SNF 2009.11 - SNF: Public Intoxication

Description: What happens when a drunken Shenwoo, Mike Bison and Hayato Nekketsu have a free for all on the roof of a trendy New York City bar? Spoiler: It involves PUNCHING. (Draw Match)



Hayato Nekketsu could not have asked for a better event to get signed up for. Fighting /and/ copious amounts of booze? The SNF staff is speaking his language! Bar 13 is a bit trendy for his tastes, but they've got plenty of alcohol so he's willing to give them a pass. Or at least, he would be if he was sober enough to follow through that whole train of thought. He's been at the bar for quite a while now, getting ready for the fight. And by this point he's pretty hammered.
As far as the staff can tell, Hayato seems to be in remarkably good shape for all the drinks he put away. His motor skills were at least still capable of getting him up the stairs to the roof for the fight, even if he's now wobbling a little bit as he stands by waiting for the fight to begin. The way he knocks back yet another shot (he took one for the road) probably doesn't help matters much.

Recreational drinking is all well and good - Shenwoo has been known to get totally blasted, on occasion, a perk of a lifestyle where virtually all of your income is disposeable - but there's something it cannot possibly compare to, for him: Fighting.

Battle is his raison d'etre, the clash of strength against strength. In comparison to that, well, hanging out in a bar might as well not even register. Besides that, the sort of fights you normally get into with drunks just aren't entertaining, there's seldom any challenge involved. Tonight, however, might prove to be different.

As such, the God of Battle is already up on the roof, having been there waiting for things to get started. As always, he forgoes doing up his shirt - even in November - and as always he looks eager to get started, almost psychotically so, with a wild light in his eyes and his mouth pulled into a wide grin of anticipation. The SNF crew is, predicatbly, avoiding the /hell/ out of him.

"Ohhh," says Shen as Hayato arrives on the rooftop, noticing that the other man is a bit unsteady, his manner almost immediately challenging and threatening. "What's the matter, needed a little liquid courage, huh?"

Sheeeeit. Do Bison and Hayato actually have something in common? The big black man's been at the bar, same as Hayato, though at the opposite end--boisterous by nature, this aspect of his personality is only /increased/ when he drinks. And boy howdy, has he been drinking--started with some beers, upgraded to shots of vodka, then rum, then Bacardi 151... and now, as the boxer staggers up to the rooftop, he's two-fisting it--a bottle of SoCo in the right, a bottle of the Cap'n in the left.

He's sluggin' shots like they were punch combos--one two, one two, one two three--and thouh his dark skin doesn't show the flush of alcohol, but clearly, the alcohol is staring to interfere with his boxer's reflexes. "Sh... sheeeit... I 'member you... freakin' gym teacher or some crap... didn' think you'd be the drinkin' type..." He stares, eyes going beady, as he remembers that fight... but he remembers it more for that talky ninja poof Seishirou...

And then he turns to Shenwoo. "An' you. I 'member you too..." Suddenly, the wobble's pretty much gone, and Bison's downing the last of the booze from his bottles, tossing the heavy glass to the side where it shatters against the rooftop. He wipes at his mouth with one big meaty hand. "Liquid courage, hell. I don' ever turn down a free drink... an' I'm still gonna break my fist off in your stomach!"

Hayato peers at Shenwoo through a drunken haze. It takes a few moments, but eventually he recognizes the brawler... and then Bison, too. That's good. It wouldn't do to accidentally start punching the wrong people. A witty rejoinder to Shenwoo's taunt is delayed in coming, but Bison takes care of that for him. "Yeah... what he said. Except, except... I don't think I want to break my fist. Nah." The teacher shakes his head a few times. "What was I saying?" One of the SNF staffers nudges him (because Hayato is rather less threatening than either of the other two men here to fight tonight) and whispers something to him. "Oh. Oh! Right."
The teacher puts his shot glass down with exaggerated care to make sure he doesn't drop it, leaving his hand free to hold his shinai instead. "Okay, who's ready to get their ass kicked?" He waves his shinai about wildly for a bit, then glances between Shenwoo and M.Bison. Or at least, two points in space that are in roughly the same locations as the two men.

Looking over towards M.Bison, Shenwoo furrows his brow, his eager-possibly-insane grin faltering for a moment into a thoughtful frown. "You do? Why, who the hell are you?" the blond, tattooed half-Chinese fighter wonders. Sometimes his memory for other people really isn't very good at all... And sometimes he just does it on purpose to taunt them. Which of the two is the case here, well, that's difficult to say, especially with the introduction of alcohol into the equation.

"Tch," Shen adds in an exasperated tone, waving his arm as if to dispel the whole subject. "Whatever, whatever. Doesn't matter. I didn't come here to run an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting or whatever. I came here to fight!!" His eagerness gets the better of him again, of course, and that wild look returns to his face as he looks from Bison to Hayato. Yes, Hayato. He's looking right at you. "So let's stop talking..."

Sudden movement, and Shenwoo surges towards the Burning Gym Teacher with fast, thudding steps as his long legs carry him across the rooftop 'ring' towards Hayato, though he does stumble on the third step.

Okay, so, yeah, he didn't turn down the free drinks either. Shut up!!

"...And FIGHT!!" Shen laughs wildly, with no greater goal in the universe than to headbutt Hayato's head right off.

"Hehhehehahahhah... damn SNF jerks fin'ly got one /right/!" It's the alcohol that lets him shrug off Shenwoo not 'remembering' him--really, that's it. His feelings aren't hurt at all! (Sniff.) When Shenwoo gets things going, hurling himself at Hayato cranially, Bison just watches with a wide, feral grin. This Shenwoo guy, man. If he didn't look like a fairy in his cheap shirts alla time, Bison could really like the guy!

But he's Bison, and he doesn't like anyone at all because his mother never loved him, and that is what set him on this whole chain of events and set him where he is now.

With Shen charging in at Hayato, it almost looks like Bison's going to follow suit--only he veers 'off course' a bit, drawing his left fist back and then sending that big hammerlike thing out--to try and punch Shenwoo in the back of the head. Probably he won't make it 'til after the blond Chinese dude assaults the teacher, but that's okay, he hasn't had a fight in a while and a drunken bar brawl is just the thing to get his blood up.

Hayato just stands and watches, blinking a few times, as Shenwoo charges toward him. There's probably something he should be doing here. What was it? Getting out of the way? Nah. While Hayato is pondering this, Shenwoo's head comes into contact with his face, causing Hayato's head to snap back as he staggers. Oh, right. /That's/ what he should be doing. But although he may be thinking slowly, it doesn't mean that Hayato's reaction times are slow once he figures out what he's doing. Even as he's staggering back his arm swings out in an arc armed to wrap around Shenwoo's neck.
If he manages to get a hold on the other man, Hayato tries to pull Shenwoo into a headlock. But not for anything boring like trying to choke him out. No, Hayato just wants a good grip on Shenwoo to force him to hold still for a bit, so that Hayato can take the opportunity to repeatedly drive his free hand into the God of Battle's gut. Wait, wasn't there another opponent around who might take advantage of that? Oh well, there's punching to be done, Hayato can think about that later.

If there's anything more likely to throw tactics to the wind and just do whatever looks like the most fun at the moment than a berserker, it's an inebriated berserker. Drunk on adrenaline and alcohol both, Shenwoo grins from ear to ear as his forehead impacts with Hayato's, staggering back only a little bit under the force of his own strike... Right into Bison's fist. The massive boxer's punch ploughs intot he back of the God of Battle's cranium, and makes him stumble /forward/, which probably isn't going to work out too well for him.

Also his skirts are /embroidered silk/, they are not /cheap/. Maybe a little fancy, though.

"Heh heh heh," chortles Shen as he's caught by Hayato's headlock, going along with the grab far, far too easily; even as Hayato then starts punching him in the gut, the berserker responds in semi-kind, driving his knee into Hayato's own gut about twice before he powers out of the headlock, stumbling back. "Ha ha ha ha!" he laughs, spitting up a gob of blood onto the ground. "/Now/ things are getting in... Interesting."

They're so fancy--hell, Bison can't even say it. He's briefly sated his desire to hit Shenwoo, and so he turns to Hayato. "You next, bud. Ain't no pers--who th' fuck 'm I kiddin'..." He lunges for the teacher, growling, looking to collar him with his left arm, squeezing, his voice going from 'moderately loud' to 'full on roar'.

"IT'S TOTALLY GODDAMN PERSONAL!!!" And then he is trying to punch Hayato right in the goddamn stomach, looking to reach his liver through his stomach. Whether or not he actually reaches the liver, he's then gonna turn and hurl Hayato at Shenwoo.

"GO GIVE 'IM A HUG!" he shouts, derisively, glowering at the Japanese teacher and the Chinese brawler. Shouldn't these guys be hatin' on each other right now?!? Goddamn history lessons, he never cared 'bout them.

Hayato doesn't actually feel Shenwoo's knee, at least at first. He's happily punching away when he eventually becomes aware of a thudding impact in his torso. And a moment later that it really kind of hurts. And then Shenwoo goes and manages to twist free of his grip. Hayato is about to express his displeasure with this, when Bison comes charging in toward him. What's coming next doesn't look very good, so Hayato doubles over, bringing his arms into place as a shield just before the boxer's fist slams into him. This is enough to stop his liver from being torn out, but it doesn't keep him from being lifted right up off the damn ground, giving Bison the leverage advantage he needs to hurl Hayato toward Shenwoo.
Of course, Hayato's not going to just leave without a fight, even if he's not actually leaving under his own power here. As Bison releases his grip to throw, Hayato swings a leg down, and as he's flying off toward Shenwoo the Burning Phys Ed Teacher kicks up sharply, aiming to catch Bison on the jaw as he flies off. How's he going to land in that position? Do you seriously think Hayato has thought that far ahead?

To be fair, Shenwoo isn't very cultural anyway.

"HEY!!" bellows the berserker, as Bison goes and gets involved - apparently he's either forgotten or didn't notice the shot to the head he got mere moments before - by manhandling Hayato. He was /fighting/ that guy! Feral grin pulling even wider, a mad light glinting in his slightly bleary eyes, the God of Battle turns his full attention on the Shadaloo boxer. "Fine, fine!!" he decides.

He gives his neck a roll, and may very well have forgotten about Hayato now, even though the teacher is going after the boxer himself. "You want some of this?! Try to make this fun for me!!" Shen rears back with his left fist and takes a pair of wobbly steps forward, and then suddenly his motion turns into a smooth lunge, twisting so that his left fist is thrown forward into his signature rushing punch, his unbuttoned shirt trailing behind him from the speed of his movement. "RAAAAGH!!"

Hayato's chin impacts Bison's chin, for sure. And his head snaps back. But thanks to the alcohol, Bison's muscles are a little more flexible than normal--he throws his head forward again, grinning wickedly.

Then his grin is mashed by Shenwoo's fist, and that does throw the big boxer back stumbling, going half-down--catching himself with a left palm on the rooftop. Takes him a moment to snap back up to a standing position, and while his gaze isn't any clearer, his anger is starting to burn through a bit. "Y'ain't got a bad punch... for a pansy lil' whiner!! C'MON!!" Arguably, he'd be like this anyways, but the drunkenness doesn't really help, now, does it? He's probably forgotten about Hayato for the moment, shouting at Shenwoo as he is.

Eventually Hayato hits the roof and rolls to a stop. After a moment he manages to sort out which way is up and which limbs are which, allowing him to climb back to his feet. And a moment after that the world in his vision stops wobbling about, at least mostly. His next action is pretty clear. He's supposed to be hitting people. Since Bison threw him toward Shenwoo, the God of Battle is now the closest person to him. Ergo, Shenwoo needs to be hit.
The teacher lurches forward, stumbling into an eventually even stride and raising his shinai high as he closes in on Shenwoo. And once he gets close enough, Hayato unleashes a fairly random series of slashes with the bamboo blade. He may or may not be actually aiming for specific parts of the body, but the end result still appears to be flailing either way. This doesn't make it much less painful to get hit by, however.

"Ha ha ha ha!" laughs Shenwoo, but it's not just his usual battle-crazed laughter; he's actually finding what just happened to Bison absolutely hilarious. Doubling over, the God of Battle holds his sides, shoulders shaking with mirth as he very nearly cries from laughing so hard. "Ha ha ha! T... The look on your face, ha ha! Aaaa ha ha ha ha! And you almost f... Fell down! That's great!" Shen is, in fact, so busy laughing that he doesn't even notice Hayato coming at him until the shinai smacks him right in the head.

"Ow!" says Shenwoo, straightening up as he gets hit again, and again. "Hey, stop that!" the brawler insists, sounding a bit irate. "I said quit it!" he bellows, finally, reaching out to try and grab Hayato by the shinai-smackin' arm and just upend him on the floor by main force. "You're gonna PISS ME OFF!!"

Oh hell no. No, no, no. Bison ain't playin' that game. Shenwoo, /laughing/ at him? Even being a drunk bastard, he ain't takin' that shit sittin' down. He bellows, in that oh so articulate and eloquent spittle-flying rage that he has, and he hurls himself at Shenwoo's position, heedless of Hayato's fate. It's what he does.

And as he goes, he's punching--not a single punch, but a barrage of heavy punches. Deadly shots all, aimed for the head, the stomach, whatever Bison can manage to target--but of course, he -is- pretty goddamn drunk, and that's going to factor in, isn't it? But if he -does- hit, well, if he /does/ hit, it's basically his specialty in life... hitting people. With his fists. Drunk or not.

Ah, now this is more like it. Freely slashing away at an opponent, smacking him around... Hayato is quite enjoying himself. At least up until Shenwoo's hand closes on his arm. He pulls back against Shenwoo's grip, but when the brawler really puts his back into it you have to do a lot more than that to stop him. Hayato goes flying up, and then comes slamming down as his arm is used to fling him around. And, unfortunately for the teacher, he gets slammed down right on top of the broken bottle that Bison tossed aside earlier, driving shards of broken glass into his back. "Argh! Damn it, ow!"
%Hayato rolls over, swiping at his back with his free hand and knocking aside glass as the blood starts to soak through the back of his track jacket. He climbs to his feet, and then with a low growl he spins around toward the other two men, fist flying before he even takes a look to see what the situation is. He's got no clue who he's going to end up taking a swing at, and he doesn't really care.

The fact that Hayato landed on the glass bottle just makes Shenwoo chortle again. He's not really that cruel, but he's tipsy and that's funny.

On the other hand, he's also got Mike Bison trying to punch him a lot; Shen sees the attack coming, and he tries to get out of the way, but for some reason he actually steps /into/ the first strike, and he ends up getting thoroughly punched, over and over again, his lean form shaking from every mighty blow. Bison's not one of the best boxers in the entire, like, universe for nothing.

Shenwoo just might be crazier than he is, though.

"Keh... Geh... Ha ha ha ha ha!" laughs Shenwoo again, and this time it's fully the battle madness, as he throws back his head and laughs, the laughter quickly turning into an echoing roar as a palpable surge of energy spreads from the blond man. Now a berserker in truth, the self-styled God of Battle bellows with wordless fury as he lashes out at Bison, swinging fists and feet and elbows and knees in a brutal barrage of strikes. Shenwoo keeps swinging even if he doesn't hit cleanly, fully intent on finishing the whole thing off with a last, thunderous headbutt, using every muscle in his body to swing his forehead into Bison's dome with shattering force and a bestial roar. "GRAAAAAAAAGH!!"

Now /that's/ intoxicating--beatin' hell out of some skinny dude. Reminds him of fightin' this French guy with a glass jaw... wait, maybe he was American? Don't matter. But then, well, then Bison gets his. Here comes Shenwoo, hellbent on payback--and he gets it, oh god, does he get his. A storm of elbows, knees, fists, kicks--Bison doesn't even try, he's too soused to put up that much of a defense. But the last impact, that thunderous headbutt--that wakes him up a little. Enough that he -feels- Hayato coming--

--and without restraint, without hesitation, spins around and >PLOWS< his right fist right into Hayato's mouth--he takes a pretty good shot across the jaw for it, but the turn, plus his own powerful punch, puts Hayato's fist out of alignment to do any real damage--it'll be a bad bruise, but nothing like the kind of punch Hayato just took. Bison roars, shouting something that sounds like, "EAT ME!!!" and he actually is sent almost to the edge of the fighting area before he can recover, turning around to survey the damage he's created.

Bison's fist meets Hayato's jaw, and the force is enough to spin Hayato around so far that his face ends up almost 180 degrees from where it was. And still Bison's fist keeps going, sending Hayato spinning off his feet and crashing to the ground in a heap. It's several moments before he manages to shove himself up, with a considerable amount of blood dripping from his mouth. He spits a few times to clear his mouth. Thankfully no teeth come along with the blood and saliva. And his head is really ringing now, between being drunk and taking a blow like that. But it's still not enough to put him down! "Thaff-" He spits. "That's a pretty nice punch ya got there."
Hayato offers Bison a bloodstained grin. "How do you like this one?!" And with that the teacher lunges toward the boxer, his right hand bursting into chi flames as he aims to drive a punch right into the center of Bison's face. After all, he can't just let something like that pass without a response!

Staggering back from the force of his own strike against Bison, Shenwoo stumbles, trips over his own feet, and ends up sitting on the floor. "Heh heh," he chuckles, breath heaving as he slowly comes down from the berserker battle high. "Ha ha ha." He watches, for just a few seconds, as Mike Bison and Hayato Nekketsu clash, with Bison's astounding punch and then Hayato's refusal to stop. The Burning Phys Ed Teacher just keeps on coming, and hey, Shen likes that. He digs the guy's style, in that at least.

Slowly, with a tottering step, the Shanghai brawler gets back to his feet.

"Hey, hey," the blond says, his attention focused directly on Hayato. "Don't give HIM all of the attention!" He steps back, and then forward, the pell-mell run of a man who isn't quite on his balance; suddenly, it turns into a lunge, and Shenwoo shows how fast he can move. Really fast.

So fast, he almost disappears.

Form blurring, Shen bears down on Hayato like a freight train or a cruise missile, his left fist thrown foward and a shockwave of pure force riding on it. M. Bison isn't the only one with an incredible punch, you know. "SHYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!"

That's a pretty good punch there, Mr. Hayato. But you're cheating. That chi crap. That's just cheating. Not that Bison's going to -tell- him that. Hell, he's not going to tell him much of anything--his jaw needs realignment. No, wait--Bison punches himself in the jaw, setting the joint with a sickening crunch.

And then he starts towards Hayato--the light in his eyes fierce, but fading fast. He doesn't even know he's out, that's the saddest part, as he puts what is the last of his energy into a single straight punch, yelling--but after the punch is done... he just stops.. and keels over, the alcohol finally searing through, and his part in the fight... done.

Hayato is wobbling after his punch to Bison's face, and now it's not just from the booze. Still, that felt really, really good. ...But apparently it wasn't good /enough/ because here comes the boxer again, dashing toward him. While at the same time Shenwoo is dashing toward him from another direction. This isn't good, not good at all. What can Hayato do? He's running out of tim- and then Hayato gets crushed between the boxer and the brawler. Hayato's face tries to go one way as Shenwoo's fist slams into it, while his body tries to go in another as Bison's punch, followed shortly thereafter by the full bulk of the boxer collides with him from a different angle.
A loud grunt escapes Hayato as the wind gets knocked out of him, and he struggles frantically to keep everything he's had to drink tonight from following it. Just pulling off that feat is difficult enough, there's no chance that he's going to remain standing, too. But as he falls Hayato is still able to lash out wildly, hoping to catch Shenwoo across the face with his shinai as he drops. And then he just has to pray that he can keep from puking long enough for the cameras to shut off, because that's about all he'll have enough energy left to do.

Taking a turning step after his rushing punch, Shenwoo stumbles a bit as he tries to get his balance. "Whoops, ha ha ha!" he laughs, nearly falling over again. It's in that moment, mere heartbeats after his fist impacts with Hayato, that Hayato's wild last swing with his shinai cracks the berserker in the side of the head, just clipping him as he half-stumbles, half-dodges out of the way.

Hilariously, this is all it takes.

"Guh wha?" says the berserker, looking very confused and a bit bleary, for about half a second before he just falls flat on his face.

A few seconds later, he starts snoring.
