*Backstage at PWS: Apex, in an unlit, undisclosed location, sits a gigantic figure. It’s dark, the giant’s shrouded in shadow. He’s sitting, so his hulking figure can only be assumed. As the light brighten just a little bit, the form’s shown to be “The Mad God” Dionysus. His fingers are locked, his hands up near his face. He gently rocks, a crazed look in his eye. He stops, suddenly, slamming his hands down and looking directly into the camera. His mouth contorts into a smirk, and he speaks, surprisingly softly, towards the camera.*
Dionysus: Richard Rider…
*He brings his head up to face where he’s looking.*
Dionysus: Let’s talk about fame.
*He tilts his head a little bit as he speaks.*
Dionysus: All your life, you’ve wanted fame. You’ve wanted to be on top of the world, your name in lights, everyone knowing who you are. You’ve wanted the attention of women. The love and affection you never got from your family.
*His smirk fades, his mouth forming a scowl as he glares a hole through the camera.*
Dionysus: Let me tell you something, Rider. I’ve had that recognition you so crave. I’ve had people gawk and stare… I’ve been mocked and ridiculed and booed… and FEARED!
*He screams the last word, then settling down, his mouth twisting into a sadistic smile.*
Dionysus: I’ve been famous. It’s nothing you can handle.
*His head tilts the other way.*
Dionysus: See, that’s something we have in common, Richard. Our perceptions of ourselves have been determined by others. We’ve been told who we are, and it’s tainted our world view.
*His head tilts back to a more normal position.*
Dionysus: You’ve been told you’re destined for greatness. You were told you’re good at what you do. You were told that you could do no wrong, and after a while you believed them.
*Dio’s smile immediately fades.*
Dionysus: But I… I was told I was a monster. A sideshow! A FREAK!
*He pauses, breathing deeply, snarling towards the camera and he returns to his calmer manner of speaking.*
Dionysus: …And, just like you, after a while, I believed them. But, that’s where our similarities end. Because, you see… you, you’re not what they say. Your delusions of grandeur will be the end of you. And it will be a bitter, torturous end.
*Dionysus’ twisted smile returns, and he even starts to lightly chuckle.*
Dionysus: But me!?
*His sadistic laughing grows.*
Dionysus: I AM A MONSTER!
*Dionysus suddenly gets rapidly closer to the camera, like a wild predator lunging at its prey, and the camera cuts.*
