A New Sheriff In Town

Recommended Posts

“Hi,” Megan Skye begins, looking over her desk at the figure seated in the chair in front of her.

 

The figure does not reply.

 

“Well, I hope you understand why we set this meeting up,” Megan continues, slightly weirded out already by her guest’s appearance but determined not to show it, “we appreciate that you have your own concerns in Japan but we were hoping to come to some mutually beneficial arrangement.”

 

The figure still does not reply, but nods once silently.

 

“You see, the SWF is a hotbed of talent and a byword for competition,” Megan starts once more, wondering if she can run for president with acting skills this good, “but every now and then - not often, you understand - our talent just doesn’t put the effort in. I’m sure you can understand that, right?”

 

Another nod.

 

“In the past we’ve had methods of helping this along,” Megan adds, “we had private advertising deals for top performers and stuff like that… but every now and then we need a bit of stick to go with the carrot. Someone to step in when people just can’t be bothered and make them realise they need to buck their ideas up a little. That role has been filled by all sorts of… things,” Megan explains, the word ‘people’ failing her as she considers G0R0, The Elk and Ebony, “but Joe Peters phased that out and to be honest, Tom Flesher never really went in for it. Commissioner Maddix,” she continues, perhaps unconsciously emphasising her business partner’s name to distance herself from this whole deal, “felt that maybe we should start this practice up again. And so we thought of you.”

 

A tilt of the head to one side, this time.

 

“It’s a simple enough deal,” Megan says, bored of waiting for a response and just sliding the contract over, “if two wrestlers are late, are in an unfit condition to wrestle due to avoidable circumstances such as excess alcohol consumption, or just plain aren’t trying, you go down there and… do what you do,” she finishes slightly lamely. “For this service you receive the agreed fee, plus travel expenses.” She pushes a pen across the desk. “Do we have a deal?”

 

The other figure regards the contract (carefully written up in Japanese thanks to outsourcing to the Onita twin that isn’t banging Flesher), picks up the pen and signs before dropping out of the chair and leaving the room. Megan just stares for a couple of seconds, then sighs and puts the contract into her Out tray.

 

“Sometimes this place is just too weird…”

I have the Star Wars "bad feeling about this"...

 

Should be interesting to see no-shows now. ;)
