COMMERCIAL: COMICON PART III
PRIME goes to a commercial break but before it does, pages of paper fall from the rafters and down into the crowd.
Richard Parker: What’s going on here!?
The announcers continue to question the events until one of the papers falls on top of Richard Parker’s head. Rattled, he snatches it and uncrumples it with his hands. Nick moves in for closer inspection.
Richard Parker: [Disgusted] It looks like a page from a Batman comic book!?
Richard still isn’t one-hundred percent sure and he’s also not impressed. Then another sheet of paper lands on top of the broadcast table. Nick lifts it up and this also looks like a page ripped out of a comic book, a Hellboy comic book.
Nick Stuart: You’re right, Rich.
More pages fall from the rafters. Many, many pages.
Richard Parker: What the hell is happening!?
One of the nearby cameras attempts to zoom into the rafters. It seems as if someone is running around on the catwalk carefree and throwing pages overboard. Another person is revealed to be doing the same thing. It looks like there are a handful of them up there but their faces can’t be seen as they are wearing dark green robes with their hoods up.
Richard stands and starts to shout into the roof, frustrated and demanding security.
The broadcast feed cuts and goes to commercial.

Which is nothing more than a black screen until the letter C appears.
The C morphs into the word COMICON with a line underneath it. The line moves in decibel waves as a modified voice over speaks.
Disguised Voice Over: Hey guys, thanks for all the comments about COMICON. I just want to say, this will be my last post for a little while and, uh, what this sport has meant to me these weeks, these months, these YEARS, let’s just say none of us are alone anymore, okay?
The voice inhales deeply.
Disguised Voice Over: Tonight are championship matches.
The voice laughs.
Disguised Voice Over: But we all know Brandon Youngblood will win.
The voice pauses.
Disguised Voice Over: Lindsay promised real change, but we know the truth, don’t we? You’ve seen PRIME’s true face now. Together, we’ve unmasked it.
Another dramatic pause.
Disguised Voice Over: It’s fun, it’s exciting, masquerading under the guise of a wrestling company.
A heavy sigh.
Disguised Voice Over: But unmasking is not enough. The day of COMICON is almost upon us.
In a playful tone.
Disguised Voice Over: And now, it is time.
A long pause.
Disguised Voice Over: To go back to your regularly scheduled programming.
The line underneath COMICON vanishes.
The word COMICON disappears.
Only the C remains.
PRIME, eventually, goes back to its normal broadcast.
