 It was misery. The kind of misery that just wasn't getting any better with time. He would tell himself "just a few weeks more". Yet, week after week he was still here standing knee-deep in shit and there was still "a few weeks" more to go. Those weeks had already turned into years but now there was finally a light at the end of the pipe, just a few more weeks now. No, he wasn't fooling anyone any more, not even himself. He was in some deep shit here.
The place had been a mess from day 1, haphazardly expanded in different directions with no clear plan. Ah the good old days when no one cared and everything seemed easy and fun. And he still had money back then. Yes this fucking economy, now it seemed everyone except him had more money than they knew what to do with. Property prices in the VIP neighbourhoods had inflated something crazy. And here he was still having to sneak out to the dark alley behind a nearby Riga gym every time he had to take a dump. At least slightly more graceful than Pekka. And no one can smell it since it blends so well with the other stuff going on nearby. Besides he had never really liked those private gyms anyway.
He tried bringing a couple of the boys over to help several times, but all they would do was complain. He was so fed up with all the complaining. Had they not been impressed when he got that nice belt cabinet installed? They had, standing there looking in awed silence they had. But helped out they had not. Just went right back to the complaining those bastards. He gave them something nice and they just went right back asking about basic plumbing stuff, said there were multiple things smelling of shit, blamed him for the economy even - like what was he supposed to do about that? He ought to show them, give them just what they deserved. But he was all alone.
Suddenly light fell on him. Was it them, back again already? No this was a new group of people, armed with various plumbing tools.
- Who are you?
- We get shit done
- Oh thank heavens, right over there, you can start with the leaky..
- Not that kind, the guys you were muttering about, just point us in their direction, send us location..
There were four of them. Like four horsemen, but they were not on horses and not here for him. They were just looking to crush some top P4P dreams. And have fun doing it, like the good old days. Oh, and sometimes clinch-rape you too, yeah comes with the good old days like it or not. The thought of them going off to beat up all the other suckers out there almost brought a smile to his weary face, almost, but then clinching made him think of clinch takedowns and defense.. oh no, better get back to this bathroom, just a few more weeks now.
Skenoj - May be young but got the thousand yard stare of an eastern european military and armed with a rolled up Tycoon Times, a weapon from a more civilized time? The raw talent is there, but this young man has not completed his training yet. Luckily he is now with people who can show him the quicker and easier path, how to use his powers for attack and end fights.
Mac - Tamer of barbarians and Icelandic strongmen alike Mac once brought his stable of fighters to the top and stayed the undisputed #1 for a long time but then threw it all away after falling in with some internet conspiracy and went off to own nothing and be happy. Back now but is he really there mentally?
Gorica - A mystery man unknown to the tycoon world, is he the secret tool of the plumber death squad? The one to do the dirty work? Trained in the ways of Mac-Kun-Do in a remote monastery in Puerto Rico. Don't say we didn't warn you. Not that it will do you any good, you know it's coming but you still won't see it until it's too late, like a Cro Cop headkick.
Rei - Infamous for his involvement with the Yakuza and running various shady fight orgs. All the bling in his belt cabinet are just things he produced himself using child labour in his unlicensed cellar workshop. At least this group has one real tycoon to keep things in line and uphold some proper standards.
They are The Plumbers
