The scene opens with Valkyrie in the backstage area, surrounded by three security guards
Valkyrie: I told you already!
Valkyrie: I won’t get into trouble tonight, I’m just here to watch the show.
Valkyrie: Cheryl Stixx and Riley Quinn are not even here in this arena, so you have nothing to worry about.
Valkyrie: I swear.
OCW Security: And why exactly are you here then, Tooth Fairy?
OCW Security:
This is Riot, not Turmoil.
Valkyrie: No dookieshoe, Sherlock.
Valkyrie: But tonight Sentai Hare is facing Heather Angelo, so I decided to buy a ticket for that.
Valkyrie: Plus, they only sell OCW Ice Cream bars in MSG!, for some reason, and I admit I’m kinda addicted to them.
Valkyrie: Now let me in!
Valkyrie attempts adorably to push her way in to no avail as the the two are still arguing, a production team member approaches.
OCW Production Team Member: Let Princess Elsa through, guys.
OCW Production Team Member:
Also, the production team wants to speak with you privately, if you have a moment
Valkyrie: Go ahead.
OCW Production Team Member: We appreciated your little “poem” stunt on Turmoil 200.
OCW Production Team Member:
I gotta admit, you have potential, but your rhyme game is just awful.
OCW Production Team Member:
You really need to improve your metrics if you want to diss someone.
Valkyrie: Keep talking.
OCW Production Team Member: We decided to hire a ghostwriter for you..like Drake!.
OCW Production Team Member: She’s a rapper, pretty popular too.
OCW Production Team Member: You should check her YouTube Channel, she’s got more than a million subscribers.
OCW Production Team Member: Speaking of her… there she is! It’s time for you two to introduce yourselves.
???: Hello Sarah, nice to meet you. I can’t wait to start working with you.
???:
You can call me Echo.
Valkyrie: Nice to meet you too, Echo. You say you are a rapper?
Valkyrie: I wasn’t exactly planning on writing diss tracks on each member of the women’s division, the Cheryl Stixx poem was supposed to be a one night only sort of thing.
Echo: Diss tracks are very powerful weapons, you know…
Echo:
Sure, putting your opponent through a table could end her career, but writing a sick song on her could end her reputation even quicker!
Valkyrie: Well, that’s kinda true.
Valkyrie: Diss tracks are certainly more powerful than piledrivers or super kicks, I’m sure everyone would agree on that.
Valkyrie: Do you already have something in mind?
Echo: I’ve got a lot of ideas!
Valkyrie: We could write the Riley Quinn diss track, the Cheryl Stixx diss track, the Genevieve diss track, the Aerith diss track…
Valkyrie: Why would I want to diss Aerith? She saved my life three nights ago.
Echo: We can just save it for the future, you never know… If she ever turns her back on you, you’ll be ready!
Valkyrie: Alright, it sounds like you have everything sorted out. Do you want to join me in the front row?
Valkyrie: I’m sure I could get you a ticket somehow…
Valkyrie: … but first I really, really need to stop by the concession stand and stack up on ice cream. Are you coming with me?
As the two walk away in the hallway, the camera fades out
The camera pans to the announce team.
Is Valkyrie about to drop bars on the Women of OCW??!!
NEW NEW NEW VALK BUDDEN! Ohh Valky V!
THE CAMERA PANS TO THE RAMP!
The cameras go back to the ring, as we see Stacy Clark sitting, prepared to announce her guest for The Clark Effect.
Over the cheers of the OCW Universe, Stacy brings the microphone up to speak.
Stacy: How we feeling tonight, OCW Universe?!
Stacy: Welcome to another edition of “The Clark Effect”.
Stacy: Tonight we have an…..interesting guest, to say the least.
Stacy: He made himself known at RIOT 500, and made his in-ring debut last week, everyone please welcome Telos!
The arena goes dark as Telos makes his way onto the stage. His music hits and he begins to walk down the ramp.
The crowd stirs at his entrance, as most look on with cautious curiosity.
He Telos takes a seat in the ring opposite Stacy and removes his hood, slowly scanning the arena.
Stacy: Welcome to “The Clark Effect”, Telos. Let’s get right to it. You made your introduction at RIOT 500 and some people thought it was a little dramatic, to say the least.
Stacy: I think I can speak for myself and a few others when I ask, who are you exactly? How is your story going to guide your career here in OCW?
Telos looks down, smirks and begins to speak.
Telos: First of all, I appreciate you having me Stacy. To answer your question, the tale of my beginnings was merely an introduction.
Telos:
No more, no less. I may have confused some of the OCW Universe on why I’m here, and for that….. I will apologize.
Telos: For clarity’s sake, I am here to act. Not act, in the sense of putting forth a character.
Telos:
No, I am here to take action and execute where those before me have failed.
Telos:
Where other rookies have wanted to “save” this universe from something, I’m just trying to reach my apex.
Telos:
Once that goal is achieved, then the endgame can be discussed.
Stacy: Glad you could clear that up for the OCW Universe. We have a pretty good card tonight, what matchup seems the most interesting to you?
Telos: I’m not really interested in watching the competition. But I’m sure the fans will be happy with the main event.
Stacy: Fair enough. Tell us about your debut last week. You opened the show with a win against Masuka, how prepared were you for your first match?
Telos: To be honest, I wasn’t sure what to expect out of Masuka, but he gave me a good fight.
Telos:
I left the ring with my hand raised and respect for my opponent. If fate wills it, maybe I’ll see him in the ring again.
Stacy: It was definitely an impressive debut. You don’t have a match scheduled tonight, but if you had your pick, who would you want to face next?
Telos: I don’t really have a preference. I’m just grateful to be able to showcase my talents on the best show in OCW.
Telos:
Whoever I’m booked against is going to get a challenge, that’s for sure.
Stacy: That’s not really an answ-
Telos: This is “The Clark Effect” right, Stacy?
Telos stands up and dismissively gestures to the set, and the crowd filling the arena.
Telos: This is what the OCW Universe wants, right?
Telos:
Generic ass answers from athletes who have turned themselves into caricatures.
Telos:
You want an honest answer?
Telos: I was insulted by what was put in front of me last week. I knew before I even arrived that I was walking away with a win.
Telos:
Did he put up a fight? Yeah. Got a few good hits in on me.
Telos:
But the way his body crumpled to the mat after the Endgame, was set in stone long before that bell rang.
Telos:
That’s how I feel about Masuka. I should’ve snatched the mask off his face, but I have no interest in disgracing lucha culture.
Telos chuckles and turns back to Stacy, who has a concerned look on her face.
Telos: You asked me, Stacy, who I’d like to face next, and to that I was being truthful.
Telos:
I genuinely do not care what opponent the Lords of Riot decide to put in front of me. Name, gimmick, record. It. Does. Not. Matter. Spines all break the same.
Telos: But I will say this: I’m ready to fight again. I’m ready to be on every card knocking the “talent” down, one by one.
Telos:
Like I said just a few minutes ago, I’m here to act. So put me on the stage.
Telos drops the mic in the center of the ring and glares at the crowd as he walks up the ramp.
Stacy: Well, that it for “The Clark Effect”, back to you guys!
Camera cuts to black before the next segment.
The camera pans to the announce team.

The camera pans to the announce team.

Wait, WHAT? THAT's...WHAT???!!!
Live Via OCW Stream...
The scene opens to a note on a door that reads, “Rent Due”. The camera looks down at the doorknob and someone with black gloves knocks on the door.
No answer.
This person of interest reveals a key to unlock the door. The door squeaks open and the sound of water dripping could be heard inside this trashed apartment.
It’s dark inside and only the street lights from outside fill in small areas throughout the apartment. This person wields a small flashlight to search the apartment.
Scattered throughout the apartment is dead roses, rose petals and even a broken bottle of Tequila Rose.
They walk slowly from the kitchen and living room area and is now in the doorway of a bedroom. They shine a flashlight into the bedroom and Heather is knocked out next to her bed on the floor.
???: Such pity to see such talent wasted.
The person of interest walks in towards Heather and tries to wake her up. It took some time but she opens her eyes slightly as if she like woke up from a coma.
Heather: Wh- who arrr-uh…(Licks her dry lips) ya-
With a bit of a struggle, Heather gets lifted off the ground and sat up onto the bed before she can even finish her statement.
???: Now is not the time. You have a title match coming.
They lift Heather from her bed onto their shoulder and carries her away. Heather grumbles some slurred words that no one could understand.
Before leaving the apartment they stop to turn the water off that’s dripping in the kitchen.
???: Ahh, now that’s better.
The person finally carries Heather out of the apartment as the scene fades.
