Deadblood (Absolute & Mortal Champion)
There's no 'i' in 'team'.
Deadblood seemed confused by Alexander's words, which prompted him to ask, "Is something wrong, Dead? Do you not like the idea of an open contract? Of me testing just what you can do with the Absolute title? Because if you don't, believe me, I can easily find someone else more willing to accept the terms that come with this gift."
Shaking his head, Deadblood said, "No, it's nothing like that. I'm just wondering... who is Sherri?"
"Your manager?" Alexander responded., genuinely concerned now. "Who accompanied you to the match you had against Kizmat? Are you feeling okay? Did you let an EMT look at you after your match? You don't remember Sherri at all?"
"Ohhh, you mean Sheri!" Deadblood said with a small chuckle.
[OOC: Sorry, I couldn't resist. :P]
"Yeah, I think she'll be able to decide in ten days," he continued. "Of course, it really doesn't matter to me who she chooses. I know that my natural skills combined with what this belt can do for me will be more than enough to tear through any opponent thrown my way."
Deadblood looked back at the histogram on the screen, still very curious about just what the exact cause was of the wavelength between the Absolute Undisputed and Undisputed Mortal titles. Sure, he was just as proud to hold the Mortal title as he was to hold the Absolute title and yes, there was an undeniable attraction he felt towards to Absolute title, but that wavelength... was there more to that Mortal title that it just being a trophy of his victory over the Lord of Blood? Was it more than just a visual accessory to the Absolute title?
At these thoughts, in an almost uncontrollable manner, he grabbed bother titles, laying them over his shoulders. Having them there, he could have sworn he felt a strange pulsing from both titles. A strange pulse that seemed to connect to him somehow. He already knew of his ability given to him by the Absolute title to harness the energies of both others and environmental energies, first with the crimson light and then Sheri's telekinesis, but if the Mortal title was reacting to the Absolute title in this way, then did that mean there was even more to be gained through the titles?
Sliding the briefcase across the table towards Deadblood, but keeping his hands on it, Alexander said, "We have a deal then? I don't want to strip you of those titles and kick you out of this company. You've shown quite a bit of promise so far. But you have to understand: this goes far beyond your presence in this company and you being champion. This is about learning just what secrets lie within the Absolute Undisputed championship."
"So basically, I'm your guinea pig," Deadblood replied. Gripping the handle of the briefcase, he then said, "Yeah though, we have a deal."
