hank Sokolov vs. Edward Zepp In a battle that could best be described as "meat slapping meat", FIRESIDE's two literal biggest wrestlers will take on each other! Can Sokolov win his debut, and can Zepp rebound from his PPV loss?
A Brutal Battle Donzig vs. Evan Valentine Jr. These two spilled a lot of bad blood in the hype-up period for this match. Who's gonna take the victory?
An Open Challenge? Sam Sawyer vs. Ace Sky No one stepped up to Sam Sawyer's challenge, but will the newcomer be able to stop them?
Fighting the Boss Johnny Five (w/Misha Constantine) vs. Anthony Caffrey Has the world gone mad? After winning the X-Crown championship for a second time, Misha Constantine has challenged the boss to a match -- -- against his bodyguard, Johnny Five. Will Five regret his champion potentially biting off more than he can chew?
A Special Announcement FIRESIDE Tag Team Champions El BANG! Hermanos
Rest of the Card Decided by You!
- Reply with a small promo/segment/bit THAT WILL BE IN CHARACTER (X challenges Y, Y accepts) - Everyone has the right to say "no" as this is collaborative/competitive, don't be discouraged if your first shot gets turned down - Champions have the night off (unless they WANT to get involved, as seen above) - The whole active FIRESIDE roster is fair game - Capping the card at 6 matches or less - You can do a stipulation, but no on-fire-table-of-death matches please - The deadline to make matches will be on January 17th at 11:59pm -- will update the card afterwards
SEND SPOTS! Hi! Spots and segments should be sent to Vodka Fizz (Strych) and I via PM here or DM on Discord. We would love to help your character standout, and spots/segments are how we can do it.
• Pre-match: interviews/special segments (ex: backstage shenanigans, debuting segments, etc.) • Mid-match spots: during your match, cool/fun ideas that spotlight your character (ex: 'I have this fun idea where my character taunts the crowd, can they hit this cool move, can I use this weapon) • Post-match spots: these are admittedly rare, but as long as they don’t bury the match or the match result
PLEASE NOTE: CONSULT OUR FORMATTING GUIDE IF YOU'RE SUBMITTING A SEGMENT. CAN'T FIND IT? MESSAGE US! MAKE SURE ALL SPOTS ARE SENT TO BOTH VODKA FIZZ AND ANTHONY CAFFREY!
These are opportunities to make your character look so cool! Some of you take advantage of this every week, others not so much! This helps you get over and helps me write your matches. Please ask if you have questions.
Please note not all spots will make it into the show due to various constraints. Spots submitted earlier rather than later will usually be given preference.
Quickfire Bonus We really hate ties/draws in FIRESIDE. Going forward, any tie/draw will be broken with the advantage going to whoever posted their RP first. Please note this is only for ties/draws, and we will be aware of any shenanigans.
FIRESIDE RP Limits:
Agree to Your Limit!
How To Agree to Your RP Limit:
Post below! Come up with some terms that you and your opponents can agree on.
• Word count limit • Number of RPs • If there’s a special format compared to regular RPing
Once you agree, have someone write out the terms, then write /s CHARACTER NAME /s. The opponent should also write /s CHARACTER NAME /s in a reply.
It's like writing a contract, but please, no in-characters barbs here. Save it for the roleplays.
If you can’t agree, there’s two options:
1) Agree to Disagree: All wrestlers have unlimited word counts over 2 RPs. Competitors are advised to not drive themselves crazy. 2) Advantage/Disadvantage: Agree to terms that are unfavorable to you and give the opponent disadvantage. Your opponent has to clearly beat you to win.
Please be aware: if you do not communicate in advance to both me and your opponent that you're going to end up sandbagging (RPing very close to an established deadline, like the day of), there will be a penalty.
Please do not clog the thread. If it takes more than four posts to come to an agreement, please move to PMs.
Once all parties agree, get RPing! Your time starts then and ends at the Friday deadline.

Hank Sokolov wishes to challenge any and all takers. 1 RP. 3000-5000 word territory. He has a lot to say for his first outing.
*Glares intensely at Edward Zepp in particular*

Hank Sokolov wishes to challenge any and all takers. 1 RP. 3000-5000 word territory. He has a lot to say for his first outing. *Glares intensely at Edward Zepp in particular* The face of Edward Zepp blips into view from a laptop webcam. It appears to be morning, and he seems grumpy, which is to say this is the default setting of Zepp's visage. He sips from a giant cup of tea as his eyes catch the challenge before him. He exhales almost in a snort, and somehow he looks even grumpier. His eyes jump around to different tabs, gaining a quick intro into who is Hank Sokolov. Ed's demeanor pivots suddenly as he looks off-camera, and he gestures that the tea is delicious as he takes another sip. Back to the screen, and Zepp glares again, annoyed. He laughs under his breath, and after a long pause finally states: "Yeah. You got it."

"Excellent", he rumbles. s/ Edward Zepp /s

Attention: your God is speaking.
The reigning, defending, two time X*Crown champion Misha Constantine sits once more upon his throne in the X*Crown vault. Clad in an all black suit ensemble, he has a new title belt secured across his chest; gold plates encrusted with purple jewels upon a purple strap.
I'm a busy deity so I'll keep this brief. I am not naive enough to expect any thanks for preventing Spike Kane taking the X*Crown away to that farce of a promotion GUNS, but you are all welcome regardless. Especially you, Anthony Caffrey.
Misha leans forward, cruel smirk on his face.
Tell me Anthony, does it hurt that once again your schemes fell flat and you were reliant on me to save some tiny shred of your dignity? To the surprise of no-one, MYOJIN failed you and you were shown up once again by Curtis Kanyon. I took Team BANG!'s greatest prize from them, but you couldn't manage to get your FIRESIDE tag titles back.
He tuts chidingly, wagging a finger. Then he settles back, luxuriant in his smug sense of superiority
Now, given I proved the doubters wrong and reclaimed my throne, I feel like indulging myself and kicking you while you're down. After all, what are you going to do about it? Fire me? Your top talent?
Misha snorts derisively at the idea.
Not that I intend to waste my energy wrestling before my X*Crown defense at Supremacy, of course. No, the challenge is you versus Johnny Five. It'll amuse me to watch him throw you around then drop you on your head.
Maybe then you'll finally understand who's really in charge around here...

Maybe then you'll finally understand who's really in charge around here... “Still me, Misha.”
We see the FIRESIDE owner, nursing a big old bag of ice as he tends to his injuries, as he leans over his desk.
"Friends don't let friends sign death warrants for each other, but hey... Five has never been the sharpest tool in the shed. You want me to fuck up your buddy, your insurance policy, just a few days before you step inside a hellacious carnival of a match at Supremacy? I'd be happy to oblige."
There is a small smile on his face.
"Oh Misha, I guess I do owe you a thank you -- so instead of severely injuring your associate, instead I'll just knock him out or hobble him. You can collect his dumb ass all the same as the crowd cheers and Stanford announces my name, but hey, could be worse."
The owner sets the ice down.
"I'll see you both on the 27th."
The camera cuts.

My client, Sam Sawyer, will of course expect to have a match at Caveat Emptor. They've shown no intent to make a challenge personally, so it looks like they're leaving it up to me.
While I would love to see Sam get another shot at Evan Valentine or Rebecca Brookes... I don't think that's what they want. They want more.
Given the rare opportunity to ask for whatever match they want, they wouldn't waste it. What they want is obvious:
As many of you as possible. I'm issuing an open invitation to everyone to join Sam in a free-for-all. Elimination rules if that's practical. Your chances of getting left by the wayside, or lost in the shuffle, are high. The weakest will wish they'd picked something different. But the reward is big: overcoming two, three, four, or more wrestlers in one night. Sam for one undoubtedly thinks that's worth the risk.

(DJ Bawk Bawk, Terry Taylor's son is cutting up on the wheels of steel in Evan Valentine Jr.'s driveway. Evan is doing pull ups while his cousins Lance and Brian are playing basketball poorly)
DJ Bawk Bawk plays the Deep Cover instrumental where he splices in "Yeah and ya don't stop, cause it's 187 on a motherfuckin-"
Evan Valentine Jr.: (does a pull up) Donzig.
DJ Bawk Bawk lets it spin again, "Yeah and ya don't stop, cause it's 187 on a motherfuckin-"
Evan Valentine Jr.: (does a pull up) Donzig.
(Evan drops to his feet and walks toward the camera, Lance Valentine Jr. dribbles the basketball while Brian Valentine Jr. covers him. Without looking, Evan smacks the ball out of Lance's hands, forcing him to chase after it)
Evan Valentine Jr.: Psst. Quit lookin, pervs. (puts his shirt back on) Anyways, I was sort of hopin Caffrey could rent Donzig long enough to me to teach him some manners, I'd consider it a solid. And Caff could go far with a favor from me in his back pocket.
Lance Valentine Jr.: You still owe me a favor for using my pee for the Wellness tests.
Evan Valentine Jr.: Bro, your favor is I let you stay here.
Brian Valentine Jr.: But we're your cousins. Your Mom said we can live here till we get over.
Evan Valentine Jr.: And how long is that gonna be?? Look, I can appreciate that Donzig is crazy in the coconut. But I don't appreciate Donzig not shaking my hand when he gets to the building. I don't appreciate Donzig not waiting for me to shower so I get the hot water. But I can forgive that shit, cause dude is green. But you start talkin bout my Pops? You think just cause you do it on regional TV, it ain't gonna get back to me? Yo, bad form, homey. It's time Fireside's Locker Room Leader puts you in your place.
Lance Valentine Jr.: Mental institution?
Evan Valentine Jr.: He don't have no insurance, dude. I was thinking PPV pre-show. So what it be, Donny?
DJ Bawk Bawk starts cutting up "Hanging Tough" by New Kids on the Block, "Listen up everybody if you're gonna take a ch-ch-chance..."

A few flickers and lines of pixelations, and then the scene resolves to the image of Donzig reclining on his carved wooden chair, the Death Squad flanking him on either side as his chin rests on his hand. The masked visage staring at the camera, and Sinclair Godfrey steps forward with a shake of her head before she lifts her arms absently before letting them fall as she clears her throat. A glance over her shoulder, and Donzig gestures absently.
'Evan, Evan, Evan. Great Donzig says you are a disgrace to the Valentine name, which is frankly amazing to him. Out of an entitled cesspool of degeneracy and trash, of a bloodline of wrestling trash, somehow, some way you are the worst. An entitled, spoiled, over-indulged man child of low character!' Sinclair paused, and flashed her slightly crazed smile as Donzig hissed to himself.
'Donzig has won more titles, and wrestled longer then you have been doing whatever it is you do. And he finds your challenge? Unacceptable and tiresome.' Sinclair shrugged, and her hand lifted to brush back her hair as her head tilted. The Death Squad nodded grimly as they remained at Donzig's side, and he wiped a hand across the mouth of his mask as he shifted forward.
'You presume to call upon the Scourge? To demand he face you? To suggest Caffrey can rent him for your amusement?' Sinclair sniffed. 'Donzig knows you're a--'
Her hands lifted, making mocking air quotes.
'--former X-Crown Champion. But you are not worthy to share the ring with Great Donzig, Evan. We will have to decline, maybe if your old man could rouse himself to offer a challenge? Maybe that would be something, but--'
Sinclair shrugged, snorting a laugh.
(To be Continued....)
