Tag Title Announcement (Renegade, Kunk, Scythe)

[SwitchBack]

Mutual sight, mutual sound
Mutual struggle, for shared ground
It's safe to say, they'll try to take from me
I'm just another one for them to break down

Warren Peace makes his way out to the stage to make a brief announcement.

[glow=blue,2,300]"Season's Beatings is just a few days away. The Neon Alien and The Peacemaker; the Kings of Hardcore will step into the ring with two of the monsters of OCW; The Scythe and The Sphere Klown. Renegade and myself will hand our belts over to the referee and they will then be hoisted high above the ring, for the OCW Tag Team titles will be defended for the last time in 2007 in a Ladder Match!"[/glow]

And with that, Warren Peace takes his leave as his theme music plays him out.

Steeped in denial of the daily grind
Dream of a world for me and my kind
It's safe in the alternative reality
So stick your standards where the sun doesn't shine

[Deathie]

{As Warren makes it about halfway up the ramp, his theme song begins to play backwards. The arena lights dim noticeably & take on a purplish hue, sending the crowd into a loud but mixed reaction. Pyro lights on the stage to form a wall of fire, stopping Warren from proceeding. The OCWtron stops playing a reversed version of Warren’s video & snaps to a shot of the ring, now occupied by Didi & Scythe. Didi has a microphone in hand & raises it as Warren Peace spins to face the ring.}

Didi: How humorous, Mr. Peace…A man who is only a member of the Tag Team Champions by virtue of being in The Creatures of the Night, deciding the manner in which he will be challenged for his title. It will be truly enjoyable to watch you flounder into obscurity when The cTn is done away with. Who will hand you titles when The Creatures have none to give away?

{Warren starts back down the ramp, yelling towards the ring. He motions for a microphone as Didi continues.}

Didi: You claim that this will be the last title defense for 2007, Mr. Peace? I beg to differ. There hasn’t been a successful defense of The OCW Tag Team Championship since “Retribution”…and it certainly was not by Renegade & yourself. “Seasons Beatings” will be no exception, as Kunk & Scythe become the final OCW Tag Team Champions of 2007...No matter what sort of match you choose to face them in, Mr. Peace.

{Didi smiles out to ringside, awaiting Warren Peace’s rebuttal.}

((ooc))

((Tag to Switchback, Tristan or Kaveeks….or whoever))

OOC: Warren didn't actually leave the stage during the whole promo, but nevermind - I like where this is going. Might have to have a go at making an entrance video at some point too. Anyway, enough of the rambling, and on with the promoing!

As Peace reaches ringside, he looks up at Didi and raises the microphone to his mouth.

[glow=blue,2,300]"Once again you stick your nose where it doesn't belong. Really, Didi ... I'm starting to wonder about you. Why is it that you continually follow me around wherever I go? Is your little play-thing, Nitro, not doing enough to satisfy you? Have you now finally realised nothing less than a real man will do?"[/glow]

A few wolf whistles can be heard from the crowd at this last remark. Warren laughs before continuing.

[glow=blue,2,300]"Some may consider The Kings of Hardcore's title reign a farce due to the nature in which the gold came into our hands, but rest assured ... The Neon Alien and The Peacemaker are the greatest tag team this business has ever seen. Kunk and Scythe will witness first-hand at Season's Beatings that we are legends in the making!"[/glow]

Peace is handed a notepad and pen by a member of the audience.

[glow=blue,2,300]"Or is it an autograph you're after, Didi? Who shall I make it out to?"[/glow]

{Didi continues to smile at Warren as she raises her microphone.}

Didi: Make it out to Scythe, that is where I usually pass the self-signed Death Warrants…and after your performance against Nitro at Overdrive, I wouldn’t recommend you comparing yourself to him in terms of manhood. The atrocities committed by The Creatures of the Night are personified by YOU, Mr. Peace. That is the reason for our continuous harassment of you. Scythe & I have no interest in The OCW Tag Team Titles, but removing them from The Kings of Hardcore & The cTn…Well that interests us…immensely.

{Scythe leans over Didi’s shoulder & speaks into the mic.}

Scythe: …and as far as her nose being where it doesn’t belong, Nitro would beg to dif…

{Didi glances back at Scythe with a look that backs him up a step. The crowd erupts in laughter & catcalls with a smattering of female screams. He takes another step back & slumps his shoulders & neck, like a sulking child. Didi turns back to Warren, the smile back on her face.}

Didi: You claim that at Seasons Beatings, Kunk & Scythe will bear witness to The Kings of Hardcore as “Legends in the Making”… I say to you, Mr. Peace, that your legend has already been made… (the smile on her face getting more devious) Carved in stone, you may even say. Because when Seasons Beatings is over, you will be exposed for the false Kings that you truly are. At Seasons Beatings, The Pale Horse & The Sphere Klown will show The cTn how a championship is EARNED.

{Didi stares out of the ring at Warren Peace, inviting his response.}

((ooc))

((tag to Switchback or whoever feels compelled.))

A sadistic smile appears on Peace's face once again as he raises the mic back to his mouth.

[glow=blue,2,300]"Death warrant? I'm afraid that your 'Pale Horse' will find to his cost that there is only one Peacemaker in this business. At Season's Beatings, the only stone carving will be my name etched into the history of OCW as one half of the tag team that sent the monsters back to the graveyard once and for all!"[/glow]

Peace raises his arms in the air as the crowd once again erupt into noise before turning his attention back to his nemesis in the ring.

[glow=blue,2,300]"And, as for our pedigree, Craig Schaffner, Forceful Joe, Loki, Zero and even the IoD have all suffered defeats at the hands of the Kings of Hardcore in recent weeks, and come Season's Beatings, Kunk and Scythe can add their names to the ever growing list. In fact, the only real competition we have is with fellow cTn members, so the belts will stay within our ranks for the foreseable future. So run along little girl; playtime is over - let the men do the talking in the ring."[/glow]

{Didi's smile finally fades. She fixes Warren with an icy stare that silences the crowd.}

Didi: Since you would no longer like to hear from this “little girl”, Mr. Peace…I will honor your request…

{Didi holds the microphone above her left shoulder. Scythe steps forward, seemingly unperturbed by his earlier non-verbal scolding, and takes the mic from Didi. The crowd chuckles & titters as he raises the microphone.}

Scythe: Since you think yer too much of a “big boy” to listen to The Mistress, maybe I can hold yer attention…Hell, maybe I’m what yer into. Ya know, Warren, I used to actually think ya weren’t all that bad. But then I sit back & watch you happily take what you don’t deserve…not once, but twice. (holds up three fingers before looking at them & correcting(?) himself by adding another finger.) Not to worry, though…at Seasons Beatings, you WILL get what you deserve…and C KLOne or JC…or even that sellout bitch, Tate aren’t gonna be able to give you your belt back after this one…Not that it’d be much good to ya after the punishment that you'll be recievin'…

{The anti-cTn portion of the crowd erupts. Didi takes the microphone back from Scythe & steps forward to the side of the ring that Warren Peace stands just outside of.}

Didi: The only way your name will be carved into anything but a tombstone, is if it is proceeded by an asterisk to denote your multiple title reigns by virtue of charity. The days of The Creatures of the Night’s dominance are numbered, Mr. Peace…and you will be a mere footnote in their collapse.

{Pyro explodes around ringside, silencing the split crowd & obscuring the ring behind a four sided wall of fire. A moment later when the pyro goes out, the ring stands empty. Warren shrugs his shoulders, despite having been only a few feet from the pyro when it went off & starts back up the ramp. As he reaches the stage, Didi’s nowhere/everywhere voice fills the arena.}

Didi: [shadow=teal,left,300]"What lies behind us and what lies ahead of us are tiny matters compared to what lives within us."[/shadow]

((ooc))

((fade or tag out or something))

((btw, my bad on the shabby character placement. I misread & should be punished. Switchie, did you find the paddle yet?))

OOC: Afraid not, so it'll have to be a good old fashioned spanking instead.
