( Scene opens on a dark evening, mist covering the ground and the camera turning slowly as if trying to find something familiar about the area that it would recognize. The camera notices a sign for a nearby building labeled simply “ The Octagon House “. The camera reluctantly proceeds to the building where it shows to our viewers a small light flickering from what seems to be the center of the bottom floor of the building. As the camera inches closer it shows the entrance of the building once sealed shut with a rusty chain that has clearly been broken into, and despite better judgment the camera proceeds inwards. Upon entering all that can be seen is dark, cobweb covered hallways branching off of the current path before noticing a dimly lit area catching the viewer's eye. As the camera moves closer to the area it starts picking up the sounds of faint footsteps that seem to get louder. At last the camera comes to the lit up area turning out to be a rather large wooden spiral staircase, and the footsteps come to a sudden stop as all that can be heard now is a rhyme being recited. )
Jack : All around the mulberry bush, the monkey chased the weasel, monkey thought ‘twas all in fun, pop goes the weasel.
( Jack lets out a loud guttural laugh. As the light goes out for a moment and the only audible noises that can be heard are a gunshot, and a moment later a loud thud seems to land mere inches in front of the viewers. The camera looks to investigate the noise for a moment, noticing a department store mannequin laying on the floor with a signed headshot photo of Richard Ryder taped to its face. As the dim lights come back on re-illuminating the staircase we now see Jack sitting in a black tattered arm chair, sporting a full brand new black Armani suit, a pink feather boa, and plastic gold star shaped sunglasses. )
Jack : Oh look at me would you? Money, fancy suit, a big house no one can afford I would dare say I’m acting like a regular movie star. Just like my idol and hero Dick Rider.
( Unable to contain his laughter Jack releases another laugh echoing up the staircase, and proceeds to wipe a tear from his eye. )
Jack : Dick listen I’m going to level with you.
( Jack proceeds to slowly stand up from his seat. )
Jack : During my time in PWS thus far I have faced a luchador, a crazed camo plastered I’m hesitant to say woman, and a weirdo in a squid mask. Now what do my previous victims have in common that seem to separate them from you? Not one of them, not one seems to have the level of delusion that you seem to carry with you, and trust me Dick that delusion will end up getting you hurt.
( Jack bends down and gingerly lifts the mannequin and begins to waltz with it cackling as they twirl. )
Jack : Oh my dear you do dance oh so divinely.
( Jack suddenly stops, and throws the mannequin off screen then proceeds to remove the fake boa and sunglasses and stares very intently at the camera. )
Jack : Dicky I want to make one thing vividly clear to you this isn’t going to be a fake ass movie set for a fake ass actor that you can call cut when I start beating your ass like a drum. So while I’m having the time of my life, and you are lying on the mat in a puddle of your own self pity, I want you to think about one thing.
( Jack closes his eyes for a moment and pauses as he takes a deep breath in, and out. The camera zooms in to focus on Jack's eyes as he re-opens them revealing now emerald green eyes, as he continues speaking. )
Jack : I want you to think about, simply put your life. I want you to think how did you end up here with such twisted thoughts of grandeur that will never come to fruition, and trust me i don’t need my trusty deck of cards to tell me that. I also want you to think about all your adoring “ fans “ , let's say, and most of all I want you to think about Alexandra, and what she thinks of your delusions.
( Jack lets out a low, almost growl-like chuckle before stopping to look down at his watch as his demeanor quickly changes back to his more jokester-like persona. )
Jack : Oh my look what time it is.
( Jack pauses for a moment before retrieving the mannequin he threw off screen. )
Jack : Well looks like we are late for a prior engagement so Dick we will have to cut this little talk short, but please don't worry like my previous opponents I have something special with your name on it.
( Jack reaches into the pocket of his jacket pulling out a gold pistol round with silver stars etched into the casing, and proceeds to show it to the camera. )
Jack : Awe beautiful stars for our wanna be star very appropriate. I’ll see you at Riot.
( Jack pauses for a brief moment. )
Jack : Dick.
( Jack winks at the camera and places the bullet on the ground, and walks past the camera carrying the mannequin over his shoulder. )
Jack : Oh and one last thing.
( Jack hollers back to the camera as he is leaving the building. )
Jack : The Octagon House we’re in at the moment is rumored to be haunted by John Tayloe, and his two daughters. So please when you leave make sure to lock up would you ? We wouldn’t want those nasty ghosts getting out now would we? I’ve heard they can be quite temperamental.
( Jack lets out one last loud laugh as he turns out the lights, and slams the door seemingly locking the viewer in the building as the camera fades to black. )
( End scene. )

(The scene opens up with Richard Rider in the back on his phone)
Richard Rider: Yes, 2 dozen red a day black roses. In your most expensive vase, the more extravagant the better. Delivered to her locker room. Yes, the note needs to say "to my dark queen". Yes. That's perfect. Thank you. Don't screw this up. I have a lot riding on this.
(He looks up and sees the camera there as he hangs up)
Richard Rider: Oh. So glad of you to join me. See, many are wondering what my motive is with my Dark Queen. Well that is between me and Miss Calaway. Yes, Calaway. Not Sanders. That emo double nozzle who doesn't know how to treat a woman. Even her brother knows this. But that's not why I asked you all here. I have a match against the green giant, Jack Edwards.
(Rider let a sigh)
Richard Rider: Sure, he has had a good run so far. Undefeated. Bravo. But… are you a Hollywood star? Have you been in the Avengers? Hung out with J.Lo? Hopped a rife with TayTay? No. No you haven't. Because you suck.
(Rider laughs)
Richard Rider: And just remember that as I whoop your ass. You are a rookie. Remember your place. It's beneath everyone else. You need to pay your dues in this industry. Just like in Hollywood. You gotta do some shifty movies before you get the good ones. Same here. So remember that… ya freak. Pay your dues.
(Rider looked at his phone and looked annoyed as he answered)
Richard Rider: No! Pink roses are not acceptable! Red and black only! God you guys are useless… you don't send PINK flowers to a lady like this. ARE YOU STUPID!?
(Rider motioned for the camera man to leave as the scene fades to black)
Ooc: sorry it's a few minutes late
