: We cut backstage to see a bunch of people gathered around something and looking panicked. There is a lot of shouting and someone is making an X over his head with their arms. The camera pushes through as someone wearing a "Rumor Mill" T-shirt comes running up with a microphone. :
Steve: Hello OCW fans! Steve from the Rumor Mill here to bring you a special report! Just minutes ago there seems to have been a vicious attack. Nobody seems to have seen who the attacker was, but we have confirmation that it was Guy Cashe who was beat down. We will give you the who and why as soon as we get the scoop.

(off camera): NOT IF I GET THR SCOOP FIRST!
: The camera pans over to the source of the claim. Standing there with his trusty pen and notepad is Goodie Reporterson. His glasses seem to sparkle under the lights and his mustache is groomed to perfection. :
Goodie: I'll get this story for the Weekly Earth one way or another, or my name isnt Goodie Reporterson!

Dylan Thomas emerges from the A-List Family locker room, with Lissandra right by his side.
Dylan: So yeah baby, like I was saying, you did a great job on commentary last week but I'm just sorry I wasn't there to protect you against what was her name?
Lissandra: Unique Blossom. It's alright, it's all being handled. You know as well as I do, you don't piss Rob off. She's learning that the hard way.
The A-List couple chuckle arm in arm as they pass Goodie.

: Goodie's eyes widen with delight as he sees the A-List. He quickly pulls out his trusty Notepad and pen to start taking notes. :
Reporterson: A-LIST! A moment of your time, please. Surely by now you have heard about the horiffic attack on Outsider wrestler Guy Cashe. Do you folks know anything about it?

...off to one side of the assorted and various scenes of madness going on, Erin Gordon looks on with a deadpan expression. A swig of beer and she speaks, voice flat as the prairies themselves.
"...just like I never left."
There may or may not be a hint of a smile on the lips of the Oncoming Storm.

: Goodie smiles and politely shakes his head.
Goodie: Thank you for the generous offer, but I must decline. The news never rests and neither do I. I was just hoping that you saw what happened to your fellow Outsider, Guy Cashe.
Post by Lord Allton on Dec 13, 2021 10:55:34 GMT -5
Allton: I understand, Mr. Reporterson. We cannot have these pretenders at the Rumour Mill getting news first now can we?
Allton smiles as he puts some sugar in his tea, before taking a sip.
Allton: Now what's this you say about Guy Cashe being attacked? Awful. Plain terrible. I cannot abide the **ahem** man...... but a random attack you say?
Last Edit: Dec 13, 2021 10:58:42 GMT -5 by Lord Allton

Goodie: Yes sir. It was a most random attack. Nobody seems to have the motive or a suspect at this point. But rest assured, I will get to the bottom of it.
Post by Lord Allton on Dec 13, 2021 11:19:52 GMT -5
Allton: Well Goodie, if anyone can solve the case it's OCW's own Sherlock Holmes! And no I don't mean Mr. Puffer. Or if you prefer OCW's own Clark Kent. Good luck to you, Goodie. I'm sorry I cannot be of further help.

: We cut to RumorMill Steve standing outside a hospital room as Guy Cashe is being wheeled into the room on a gurney. :
Steve: Greeting OCW fans! I'm Steve, reporting from the local medical facility. I'm standing just outside of Guy Cashe's room and here I will stay until the Outsider wakes up. The Rumor Mill will be the first to bring you the identity of the person or persons behind this brutal assault!

: After walking out of the A-List locker room, Goodie notices Erin Gordon. He runs over excitedly. :
Goodie: MS. GORDON! A moment, please. Firstly, welcome back to OCW. Secondly, allow me to introduce myself. I am Goodie Reporterson, reporter extrordinare for The Weekly Earth. I'm investigating the recent attack on "Welfare Hustle" Guy Cashe. You didn't happen to see anything suspicious recently, have you?

PWV Slay Ride Santa Claus, Indiana USA December 12th, 2021(Off-Camera)
Veronica sits in her locker room, kept away from Victoria’s (and hers, but she will never say it out loud) father, Matthew The Raven Knox. She is focusing on her upcoming match against Sebastian Everett-Bryce. At the same time, Marcy rubs the Trans-Atlantic Champions temples gently, and Roxxie enters the room with a few Blue Powerade drinks, handing one over to her boss, one to Marcy. Vee sighs with pleasure.
“Oh, Marcy, your hands are magic. Keep going,” she says to The Head Mistress with a moan.
“What are our plans, Ronnie?” Roxxie asks nervously as she has a match in GM Lord Allton’s and knows Veronica is incredibly annoyed after coming up short at the event, Slay Ride.
“We are going to catch the ride I ordered to Indianapolis,” she replies with her eyes closed, “then we will head back to the Keys on the small lear jet I bought.”
“You bought a jet, Ronnie?” Marcy has a look of excitement, thinking about the privacy the three of them would have.
“Yes, Marcy, I did. The Strader family decided I could no longer use the one we used to go to the Yukon for Death March, and I am not about to start flying with the common people; especially if I need to relieve some… stress,” she says with a grin, as she opens her eyes a tiny bit to look-up at the well endowed Head Mistress. “Chuck is there now, waiting for us.”
“Can’t wait to see it! How are you feeling after your match tonight?”
“Is what it is. Why, do you expect me to be upset?” she asks, eyes closed once again as Marcy rubs the pressure points behind her ears on her neck.
“Well, yeah… kinda. We know you don’t like to lose,” Roxxie says carefully, not wanting to upset her boss, but she genuinely cared about Veronica and was only asking to best figure out how to help.
“I may be Vee, but I am not that Vee. Victoria was the one who couldn’t handle losing a match to someone with many more years experience,” she replies, opening her eyes. She sits up and pats Marcy on her knee to let her know she doesn’t need anything more. “He might’ve been a spoiled rich boy who hates his daddy, but he has years under his belt, and I have learned. If we ever face one another again, the outcome will be different.”
Veronica sits up, and Marcy gets up from behind, giving the locker room a quick scan to ensure the bags are packed.
“Make sure the bags are packed while I go see Roth about the next event.”
Veronica leaves, leaving Marcy and Roxxie to their own devices. The ladies get changed, making sure to leave an outfit for Veronica to put on when she gets back. Marcy is in a form-fitting one-piece grey cotton dress with knee-high black leather boots, while Roxxie is in a pair of blue jeans, black high heels and a white blouse that’s tucked in, and the first five buttons undone, revealing her endowed chest.
“What do you think, Lord Allton have any plans?”
“Plans to have a good show. Why? Do you think there is something sinister at play?” she asks in her reply, moving the bags to the door.
“I don’t know, Marcy. I think Ronnie was right to ask him if he put you and her at ringside to make it seem like shit is on the up and up,” she replies, sitting down on the bench.
“You are overthinking it, Rox. I am going to go find Ronnie. Let her know we are ready.”
Roxxie stands up her mind in deep thought about her match against Matsuda on Monday Night Equality.
OCW Arena Key West, Florida USA December 13th, 2021(On Camera)
~The fans are lively inside the OCW arena and have been since Marcus Welsh opened the doors to the place for the new but successful format of having a 24/7 schedule. Mostly they get Zybala causing havoc and sleeping in the ring, but it is entertaining and is only increasing the companies reputation as an innovator of the industry. Everyone and their grandmas want to be in the company, but applications are not expected. Suddenly “Just a Girl” by No Doubt starts to play, and the OCW faithful are on their feet. They give a pop when the Good Guy Doll head of Vee’s security, Chuck, walks out on stage and the crowd gives The Good Guy a big pop. The fans get more excited as Veronica Strader struts out with The Head Mistress and Rox Gobbler. Vee has a microphone already in her hand and starts talking with the music fading.~
Veronica: Oh it feels so good to be home in the OCW arena. I always feel so icky when I’m not in front of you all!
~The crowd gives their appreciation as the group makes it down to ring side. Veronica picks up Chuck who puts his little arm around her neck and scans around for threats.~
Veronica: In just a few short hours another awesome edition of Monday Night Equality will air here, only on the OCW 24/7 Network. Now as your Trans-Atlantic champion, I’m not apart of the roster but my good friend and part of my entourage is. Roxxie?
~Veronica hands the microphone to Roxxie G. Vee and Chuck along with Marcy lean against the ropes giving Roxxie the ring and space.~
Roxxie G: How are my Goblites?!
~The fans pop and we can see Chuck scrunch his little Good Guy face mouthing ‘Goblites?’~
Roxxie G: Tonight, I am taking on one of Lord Allton’s crew in the dangerous form of Matsuda. Now, I feel pretty good with my good friend Marcy, the head of our security Chuck, and of course our OCW Trans-Atlantic champion, the great and wonderful Mistress Vee!!
OCW Crowd: VEE! VEE! VEE!
Roxxie G: First, Lord Allton, when we came by the family’s locker room, you pondered out loud why I wasn’t involved in the Trans-Atlantic title match at Death March. Well, that was Ronnie’s choice, because she knew Mr. Welsh was going to require a sacrifice, and she wasn’t going to let that be me, or The Head Mistress and you all saw how brutal she was. She did that for Mr. Welsh, for marcy, for Chuck, for me, for herself, but most importantly for you! The OCW Proud, the OCW Strong!
OCW Crowd: O-C-W! O-C-W! O-C-W!
Roxxie G: GM Lord Allton, my friend and boss, Veronica Strader has given me a task, and that task is to win my match tonight on Equality against Matsuda. Don’t worry, Lord Allton; that is my only task. I will not make an example of her unless anything underhanded happens to me, The Head Mistress or Ronnie. I am the Rox Gobbler and tonight I will show everyone why Equality is my show, my brand, and why I am the face of this brand!
~The crowd cheers for Roxxie as she hands the microphone back to Veronica.~
Veronica: Yes you are Roxxie! If anyone tries to mess with this match, you will have not just Chuck here and marcy to deal with, but you’ll have me as well: the Trans-Atlantic Champion…
~She pats the front plate of the TA title strapped around her waist.~
Veronica: You all saw what I did to Fuckin’ Wendy and Whisper Mendoza. Just remember: God forgives.
~Veronica holds the microphone up in the air for the fans.~
OCW Crowd: WE DON’T!!!!
~The Strader sneer crosses her face as her music hits. We go to commercial.~
