"You sure you’re ok?"
*We open on Death Trap sitting in a hotel room lounge chair, he seems to be very upset and stewing over something. His manager’s teenage daughter pats him on the shoulder and looks concerned. It might be because he has the TV remote in his hands, clenched, and she needs it to play Stardew Valley on the TV.*
"Where does he get off, Sarah? Who the fu- er- dge … do Kira and Yuki think they are?"
*Across the room, Chaos’s glare subsides as he stops himself from triggering the language bomb.*
"TMI!"
"No honey, TMS. Frankly an absolutely appalling name if you ask me. How many people on the network, wrestlers even, are at risk of triggering from a team named for that act. And as someone who was stabbed, Yuki should KNOW better and stop Kira from his baser urges."
"Frankly, the entire act their name describes is problematic. But then we can establish that they have little self-awareness or common sense from their choice of workplace and style of wrestling."
"No, it’s partially appropriate. Since calling me out like that is as good as signing their death warrants. MGK IS A CHUMP COMPARED TO DEATH TRAP! Where is he now I ask you? Who is still here, winning world titles? Who came back from potentially career ending injuries to help skyrocket the best alt fed on the network to stardom? MGK … and Rat Bastard … HE DIDN’T EVEN USE GRAVEDIGGER OR REESHI OR VENOM! I’d actually be ok with that but … Rat? MGK? GAH!"
*Chaos holds in a snicker as DT throws his hands in the air in exasperation. Sarah leaps onto the bed to catch the remote, landing on Mistress in the process.*
"OOF!"
*Sarah looks up at her with sorrow in her eyes, then smiles.*
"TRAINING! Block the crossbody block Mistress!"
*Sarah turns and pops the TV on and sinks into a trance as she farms an entire block of rare crops as the moos of cows and yelps of ostriches ring out.*
"… and then they go and allude to a disease from head injuries that turned a man into a murderer and ruined how people see his career. They have no tact. Y’all need to teach them a lesson!"
*Mistress slides her legs off the bed and drops to the floor to walk over to where DT is sitting, taking the other lounge chair.*
"It is baffling to me how they try and garner the sympathy of the crowd that they disrespect and provoke. Why would she bring a camera to such a private moment? Just to show off her special effects budget for that portal? Surely it is all just smoke and mirrors."
"The last time someone tried to even question what was happening in front of them involving Yuki, it almost turned the crowd against Death Trap."
"Don’t remind me. All I did was question what they were doing, a woman changed her appearance in front of the camera, clearly hiding plastic surgery with effects to garner sympathy. Turns out that the surgery was to correct for … ew … Brad Swann … actually trying to kill her. How was I to know? At the time I didn’t know Mongo would retain a man who actually cut heads off on his roster! I apologized and everything and she twisted my words to make me look bad."
"I wonder how much Mongo had to pay in the lawsuits over two beheadings at his network on live streaming…"
"Yuki, the last time we met, how exactly did that end for you? Let me remind you, first salvo of the match. Ryan Young tapping on the outside, you spike Dylan with a DDT and turn right into the Main Attraction. Breakdown to the face, locked in the Death Trap, no escape. Gone nice and early in the match. Sure I may have lost my title, but it was MY title, one you never even came close to. For all the posturing and hero antics, you weren’t on my level."
"It is to be expected. We are the top of the class, the cream of the crop. We have finely honed our teamwork into a well-oiled machine. Yuki may have been the XHF Women’s Champion, but I was the inaugural SPARK Champion and constant threat to the Fireside world title, and you are a multi-time world champion."
*DT nods and looks to the camera they have set up.*
"Has Yuki or Kira ever caused the so-called greatest X*Crown champ to pass out from their submission? No."
*On the TV Sarah has forgotten to get to bed by 2am and passes out on the dock.*
"Oops. Too tired."
"Why yes Sarah, we are tired of Kira’s obsession with ultra-violence. Yuki and Kira try and substitute weaponry for their lack of skill. I bet Kira was overjoyed by this match type when it was announced. Why Mongo chose this instead of a submission match or a more entertaining, less bloody, stipulation I do not know."
"It certainly seems like a SWAT or RSW style match. I bet some guy named Allen requested it for some reason."
"I just don’t understand how that Kira fellow can like Barb Wire."
*DT and MD sit a moment and think. They don’t seem to have a logical answer.*
"That’s what happens when you go insane, I guess. Some of these guys with the ultra-violence … I don’t get it. And it’s not like Dylan or Jesse or Spike or Price or whoever aren’t already talented enough to get by without trying to literally flay each other alive. I personally find it all in bad taste. Yes the weapon is everywhere in this match but I don’t need it to make Kira tap out."
"I do not look forward to the post-match victory press conference when we have to talk to the media while still trying not to bleed out. And all because our opponents do not have enough wrestling skill and substitute outside foreign objects for actual talent. It is repulsive. I intend to put them down the old fashioned way. Knee to the face, make them tap."
"Maybe that’s why he likes it? He taps to it?"
"I don’t think Kira likes having the barbed wire used on him, he just likes to use it. He’s a sadistic bastard. Look what he puts his people through. To call me out for trying to save SWAT for the fans … does he even realize his own fed is FAR more violent than SWAT ever was? Minus Zoran … dear old dad is on his own level over any one fed. Although I imagine in GUNS wrestling inside a bear is probably unpleasant …"
*Sarah looks over at them for a moment, game paused in the middle of the mines*
"Bears? Good for GUNS. LGBTQ positive!"
*Mistress can’t help but laugh at the image of Off the Wagon and the GUNS wrestling large hairy men instead of the truth.*
"I do believe it is actual bears, Sarah."
*Her mouth goes wide … then she quickly spins back to her game.*
"The point is, Kira’s fed is dripping in nonsensical violence for no reason and he has the gall to call out my career decisions? He could have stayed in AWF, earned that hall of fame, maybe WON THE WORLD TITLE! But that would be too hard without his beloved barbed wire."
"How would that help him win a title, Death Trap? It’s not even good! Like I bet it’d get under 30% positive reviews."
"It may be true, Kira may not have the skill to be a world champion even with weaponry. We will show them what true wrestling prodigies look like. And they will have no choice but to marvel at our teamwork and respect our skills. Nobody disrespects my partner and walks out unscathed."
"Damn straight. We are not material for your fetish spank bank Kira. We are both accomplished wrestlers. And I will not let you make fun of my iconic hat, my previous history of head injuries, or my partner’s previous profession. You need to watch your mouth and show some respect to those who’ve earned it. This bowler hat bitch is gonna make you pass out, wrapped in your beloved barbed wire."
"WHAT? How are you going to do that? Will she even show up? She’s not even hot anymore. And Pam Anderson isn’t even a good actor! Why is Mongo or Kira so obsessed with that horrible smut show!?"
*All three of the others look at Chaos. She looks back to each of them and gives a quizzical look.*
"Barb Wire? Pam Anderson led comic book hero movie? Piece of smutty crap? Are we … not talking about that?"
"No Chaos, we are referring to the farming and security implement. Metal wire with sharp barbs all over it. It flays flesh and is not safe for a normal work environment."
"Oh … my mistake … the training regimen I have for you guys is going to be REAL weird, awkward and pointless now! What a big blunder."
*Mistress just looks at her manager in disbelief as she tries to figure out what horrors she had designed for them based on the assumption the match was going to involve Pamela Anderson… DT just smirks and picks up the other part of the statement.
"Poor TMS. They don’t realize it, but they made the biggest mistake of their careers challenging and then provoking us. Now Mistress and I are going to embarrass you in your own domain. We are the superior wrestlers, the superior competitors, and we will demonstrate that to you in a most violent lesson. Way to blow up your own career prospects!"
"Oops … NO NO NO AAAAAGH! My wine!"
*Sarah has accidentally dropped a super bomb in the middle of her farm and decimated two weeks of work … she silently, sadly, resets the game losing all her progress from that day, in the name of saving her farm. Mr. Resetti would be SO pissed.*
"Yes, Sarah, much like what you just did. That is what TMS has done to themselves. The only difference is they cannot reset and try again."
"That was ironic timing."
"Nah stuff like that always happens. Sometimes you guys need to stop always questioning and suspend your disbelief …"
*Fade out*
