Look +1, Power -2, Real 0, Work 0 Audience +2 | Momentum: 0 Footage of last week's Triple Threat match plays: Le Grande Mort and two mid-carders -- one billed as a home-country hero -- brawling in the ring. The dead man is taking a rain of blows from both men, his costume makeup smeared slightly; it doesn't look good for him. Le Grande Mort (voiceover): "They thought they could defeat me." The two men are shown teaming up to beat on Mort. They are shown doing a bearhug hold/high kick combination; Death sells it like he means it. "They thought they could put me down." The Corpus King takes a rather brutal suplex in the middle of the ring. Cut to a dramatic-angle shot of him laying there, seemingly out cold. The other two men are distracted fighting one another now that the threat has been neutralized. "But they forgot one ... little ... thing." Dramatic music as -- shock! -- Le Grande Mort suddenly sits bolt-straight, eyes fixed on the pair -- hungry for victory, for vengeance. "Death. Doesn't. Die." A series of cuts, each a highlight -- Bam! Spinning heel kick to the hometown champ. Pow! Catching one of the men with a clothesline, knocking him down. A few more spots for good measure, ending on a Tightrope Moonsault into a pin. The crowd is noisily booing the heel's upset victory as he stares -- first at his fallen opponents, and then at the audience itself, drinking it all in. At some point the referee handed him a microphone; he grabs it angrily. "You can try to crush me; you can send anyone you want! But no one -- in this stadium, in this world -- can ever... truly escape... Death Itself." His theme kicks in, all heavy guitars, as he throws the mic down and walks out of the ring. It barely drowns out the crowd's fury at having seen their local Superstar take a loss.

(( Oi, sorry! I got poked, I'm here now.  ))Le Grande Mort Look +1, Power -2, Real 0, Work 0 Audience +2 | Momentum: 0 (Yeah, a pre-taped promo makes no sense here.) The lights drop. Aside from the crowd, there's silence -- but only for a moment. Guitar rolls in, twangy but with a hard edge. In the darkness, the Dead Man Walking steps forth before the titantron -- the effect is to make it look like he appeared from nowhere. Distortion kicks in, a burst of pyrotechnics, and a spotlight. There he is. Death personified -- Le Grande Mort -- walking boldly down the ramp. He stands in the ring, expressionless and hard. As the lights come up, he begins to speak in gently French-accented English, which helps lend arrogance to his already-pompous presence. "So it is you who I am to fight? Hah." That laugh says everything -- he's not taking Mikaela Winters seriously. "Alvarez' cowardice will not save him from his fate. I know he is watching. I want him to know that when I win --" his smug attitude almost gets drowned out by the crowd here "-- when I win, I will be coming for you." He finally acknowledges Mikaela, though only briefly. "It's a shame you have to suffer for a man without honor. I will try to make this quick." He laughs again, a taunting laugh intended to earn more crowd-hate. He tosses the microphone off to the side, out of the ring, and steps back to await the beginning of the match. (Should probably roll +look for Cutting a Promo, right?)

Le Grande Mort Look +1, Power -2, Real 0, Work 0 Audience +2 | Momentum: 0 | Heat with Mikaela +3 Le Grande Mort takes the handshake, but Death isn't one to fight fair -- he uses his grip on Mikaela to whip her into the ropes, an underhanded trick. As Mikaela's momentum leads her to bounce off the ropes, he runs toward her, arm out, to catch her with a clothesline. He's already getting good heat -- no sense not to play it dirty from the start. (Since this's a very in-character way to get things started, rolling +Look.) Wrestling +Look: 2d6+1 3 (Welp.) someone awful. fucked around with this message at 06:11 on May 27, 2015 |

Le Grande Mort Look +1, Power -2, Real 0, Work 0 Audience +2 | Momentum: 2 | Heat with Mikaela +3 (Looked and you're right, I should've had 2 momentum. Dunno how I forgot. Lost 1 and regained 1 so here I am, I guess!) This is just gonna be one of those matches, isn't it? It's hard to not show the frustration on his face as Mort gets back to his feet, and he's gonna be feeling that shoulder all night. Just gotta find a rhythm, he tells himself, and springs back onto his feet. The two trade blows, and the Deadman seems to be losing ground, falling back each time one of her punches connects. When they near the ropes, though, he throws himself backward, bouncing himself off them to get momentum for a lariat takedown. (Dunno if you still want me/us to hold off rolling for a post once we have momentum or not, or what to roll here, but I am posting!)
