Disclaimer- I do not own any of the characters of SSX or SSX but I do own the plot and The SSX Complex.
The SSX Complex is split off into four buildings.
SSX A is sleeping and eating quarters
SSX B is Meeting rooms, Everything Snowboards, The Hall (where promotions and stuff happen) and Rec rooms.
SSX C is the staff and organizers rooms, also judges.
SSX D is Radio Big and all media outlets.
Chapter 7- Party Planning
SSX B - In one of the large lounge rooms in SSX B
"Fuck yeah! Fifth place! Partay!" Eddie screamed standing on one of the chairs in the lounge room. Everybody looked at him with weird stares.
He heard people whisper stuff like "I don't want to see him when he wins," and "What a dumb ass, no wonder he has never won," Eddie ignored these though and kept making gestures with his arms. When he was done, he sat back down beside Viggo and picked up he drink. He made a cheers like gesture, then drank it all down.
"Wow, and I thought I was happy about my eighth. Wait a minute, do you know what we should do?" Viggo asked Eddie. Eddie just shrugged his shoulders. "We should have a party!"
Eddie yelled in agreement, not even noticing that it was his own idea. "We should get EA to sponsor it." Viggo stared at him weirdly at that comment. "So we don't have to buy the booze man! Yeah it would be a lot more formal, oh, I got it, we will made it a dinner, make EA sponsor it, then after the meal, around 8:30, we grab all of the left over food and booze and go into the Inter Sanctum, where we will have, I don't know."
"A wet t-shirt contest!" Viggo suggested sitting up straight. Eddie nodded, but then stopped.
"Nah, not after a sponsored meal, it would go to the presses, and EA would kill us. How about we get Allegra to get her band to play. Oh we could have Mac do some DJ death match stuff, and then we can watch Moby kick his ass in a rap battle," Eddie then motioned to the waitress that he wanted another drink.
"Oh we could get that cool Indy Rock band that's playing tomorrow at the day shack to do a few song set." The waitress came back with Eddie's drink at that moment. Eddie grabbed it, thanked her and commended her one her beauty. Viggo just shrugged his shoulders.
"How the hell are you going to get them to do that when they already got a paying gig the next day?" Eddie asked drinking down his whole drink quickly. He slammed it on the table and signalled the waitress to get him another.
"You forget my man, we are SSX riders. We control this town, people do what we tell them to!" Viggo half yelled. Also while he was saying this he was waving his arms, trying to add an expression of big.
"Here you go," the waitress said as she gave Eddie his drink. "Don't you think it is a little early to be drinking?"
"Hey, could you eat your shoe, for me, as a favour?" Eddie asked with a big grin on his face.
"... Seriously, I think that will be your last drink here," the waitress said laughing to herself as she walked away.
Eddie grabbed his drink and drank it "See!" he said loudly. Viggo just shrugged his shoulders. "Anyway, did be SSX riders help us when you, Psymon and me tried to convince that punk orchestra to do the same, I still have some of those bruises!" Eddie said. He pulled up his shirt to show this big bruise on his abdomen.
"Okay, okay I do not need to see that. Thank punk orchestra thing was just an honest mistake on our part," Viggo said, trying not to think of the incident.
"Honest mistake! On our part! You were the one who suggested we dress like pimps and promise them hoes for payment. Hell, me and Psymon only came along to see you get beat up, but no they had to block the door first!" Eddie slammed his fist onto the table, rocking it slightly.
"Okay fine, although I think we would have been better off if Psymon hadn't smashed that beer bottle on that guy's head when he started to laugh at us. I thought we were doing pretty good. Anyway this time I am going to them just in the interest of convincing them to play. Not to have a laugh while I am trying," Viggo said. He grabbed at his first drink that he had barely touched. He took a sip and put it back down. "Okay I will try the band, you try EA."
"Dude, brain wave!" Eddie said standing up quickly. "We should totally make the dinner a karioke party! You know that extremely high tech karioke machine I have down there I never use?" Viggo though for a moment and nodded his head. "Well if you give me an hour then I can program it, with, oh, I would say five hundred more songs!" Eddie seemed to be very happy with this. Viggo smiled.
"It's going to be tons of fun. Looks like I am doing the band and EA. Oh here is a list of songs that I want in," Viggo said as he took out a piece of paper and gave it to Eddie. Eddie grabbed it and gave Viggo a weird stare. "What there is tons of reasons why I have a list of songs I like to sing in my pocket!" Viggo said, in an offended tone. Eddie just shrugged. They then both stood up at exactly the same moment. "Rock and Roll mother fucker," they both said at the same time. They then started to walk out of the lounge, but Eddie was stopped by the waitress. Viggo slipped away though.
SSX C - Hiro's office
Viggo walked into Hiro's office, without knocking or, notifying anyone that he was doing that. Hiro looked up and swore quite loudly at the sight of Viggo walking into his room discreetly, with a big smirk on his face.
"Shit, let me guess. You and Eddie want to have a party to celebrate a good race. Even though the race was thirty minutes ago, and since it is 4:30 you only have an hour to plan it. Even though common sense would dictate that you should have it tomorrow, you are very stubborn and you have to have it today. You want to have a dinner first, where there will a karioke machine jammed with songs, ready for you to give us an example of just how terrible you and Eddie sound singing together. Worst of all you want EA to sponsor it. Then you and your army of people, who are just going to show up, will grab as much stuff as they can, then they run to the inter Sanctum, causing a riot because to little people can fit in the five person elevator, so it will take one hour for everyone to get in. Where, the SSX riders with their entourages will but in front and cause an even bigger commotion.
"Then once you are all in their, you will have Allegra's band playing, followed by Mac's DJ death matches and rap battles. Followed by a band who you will pay 700 dollars of EA money to play a one hour set. Then it will take two hours two get everyone out, and something will go seriously wrong, like almost astronomically wrong." Hiro said, with his arms crossed, staring holes into Viggo.
"Wow you are good my man. How did you know?" Viggo said looking very innocent.
"First, I learn from my mistakes, second you a very predictable person, third you ask me that like almost after every event. But being the riders representative, I am inclined to phone up the president of EA and ask him, if he approves then it will be all right, if not then I am going to skin you alive for bothering me," he seemed to have this sinister "it is going to be the second one" look all across his face. Something that Viggo frankly didn't like looking at. So Viggo decided to look at Hiro's extensive manga collection.
Viggo heard Hiro pick up the phone. He breathed deeply and kept looking over the manga. Most of it didn't interest him though mainly since it was mostly in Japanese. The SSX riders had this pool for whoever could find a english one in Hiro's bookcase full of them, in the time they had in the room talking to Hiro.
Kaori won though, although most of the riders, especially JP and Jurgen. They kept making this claim that she and Hiro were in league with each other, and that they had split the pot. They even were able to convince Moby on the subject (the only time ever(they even made a special plaque for the occasion of JP being able to convince Moby of something) ).
Viggo's frame of mind altered though as he heard Hiro say, "What! You can't be serious, this won't give SSX more street cred, in fact it may kill some people from the street ...but ambulances are useless when the paramedics have to go through a crowd of a few thousand ... yes killing people is a bad thing ... we will lose not gain if someone dies ... look, the only thing we will gain would be enemies and cops searching our asses ... yes, sorry sir I will control my mouth better ... fine but I wash my hands of this party, if someone dies then it is all of your faults ... no sir I am not disrespecting you ... yes washing your hands of something means that ... look I think someone does that in the bible, around the Easter passages ... no I do not believe that that's just an over glorified fairytale ... okay so this may sound like I am hanging up, but I am not," Then Hiro hung up the phone. "Okay Viggo you got yourself an EA sponsored party. Have fun," he said that last bit with a huge smirk on his face.
"Sweet!" Viggo said jumping in the air. He gave Hiro a thumbs up and burst out the door.
"Okay, I am starting to see more and more why people call this guy gay," Hiro said as he shook his head and went back to work.
Authors Notes- hehe, that last part with Hiro talking to the president of EA turned out a lot better then I had expected.
