*The camera cuts to pitch blackness. Soon a single lightbulb flicks on, swaying from side to side. It doesn’t illuminate much, the room still being mostly black, but we do see a face, and what looks like a terrarium for an animal. We hear nothing for a few seconds, but after a little bit of time has passed we hear a familiar voice. The voice of the Mad God, Dionysus, softly singing a song to the tune of “One Elephant Went Out to Play”. The song is slow and somber.*
Dionysus: One little wolf went out to play…
*We can see him lift a piece of wood out of the enclosure with a moderately-sized spider on it.*
Dionysus: Upon a spider’s web one day.
*He slowly lowers the spider back down into the terrarium, the lightbulb’s swaying finally slowing.*
Dionysus: The spider was, needless to say…
*He suddenly, violently grabs the swinging bulb, stopping the swaying in its tracks and giving it a single twist to complete the circuit better, illuminating the room.*
Dionysus: Happy that it got such a big meal that day.
*The room, now illuminated, is quite quaint. It looks like it was bigger, but it’s got a few different animal enclosures inside of it, all for what look to be deadly Australian animals, including a death adder snake, a blue-ringed octopus, and in the center, in front of Dionysus, a Sydney funnel-web spider. He looks inside the enclosure once again, before staring into the camera, speaking softly but confidently.*
Dionysus: Cassie… coming from Australia... the land of death, of creatures that are HAPPY to kill you in an instant… I’m surprised you still want to fight me.
*He pauses, smirking in the sadistic way he does.*
Dionysus: Because you, of all people, should know the danger of being in such close proximity to a deadly animal. Within striking range of the lethal venom of the world’s most dangerous snake. You’re young, Cassie, so perhaps you simply haven’t learned yet just how harsh the world can be. And if that’s the case…
*His smirk turns into a full-on grin.*
Dionysus: I would be MORE than happy to show you.
*He pauses, taking a deep breath, his smile fading with the exhale.*
Dionysus: Because, miss Wolfe, whether it be the common death adder, the blue-ringed octopus, the Sydney funnel-web spider…
*The camera shows a close-up of each animal in-turn when he mentions them*
Dionysus: NOTHING you encounter in the outback will EVER be as DEADLY or THREATENING as DIONYSUS!
*Another short pause as he settles down*
Dionysus: And unlike every spider, snake, box jellyfish, ANY venomous animal you could possibly encounter in the Australian outback… there IS no anti-venom for ME.
*Another short pause to let the line sink in. He bends over, looking in at the spider, before standing back up to full height.*
Dionysus: Because you’ll come to learn, Cassie… even though, most of the time, in most places, a wolf against a spider is not even a contest… in the rabid, UNFORGIVING wilderness you’ve thrown yourself into…
*He slowly lowers his hand into the spider’s enclosure, and the funnel-web crawls up onto it*
Dionysus: When a wolf fights a spider…
*He lifts the spider up to the camera.*
Dionysus: The spider wins.
*He slowly puts the spider back down into the enclosure, laughing softly yet maliciously, before reaching up and turning the light back off. Quietly he speaks again. A solitary word.*
Dionysus: RUN.
*The camera suddenly cuts, leaving only a loud static in its wake.*
