When Shane's patience brings him no depiction of the XWF's Gladiator on his screen, he begins tapping his finger impatiently as the light thuds are the only audible for several seconds. Thuds that seem to increase in sound- louder, louder, louder until they have started sounding like a horse galloping. Shane swivels around in his chair and is surprised to see a full grown black stallion come trotting in. The muscular animal has horse's battle armor on various parts of its body including its head, and is pulling a chariot; black in color with a few splats of blood dried to the front. Both of its wheels have blades protruding out from their centers that could easily make short work of even a monster truck's tires when they're spinning full speed. Stepping down from the chariot and around toward Shane, our newcomer extends his hand.
Warm tidings as always, my King- The greeting of the XWF's Gladiator rang out strong, clear and pure throughout the land- or Shane's office. Gladiator's deep, powerful, assertive voice makes him sound much heavier than he is, and similar to a stereotypical superhero in nature. The man's words are still echoing as Shane cocks an eyebrow of suspicion at the livelihood of those echoes. Pardon my unannounced arrival, but your majesty, I have come across a problem, explains the XWF's newest beacon of virtue to his ruler. I'm afraid I don't know how to operate a cameraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa............................... yes, in a much lower tone now, Glad is clearly extending the "ah" after "camera" for a disturbingly long while- perhaps preparing to add more to his statement but struggling to find the words? Or perhaps a mere brain malfunction and we've already lost our newest hero of hope? Shane looks about ready to interject a thought when Glad finally does it- he finally appends, while drunk, to his statement. Ah yes, Shane is presumably thinking to himself as he nods his head now, carefully studying Glad's expressions and mannerisms. Shane resembles a fascinated onlooker at an exhibit in the zoo, just staring silently and demonstrating his incredible ability to make this moment as uncomfortable as humanly possible for the new management inductee.
Fuck, blurts out Gladiator in an attempt to break the silence. It won't happen again. I know you expected me to appear on your fancy screen but I just couldn't get the camera working. It had no "on" button. Just please, Shane, stop looking at me like that. But Shane keeps staring and now, begins to smile as he reaches toward his golden potato and lifts the cover off of it. He takes the golden potato, gold as gold can be as light shines up off of it into Shane's maniacal looking face, and then chucks it at Gladiator without warning. Glad cups his hands, fumbling to catch it after it bounces up off of his chest and hits him in the chin. Fortunately for the potato [and perhaps the entire universe?] Glad catches it firmly in his grasp just before it is able to hit the floor. Nearly unable to contain himself as he gazes deep into the golden potato that almost seems to be glowing, Glad waits for Shane's instructions.
