Ooc: if anyone knows how to do color from a phone, let me know!
Most people miss great opportunities because of their misperception of time. Don’t wait! The time will never be just right.
-Stephen C. Hogan
"Is it worth it?" Questions the camera man who is helped out of the car, his eyes shielded by a blindfold, so as to keep this location secret. Two men help him through a narrow doorway, closing the door behind him, removing the blindfold as the entrance creeks to a close.
His senses high from the lack of vision has enhanced his hearing. He soon wishes he was deaf, as the sounds of water droplets splashing against the cold, cement floors almost constantly are drowned out only by feint screams heard in the distance. While trying in his mind to ignore the eerie sounds, his eyes are starting to focus enough to notice a long dark corridor, with dim lighting.
The two men behind him, gesture for him to move forward. While not really knowing where he is going, he soon realizes where he needs to be as he spots Shiv in a chair at a wooden table. Two other gentlemen are also there, one sitting across from him, the other in a reclining chair a little ways away in the back corner of the room. The lighting is a bit brighter and after a few seconds the camera man is able to focus, noticing that Shiv and the man across from him are playing chess.
Shiv has realized that the man is there, yet pays him no attention. This awkward silence contines for a few minutes, until calmly Shiv says, "checkmate."
The man in the corner chimes in, "Shiv, you're ignoring your guest, you owe him an interview."
Shiv turns to the man, saying, "Did I ask you to speak? Do you want to go back to the "box?"
The man in the corner recoils back, shaking his head in the negative. Shiv continues...
Shiv: There's plenty to learn if you know what you're looking for.
Shiv, for the first time, adjusts the position of his chair, to acknowledge the camera man. Shiv gestures for him to take a seat a few feet away from him before continuing. His silence only broken by more constant drops of water and faint screams...
Shiv: There's a lot of applications to a game of chess. After all, patience, intelligence, and a good plan will make you successful. Every week, I move a little bit closer to my checkmate move. I keep moving the pieces on the board around so that I can complete my goals. You want to know what they are, don't you? Sorry, but all will be revealed with time.
Shiv smiles and makes eye contact with the camera man before continuing...
Shiv: Speaking of time, I have my first ever match in NCW. Hell, it's my first match on a great stage. My opponent? None other than Tyler Cross. I have come to question the way management views former champions, as not only has he been thrown into a cage match with myself, it was made as the opener.
It would seem as though they really don't care what becomes of the former Pinnacle Champion, as Tyler really has nothing to gain. In fact, he has everything to lose. Let's take a look, shall we?
Shiv reaches to the table and picks up a water bottle. He takes a swig before continuing...
Shiv: His reputation. If he wins, he'll have beaten another rookie. But, if he were to lose, he'd be the laughingstock of NCW. I could see the headlines now: "former NCW champion Tyler Cross loses to rookie Shiv." That can't be a good look. Although, to be honest, maybe after losing his title to his friend, maybe he's already begun his fall from grace.
Secondly, his health. He has no idea who I am or what I'm capable of. Meanwhile, I have plenty of footage to observe and strategize. Tyler has no idea how destructive and vicious I can be, and now that we're in a cage, I can be as brutal as I desire.
Lastly, if he's not careful, a bad showing by him will virtually put me in the hunt for the title that he was frostbiten trying to defend. I mean, how pathetic is that? He lost his title to a friend? No wonder why he's been given to me.
Shiv stands up and moves closer to the camera man. The camera man begins to react, moving away when Shiv looks closely into the camera...
Shiv: Tyler Cross, if you think frostbite is bad, imagine what a snake bite will feel like. See, the problem with venom is it works internally throughout your entire body, effecting in many cases, your physical and mental capabilities. In short, I'm not just going to beat you, I'm going to begin destroying you, just like I'm doing to your other friend, Brian Kennedy. You're not ready for me, Tyler. You don't have the antidote.
I'm not going to destroy you or "finish" you off like other people may say. No, it's going to be a slow, painful descent into hell. This isn't the end, this is only the beginning. Thanks to the powers that be, you've become my next target. I'll say it again, you aren't ready. So, in closing, I'll give you one warning. Run!
Shiv now has a sadistic look appearing on his face, so much so the camera man begins to get up, deciding to take his leave. The two men who escorted him in, begin following him out. Shiv whistles and points to a duffel bag, that one of the two escorts picks up and hands to the camera man as he makes his way to the exit, once again ignoring the sounds that grips him with uneasiness. Sadistic laughs now echo from the room Shiv was occupying as the blindfold once again covers his vision...
