****OFF CAMERA****
An ongoing conversation is in progress. We have no context or information on the participants. Somehow, it seems a certain subject of interest has found his way into the discussion. A dominant, bass voice is that of who we hear first.
INDIVIDUAL #1: “Next is the case of Larry Tact. Is there an update?”
The next voice is much more contained and level, gravelly-sounding and matter-of-fact.
INDIVIDUAL #2: “Yes.”
INDIVIDUAL #1: “Proceed, then. Where are we with his appraisal?”
INDIVIDUAL #2: “Larry Tact is … a more complex individual than appeared at first glance. He possesses a great strength, as well as an adaptable mind. That said, he has … rough edges … a penchant at times to bulldoze through an obstacle, rather than find a less head-on approach. He is not one to be brought under wing … moreso, he is of a mind to walk his own path, and find his way, regardless if it creates additional challenges for him as a result.”
INDIVIDUAL #1: “Overall, are you of the opinion he would be an asset or a deterrent to the mission being recruited for?”
INDIVIDUAL #2: “I am of the belief … he would be a wild card. Larry Tact does not necessarily work under others with the greatest of ease.”
The next voice comes in like slamming the brakes, screechy in tone.
INDIVIDUAL #3: “Sometimes a wild card can be an asset. There are ways of taming such beasts.”
INDIVIDUAL #2: “He would require something of value to incentivize his participation.”
Our last participant in this exchange has a more solemn voice, hitting on the deeper end of the spectrum, and does not seem pleased with the direction of the discussion.
INDIVIDUAL #4: “Would you say he is Worthy of entering The Land? What point is there to allow such an unknown quantity to enter our Realm, should he end up being a deterrent?”
INDIVIDUAL #3: “He brings an element that, should we harness it for the mission, could break through the walls and claim the Item we seek.”
INDIVIDUAL #4: “You would approve a malcontent to enter in order to obtain this Item? The mission is still in the Land. We are NOT to allow those who could cause more damage than progress to enter. What kind of operation are we running here??”
INDIVIDUAL #3: “You would be the fool to not identify a real opportunity to claim an Item after all this time!”
INDIVIDUAL #1: “Enough, this is not a time for shouting. We are discussing the Subject, Larry Tact, and his potential to be admitted to the Land for a mission … … Tell us, is there something that could properly focus him to follow and help advance our cause?”
INDIVIDUAL #2: “There have been tests conducted … he has shown fragments of a time past, involving his brother. It may be something he is interested in pursuing … should there be more to learn …”
INDIVIDUAL #1: “Where is the brother?”
INDIVIDUAL #2: “Gone. Deceased. The circumstances were … difficult. Should there be more to learn about it, our chances of his assimilating for the mission would be more auspicious.”
INDIVIDUAL #4: “You are truly of the belief that this Tact can provide a force that allows us to obtain an Item?”
INDIVIDUAL #2: “Indeed. His raw power and ability to work through obstacles has been growing. It did not take him long to learn of Power he could use in the Void. He has used it regularly since, practicing …”
INDIVIDUAL #3: “He should be brought in. Is it not true that you learned the man frequently contests his abilities in frequent battles?
INDIVIDUAL #2: “Correct. He competes in a professional wrestling promotion called Level Up Wrestling. He has reconnected with this passion that laid dormant for years until recently. He is making strides, rediscovering his true potential and how to unlock it.”
INDIVIDUAL #3: “The man has been tapping back into instincts and his own base Power that could prove quite useful for us. He is also very large and possesses brutish resolve and persistence, both would be necessary to survive.”
INDIVIDUAL #1: “Alright, we will make a proposition of value to him, and see what he can do on the first stage. If he strays, he will be jettisoned and his memory rewritten to eliminate the mission. Any objections?”
A pause, then:
INDIVIDUAL #1: “Do it.”
INDIVIDUAL #2: “It shall be done.”
And so ended the conversation.
