Coercion: Introducing Contestant #2

[Veronica Strader]

~ Veronica, followed by 2’5” Chuck, Rox Gobbler and Marcy, calmly walk over to Zybala. Veronica takes the grenade, making sure the pin is in place and hands it to Marcy and puts it in her bra. ~

"Gentlemen, gentlemen… no need to escalate anything here. Jock is just doing what the board is telling him. It’s gonna be fine. Oh, and Jock… if the Purge didn’t stop me… well, I am sure you understand."

~ The trio leave the area. ~

[zybala]

: Zybala looks shocked as Veronica came out of nowhere and stole his grenade. The security looks more calm and smug now. :

Zybala: The fuck she come from?! Bitch just stole my grenade!

[Veronica Strader]

~ Zybala’s text tone goes off and he looks at his phone. UNKNOWN NUMBER but it’s in purple. ~

"Deescalating. You can have it back once you are away from the Arena. You can threaten people again. We’ll take good care of him."

~ Ping! A media message! And it is a picture of the Grenade getting a massage by Roxie, fed by Marcy and Chuck waving a feather. ~

[zybala]

Zybala: Why the hell are they trying to feed an explosive???

:Zybala turns towards the security guards. :

Zybala: Look, I know a few in the Board and they're cheaper than Welsh. How about I line your pockets to let Allton and I into the building so we can get to my office?

[Veronica Strader]

~ Veronica uses some of her techno-moojoo and overrides the TV for a moment . ~

"Roxie said he’s hungry. And that apparently his name is George."

“It is his name! You said you wouldn’t laugh!

~ Veronica looks at us and somehow at Zybala before disappearing from the screen. ~

[Lord Allton]

Allton: Well, Zybala my friend...personally I'm glad. I'm not great around explosions.....

~Allton turns back to the goon squad~

Allton: Now, um... gentlemen.... you saw how *this* went the other day.  Are you quite sure that you want round 2?

[zybala]

: Zybala, taking the lull of the security NPC's handler not responding, walks into the arena. Several moments pass as Allton and the security stand there like NPCs in a RPG game waiting for you to interact with then so they can have life. Zybala comes out minutes later carrying a large box. He loads it onto Quinn and turns to Allton. :

Zybala: I got the shit. Let's go, my Lord and Handler.

: Zybala let's out a 4th wall breaking chuckle. :

Allton: Why do I feel like I've just been staring at...nothing for three days straight?

[zybala]

: Zybala pulls a tranquilizer gun out of the box and starts loading darts. :

Zybala: Have your existential crisis later, Allton. We have people to "convince" to join Survivor.

[Lord Allton]

Allton: This was your big plan to 'convince' people to join Survivor?!!  You're mental! You're insane... you, you, you....

Zybala: Why are you suddenly against my game plan?

Allton: Oh, I'm not.  I think it's genius....

~Allton and Zybala both look at the camera fourth wall style.~

Zybala: You had me going there for a moment.

Allton: I know.

~Allton winks to the camera.~

Allton: C'mon...let's have a practice shot.  I'll find you a target.

~Allton scans the surrounding area and notices the Underdog's Underdog Gilbert getting out of his mother's car.~

Allton: Perfect! Gilbert! Gilbert my boy!  Over here!

Gilbert: O-oh Hi...Lord Allton! H-how....OW!

~Gilbert crumples into a heap, unconscious on the floor.  His mother screams in her car.~

Allton: Madam, your son is fine.  

~Allton gets out his phone and calls a number.~

Allton: Hello, Marcy?  Come to the parking lot and wake Gilbert up, the only way you know how....please?  Come on Mike.  I see it works perfectly.

Zybala: I'm not having Gilbert on Survivor........

Allton: Pfft.  Of course not. It was a trial run...

[zybala]

Zybala: Hold on. Before we go....


: Zybala then shoots a few security guards and gives the others a chance to run. :


Zybala: That's for giving us so much shit!

: Turns to the box and reloads. He then looks at Allton. :


Zybala: Shall we?

[Lord Allton]

Allton: After you....

[zybala]

: Zybala nods and hops on Quinn with Allton. The pair head of to find the next "volunteer" for Survivor.... and Jock Reasoning. :
