"Ha ha, that's my lass!" The red headed behemoth said with a hearty laugh as he listened to the rather rustic looking radio that sat on a small coffee table in front of him. The grinning mountain of a man was no other than Artair Grant, or rather as everyone has come to call him simply Arty, and he was currently reclining his massive frame onto the couch in the living room of his modest apartment. He was enjoying the morning broadcast of Shine City radio just as he always did, though today was more than a bit special given that it was the feisty voice of the fiery DJ Haywood emanating from his radio this time. The young DJ had been quite excited about her upcoming take over of the radio station and Arty couldn't help but hear no end of it whenever the two met up at work. "I'm goin' to have to congratulate her tonight." He thought happily to himself, though the idea left a slightly bitter sweet taste in the Irishman's mouth. The only reason Nori was able to make such a great debut on the Shine City air waves was because Nick, the former host, had gotten himself into some serious trouble. "Poor lad..." Arty thought aloud with a sigh.
With some help from the lively songs that Nori was masterfully choosing and the small fur ball that was Nessie cuddling up to him Arty was able to pull himself out of his sorrow filled thoughts and regain his usual joyful demeanor. "Oi Nes, it is going to be a long day." He said as he gently scratched behind the cat's ears, who was currently curled up in Arty's lap. Arty was of course referring to LUSH's notorious Nightcore and Foam night, it always served to bring in a large crowd which meant that Arty was going to be doing a lot of denying tonight. The allure of club music and dancing in a room full of foam never failed to conjure up hordes of teens trying to sneak in, if only Arty was paid in the amount of fake IDs he saw a night, he could live like a king!
Letting out a chuckle at his own thoughts the giant turned his attention to the tiny feline mewing in his lap. Okay wee one, it is time to start the day." Arty said as he scratched the kitty's chin before carefully setting her to the side of him on the couch. He then stood and stretched out his bare form, letting out a earth shaking yawn. The next few moments consisted of him taking himself into the bathroom, hoping into and taking a quick shower, drying off, then going to get some clothes. It is a good thing the bouncer lived alone, otherwise someone would of got quite the eyeful.
The walking building of a bouncer reemerged from his bedroom dawning his work out gear, a simple dark green sleeveless T-shirt and black gym shorts, and a gym bag slung over his shoulder. He walked back over to the couch where Nessie was still contently curled up. He gave the cat a quick, but soft stroke. "I'll be back later Nes, be a good lass while I'm gone." He cooed to the cat who purred under his touch. With that done Arty set out of his apartment and the building it reside.
The second Arty's massive sneaker covered feet touched the side walk outside his apartment building he started his jog. The giant red head running down his street was a common sight for its residents, ever since moving in Arty had been running this same trail almost daily. It was a rather simple one that lead all the way from Arty's apartment all the way to his gym. Arty ran a few blocks before he got to his favorite part of his run, the little detour he took through Shiny Park. The big lug always like going through the park, the fresh air and smiling faces always refreshed his spirits and drove him the rest of the way through his work out.
