"The video opens to the bWo studios where Tommy Slavino is standing by.



Tommy Slavino: “Hello ladies and gentlemen, My name is Tony Slavino, and I’m “The Voice of bWo”! I regret to inform you all that Miss Fury decided to use the remaining time between now and March Madness to-" (OOC: CREDIT TO MISS FURY)



Jeff Crosby: We interrupt your... "entertainment that nobody gives a shit about anyway" to bring you breaking news from our Weather station about the rare March hurricane that has now evolved into one of the most dangerous storms in a century! Superstorm Solace has become a massive, powerful, and dangerous category 3 hurricane and has all but destroyed the Island of Hanari.



Jeff: Now, we have seen what Superstorm Solace could do when she left the Island of Hanari in utter ruin causing many of the 'experts' to be stunned and in disbelief as all of our projections were shattered. This being said, our newest projections suggest Solace is not done yet, heading right for the mainland. First stop Mount Fury which has, up until the very last moment, refused to take Superstorm Solace seriously but look at these projected numbers...



Solace is currently projected to go from zero to 60 real quick as it collides into M. Fury; its next victim on this path of destruction. Let's give it to our Hurricane Specialist, Bethany Curtis for more. Bethany?

Bethany: Thanks, Jeff. It was less than a month ago our radars picked up disruption in the Atlantic and I have to admit, none of us could have ever predicted this system would become as strong as this storm has, as fast! Right now, our simulations predict that Superstorm Solace is expected to slow down and really hammer M. Fury as a category 3 hurricane.

Jeff: Any indication that M. Fury's residents have begun evacuation?

Bethany: None at all, Jeff. Residents have made it clear that if this storm is as bad as we are expecting, they are going down with the ship, and right now, they are on the Titanic as we expect Superstorm Solace to absolutely devastate the entire region.

Jeff: Thank you, Bethany. Keep us updated. Let's take a look at the possibilities that seem most likely for Solace after running the gauntlet on Mount Fury... First, our least likely scenario depicts Solace on track to continue Northwest barrelling towards the City of Atara where the tiny town of Warstein, which is typically hidden in her shadow, is now part of the danger unfolding. Let's take it down to the city level with our correspondent Shawn and his weather-bot. What are people doing in preparation for Solace. Shawn?

Shawn: Afternoon, Jeff! We are here in the City of Atara and I got to tell you that right now it's sunshine and rainbows. It's eerie how misleading this weather is, Jeff, knowing there's a monster potentially rolling in our direction as we speak but that hasn't stopped the people of Warstein and Atara from preparing ahead. In fact, a little confusion today caused the people of Warstein to flee towards Atara which is the opposite direction they want to go, Jeff...

Jeff: What caused this confusion?

Shawn: Jeff... residents of Warstein truly feel protected within Atara's walls, but from what we've seen from Superstorm Solace, walls aren't going to be enough to protect the people of Atara or Warstein as they potentially endure sustained category 3 force winds. Just a really dangerous situation for this scenario, Jeff.

Jeff: Any new information from weather-bot?

Shawn: No... unfortunately, the weather-bot got a bit wet.

Jeff: Oh, but... wait, isn't it sunny out?

Shawn: Back to you, Jeff.

Jeff: Al...right. Anyway. Another path Solace might take, after decimating Mount Fury, is a turn towards the straight north right into Granger Beach. Let's go down to the sands and speak with our reporter on location, Osira. Osira?

Osira is knee-deep in water as the low-level beach is overtaken by a high tide.



Osira: Jeff, the probability of Superstorm Solace heading for this area is becoming a likely scenario and it doesn't bode well for residents of Granger Beach. As you can see, miles out, Solace is still pushing a storm-surge that is sure to be within the 5 to 8 feet mark here even as it reaches Mount Fury.

Jeff: Have people begun evacuation.

Osira: No, they haven't. Like everyone else, it seems nobody ever considered Superstorm Solace becoming the threat that she is. In fact, by the time Granger residents accept their circumstances, these surges are going to make travels Impossible.

Jeff: Please keep us...

Osira is taken by the water and rushed away from the camera's view. There was nothing anyone could do to help her. All that was left was Granger Beach and its pending catastrophe barrelling towards the shore.

Jeff: We seemed to have lost Osira. Oh well. Anyway, our third likely track might be the most likely course and that is a southern turn that would continue west and into the mountainous town of Doctoville. We have our weather specialist Keiran on location in the town of Koverton with the latest. Keiran?



Keiran is standing firm as winds battle to push him from his stance.

Keiran: I am... here... on... location... and... the... winds... are picking... uPPPP

Suddenly a gusting wind manages to lift Keiran off his feet. He grabs a nearby telephone poll as he hangs for dear life but it's too much for his brittle fingers. He flies away with the debris around him and out of sight.



Jeff: We have lost Keiran, but with those winds, he never really had a chance. That leaves us with Doctoville and Sarah Wilson is up on top of the mountain. Sarah, any signs of Superstorm Solace's wrath?



Sarah: Not yet, Jeff... and quite frankly, this path might be a monkey wrench that doesn't bode well for Superstorm Solace. The elevation of Doctoville against Solace's momentum might prove to be enough to destabilize the storm but if she remains at category 3, the history of mudslides on this mountain might cause just enough calamity to make the difference. The people of Doctoville are aware of their height and how far in-land from the shore, but they absolutely shouldn't underestimate this storm, Jeff.

Jeff: It seems a common thread with all of these areas of interest... simply failing to acknowledge the severity of Solace's threat as a storm.

Sarah: This is true, Jeff... a storm of this magnitude at this rate of power is a rare event, and since people haven't seen it in their lifetime, they might be about to experience it first-hand!

Jeff: Thank you, Sarah... That concludes our breaking news update, we will keep an eye on Superstorm Solace, but we at the weather station truly urge the cities and towns in Solace's path to take extra precautions... this storm is coming whether you believe it or not. Ration food and water, fill up your generators, take shelter, and prepare for the likelihood that you are not as safe as you believe you are.

Wait... before we leave you, we are receiving an update from Mount Fury Naval command... it seems the S.S. Oswald, a billion-dollar cargoship has capsized west of the Island of Hanari... a ship that managed to endure a hit from Solace before rising to category 3 status has now been hit a second time and sunk to the bottom of the Atlantic. A word from M. Fury states, "They never saw her coming." A haunting reminder that the Quiet Storm is not to be underestimated. Evacuate. Please.



Instead of returning to Bobtube, as nobody cares, Steve Sayors XWF Show: What'd you Say? airs instead.

"Before... March Madness... an interview with a rising star... Solace TATUM!!!"

Solace walks out with a bright smile, her hand extended as Steve Sayor reaches for it.

Steve: Welcome back! I've missed you...

Solace: ...

Steven: I've missed your... uh, I missed your last promo so I'm hoping I don't repeat anything you've already said!

Solace: Way to research your guests, Steve.

Solace chuckles as Steve nervously cackles, both sitting in their respective chairs.

Steve: There's a lot to go over... let's start with the second chance battle royale. Who is coming out of that one on top?

Solace: Andre Dixon.

Steve: Really? What do you know about Andre Dixon?

Solace: I know he's a shitty gambler... aside from that, he's in a second chance battle royale because he probably fucked up the first chance somehow. Good thing these guys in the management have big hearts otherwise, you'd be wrestling Joey Oddjobs every week until you're forced off the cards. Enough of you. You might not even win the damn thing... but if you do... I'll be ready.

Steve: I'm glad to hear you say it because my next question is... do you agree that taking on Oswald while having to compete in the March Madness Tournament was a naive rookie mistake?

Solace: No. Sounds like Miss Fury is projecting her own disabilities. That isn't my problem. Just because her work ethic is shit and typically wastes her time on promos rather than training, although, I think she now realizes what is about to happen to her... hence the skipping out of a 4th promo so she can play catch up. Oh and then popping up at the end of it just to say the same shit about me that she's been saying the entire time.

Steve: Yes, and also that you are creatively bankrupt. Saying Imitation is the sincerest form of failure. What do you say about that?

Solace: It's rich coming from the chick who made her first promo admitting her entire identity was adopted from an old comic book character. Her attire... her personality... her ring name. Name one thing original about her... what I did wasn't imitate her... it was showing the world just how easy it was to do what she does, and improve upon it! She failed to do the same when adopting Miss Fury and ruined what inspired her in the first place... doesn't that make Miss Fury the failure?

Steve: Do you feel, being a newcomer, that you are in over your head? Or as Miss Fury would say, WAY over your head?

Solace: I do my best swimming in the deep end. Oh, and I told one person about my weird superhero dream, but that's far from a promo, just so you know. Sadly, she is so out of ammunition that she had to rely on tiny tidbits of my personal life to grasp at straws... another sign of insecurity on her part so if that was a grade B Miss Fury Promo... that's an improvement on her full-length grade C promos. Maybe she should ask Oswald for more money and not allow "trivial shit" like quality stand in her way.

Steve: Jesus...

Solace: Don't ask me about Miss Fury again. She gets enough underserved attention and after March Madness, I'm going to shut her the fuck up. Sorry... I don't need her telling me I have promise, I know who I am... she doesn't even know who she is. Next.

Steve: I'm sorry, Solace... I just had one more thing to ask about. Miss Fury had made a point of accusing you of changing the narrative by releasing multiple promos... is that what you were doing?

Solace: That was a storm... brewing... it was Godzilla charging up atomic breath... that was a warm-up... Miss Fury, of course, knows she has a problem or she wouldn't keep complimenting my skills in the same breath as insulting my style. She knows I smell blood in the water... and all her empty rhetoric has accomplished is piquing my appetite. She relies on corruption and cheating and changing the rules to win... I think she is starting to realize i'm not someone she can read, write, or delete... and that's the narrative. I'm a water-mark, she's a water-color. I'm here to stay... and she's dissolving the closer we get to March Madness.

Steve: Okay, moving on. The favorite going into this tournament hasn't been you... in fact, it seems, for the most part, the other seven competitors have been sleeping on Solace Tatum. How do you interpret that?

Solace: Betsy was the only one who hasn't underestimated me... even going as far as to extend her hand in friendship. With that said, I have great respect for her and there's no doubt that she's an up-and-comer. That makes me... the up-and-comer-second-runner-up. Defeating her would make me the up and comer. I would probably have the right to claim a shot at the Shooting Star championship... who knows where that win would take me? March Madness is one thing, beating Betsy Granger would be everything. With a goal like that... I think it's obvious that respect has nothing to do with this. We both know if it's her and I in that ring... i'm going for her neck. I'll take her on a magic carpet ride so she can see all the places she wants to see before she reaches her final destination... March Madness. I will have your back, Betsy... but at March Madness, i'm going to derail the Betsy-Train.

Steve: Do you trust Betsy Granger?

Solace: I don't really trust anyone... but, in time, I think Betsy and myself will have each other's backs. I did like that moniker she mentioned, "Sensational Solace Tatum" which might be a good one for down the road.

Steve: While Betsy has made nice with you, others in her immediate circle have taken the opposite approach. Shawn Warstein has called Anarchy a show for the weak. Do you agree?

Solace: I think Shawn is so into his own self that you can't really take anything he says to heart. I truly think he's speaking out of turn, but, he has the influence and connections to call himself a legend... I don't agree but I also don't take it personally.

Steve: Do you take being called a sheep and follower personally? He claims you're the perfect candidate to join the left hand, making you weak and unfit for the crown of XWF queen... he asks what you've done and who you've beaten... but then goes on to say you are talented and can get the job done...

Solace: And then that "you can find a Solace Tatum anywhere." He has about the same lack of focus as Miss Fury does. Clearly, judging from everything he's said about me in one chunk like that really solidifies just what I was saying before... he doesn't research, he doesn't pay attention, he doesn't have enough respect for anyone to actually do his homework because he only has enough time in a day to cater to his girlfriend's appeasement.

Steve: Are you a sheep, Solace?

Solace: Sheep? Me? Shawn calls me a sheep? The guy who follows James Raven with the tip of his nose where the sun doesn't shine half the time... the other half, it's in Atara's ass? You're projecting, Shawn... and if anyone does anything with their left hand... it's him. Not to join the cult, but to feed Atara grapes as she bathes his stench off of her body. Shawn, stay in your lane, pal... you never took the time to study me... but I took the time to study you, not that you have to worry about it.

Steve: Now, as mentioned, there's a favorite in this tournament, and it's a person who has mentioned you barely at all... Doctor Louise De'ville. You say you are underestimated and that Betsy could see your potential... even Miss Fury made sure to compliment your talents, as well as Shawn Warstein... but in the end, each have dismissed your ability... Is Doc De'ville dismissing Solace Tatum... or is he hoping you underestimate him?

Solace: I wouldn't sit here and pretend to read Doc's, or anyone else's, mind. All I know is... he called me a piece of scrap that got lost and mixed up in this tournament which tells me he is being dismissive... but I think that he and I share a common enjoyment in life and that is the climb rather than reaching the mountain top. Hey, maybe i'm wrong and Doc wants to sit by himself at the top of the peak, but to get there, he has to overcome Solace Tatum. If he underestimates me it would be like climbing a mountain to reach the top only to realize it's a volcano about the erupt. A doctor who misreads the symptoms is committing malpractice. But his field isn't my specialty, I'm a surgeon and that ring is my operating table. I'm going to open him up and dissect him. I'm sure you'll say some dark shit to me. I've read Edgar Allen Poe. I've seen Sweeney Todd. I like what you do, the way you make Shawn Warstein pray to a different God every night before he goes to bed. After he drinks his milk and puts on his dinosaur onesies then crawls into a sarcophagus near Atara's feet. Doc doesn't think I belong here? Is that his diagnosis? Not only do I belong here, but I damn sure didn't spend a week sucking up to that creepy old asshole. I thought he was a mastermind but now? Pshh. All these people treat him like king shit, but he's not. Not yet.. not until you face me. And since you spent 2 promos pretending I didn't exist... and a third to dismiss me... and a fourth to patronize me... Can't wait, buddy. Better show up.

Steve: That concludes today's interview. Thank you, Solace, and Good luck this Sunday!

Solace: Thank you, Steve.

Steve opens his arms for a hug but she walks past him.
