When your day job involves decent-sized audiences and is totally illegal, you can't always be picky about the venue.  Sometimes you luck out, though.<br/><br/>The group arrives at a modest but clean-looking bar on Long Island.  "There's not really room to bring the piano in," Megan comments regretfully.  "They've got a good sound system, though.  If someone wants to argue over the music, we get to flip a coin."<br/><br/>She strides up to the bar, and orders a "Blue Monkey without the Caracoa."  The bartender nods, flipping a hidden switch, and a soft buzz sounds from the staff door next to the bar.  Megan drops a $10 bill onto the bar, and motions for House and Wilson to follow through the door.<br/><br/>The basement below is unexpectedly large, and one can tell that it's hosted a higher class of Street Fighter than the warehouse in the past: the actual ring is set into the floor, so that the audience won't be at risk from errant projectiles.  Large video screens enable the up-close view that the downward perspective prevents.  Many of the seats are already full, and several fighters are visible with their managers.<br/><br/>A man in a suit hands Megan a sheet of paper, the tournament bracket, which she dutifully adds to the clipboard.  She scans it once, nodding, before looking up.  "House, I think that's your first opponent.  Derek Fitzgerald."  The man she indicates is dressed in combat fatigues and a wifebeater, lean and muscular but not especially huge.  "Wilson, you've got that kid.  His name's Jimmy Evans."  She smirks as she gestures toward a young man dressed in Armani slacks and (open) jacket over a red t-shirt.  "Don't feel too bad if you knock him out.  He doesn't need the money."<br/><br/>(OOC: House can discern that Fitzgerald is a Special Forces practicioner.  His Jab is 6/5/2, his Block is speed 8 with +2 soak, and his Spinning Backfist is 3/8/3.<br/><br/>Wilson can discern that Evans is a Capoeira practicioner.  His Forward is 5/7/2, his Backflip Kick is 5/7/two backwards, and his Grab is not worth mentioning.)
