janusd 0 Report post Posted February 11, 2003 (This didn't quite come out the way I'd thought. Anyway. Enjoy. ) Several nights before, time unspecified. Sydney Opera House, Sydney Australia. Victory… Mike Van Siclen, holding his title high. Defeat… Janus, bent over, a fallen giant with blood staining his neck. An empty locker room. The door, half off its hinges. The embossed metal on the door revealing the rooms's owner. Janus Inside the locker room. Chaos. Chairs overturned. Lockers dented and battered. A stereo in pieces on the floor. The room looks as if a force of nature had destroyed it. Zoom in a bit. A first aid kit on the floor. Open. Pan out. Change direction. The parking lot. A giant with a bag on his shoulder. A bandage wrapped around his neck. Totally silent. Head hung. Expression unclear. Defeated. ------ 11th February, 2003. 10:44pm. Janus' Apartment. "I lost the match. I lost my chance to go straight to the top. I lost to someone smaller, weaker, someone pathetic." The giant talks to no one in particular. Clad in black trousers and a deep purple shirt, he sits on the couch and stares into space, green eyes narrowed in contemplation. Around his neck, the bandage is no longer present, only the tiniest marks remaining of that Russian Roulette onto the chair. "How? HOW DID I LOSE?" It was Terrence. You weren't yourself that night. The giant paused, shaking his head. "I was in perfect condition. Terrence has no place in a wrestling ring!" You were cheered. You LOVED your hometown's attention. "Who gives a FUCK about my hometown!? I just went there to win the title, I don't CARE where!" The voice in his head was silent as the giant rose to his feet and paced across his apartment, heading towards his bed. He paused, looking at the telephone there. Next to it was a small green box. Almost like a case for holding glasses, but smaller. "I'm sick and tired of this Terrence crap. I am Janus. I am named after the God of Doors. I am the rightful champion." Then ignore Terrence. Don't let him out to play. You were partying that day! You went drinking. With Crow. You don't socialise, Janus. Terrence does. The giant closed his eyes, shaking his head and picking up the small box off the table and opening it for a moment to look inside as if contemplating something within. "It's that fucking bird's fault. He egged me until Terrence came out..." Terrence IS a name you're known by. But he's useless. Pathetic. Janus is who you are now. You should destroy the stupid bird. The giant studied the box, and put it back down on the table. His expression was calm and grim. He looked at the phone for a moment, then shook his head slowly. "Perhaps Terrence is useful. I don't think the Magnificent Seven or the SJL would be ready for me if I went back to my roots...." Are you saying that the playful, friendly, EXCITABLE Terrence is good for you!? You shouldn't fear what you were capable of, Janus. Look! You let him control you, you didn't act as you would normally, and you FAILED MISERABLY! The giant turned and headed back towards the door, back towards the comforting couch in the loungeroom, the resounding words "You Failed" echoing in his mind. He shook his head with a faint smile. "I failed once. I'll see someone about this 'Terrence' problem...." The voice inside his mind chuckled. Was it his thought? Someone else's thought? Terrence's thoughts? He'd never questioned that little voice. Make Terrence a nonfactor. They may not be ready for the true you just yet...bide your time. For now. As for the bird...? Janus smiled bleakly to himself as he exited his bedroom. "It may be a gimmick match, but Crow will not come out of it being healthy." Behind him, he left the box. Inside was a phonenumber, written in gothic script. Underneath it, a pair of bloodred contact lenses. Closing the door behind him, Janus began to think. And plan.
