.....To Eternity ...And others (4 way and Invitational RP)

[Deleted]

Legion, Diamonds, A rain of pain and a fight for a legend.
Pandora had to appreciate that the idea was worth going for, plus how many shots was a lady gonna get?

Not many to face in front of Eternity and go at it as hard as they can go.

So the muse had been spinning , sand she’d sought her refuge in one of the few things that made sense, she didn’t have family she didn’t have friends to turn on, she only had a mirror and the support of those on Twitter, what little was.

Spin the wheel.

So we join Pan at the keyboard, no head phones and dressed in her ring gear, idly tracing over the notes and taking a moment as her smile stays graced on her features.

“She’s like a Flame and I’m like a Moth, She stands there, perfect, uncaring, a moment of cacophony , un beaten unbroken , Eternal…”

She chuckles a bit.

“And a Lie.”

She plays a few notes, chords and bars , C.. F ..G back down as she starts to form the song ‘Frère Jacques’ that smile starting to form hon her lips a little more as she eyes into the camera.

“You sit, Queen of the castle, and we’re the dirty rascals trying to climb the mountain, there can of course only be one, and that you, given the almost insurmountable task of taking on the entire roster, hell of a song to sing, and some would think I’m an idiot for coming out to face you, to fight you.”

Pan has to beam brightly.

“But I gotta know Eternity, Pandora by name, Pandora by nature, my curiosity drives me and my box of tricks into your zone of comfort, why? Because I –want- to , does it matter if I win? Hell I’d like to, But the thing is, this isn’t about –beating- you people keep bringing up the same point about you eternity, and I hate the cliché but I’m not afraid of you.”

Lets give that a couple of seconds to sink in.

“If anything I wanna see if I can hang, I wanna see if I’m good enough to last and I wanna take everything you can give and so much more Eternity…No…it’s not about victory This is about me facing myself…And that Is much more dangerous enemy than you, even if there is a little bit of me in you , That’s your secret …You’re in me.. I’m in you. Yes Eternity let’s see how much We have.”

She manages a small giggle even as she stops playing her tune considering her options just a bit.

“Life’s too short to hang around, and nobody gets out alive, that’s the motto right? I mean the world is sad, mean and violent place and sometimes the only sane reaction to it is to smile and say ‘I’m doing my thing’ weather you like it or not, I don’t care how many times I get beat, Or how many times I win, I just know the beat don’t stop, you hear? You get knocked down you get back up, you learn, you grow. But I gotta go one step further, Some folk will tell you that you can’t do something . So I do it. Why? Because I gotta know.”

She lifts a finger and clicks, and once again the scene shifts to Pan mid work out eyes string up in determination as music rattles in her ears, the beat over riding everything as we line in Pandora’s voice, good old vocieover.

“It’s an obsession, To prove others wrong, it’s a desire, to be what everyone said wasn’t possible it’s a middle finger to the authority that tells you every night to eat, sleep, drink repeat, obey consume, obey ,consume. I live my own damned rules, I decide my path, not you.”

She’s reading a comic book eve nashi runs the treadmill, the colored ink pages of Tank girl visible in all their glory, Pandora is laying herself bare once again for all the world to see, because that’s all there is, Wear your heart on your sleeve and live, because there’s no other way to be if you’re Pan, no choices no A or B.. You just act and see where the dice roll.

“And always the unending beat, a drum snare o f your life, picking up with excitement, fading with your sadness, it’s strong it’s lively and it is Eternal, like the music, Eternal understood on a level you can’t put words to, no age, no color no bias it just is. Perfect.”

She’s still running enemy she grits her teeth trough the burn that follows, it makes her smile because life is pain as much as it’s pleasure you have to accept both like it was a sister.

“So Why fight Right?!"

The Grin spread a little wider.

" I have the music I have the fame and money form standing in front of adoring crowds swaying to the beat like I was a maestro, why do this? It’s simple. I fight because I can, I fight because it makes me feel as alive as Stood behind the decks slamming to the beat or dancing, and most of all? I fight because I like it.”

The camera focuses on that smile and her eyes looking dead ahead as she runs.

“I’m running towards the cliff and I’m looking to dive off to see where I land if only so I can feel the wind on my face before I can fall, Eternity waits for me, Fiona ..Waits for me Crystal waits for me and Paige , she waits for me too, I’m not going to point out the obvious We’ve said just about all there is to say these days, it’s simple We’re going to go out there and we’re going to beat the living hell out of each other.. an d for the first time? I feel free.”

And other click of fingers and we cut to Pan dancing in the night club, arm wrapped about another girl, all close and smiles, eyes closed as she enjoys the scent, the sweat and the beat.

More voice over.

“The Ecstasy of gold lays in the air like a Western, the competitors stand In their circle looking to make the first draw and all the while all I can think of is the moments where fist meets flesh and the crowd roars, all there is the song of violence , that breaks the silence.”

The camera seems to make time slow down as seta rolls along skin and eyes meets eyes and the beat just keeps on going , smiles of flirtation , the whole world fading away beneath the steel sky of the warehouse ads the camera watches them kiss, almost voyeuristically.

“In the end, there are no regrets, just a beautiful song crafted with our skill, our will to be the best we can be and the desire to be better, stronger. Whilst I sit here and Write this before putting it on tape, I wondered should I make two promos, should I address Eternity Separate? And then I realized the truth of it, Eternity isn’t any different form the rest of us, why should she get any special treatment, she’s the same, from here to Eternity, Broken, beautiful, Beatable, that doesn’t take k away from her, she is still eternal, but she is not insurmountable. But I am stronger than anyone thinks I am, Paige, Fiona or Crystal and they’ll see…I’ll show them.”

Cut to daybreak where Pandora, still in the same dancing outfit from the previous clip sips on a coffee and listens to music from headphones, watching the sunrise with a serene smile on her face.

And still the beat goes on.

“I’m not an Iron woman, I’m not a former champion, I’m not Shield Maiden, I am writing my own song with my words and deeds, and I think it scares some of you just how quickly I’ve come up here that I stand in front of you and say ‘I belong’ It’s going to be chaos, and cacophony , four bodies will meet and only one will stand tall, some will cheat some will fight , some will do both and really? I wouldn’t have it any other way, anything else would be dull.”

Serene clam, nothing at all wrong, the sun cresting fully over the horizon as Pan looks at an empty coffee cup.

“ So ladies, bring your words of derision , you measure of my worth, I don’t care anymore.. What is defeat if not another lesson? And what is victory but just a note of how much you’ve all taught me? Do your worst.”

She looks into the camera with a wink and a smile to blow a kiss that way.

“ We’re going to make some beautiful music together…from here to Eternity.”

After the camera had stopped, she looked at the words on page , fluttering in the breeze as the still wet ink started in her face and she realized she’d have to put all this to some sort of video, part of her wondered if her dad was watching, wherever he was, whoever he was ,that little darkness shuffled away as she shook her head and idly played more on the piano.

London bridge is burning down…

She looked at her phone and then about the empty apartment, what was it she was as sacrificing by charging off for this fight, Did her peers even actually like her? She wasn’t even so much afraid of being unwanted or alone, hell fear was still an alien concept.

No regrets was all she knew and right now? It was working but she wanted, no needed more.

Maybe she’d find her answers in front of Eternity, or under her or on top of her as the crowd roared.

And she smiled as the chords came together and she called her mother again to get the good luck message she already knew was coming.

Let’s do it, let the Beat drop.
