Come One, Come All

[Raditzu]

?Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages!?

A tall man dressed in barber-shop stripes hollered into a bullhorn and waved his free arm dramatically. A cloud of smoke burst out behind him, the results of a capsule. The smoke cleared to reveal a stage and bandstand, complete with T.V. cameras and a classic Big Band. The man with the bullhorn snapped his fingers and the band burst into an upbeat swing number. With a flourish, he leapt up to the stage and stepped to the center, bullhorn still at the ready.

?Come and see a spectacle like you have never seen before! Action! Drama! Adventure! People risking their lives at every turn and facing their worst fears to be proclaimed the most powerful warrior in the universe!?

By this time, a small crowd had gathered around the sight, eager to find out what was going on. Across the universe, television sets were displaying the man?s image and message, even if they didn?t mean to. Families suddenly found themselves staring into the pristine smile of this loudspeaker-wielding advertiser.

?I have two lists sitting here before me, my friends.? A table seemed to have appeared out of nowhere. Two pieces of paper were sitting on top of it, side by side. ?To my left I have a list for those daring enough to risk their lives participating in this event, and to my right I have something for those who want to experience this marvelous spectacle first-hand.?

?What?s in it for us, pal?? A large man stepped forward and looked around the bandstand.

?Please, call my Boz, my good man.? Boz?s bullhorn had been magically replaced by a small microphone clipped to a red stripped lapel. ?And that?s a wonderful question. We have prizes galore for anyone willing to enter this tournament. The wonderful people at Synex Corp. are sponsoring this event and sparing no expenses. All the best facilities, the most fantastic prizes, and huge cash bonuses for all of the participants.?

?But won?t it be dangerous for the people watching, mister Boz?? A small boy waved a hand from the front of the crowd.

?Another wonderful question. I assure everyone here that Synex has gone to horrible lengths to make sure that everything is perfectly safe and regulated. Nothing can possibly happen to those that are just there to watch.? Boz turned to the TV cameras and flashed a toothy smile. ?This is not one to miss out on, folks. It will be televised, but that can hardly compare to the sheer excitement and blood pumping action of Dante?s Abyss!?

OCB: Short and sweet. We all know what?s going on.
