The following is both character development and advancement of the story to come that could not be well tied into a roleplay.
September 10th
Athens, Greece
Delikado, before his entire Deli Tee Vee staff, stands on a stage with his mother, Charlot of Brest, standing before a podium and speaking on behalf of the “contract signing” that is about to take place, which will merge Deli Tee Vee with the news media company “Something LOUD and OBNOXIOUS”.
Charlot of Brest: On behalf of the entire Action Packed Wrestling family, in absolute love for this ‘brother industry’ in the Deli Tee Vee programming, and, on a personal note, through a family reunion…
Delikado smiles as he holds his Overdrive Championship on his shoulder and slowly turns to the table with the paperwork on it as his mother moves away from the podium toward the table as well.
Charlot: Charlot and President Jeff license you, Delikado, the Overdrive Champion and creator of the Deli Tee Vee product, to combine your creation with that of the media enterprise “Something LOUD and OBNOXIOUS”, and we approve of you to use this joining of forces to further the sanctified good of your career, and also the entire Action Packed Wrestling family. Humbly.
Delikado nods graciously as he is handed the “royal pen” and he goes to sign the contract. Charlot nods as Delikado’s crew goes crazy with cheers and applause. When the paperwork is signed, men in suits approach the Cuban and begin to shake his hand as the applause continues.
Meanwhile, out in the crowd, the masked man Ewan Jakeway stands looking rather glum as he watches the ceremony reach its pinnacle: the joining of his rival media outlet with Delikado’s own forces. As he sighs softly, Jakeway is met with Sofia Monzón at his side as she seems to appear out of nowhere from the crowd like a bitch-snake. Jakeway blinks through his mask as he eyes the woman, who just snickers as she watches the events on-stage.
Sofia Monzón: Quite a sight to behold, isn’t it?
Ewan Jakeway: Indeed indeedy. The Delikado legacy is in optimal mode now. His family is here with the mother who stands as President Jeff’s representative, the eyes and ears of the APW populace are watching and waiting to see where the Cuban goes from here, and even Delikado himself, as Overdrive Champion, is swearing to live a life of purity and do good now for the entire wrestling world—so much so rumor is he’s quit smoking and thrown no rocks at Russian orphans. One might shed a tear if they could afford to look away from this, a curious sight, Miss Monzón.
Sofia: Yes. And with that “do good” mind frame he’s since established, it’s a shame Delikado decided to release you from his services. Your desire for ratings and your words of shameless encouragement truly did bring the extra “oomph” the past few months needed. You stood by though, even when it was clear you unleashed something your mind and heart did not originally wish for. You never relented. That takes balls. You have balls, Ewan Jakeway.
Jakeway smiles weakly as he watches Delikado hoist the Overdrive title into the air on-stage to a roar of approval from his minions. He hugs his dear mama and laughs as he is handed the “key” to “Something LOUD and OBNOXIOUS”, like it’s the key to a city.
Jakeway: Thank you for noticing, Miss Monzón. Indeed I very much did not envision this to be the final result of my efforts when I approached you and your team, but…it is what it is, and I can do no more to alter this endgame.
Sofia: Not quite. As it were, because I felt you brought so much vigor and a worthy level of advisement, I would love to bring you back to work for me personally.
Jakeway turns a curious head to the woman as she tilts her mysterious blue eyes toward him.
Jakeway: F…For you[/i]?[/color]
Sofia: Why not? You’ve proven yourself as loyal, trustworthy even. If that stupid "predictions bunny" hadn't come along, you'd still have the Bawse's ear. But that gimmick ship has sailed and I think there's still plenty of use to be made of your talents. Someone like you, mysterious and dead-set on a superior result, could aid VERY well in the future that is to come within APW.
Jakeway: What about you? It’s clear you’re here to aid Deli Tee Vee in its APW future, at Delikado’s side.
Sofia: Ahh, Delikado and I may not be the deluxe power couple item we were years ago, but I am still quite the presence within the Deli Tee Vee empire. I carry my own weight in the team now, and I can be quite…manipulative. But if I have my way, I’m gonna do more than AID Deli Tee Vee someday. As a former commentator and analyst, surely you can recognize how much of a game-changer that will be down the line.
The camera looms on Delikado as he is posing for pictures on-stage. We then focus on some of Delikado’s other followers like Ron Reynolds, Manny Valdez, the Carringtons, and so on.
Jakeway: And what about your teammates, the OTHER Deli Tee Vee staffers?
Sofia: Ha. Believe me, masked man, they’re all idiots. None of them have guts, and they only work for the paycheck, or the meager glory they get as Delikado’s punching bag or prop for a joke. No advancement exists in that future. And even this mother of his is not as strong or as hungry as me. I fought against Delikado once, and I came *this* close to setting myself where he is now. With you at my side, Jakeway, I KNOW we—
Jakeway: If it’s all the same to you, Sofia, I’ve spent enough time in the company of madness. My lust for ratings started an invasion, ending in a Champion being crowned and this mega-empire being born. I….I have no intention to linger around and bear witness to the madness of a civil war. Whatever APW’s future is to be with Delikado inside it, my only hope is this business pulls through.
Delikado: *in the background* WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! LET’S GO TO DISNEYLAND!
Timmy the Ill-Fated Staff Member: *in the background* I DON’T THINK ATHENS HAS ONE OF THOSE!
Delikado: *in the background* QUIET YOU!
As Sofia glares at the obnoxiousness on stage of Delikado laughing and enjoying himself, not to mention being annoyed at Jakeway’s rejection, she turns to face the masked man.
Sofia: You know, I could have ended you multiple times when you worked for us. Set you up, ruined you, even killed you. It’s actually funny...
Jakeway: Well then, lady, if you still want to end me, I’d advise you to do so now. Because there is nothing funny here, and I feel the ratings of the weeks to come will say much of the same. Now if you’ll excuse me…
He turns to Sofia and nods softly as he pulls a fedora on his masked head.
Jakeway: I have news to cover elsewhere. Enjoy your “empire business.”
Done talking and with his employment to Delikado/Deli Tee Vee terminated, Ewan Jakeway tips his hat and walks away through the crowd, disappearing from view. Sofia turns her head back toward the stage, watching Delikado parade around with his title and key. She sighs in content with what’s been said as she stands idly in peace……..FOR NOW! Drama and plotting has begun as we cut to black![/font][/size]
