"A man once said he'd rather be lucky than good...that man was an idiot."
We fade in on Evan, bouncing a ball off the metal walls of a truck container as he huffs a breath, the starts of the wilderness aligned behind him and the moon in perfect vision as he keeps it up.
“I already discussed Battle royals and why I’m not fond of them and why I tend to drop into them anyway, Saying the same things for the people who didn’t listen the first time is a waste of my breath, and worse yet a waste of my time. As it stands We have some to talk about another thing the roulette offers to anyone willing to have the luck and skill to win and that is of course. Opportunity.”
He shook his head.
"Sounding like a skipping record again but it’s true, The roulette is the chance to go for the big belt, the show the world that you are in fact worthy, and we’re all going to be there., current champions expected, and we’re going to try and capture out chance and we’re all going make friends, allies and enemies quicker than than we break them in that match because it’s a fighting pit, a pure unadulterated mash of limbs where the lucky and good survive and the unlucky don’t. That simple.”
He starts to sway bit in his spot as his eyes focus once again on the moon and he spoke softly.
“Oh , Luna…Guide me in this, because this isn’t a hunt, girl this isn’t a face to face confrontation, this is…chaos… madness, war, a sea of bodies that I have to restrain myself in, stop form going to far or it’s up and over and done… Any hints?”
The moon is silent but Evan listen anyway , for the longest time, the light on his face as he breathes a slightly frustrated breath.
“Thanks anyway..”
He gives a slight smirk.
“Back to my point, I am however and still training my ass off for this, Why? Because like everyone entering that ring I want to win Dammit.. I could single out individual people but we have time yet, right now I’m addressing everyone, I see you, I hear you hell in some cases OI smell you. I’m not stupid I can see the target I painted on my own back, I can see the legends and the experts all waiting in the wings for that surprise appearance to get their shot at Warren Kane.”
He looks down at his hands and idly rubs at his fingers.
“Other title shots pending for now, the world moves fast and the mountain is high, I’d uses some other pithy nature pun but let’s face it, you’ve heard it all before , haven’t you? The whole point of this is to dangle the bait and see who bites..”
He looks up to camera again with a wry smirk.
“That’s right boys I’m talking to all of you, Dean Harper, Ulf Hednir, Jack Ferriman.. Andrew Jacobsen, JC Keaton. Roberto Verona. I know you’re all watching All on tender hooks seeing who says what, sizing up the competition like the good apex predators you are, this is where t hunt is and I know it.. Looking at who are the easy marks, who to stab in the back who makes the easy con, who isn’t so spry on their feet who the big knucklehead is that needs taking down and is perfectly aware of that.”
He chuckles a little and shifts to drop his legs out the container with a wry smile looking once more towards the sky and rubbing his face and smirking.
“I’d rather be be lucky –and- good. So let the wolves run and let the sheep hide and let those of you who think they run with proverbial big dogs start saying your phrases examining your prey, picking apart arguments, because this has only just begun and it’s a marathon, not a sprint boys.”
A nod even as he takes in a deep breath and finally hops out the container the camera hot cutting to his face as he starts to walk away from the truck container.
“I Intend to go all the way, but intent is nothing without drive, and those of you who’ve met me before know I have plenty of that, plenty to dish out and plenty to take from all involved. I’m not going to so easily cast aside or thrown away this time, I’ve learned my lessons , taken the shot to my pride and come back smarter, stronger and faster.”
He grins.
“So, gird your loins, stretch your muscles, take a breath and howl at the moon.”
He nods.
“Because Roulette starts with bets getting placed before we spin the wheel.”
He starts to walk away from the camera.
“Let’s see how the ships fall..”
Fade out.
Well howdy there pardner.
