(Takes place before the show at Wrestle: UK)
Outside of a casino in Las Vegas, “Zolothach” Tabitha Osborne and “Apathy” Elizabeth Devereaux-O’Rourke watch as several bodies are being taken out through the front doors. The casino remains open through the mess, people walking in and out of the casino as the bodies are being moved.
Tabitha and Elizabeth walk into the casino to the site where the bodies were carted from. Blood stains the floor and some of the furniture. Tabitha zones in on what looks like an inky black slug.
Apathy: What are you looking at?
Tabitha Osborne: An eldritch being.
Apathy: What now?
The inky black slug flies into the dark shadows of the corner of the room where a pair of eyes can be seen in the darkness. Sticky the Clown steps out of the shadows with a wide grin, his needle sharp teeth piercing black gums so that a black ooze can trickle over red lips and onto his chin.
Sticky the Clown: A horror in the dark. Nothing less, maybe more. Why are you here, Zolothach?
Apathy: It knows you?
Zolothach: We have fought before. Why are you here? You switch teams to Isabella’s side?
Sticky growls, a disgusting gurgling sound.
Sticky the Clown: I do not serve that pretender. I was tasked with bringing her to Armand, but Alexis Logan laid me low.
Tabitha reaches out to where Sticky’s torso is still reknitting itself into a whole. She grins with an eyebrow raised.
Tabitha Osborne: I can attest to that not being an easy task. Where is Alexis Logan now? Do you know?
Apathy: The fool was dead…or something close to it. He won’t know.
Sticky knocks Tabitha’s hand away from his chest and leers at Elizabeth.
Sticky the Clown: Even as my body was apart, I still have my senses. Isabella had dispatched an assassin to kill Armand von Krauss. They think he will be weakened enough to finish off.
Tabitha sighs and opens her mouth to speak, but Elizabeth cuts her off.
Apathy: You’re not seriously thinking of trying to save Armand von Krauss?
Tabitha shakes her head, her eyes on Sticky.
Tabitha Osborne: Let Isabella have him. I want Alexis Logan. She is a threat to me and my friends. I won’t have Rand, I won’t have my friends hurt. Where is Armand?
There is a silence that hangs in the air. Is Sticky unwilling to help? He shows his teeth in a growl.
Sticky the Clown: I only give you this info if you help save Armand as well.
Tabitha Osborne: Armand doesn’t deserve saving.
Sticky the Clown: Then neither does Randy Angel.
Apathy: Zolo, maybe think about this.
Tabitha grits her teeth and clenches her hands into fists, subconsciously calling upon the energies of the spectral razor. Her fists begin to glow as the power builds. She releases her pent up breath and unclenches her hands, the power fading away.
Tabitha Osborne: Fine. We will…we will make sure that Armand remains alive through this.
Sticky the Clown: He’s in London at the O2 Arena for a Wrestle: UK show.
Tabitha blinks.
Tabitha Osborne: That’s where I’m going to wrestle for a one off. Apathy, we should go.
Tabitha Osborne and Elizabeth Devereaux-O’Rourke make their way to the exit and presumably the airport.
