Summercide 2024 Fallout

[BASH]

A dark and silent room is where the scene opens. Curtains hide the light from the daytime hustle and bustle going on below. A large figure can barely be seen as a glimpse of light hits his pale face. The light reflects off his sunglasses before quickly escaping the room.

 

The room is quickly illuminated when the man presses the button on the remote. Summercide 2024 can be seen playing on the screen. You can hear the voices of Jay and Jake bringing us into the CCW championship match.

 

The man stares at screen just watching B17 pummel BASH and the mysterious figure just shakes his head in disgust. When the mercy killing is finally over, he quickly goes back to the beginning and watches it over.

 

The match runs in a loop for what seems like an eternity. A knock on the door is ignored. A second knock comes, and a woman’s voice can be heard on the other side of the door. The man opens the door.

 

Perl: BASH, I know you are upset about the loss to B17. You’ve isolated yourself completely since it happened.  

 

Perl makes her way past BASH and grabs the remote to the TV. She turns it off and the room goes dead silent. The room is dimly lit, and BASH takes a seat on his bed.

 

BASH: Failure is not an option. I will not stop until I have taken everything from B17 including that CCW Championship.

 

BASH: However, now is not the right time. The walls are closing in and there are threats within our home.

 

Perl looks over at BASH and smiles deviously. She flips her hair back behind walks up to the leader of DNS. She grabs both of BASH’s hands and holds them while looking him directly in the face.

 

Perl: There are only two people you can really trust in this world. Yourself… and well, me.

BASH nods at Perl and slumps his head a bit. Perl uses her right hand to push his chin back up before returning to BASH’s hand.

 

Perl: This week on Riot 626 you are going to go to the ring and tell the world you are going to be the one to end B17. I am coming with you, and you are going to treat me like the woman you love. No more games.  

 

BASH: I had planned to go into the bunker. Work this out until the time to strike again arises.

 

Perl takes her index finger and places it on BASH’s lips right as he finishes his sentence. Perl hops onto BASH’s lap taking the leader of DNS by surprise.

 

Perl: BASH, you know you need me at this point. I know you are scared to show any emotion, but I know you love me. Otherwise, I wouldn’t still be around.

 

Perl: You wouldn’t have taken the time to work with me on this hack or spent any real time focusing on me.

 

Perl: Yet here we are. So, let’s just stop pretending, and have you embrace the digital goddess in front you.

 

Perl runs her hands down BASH’s face slowly. Perl slowly places a kiss on the lips of BASH before feed cuts to black.

Gross.

Gross.

I blame you
