Sully: I'm rather disappointed that Anarkist
isn't going be here tonight.
JP: H-�-n't booked, but who ever said he
wasn't goin-�.- he-�..?
Sully: That's true, he's be-�.- own to be a
li-�.- sneaky!
JP: One thi-�- or-�- sure thou-�-
[JP and Sully slowly start to get cut off, as we have seen
happening quite often lately. As always, they are completely unaware
of the increasingly low transmission clarity. Static randomly cuts
off the audio and visual aspects of the MWF production until finally
the entire feed is cut. Static scrolls the screen and it's constant
stratching sound is all that is heard. However that too slowly fades
when the center of the screen slowly starts to burn up. From the
middle outward, a flame eats at the image leaving behind nothing but
black. The flames take only a few seconds to consume the whole screen
and we are left with nothing. No sound, no visual. Moments later the
sound of footsteps can be heard from a distance. Along with them
comes the familiar voice of Laval, who can be heard but not seen.
Laval : In a world shrouded by darkness
and evil, the light beacons over you. In a sea of intolerable
grievances, you have been chosen. Amongst a hoard of mendacious
wolves, hungering for their next sin, stands an unexpected
righteousness duo. Two rogue angles who seek deliverance, but whom
cannot attain it without help. Which is where my work lay. I have
been sent here to speak to you and in turn be found. I was told
specifically not to seak you, but that your finding me was a key
piece in this perplexing puzzle. To those whose eyes have been
irreversibly covered in ominous and perpetual darkness, my words
cannot be understood. Only The Chosen have the ability to decipher
the true meaning of the words I speak.
[Laval's footsteps become much louder but fewer in between. His
pace is evidently slowing as he draws near, but he remains out of
sight.]
Laval : At long last I have been
discovered, at least partially. My words have reached their intended
recipient, but that accounts for only half the work. You now realise
your role in all of this. You now see that you are but half of the
solution. All along, deep down inside, you know that something has
been missing. The unforgivable injustices, the incessant cruelties,
and unremitting feeling that you're entitled to so much more than
you're being allocated. Fortunately, you're dawning on solution. It
is so close, and yet you're so far. His role in all of this is
equivalent to yours, without both of you none of this will work, you
know that. His implementation is key, and will sway everything to our
favour. Without him, we will be brushed aside like every past
attempt. With him, nothing shy of armageddon will be at our finger
tips.
[Laval finally walks into the shot and we see those piercing eyes
take center stage. The are again covered by tinted glasses, but the
fire burning in them can't be hidden. Laval continues.]
Laval : You must continue your search,
and never relent. Through the bleakest of times and darkest of
feelings, never must you question the plausibility of all of this! It
is of highest priority that you trust what I say, it must become your
reason for living. In exactly seven days the trials and tribulations
you'll endure from now until then will come to fruition. You must
find the one that has been cast aside, the one that seeks salvation!
However it won't be that easy, simply because he doesn't know he
wants to be saved. His emotions are taking priority over him and his
vision is cloudy. For the next seven days you must hunt him down and
come to a conclusive decision. His salvation rests in your hands,
your success lies in his hands. You have the gruelling task of
finding someone who doesn't know their lost. As unstoppable as you
both are alone, together you'll be apocalyptical!
[The shot slowly zooms out as Laval lowers his head and his face
comes into view. He stands with his shaven head bowed dawning a long
cloak with a blue sash that hangs over both his shoulders. Laval then
dart his head up and stares a hole right through the screen. He
speaks one last time, in a most passionate and serious tone.]
Laval : You've exceeded all expectations
to date, but now comes the true test. You have seven days to find
him. Failure will result in dire consequences, the likes of which you
have never known. Success will results in materialisation of
everything you've ever wanted. Over are the days of you being over
looked. Over are the days of you being the recipient of pain. Over
are your days as underrated. Change is upon us, success is upon us,
pain shall be upon them! You have seven days to find The Other! In
seven days you must confront him! And if he won't look, force him
to!
[Laval continues to stare into the screen, his righteous words
overshadowed by his demonic demeanour. All of the sudden an explosion
of flames erupts from the center of the screen and devour everything.
We can faintly hear Laval echoing the words "Find him!" as the shot
of JP and Sully slowly burns back. The two can be seen arguing but
not heard. The faint sound of Laval's voice slowly dissipates and in
his place Sully and JP are heard. ]
JP: It could very well be Laval, but I can't
say for sure.
Sully: It's him, you can't be naive enough
to think that it isn't.
JP: It has nothing to do with being naive,
it has to do with speculation. I can't see what's going on, so how
can I make a judgment?
Sully: I know full well that it's him, and I
know full well that he just spoke to Gutter Rat again. I don't know
what he told him, but it no doubt has something to do with that
"Other" guy.
JP: The who, with the what now?
Sully: Typical John, typical. Have you not
been watching the promotional videos this week?
JP: Of course I have, Doomsday and
Commissioner Wayne have been a busy pair. Not to mention the ever
colourful world of Troy Knight. Why do you ask?
Sully: You biased fool, Gutter Rat has been
talking about Laval and "The Other" all week. I though you were a
little more professional than that John!
JP: Soooorry!
Sully: You know what, just go to a
commercial until we get this figured out, I need a drink!
