Andrej sits on the edge of his hotel bed, one huge hand moving to run through his thick red curls as his glacier blue eyes scan the seemingly tiny phone in his other massive hand. The free hand moves to stroke a beard worthy of a dwarf before he sighs and shakes his head, letting out a bemused laugh as he puts the phone down. The mountain of muscle shifts, the bed complaining, looking into the camera that has been watching him.
Well, it is good to see that you all took my advice! You did not provoke the bear; instead, you confused him!
He lets out another bemused laugh as he crosses his trunk like arms and shakes his head.
What is a protogen? Do they allow robots in these matches? I don’t even understand how that is fair, even with my limited understanding of how they work. Perhaps I will merely have to take it to pieces, since it will not tire like a man. It certainly doesn’t think like one or feel like one.
Andrej takes a moment to review in his head what he's been reading, or, well, attempting to read, before speaking again.
Ozzy, If I may call you that, less is more! I was trying to read your words, but by the Raven, I could not keep my focus! I would zone out a bit, and just... you do know you are in a match, right? From what I could manage to read, I don’t think you are very aware of that. Maybe I am wrong, but all I saw was something about the Squid over and over. Your information also barely had anything on me, so I do hope you are taking me somewhat more seriously than you seem to take the belt.
He chuckles good naturedly, hoping no offense is taken at his playful jabs. He honestly didn’t like to trash talk, but he felt he needed to say something about all this confusion. He does take a moment to make the sign of the Raven after speaking of the Squid, just to ward it off, before brightening up.
Now Kilroy! You, I understand! You are like me, and you merely wish to fight your hardest and in the most testing environment you can! I look forward to seeing your power and creativity in this strange cell we will be inside. Just try and not pass out in joy again, okay? That would not help you in the match, I think.
He uncrosses his arms and leans forward, the bed creaking again as he shifts his weight. He looks more serious now, like a stern teacher leaning down from a podium.
Miss Discipline… The thing you confused me with is that you are seen. You kept saying you wanted people to notice you, but you are one of the most known in this match. Even in my village we have seen or heard of your matches. Mostly in FIRESIDE, but you have been to many places, if I recall. Now, if you are wanting attention from just one person, perhaps you should focus on talking to them instead of fighting in a match. Otherwise, you will do something foolish to impress them, and... well, you will not enjoy what I do to take advantage of that.
Andrej leans back again and looks thoughtful, smiling gently to himself as he does. He strokes his beard for a moment longer before looking into the camera, still smiling.
Then there is Psychotic Goth, who is like many young men I have faced in the ring. I do not know you very well, my friend, but I have seen your type. You hate the world, right? Wish to bring ruin and darkness? Well, I am sorry to say, you will have to get through me… and I am a bit of a hurtle, no?
He winks at the camera, still happily smiling as he does. He tilts his head again, looking perplexed.
Next is… President Curtis? Yes, you pray to Thor, I think that is what I saw. What does he sound like to you? Does he give you wise counsel, or is it more brazen? I bet he tells you to go for your Spear… your BANG as much as you can. I suggest for this match you also speak to his brother Loki, for you might need more than just brawn with me around. Not to mention Random, who seems to be able to tie people into knots at will! I wonder, though, can she bend the stone I am built from? That will be interesting to find out. She has been very impressive, though, so I will need to keep an eye on her as well.
Andrej exhales and composes himself slightly before continuing.
Each of you has a reason to be in this match. Each of you has motivation, but I do not think that will be enough. Out of all of you, Kilroy is the only one that I can see lasting to the end, and that’s because he seems to love fighting as much as I do. He is something I understand. The rest of you seem either too out of touch with what is going on or too in touch with personal motivation to be able to focus on what needs to be done.
He holds his hands up for a moment, making a placating gesture as he smiles a little wider.
Now, I do not mean you cannot win! I merely mean that... My motivation is that I love to fight. I love to test myself and my opponent to the limit! That is why I am as strong as I am, and that is why I have fought all comers both in DTF and even around my home! That is pure motivation that will drive me forward to the end. Even with my body broken and bruised, even with my blood leaking from my pores, if I can fight, I will fight!
Andrej gets up, pacing as he gets more fired up. His hand grips one of the metal backed chairs and warps it as he looks back at the camera.
Not only that, but Jack is counting on me! He helped take care of my family, and I will not let him down. He did not have to help; he did not have to take care of us and I will pay him back! I swear it to the Raven! I will claim that belt in DTF's name, by my honor!
Andrej looks like battlelust incarnate as he looms over the camera, his breaths coming in growls and his eyes filled with fire.
So when you are broken, bleeding, and battered… will your motivation keep you going? Even with the goal of winning the X*Crown in front of you, will you be able to push forward to take that lofty title? This fight is worthy of what you all would call Valhalla and will surely have the Raven watching! So cripple me! Break me! Tear every strip of flesh from my bones! I will keep coming, no matter what! For I am the Modern Day Beserker, and I will never stop fighting!
Well, it is good to see that you all took my advice! You did not provoke the bear; instead, you confused him!
