[The scene opens in the halls of GiW HQ once again. Our focus is on the face of eD cASe, he is looking upwards, with an expression of concentration on his face. The camera pans out from eD and he is speaking to a six foot dragon, or as he is better known, Progdoor…]
Progdoor – “Roar rawr rawr, roar, rawr, roar roar rawr!”
eD – “I know, I know…it’s just like you say ‘they discriminate against anything that’s unique’. I agree with you 100%, those bastards would do anything to keep us down… Prog…can I call you Prog…”
Progdoor – “Rawr roar, rawr, roar…”
eD – “Hmmm….’What is in a name if it cannot be heard clearly and precisely?’, that’s a deep question Proggie…uh…I mean Prog. I should have known better, after spending a few years in BURNiNTOPIA before I joined ‘The Street’, I learnt your customs and your language, and to a Dragon a name is everything, without your name…you cease to be, in a philosophical sense…”
Progdoor – “Roar roar, rawr rawr roar. Rawr rawr, roar rawr rawr, roar rawr, ROAR RAWR, roar roar…”
[eD goes to speak…]
Progdoor – “Roar rawr, roar rawr, roar, rawr roar roar, raaawr roar roar roar roar, rawr, roar, rawr, rawr roar rawr rawr roar roar roar roar”
[[Progdoor throws his head back and lets out one last “RAWR” and mimes breathing fire on eD. eD jumps back as if a real flame is about to hit him, but stylishly (as stylishly as possible for a Muppet) smoothes himself down and begins to speak]
eD – “Gimme a second, my Dragonese is rusty…’roar rawr roar roar roar, rawr’…right, got it. Since Sean Jensen left you stranded you’ve been forced to work in the offices, Burninating classified papers? Hence the tie? I can see why you feel demeaned it just proves your earlier point ‘The ageing ruling classes will always try to subjugate the fresh new idea’s’…All whilst that ‘socipath’ Nathaniel Gregory gets star treatment…”
[It is at this point that one of GiW’s newest surviving stars chooses to make his entrance down the stairs. “The Blessed One” Travis Roberts takes his time descending, as he runs his hand through his hair he takes a pre-rolled from behind his ear and places it between his lips ready for his departure into the outside world. “The Headliner” comes to the bottom of the stairs, glances at eD, pinches the bridge of his nose whilst scrunching up his eyes, shakes his head quickly as if trying to gain focus and then nods his head in the direction of the exit, he then takes a pair of Aviator sunglasses from the top pocket of his leather jacket and heads for the door, eD starts to follow]
eD – “Don’t worry too much, I’ll figure out a plan with you next time I’m here….gotta go, “the Master Calls” and all that…”
Progdoor – “Roar rawr roar rawr ROAR….rawr roar roar rawr roar….rawr roar roar”
eD – “Ummm…’This is not the end, this is not even the beginning of the end. It is, instead, the end of the beginning’…Very apt words Progdoor…”
[Progdoor tilts his head to the side as if to display confusion, but eD has turned around and has caught up with Travis, who looks down at him over his glasses…]
Travis – “Who were you talking to Little Dude…”
eD – “Oh…that’s just Progdoor…”
Travis – “Who’s just Progdoor?”
[Travis stops in his tracks and looks back, Progdoor has moved on and there is an empty space at the bottom of the stairs. The Headliner looks back at eD and raises both eyebrows.]
eD – “Progdoor was the Dragon wearing the Spider-Pig tie”
Travis – “Right….so “The Headliner” really did see a Dragon in a Tie…”
[The Headliner and eD walk out onto the street, and eD quickly runs to the front of the car…]
eD – “Did you register the car with GiW parking Control…”
Travis – “Did you deliver the White Out to Savage on Sentinel last week?”
eD – “No…but I hardly see how that’s relevant….”
Travis – “The Headliner does not ask you if you have done his job, so why would you ask Travis Roberts if he had done what is clearly your responsibility…”
eD – “Ah…before you get angry Travis…my computer freaked out on me…and I couldn’t post the registration…”
[eD steps away from the front of the car, and clearly visible on the front left wheel is a large red wheel clamp, with the initial GiW stamped across it, Travis just looks at eD, who quickly hightails it back into the offices. A few moments later eD is back and out of breath]
eD – “Spoke….*weezes*….to….Cara….about my….mistake”
Travis – “And what did she say?”
eD – “That….we…could….take…the….bus…”
Travis – “The Headliner does not….take…the…bus”[The Blessed One is visibly disgusted by the idea and spits nearly every word out] “So….”
eD – “I don’t see any other option, she said the guy is on vacation until next week…”
Travis – “Pardon? Next week? “The Blessed One” cannot be without wheels for days, that’s it hire Travis Roberts a limo…”The Headliner” ain’t payin’ to travel on a bus…”
eD – “You can’t afford that…oh….right, I’m gonna be paying for it aren’t I?”
Travis – “First Cara Costello completely mishandles “The Headliners” return, even though Travis Roberts dug her out of that hole, rather than repay “The Blessed One” for saving her ass, she has mistook “The Headliner” for a curtain jerker once more! And this time he’s on…management duty! And now this…just get dialling”
[eD takes out his cell phone and makes the call. He attempts to bargain them down, even suggesting Travis take a people carrier with tinted windows instead, but the look on Travis’ face makes him quickly retract the suggestion, after about 5 minutes he has finished the transaction]
eD – “OK it’s booked…I take it the meeting with Cara didn’t go to well…”
Travis – “It’s clear to “The Blessed One” that Cara Costello is feeling the pressure of running this company without Declan. She’s cracking under the pressure “The Headliner” caught miss Costello screaming something about ‘man sluts’ to the heavens. Travis Roberts is a compassionate soul, and at that moment I understood what Costello was going through. “The headliner” had a moment of clarity…
It’s clear to all that Cara Costello needs Travis Roberts on the Sentinel Card, but the dilemma that faced her was where to put “The Headliner”? “The Blessed One” had already proved last Saturday, that Travis Roberts can overcome the odds, and she is currently desperate for Global Domination to assert their…well dominance. “The Headliner” does not buy Miss Costello’s naïve, clumsy, foolish act, “The Blessed One” see’s through the disguise, miss Costello is a shrewd operator indeed…
On the face of it, booking Travis Roberts as a curtain jerking manager seems like business and career suicide. But “The Blessed One” see’s things that others do not. As Cara said herself, she knows ‘The Blessed One’ is not a loser. She witnessed first-hand what “The Headliner” is capable of, and she knew what she had to do if she wanted Global Domination to assert their authority…”
eD – “What?”
Travis – “Keep them away from Travis Roberts. She knew she couldn’t risk putting any one of her men in the ring with “The Headliner”, her decision last week to debut “The Blessed One” in the manner she did, had repercussions later that night. Lord Deathman himself noted that Savage was acting ‘foolishly’ after he received the White Out, why else would he have interfered?
Cara Costello had the master plan of having me manage BoolZ, that way she still draws the fans and the media attention, but minimizes the chances of “The Headliner” overshadowing her night once more. Miss Costello is well aware that “The Blessed One” can make stars of her guys, she just knows now isn’t the right time.
She made another move in our meeting today. She placed an offer in front of ‘the Blessed One’…well two to be precise…but the second was the clever part. She offered ‘The Headliner’ a chance for her support, for her help in reaching the top, if Travis Roberts takes out BoolZ at Toxic Intent. The classic ‘divide and conquer’ technique, not only does she hope to keep ‘The Blessed One’ away from the members of Global Domination until after Toxic Intent, but she may ensure victory at Sentinel.
The only problem is, ‘The Blessed One’ isn’t sure Cara Costello understands ‘the Headliner’ at all; does she comprehend that Travis Roberts will be nobodies pawn? Does she realise that ‘The Blessed One’ is more astute than the average muscle headed wrestler? If she is aware of this she will also be aware that Travis Roberts is also a professional. ‘The Blessed One’ will happily face Randy Boolzian, because Travis Roberts knows that his REAL comeback will happen in front of an international audience. ‘The Headliner’ thrives for the Pay-Per-View atmosphere, and it is why he graced GiW in the first place, to get them higher than ever before.
But don’t imagine that ‘The Blessed One’ will cost BoolZ his match at Sentinel, do not be confused enough to think that Travis Roberts would do anything as petty. Randy can be confident that he will not have to watch his back. Our date is set at Toxic Intent, you can guarantee that ‘The Blessed One’ will not unofficially strike you until that day. But Randy, be under no illusions, ‘The Blessed One’ will not save you from a beating, ‘The Headliners’ conscience will not force him to leap to your defence if the ranks of Global Domination close in.
Aragato, Komosube, your own leader Cara herself recognises that ‘The Blessed One’ needs no help in gaining Legendary Status here in GiW, but as she so astutely pointed out, it would be a lot easier with Global Domination on my side. We may be standing on opposite corners of the ring at Sentinel but, Aragato, Komosube, ‘The Headliner’ has no issues with you. Do not take “The Headliners” words as naivety, nor take these as arrogance…if you place one hand on ‘The Blessed Ones’ body without provocation, be ready for your world to go WHITE! Ask your Nazi Ally what it feels like…”
[At this moment the limousine eD hired pulls up, Travis turns from the camera as eD opens the door for The Headliner to get in, as he does he has one last thing to say]
Travis – ‘When “The Blessed One” gets home, he’s planning to see some more dragons…”
END SCENE
Progdoor – “Roar rawr rawr, roar, rawr, roar roar rawr!”
eD – “I know, I know…it’s just like you say ‘they discriminate against anything that’s unique’. I agree with you 100%, those bastards would do anything to keep us down… Prog…can I call you Prog…”
