Promo: Pause, Rewind, Play

Recommended Posts

*CLICK ....WHIRRRR ......CLICK CLICK .....BLEEP .....WHIRRR*

 

Sitting in some hotel room somewhere in Salt Lake City, Dace Night is hunched up on the bed, with a lap top across his legs. Across the bed are scattered SWF issue archive DVDs. On the screen is an from Ground Zero, the image of Janus blocking the Intoxxication and coming so close to using the Rage Unleashed. Zooming in, Dace can see the look on Toxxic's face as he's held in the air then thrown sideways.

 

"Hmmmm, no that won't do. Not after that one." Dace mutters to himself with a slight sigh.

 

Some Burzum drones out from the CD player across the room, the scretching sounds being a much better choice than the hotel TV. Room service had provided a huge bowl of pasta and chicken along with other food and large bottles of coke and a small one of Scottish single malt whiskey.

 

Ejecting the DVD from the drive and idly clipping it back into the case, Dace picks up another one from the pile and slides it in, clicking play as the drive spins into life. The whole issue of DVD archive footage made it far when you wanted to check someone out before a match than lugging loads of tapes around with you. Each one was covered in an SWF logo and a listing of who was on the disk.

 

"Let's see...Toxxic knows his own stuff well enough not to show it. Flesher's might just work...Kibiagami's doesn't have a chance nor does the Trinity's." Flicking through the DVD's, Dace looks at all the people Toxxic has faced and for things he can use himself.

 

Reaching over, Dace picks up a chicken leg and takes a bite from it as he watches his loss against Toxxic before skipping through to some of his older matches......

"It's amazing the things you can forget. When they seem like so long ago. I can't go around trying any old spots to beat him. Not if I can use them myself. And he knows the ropes with some of the best people here. But him....no the little twat doesn't know him."

 

Slowly setting down his lap top and leaving the DVD playing on an old favourate match, Dace kickly rifles throuhg the pile of case and disks until he fines the one he's looking for with a grin on his face. Sitting back again the wall, Dace takes enough bite of chicken as he slides in the new DVD and presses play.

 

"Hero or not. Doing this for myself or the fans. For money or for fame or to be crippled at thirty five. I have to be ready for this one. I have to fight. And what better way to be ready."

 

Leaning back and watching the scenes flicker across the screen as the music drifts across the room, Dace lefts the memories come back in, all the styles and tactics. All the ideas. Toxxic's know for watching his tapes and making his connections. But you have to wonder if he'd know to look for this. If he does that maybe he'll win anyway. But if he doesn't...... well.

 

And in the hotel room, there are only three things to do. Pause, rewind and play.

Nice. I really like the way you guys have built this. Whatever the result of the match, I hope the feud keeps going afterwards. If these guys are reviewing tapes and scheming for the first showdown, I can only imagine what lengths they'll go to if this gets to 2 or 3 confrontations.

Yeah, that's right, you go to older things I know nothing about.

He is of course watching the seminal classic that is Ted Flink versus Soul Assassin.
