Great Buzzard Eli James IV · (09-04-2013)

A woman who seems to have bits of darkness and light within her stands before the mysterious preacher. A skinny pale-faced man, known as Mystica or David, stands by her side awaiting Eli's words to carry in the room. He's the one man that has relationships with both involved. He's a man and monster who is seen as Eli's apprentice of sorts.. and to Alexandra there seems to be some type of relationship. David, the intelligent and alerted man, isn't quite sure of Eli's intentions as to why asking to bring Alexandra to their home. He's torn. He's protective of both the lady beside him and the savior in front.

Pumps begin to appear on Alexandra's arms as if she were having a cold chill. Her eyes look lost in the scene in front of her. She was aware, like the rest of the XWF, about Eli's outrageous claims and the places he often stays at. She hasn't given much thought about it, but here she is.. live.. in person.. standing in one of homes.. even with the presence of her trusted and loyal friend.. her heart beats fast. Seeing it in person gives a different feel. A creepy feeling, as if someone's eyes were always watching your every move.

She knows she could handle her own if something were to happen, but she also knows she's in Eli's world.. at Eli's home.. and isn't sure where that is. Thoughts begin to run in her head if her friend David would defend her, give aid to Eli if he were to attack, or turn his head and shut his eyes.

Eli kept his attention on both Mystica and Alexandra.. studying their body language.. watching close. Eli has grown to enjoy Mystica's presence and friendship. It's been some time since Eli has had a close friend like he seems to have with Mystica. Now, only one can wonder what he's thinking about Mystica. Is Mystica trying to play with Eli and help his other friend trample over him? One could pose that thought but who knows with Eli.

Eli James IV "David. Mystica. Would ya'll please excuse me and Miss Callaway for a moment?

David had promised his friend he wouldn't leave her. He stands challenged by the leader of the Congregation and another friend of his. He stands unsure of what to do. After he looks in Eli's eyes, he moves attention slightly to Alexandra. They both sit and look at Mystica who isn't sure what to do. Eli notices the man before him is the same, but with a strong bond with the lady. Mystica had left his previous home and comfort to venture to an unknown world with an unknown preacher. He's defended Eli and the message they preach. He's battled and fought for Eli. His allegiance has been proven.

With several moments of silence, Eli realizes David's hesitancy to obey his request. Eli can't help but wonder if David's bond with the lady goes deeper than his recent bond with the message Eli speaks. Mystica finally moves his attention back to Eli and opens his mouth... words are about to come out but gets interrupted by Eli's slow and deep voice.

Eli James IV "David, your delay in responding is unfamiliar between us. Somethin' is turning inside ya.. we'll talk about that later. I won't ask ya to leave. I'll ask ya to go to that corner and stand while we chat.

Mystica "Thank you, Eli.

Mystica walks over to a dark corner and stands. Alexandra has a little worry on her face as to what Eli may do to Mystica once she's gone. Would Eli treat Mystica like he did Elisha? He wouldn't. They're much closer than Eric Rex and Eli were.

Alexandra takes a seat in a recliner a few feet in front of Eli. As she sits down, dust and dirt pop off the chair like it hasn't been sit in for years. She starts to cough a little while Eli stares with a serious look.

Alexandra Callaway "Well, Eli. here I am, as you requested. What's this about?

Eli's look turns from serious and dark to a little grin.

Eli James IV "Next week, we fight. Lookin' forward to it darlin'. I see you and David here have some sort of.. relationship?

Alexandra Callaway "I wouldn't ...

Eli James IV "It's not why I asked ya here. Tomorrow we have to work together and fight these two.. self-proclaimed.. revolutionists who hope to bring some change 'round here. Their change is empty. Their change is a hallow wall... looks solid on the outer but inside.. nothin'.

Alexandra Callaway "They've made a little impact and think they've discovered the cure for cancer, or aids. We may not agree or be in unison on everything Eli, but that I do agree with you on. They will be simple to defeat. Cam seems, how can I put this… like a simpleton.

Eli James IV "David. Good job on beating Griffin this past Monday.

Alexandra Callaway "Yes, good..

Eli James IV "So are you ok working together tomorrow?

Alexandra Callaway "I don't like being interrupted, Eli.

Eli James IV "Interruptions are a part of life, Miss Callaway. One minute you're watchin' a movie you've waited years to see and then ya get a phone call.. it's an emergency.. and ya have to go. Or maybe it's like you spend time working with someone.. and the possibility of it being interrupted.. right David?

David and Alexandra both see what Eli is trying to say. His voice and facial expressions show he's not too thrilled about Alexandra and David talking.

Mystica "Eli, it's not what you think. We're friends. I care about her. I am also loyal to you.

Eli James IV "I don't think Miss Callaway likes me very much. I guess I'm not a popular man 'round here. That's just fine. But I would say... Miss Callaway.. you would make a great addition to the Congregation and our cause.

Alexandra Callaway "Your cause or preaching really isn't my thing. I respect what you do in the ring, and of course David is with you, but I'm not too sure. I have no issues with you.

Eli James IV "You don't have to make your decision now, darlin'. Just an idea. Maybe Mystica can talk to ya. Back to the match comin' up..

Cam Lang. Heh. I don't have to question his intelligence.. his words question it for me. He says there's a reason he says what he does, but a fool says the same thing and eats his words. A fools words are moldy and sour, yet he says the same thing Cam does.

He thinks I speak lies then show my error. The words he repeated about how I lost is again a fools talk and proof him.. and all the others don't understand me at all. There was a man I fought and beat by the name of Neo-Nero. A tough man. A veteran who was feared by many. The United States Champion. I'll give him credit.. a smart man too. He tried to expose me, but all he did was expose himself. His words lacked a foundation.. it was like a spider-web caught in the wind.. nowhere to hold on to. We fought. Truth prevailed. The end. It's a common story 'round here.

Alexandra Callaway "He's not ready for us. I heard his talk about you. He's focusing all his attention on you, and that's a big mistake.

Eli James IV "I agree. You're a tough lady, with a charming look.

Cam reminds me of a man I once knew.. a smart mathematician.. but tried to talk smart with Physicists, Archaeologists, and eve some specialized Doctors. He thought since his intelligence was good in one area he must be an all-around smart man. He found out quick he'd better stick to what he knows and not try to look foolish. It's a lesson Cam could look at.

He can think all he wants to, but those thoughts don't mean you've figured it out. His meaningless talk has proven my riddle was too much for his mind. Heh. It's too much for a lot of folks.

I know he's afraid. He's hoping we'll turn on each other.. fight each other.. then his.. 'revolution'.. can continue. They're banking on turmoil. That's not a good bet to place.

Alexandra Callaway "Their revolution has ended before it really began. I'm going to prove once again why I'm not a girl to be messed with, especially with those idiots. I’ve had my wins, I’ve taken my shots, I’ve been destroyed and rebuilding. I will help you fight against them..

Mystica "I know your ability first-hand. Still got a nice bump from those brass knuckles a few weeks ago. Sad, they seem to underestimate you. It will be foolish in hindsight. But what's most important here is that we can come to a truce of sorts for now. This week, just take down those two blokes, and next week, you can duel it out til the milk runs dry. Just know that I support you both equally. I think I've more than proven myself to you, Eli. And Ally...you know how I am. There's room for everyone to get along. Call me an idealist, but...

Eli James IV "Glad to hear everyone is on the same page for the match and the future. Miss Callaway, I extend my hand to you following our arrangement to fight... join us. Work side by side with me and the Congregation. We can help ya. But don't answer until then. For now, think. Go get some rest for the match.. you're welcome to stay here if you'd like.. Mystica can show you to a room.. or he'll lead you on the way out back to your home. See ya tomorrow, darlin'.
