Promo: Over The Ocean Part Two

[The Amazing Rando 0]

TIME: 2 AM Sunday Morning

PLACE: Somewhere Over The Pacific

 

Heading the other direction now, the trio of Bruce Blank, his brother Wayne, and Bloodshed have found themselves back in a red-eye flight across the Pacific and to the SWF’s next World Tour destination…South Korea.

 

First class once again, Bloodshed is wearing headphones and watching a small television, the screen showing replays of OAOAST HeldDown, and Bruce’s destruction of Ultimo Villano X backstage in Salt Lake City(bottom of post linked). The sounds of X’s body striking concrete and steel are heard even outside the headphones, and Wayne watches over Bloodshed’s shoulder, unbeknownst to the self-proclaimed bloody prophet. As the scene on the screen fades to black, Bloodshed removes his headphones.

 

“Ahem”

 

Wayne coughs into his hands, the noise catching Bloodshed off guard as he spins and throws a right hand up, ready to strike. Upon seeing the source of the sound, he lowers his hand.

 

“What do you want?”

 

“I can’t sleep.”

 

“Me neither” is Bloodshed’s response, “but I can handle going a few hours without sleep. No big deal.” Next to them, Bruce is curled up just as he was a few days ago, bandana over his eyes to block out what little light is still in the cabin.

 

“You’ve got a big week ahead of you.” Wayne says, pointing to the small piece of paper in between Bloodshed and Bruce’s seats. Bloodshed glances down at it and then back up to Wayne.

 

“Yeah. We know. It’s all Bruce can talk about. Ever since he lost his Ultraviolent Title I can tell he’s been wanting another shot at some gold. I’ve been in this situation before, though….against Todd Cortez actually.”

 

“Yeah, I saw that. When that big monster…uhm…what was his name, again?”

 

“Edward. Edward James.” Bloodshed’s head drops a bit as the name slips from his lips.

 

“Yeah. I mean, that guy never had the best luck in the world, but I thought you could have won.” Wayne’s words cause Bloodshed to look back up.

 

“Oh you think so?”

 

“Of course. He was a big guy, no focus though. You could tell. It was like he was scared shitless to be out there.”

 

“I thought I was the only one that saw that.” Bloodshed smiled a bit, until Wayne decided to ruin it.

 

“You miss Coy West too?”

 

Bummer.

 

“Yep. Guy had what it took, but he couldn’t leave his family. I left my family a long time ago.”

 

“I still got mine.” Wayne says, the smile on his face wide as he looks over at his snoozing older brother.

 

“Yeah, hey…I know you don’t ever go down to the ring with your brother, but if you want to I wouldn’t care if you were there for our match Monday night. You don’t have to, though. It’s going to be crazy with those weird Doomtopians running around.”

 

“Maybe I will, maybe I won’t. Bruce is crazy like that, and it depends on what kind of alcohol I can find around Seoul. This tour has been great if for nothing else than that. I’ve been shit-faced in more countries than Skynyrd ever toured in!”

 

“I guess this tour means different things to different people…” came Bloodshed’s reply as he turned back around in his seat. “I’m getting some sleep. Plane should be landing in about four hours.”

 

As Wayne fell back in his seat, a few familiar notes of Kansas hummed out of Bloodshed’s mouth, and he smiled…

 

FADE.

Nice one. The highlight, by far, is the line about Edward James never having much luck.

I get the feeling that Wayne is gay for Clark.

Wayne is just expressing his admiration for another man in a way that a man secure enough in his sexuality wo. . . okay maybe that's not in the Wayne Blank character to have that level of maturity

 

I do believe we'll leave angles that transend the heterosexual boundaries in your hands - your black fingernailed hands.

 

Wayne is the little brother, the tag along who would do anything for his big brother but would also do anything for attention and to be accepted - anyone who's ever had a kid brother try to weasle in on you and your friends playing ball know what I'm talking about.

Exactly. He might also be afraid of flying. I should have had him drink more.

I have no siblings whatsoever, so I'll leave that analysis to you. However, if this is what they behave like then I'm even more glad to be an only child than normal.
