THE BLOOD LUST!



1. John Madison

-- The only person who may crave bloodshed more than me? But I doubt it!

2. Your Angel

-- My Angel has fallen, but he's still better than yours. HAIL SATAN!

3. Lexi Sheckler

-- In the words of the late and infamous Crimson Dong.... "gotta get dat puss."

What the-- Who the hell does Unknown Soldier think he is?

John snaps his fingers while sitting on the throne that Shane gave him.

Lexi Sheckler, take care of this nuisance for me. I simply don't have time this week. I'll be too busy shoving Nightmare's head into a toilet.

The punishment for besmirching the name of a The Black Circle official is beheading. You're not just going to sit there and let him besmirch me, are you?

Prepare the guillotine! (That's you NAZI)

Unknown Soldier: WAIT! WAIT! WAIT! Did he just say that he wanted to besmooch me? That doesn't make sense!


Dante Kyllen: "No, he said you're besmirching him, you idiot."

Unknown Soldier: "I liked the part about the beheading much better."

Unknown Soldier tries to snap his fingers like John Madison, but then realizes that he actually has no idea how to do it. The demonic disciple then just proceeds to stand up from the rotting old couch he was sitting on to turn on a light. Hovering directly behind him and now visible because of the light is two severed heads. One is Johnathan Cable and the other is some stupid blacklisted sore loser from both Soldier and Madison's past.

Unknown Soldier: "I can't help but agree with you here John. Absolutely destroying and making your opponents into room decorations can be an exciting thrill. So I'll let you have your fun this week with your toiletry match. But it is well documented, as you know, that the Blood Lust can never be tamed and I will get my fill. If you know what I mean.... and by that I mean suck the blood out your orifices like a vacuum."

Unknown Soldier: "Can I ask you a personal question that only the two of us could answer John? Do you prefer skull fucking a behead corpse or vaginal intercourse with the headless body? Sometimes, to me, necrophilia just isn't the same when I can't stare into the whites of her eyes while I'm balls deep in her asshole... Know what I mean?"

Are you listening to this guy, Lexi? You wouldn't let him besmirch Shane , would you? This man is deliberately besmirching The Black Circle without fear of the consequences. By spitting in my face, he's simultaneously spitting in yours and Shane's faces.

I shouldn't be here answering questions about committing necro with my girlfriend. By the way, how dare you speak of Flo Feder in that way, Soldier? We all know my fantasy is fucking Flo Feder in her tight ass while Sid Feder's head rolls off his shoulders.

For fuck sakes. If I had a nickel for every civilian who was "out for my blood", I'd quit my fucking job and make a living off of you pricks.

If I had a nickel for every civilian who was a fucking dark Satan-loving face-painted piece of shit, I'd quit my fucking job and probably commit suicide.

I'm just interested in the god damn religion - why are we talking about cutting peoples heads off and fucking them in the ass? This is certainly not our primitive nature.

Now, beheading?...No. There's a time when that is appropriate, and it'll probably never be when I'm around in this company. Beheading is the easy way out. I prefer something a little more sinister. Is that what you want from him, Madison? Do you want to take the easy way out?

I don't think you would be a true Black Circle official if you did.

I just want a fucking fight. Is that too much to ask? Or do I have to suck a fucking demon dick around here.

Unknown Soldier: "I'd be more than happy to supply one for you. Then we can show everyone what you're really good at without the wrestling and fighting."

Unknown Soldier: "And also... I don't believe you are in any position to talk about the primitive nature of my penis and it's persisting urge to fuck any hole it can find. I believe your lacking the proper 'equipment' to generalize on the nature of that subject... Don't you think?"

You will be "sucking demon dick" if you don't bring me Soldier's head.

I didn't ask for an explanation or your opinion on the matter.

You hear this chick, Shane?

All of a sudden she wants to "fight." She probably thinks that collar we threw around her neck is an actual title belt!

Who is she to question my The Black Circle membership? I'll cut her head off then we'll see how much her opinion matters around here.

Now go along and bring me the Unknown Soldier before Shane hears about this.

That doesn't mean you air your grievances or question The Black Circle's motives.

It means you do what me and Shane tell you to do.

Get to work.

What am I thinking?

I can't rely on this woman to do her job. She's too busy being a "fighter."

Lexi go back to being the bullshit fighting champion. For some reason I had the crazy thought that you were looking beyond the North Korean Championship.

Anyway...

Soldier, expect a date with the guillotine very soon.

Shane, make the match. Also, find some competent members who talk less and do as they're told.

You're right. Shane made a bad call when he put the golden leash on Lexi.

It's ok though. We have the guillotine to fix our mistakes. Right North Korean War Criminal?

Fuck, Madison...with all that bitching and whining you're doing Shane might as well have appointed you First Lady of The Black Circle...

There's a perfectly good reason why Shane brought me here. There's an even better reason as to why out of all of us, I'm the one who ended up with the North Korean Championship. It's because I get the fuckin' job done, buddy.

So eat shit and remember that I'll have Soldier's head on a silver fucking platter when I feel like having Soldier's head on a silver fucking platter. And until I decide when I'd like that, the day I take an order from your ugly fucking mug is the day I roll around in my goddamn grave, douchebag.

While Shane's out finding "competent" members (obviously looking in a different location from which you emerged) tell him to stop and pick up a few more anti-feminism lines. What's next, do you need me to fix you a sandwich? Should I be in the kitchen rather than in the ring?

Welcome to 2013, where John Madison possesses a fucking vagina between his legs and the IQ of a mango between his ears.

Unknown Soldier: "I got a better idea. How about we string you up naked and spread eagle to the four corners of the ring, and then run a Saturday Night Train with the entire roster on every hole on your body, nostrils and ears included.

Then we end it all with a massive, blood facial bukkake..

Unknown Soldier: For me, not you Lexi... I respect women too much to force them to take a money shot. No woman should be subjected to that, no matter how good semen is for your skin, that shit sucks when you get it in your hair. Ain't that right Lexi?

Was that Anti-feminism enough?

Unknown Soldier bows before speaking again.

Unknown Soldier: "My name is Unknown Soldier and I'm not exactly 'mildly '. I'm full blown insane! I think that my problem doesn't lie within 'getting laid' because I fuck and get my rocks off over twenty times a day. You see, I'm a necrophiliac and engage in many forms of beastiality. I set my standards low so I'm never disappointed."

Unknown Soldier: "No... No Ms. Shckler... I think the problem is that I can't reach sexual satisfaction unless violence is involved. I believe it's called sadomasochism? You into it? If that be the case then...

Nice shoes....

Don't you think you're being a little bit hypocritical over there, J.K. Rowling? Talking about my worth...Meanwhile here you are, and here I am - both members of The Black Circle.

Membership or not - I don't do the whole, taking an order deal. From you, from Madison, from , from anybody. I'm here because I'm a fucking machine - Shane knows that. His confidence in my ability is enough. It's not my fault that Madison took my words in foul perspective...In all actuality, they weren't even remotely close to insulting his "worth" until he crossed a line.

Respect me, and I'll respect you.

There is no way around this. There's no intimidating me. You can manipulate the idea of death into all kinds of fancy literature like you did there and I'm still not going to care. Don't waste your breath.

Now - both of you: slowly remove the tampon lodged deep into your man-crevices, and let's put our fucking minds together and just beat the shit out of Soldier already...before someone else gets it.

Hahahaha. It has nothing to do with gender. It's just you being put in the position that The Black Circle put you in. We assign you tasks, and you complete them.

Whining? What whining? Are you just making up shit now for the convenience of your promos? I told you to do something. You couldn't do it since you seem to think that title we put around your waist is the real deal. So now I'm stepping in and taking over. That's all. End of discussion. Bye bye Lexi.

Idiot.

Soldier's head is mine now. You had your chance to fetch him for me when he besmirched me. Now that he's besmirched me three times, it's too late. Go away Lexi. Take your title with you.

(02-19-2013, 08:35 AM)N.A.Z.I Said: It is so amusing when you can look at someone, judge their worth and then they open their mouth and prove your assumptions were not only correct but that you can expect their worth to decrease over time. Lexi Sheckler, feuding within the confines of our group shows weakness. Weakness far greater than your condition of being a female. You should rejoice in being a member of The Black Circle, not argue and judge the quality of it's members and our policies by your already seemingly poor standards. That right there will lead to your demise. You think the guillotine is too quick? I assure you I can think of more unique ways to eradicate a weak link. Have you ever been in so much pain you craved death Ms. Sheckler? Longed for the cool and comforting embrace of death after being rendered to nothing more than a mere useless lump of crying and screaming pathetic waste? I know a million ways to enact this onto a human frame so please, refrain from making the decision to allow you within this group regretted. Oh and when you're called a whore please don't help prove the point further by telling a person their problem is they need to "get laid". If we needed to hear the words of a street walker we would have enlisted the aid of Flo Feder or Sarah Saint James!

As for you Dante Kyllen, is it? Unknown Soldier perhaps? I see you're smart enough to leave my name far off your list. We have something in common you and I, making lists. I make lists too, to remind myself of those who need to be wiped out. The ones who need to be exterminated. There are so many. Tell me Mr. Kyllen...you lived on a poor farm in Oslo, Norway, did you not? I've been to Norway...it's nice. So many...simple folk. Were your parents simple too Mr. Kyllen? Your mother? Was she a simple woman? A whore? Did you cling to your simple, whore mother as she took care of you? Is that why you crave the touch of a whore now? Are you trying to reclaim the sick fantasy of fucking your simple, whore mother by fucking whores now? Dead whores? You kill the whores so they can't run away and leave you like your simple, whore mother did? Then the dead whores will always be with you and you can rejoice in the feeling that it brings you that much closer to fucking your dead simple, whore mother...am I right? Is that the hidden reason, Mr. Kyllen? Please tell us more tales of how powerful of a witch your simple, whore mother was. Brag about her more. Prove my assumptions correct about you.

Oh Dante Kyllen..so much weakness resides within you. It permeates your flesh and exudes your very soul. You would have been executed quite quickly in Hitler's reign. Right after your first breath was taken if not sooner. The mentally ill have no place on this planet. Know that when the Black Circle comes for you, no one...not even Satan, will be your saving grace. I promise you, your suffering will be quite legendary....even in hell.
Finally a man who gets it.

It's not about taking orders from Johnny. I do not give the orders, I only pass them along.

It's about obeying the Circle.

Because

Without The Black Circle, what good are we?

I can't wait until we start talking about the polyamorous nature of it as well.

I mean, we all know that S.D. is 'Rock Bottoming Out' in Lexi Sheckler's petunia.

Then, I mean, we have to take into account that I was murdered by the Black Circle.

It was all in Good Fun though.
