The scene fades in mostly calm, as a few staff members are casually chatting around a catering table in the halls. A sudden and boisterous commotion interrupts their small-talk as they all turn to look down the hall.
Their eyes widen in annoyance and terror as they see the source of the commotion heading their way.
The camera turns to see Ijitu Quartz, Harvey Ocean, Ryu Matsumoto and Emp strolling down the halls, seemingly unaffected by the idea that their noise could be disruptive to someone else trying to do their jobs.
Quartz: Is there anything better in this world than sonning Nate Ortiz? I’ve been sonning Nate Ortiz for so many years now, I’m not even sure I do it on purpose anymore.
Spider turns to the New Storm with a wide smile, his golden tooth glimmering in the distance.
RYU: TELL EM
Emp: Tell who?
Spider stands thinking for a moment then meekly stretches out his arm in an arching motion
RYU:… you know… “Em”
Emp cackles to herself as the four continue.
H2O: Damn straight, brother… And hey wait, didn’t you invent sonning Nate Ortiz, Spider?
Quartz: You’re damn right he did. How do you think we got so perfect at it? Hahaha!
Emp: Did you see the look of shock and awe on that dummy’s face? It was priceless.
As the four approach closer, the crew members have turned around and stopped speaking, trying to remain inconspicuous. Despite their best efforts, they are unable to remove themselves from the ire of the foursome.
Emp: Hey, dummy. What are you doing?
RYU: You boys tryna act inconspicuous or something? Are you plotting our downfall?!
H2O: I think they might be. I mean…who isn’t plotting on us around here?
Quartz takes a long step forward and stands over the crew, who don’t respond and just keep their heads down.
H2O nudges Emp and Spider playfully,
H2O: Hey bro, be careful not to touch them, Drago might fine you!
Quartz: Is that right?
Ijitu turns to the group and smirks before grabbing the nearest crew member by the collar and shoving him across the hall, into another table, causing the contents to fly around. His colleagues rush over to help him up and all three scurry away.
Quartz: Whoops! Dammit, you just warned me about that too! Now I’m going to get fined by big bad Drago Cesar!
Emp steps forward and crosses her arms very seriously, holding a stern look on her face.
Emp: Mr. Quartz, I have heard rumors that you’ve been abusing innocent OCW staff! You know we don’t tolerate that behavior around here! So I’m here to investigate the situation as the responsible GM I am.
She takes a very quick look left, then right, then shrugs her shoulders.
Emp: I’ve concluded my investigation. No foul play. Sorry for the horrible burden his investigation has put on the both of you.
H2O and Quartz embrace sarcastically and wipe “sweat” from their brow before all four world class maniacs burst into laughter and turn towards a nearby office.
H2O: You see brother, she’s amazing.
Emp: It’s all in a day's work. Something Dupree doesn’t know how to do. Because he’s so fat!
Emp smirks.
Quartz: Yes. But no more games, Harv and no more distractions. 2024 is the year we flip this shit on its head.
H2O: Future Idiots, here we come!
They step into the office, continuing to be way louder than they really need to be.
Quartz: After we celebrate tonight, it’s straight ahead to the OCW Tag Team Championships.
Quartz: Dupree wants to see some meat?
Ijitu flexes his heavies a few times, much to the delight of Spider.
RYU: It’s been too long!
Emp: But that’s for later… For now, it’s time to celebrate the death of the Sensation-Ortiz family. Drinks are on me courtesy of Jason Clifton Sensation.
They continue laughing as the camera man attempts to follow, but H2O turns to him and sticks a finger in his face, before slamming the door shut.
