Invitational Battle Royal

[Yvonne Knight]

 

 

Cue the sounds of Queens, Don’t Stop Me Now in the background on the ships deck… The angelic voice of Freddie Mercury ringing proud and true while the camera overlooks the ocean... It is then a voice with a thick accent speaks over the song…

 

“Ladies and Gentlemen of Emerge, beautiful souls, treasures of all walks of life… Es-tu prêt?”

 

The voice trails off for a moment, but it’s undeniable that the accent is French in nature, the translation of the last three words spoken meaning Are you Ready…

 

“You may be sitting down, you may be standing, but you are all wondering who I am, where I am from, what I want, but all of this shall be revealed in due time…”

 

I slight laugh follows, we then see arm sultrily appear from the side of the screen, wrapped around it is a black and blue feather boa…

 

“You see to understand who I am; you need but look to the stars that shine oh so bright in the sky this beautiful evening. An evening where I Zosime Le Beau get to play with each one of you…”

 

A slightly more effeminate laugh emanates from off screen as now the one speaking slowly walks into view with a strut any model would be proud of. They spin on their heels and strike a blue thunder pose pouting their lips for a moment and winking to the camera…

 

“You do not know who I am of course, but you will. You will all feel my touch as we all dance the night away, we shall all create something beautiful together during this delicious ORGY we all shall be taking part in. It is but a shame that we must eliminate each other because if I may be honest with you all, you are all BLESSED because a night with Zosime Le Beau is the true prize.”

 

Zosime bites his bottom lip before smirking, many a thought running through his mind…

 

“And as I look at the potential of the roster EMERGE has, I ask, I ask, I ask myself while looking in ze mirror why has it taken moi so long to come… To emerge… They say variety is ze spice of life, and there is great variety here, the talent is vast, and this is merely the beginning. I look at SCW and I can’t help but get excited for the future. My Future, and that begins when I win this battle Royal INVITATIONAL!!! It begins when on my debut I take this opportunity, I begrudgingly eliminate each of you, but know this… Know this you beautiful souls, I do this for you, I do it for us and our time together. Because I love you all and we haven’t even met, but I intend to get to know you all intimately… Very very soon…”

 

Zosime licks his lips and winks to the camera, the thoughts on his mind aren’t pleasant as least to anyone else but to him.
