El Parca Posted June 7, 2024 Posted June 7, 2024 [b]A dark room… Only the sounds of faint static can be heard bouncing off of the small room’s walls. The noise begins to grow louder, as a purple light flickers on above. The light illuminates a smaller area in the corner, where a TV screen sits, playing old footage of the Women’s World Champion, Deborah. We inch closer to the screen, as a familiar voice breaks the white noise barrier, in a soft, almost comforting tone. Joanna Silver:[/b] Do you not hear my pleas, Deborah? Have I not shown you my intentions? [b]Joanna:[/b] Do you not listen to me? Are you afraid? You don’t need to be afraid of me. [b]Footage from the past 12 months continues to play, focusing on Deborah Soto’s reign. Joanna:[/b] I have been patient enough with you… Now it is time for me to move forward with the new vision of my House. [b]Joanna steps slightly into frame, looking at the footage. The view shifts to her specifically. Joanna:[/b] A vision that will right the wrongs of the past. Florence… Lady Caleigh… Morgan… those who all lead before me.. [b]Joanna:[/b] Just those I have cherished leave my side… New life will be breathed in. New life who won’t leave me… who won’t leave our House. [b]Suddenly, River steps out of the shadows to Joanna’s left, the darkness concealing the left side of her face. Joanna:[/b] My beautiful River, flowing into my life, almost as if the cosmos itself knew I needed her. Shianne, your clock ticks away, but River will be sure to stop the hands themselves… But that On Deadly Ground was only the beginning of the new House. [b]Joanna pauses for a moment, as a much larger woman steps out from the shadows to her right. The larger woman’s face is hidden, but we can see she dons a black beanie and taped fists, as she crosses her arms. Joanna:[/b] You see? Much like River… I have been given another opportunity to save someone who has been cast aside in the past. A beautiful soul that management saw fit to dismiss recently. I’m not so keen on throwing someone away over a few mistakes. Something this company and you, Deborah… should notice. [b]Joanna:[/b] A woman capable of brutality… And one capable of restoration. One who will see the Houses mission and will make sure it’s destiny is fulfilled. [b]Joanna:[/b] Friday, Sweet Deborah… We expect to see you in New York. I would like to introduce you & the world together. Please… [b]Joanna:[/b] ..For your sake and those close to you, Deborah… You won’t disappoint me again, will you? I’d really hope you wouldn’t… [b]The view shifts back to the television as footage of OCW commentator & Deborah’s consigliere, Brian Williams, begins to play. The purple light flickers out again, as the three women are cast in shadows… The television being the last thing we see before the House of Faith logo flicks across the screen.[/b] 2
