The Phantom Skull strides through the corridors, a few of the staff getting out of his way while he is doing so. He doesn't look like the type of guy that would so easily step to the side for them or make any sort of concessions for most people. The outfit he's always seen in is enough to convey this message to anyone that has the misfortunate to meet him. The scowl that is almost always on his face is further evidence of this matter.

The match he has this week is weighing heavier on his mind than he would expect it to be. It isn't his first rodeo, he's been in fights, and now lately matches, before this one. Still he can't shake this feeling he has about the match with Anna, a feeling that's something off about something in his life. Is it even the match? Is he concerned with something else, if so, what?

The Cibernetico?

Kamen?

...Her?

It could be the quiet nature of their lives for the past few weeks. This isn't a bad thing, he'd rather them have a relatively peaceful life for Kamen's sake. But after what's happened, what's been said...it's troubling that there aren't any signs yet. Sickle's warning's rung in his head for weeks now, because he knows that it rings true to how matters like these are dealt with. So if there is no sign of anything...

It means something big is coming.

That isn't good.

He arrives at the location he's been seeking out, okay, it's game time. Skull tries to push his troubled thoughts to the back of his head, leaving them tucked away for another time. Now is time for something else, something equally important. His gloved hand knocks against the door, waiting for a reply from the locker room door that reads "Damien Holburn"...

Suddenly, the camera pans out to reveal Damien Holburn standing behind The Phantom Skull. Dressed in a denim jeans and a black shirt with the sleeves rolled up, Tornado doesn't look anywhere near as intimidating as Skull, but he looks good. Taking a moment to contemplate his move, Damien licks his lips and then deliberately clears his throat.

Damien: "Looking for me?"

Despite Damien's sudden appearance, Skull barely reacts to what would surely have scared anyone else. Instead, he slowly turns his head to the right, looking over his shoulder in Damien's general direction and nods his head. Just once. Damien cracks a smirk and steps around Skull, then reaches for the handle and opens the door to his locker room. Damien steps inside and hits the light switch, bringing the decor of the room into view - a flat-screen television, a wooden bench, wooden wall fittings and a pile of white towels. Setting his sports bag down on the edge of the bench, Damien motions for Skull to enter the room, then begins to unpack the contents.

Damien: "Good to see you, Skull. It's not too often I get a welcoming party."

Taking out a pair of sneakers, Damien gives them a once over, then throws them to the floor. He reaches into his bag and pulls out some pads, placing them on the side, then produces the Undisputed International Championship belt. Holding the belt in his hands, Damien glances at Skull, then places the belt on the towels and continues to unpack as he waits on his guest to make the first move..

PS: Yes, I was.

It's stated in a dry tone that only a man made of bones could produce, and he steps through the door way into the locker room. His glowing eyes are keeping their focus on Damien, save for a brief moment when the UIC is produced from Damien's gym bag. Can't blame him, it's a championship belt that by all accounts his partner was screwed out of and potentially had won a month or so removed. It was Kamen's sole loss in FIW action so far too, something that makes the victory all the more an impressive one for Tornado.

This is partially why Skull's strategizing for their team called for Damien Holburn to be a member of it. The victory is a means that shows he is someone that's valuable and on the level of their skills inside the ring. It also is a means to an end; he is the only one to defeat Super Kamen Ranger in any type of match in FIW so far. Regardless of the way it came about, it's done, he did it and it would be a smart strategy to have that man on your team to avoid it happening again.

Least till, potentially, Kamen and Damien are the final two men.

PS: I'm sure you are, at least, somewhat aware of why I'm here.

He does the polite thing and he closes the locker room door behind him, making their conversation with each other sorta private before he speaks again. It isn't meant as an insult he fails to return Damien's compliment about it being good to see him. That type of stuff just isn't his style; social norms are something of a mystery for him these days. The way he figures it, Damien doesn't want him blowing smoke up him, and so the two of them should get down to business.

PS: We're putting together a team.

Probably goes without saying that Damien's willing to let his guest get comfortable for the time being in his locker room. Shame that his guest is the Phantom Skull, someone else might actually take him up on the standard gesture people give each other. Rather than that, Skull is standing with his back to the door, not that far into the locker room and his arms are crossed over his chest again. The scowl isn't as defined as it usually is, showing as much as a grump like him can that he's cool with Tornado.

PS: We'd like you to be on it.

Some welcoming party this guy is, there's been graveyards that are more cheery than him. Though there is some serious doubt that they were ever as blunt and to the point as Skull is, this conversation is no exception to this either. He puts it out there and he lets the UIC know what their business together is, it's the Cibernetico at Violence Fetish. The Seigi Sentai are co-captains of a team, they are making their team, and they want Damien Holburn as a member of this team.

Guess the ball is in the Tornado's court...

Damien: "Yeah, I'd been expecting this. The fact that Kamen approached me on Sunday was indicative this was coming, but if I'm honest, I wouldn't have expected you to be doing the recruiting."

Standing upright, Damien glances The Phantom Skull over to read his body language. With a nod, Damien takes a few steps forward, bridging the gap between the two men.

Damien: "And I don't mean that in an offensive way, either. I just had Kamen pegged as the guy who would be running around, building the team and promoting the match, whilst you sat in the war room and came up with strategy. But, I appreciate you coming to me, because you're straight to the point. No song and dance routine. No sales pitch. You're building a team and you want me on it. I like that."

Again, Damien nods and looks to his left, staring at the room as he considers the proposition. He licks his lips and takes a deep breath, then turns his focus back to the masked man in front of him.

Damien: "Considering the options I'm faced with - whether I join your team or Krychek's team - I think it's really a very simple decision. It'll be an honour to join the team and fight alongside Seigi Sentai."

With a big ol' grin on his face, Damien extends his right hand to Skull..

Roy: "Any team with Holburn on it must be a yellow bellied team indeed."

Oh, do I hear teen angst coming up? Oh yes, yes I do. With a sneer and a white suit the current reigning (still!) Fighting Spirit Champion makes his entrance abruptly and cuts the foreplay.

Roy: "There's only one team worth being on, and that team is located on Maverick Mountain. It's where the SUPERIOR athletes that actually WIN matches without cheating and deceit!"

Seems like he's throwing accusations into the wind tunnel.

Roy: "You heard me Damien...I'm calling you out coward, I'm calling you out for what you are...a fraud! A two timing double crossing thief who has stolen my luster and claims it as his own!"

He nearly prods the Tornado in the chest, but wiser minds prevail.

Roy: "Why, I dare say that UIC title you hold is probably made out of plastic...You don't look like you got the guts to carry GOLD on your shoulder."

Cocking his head to the left, Damien simply stares at Roy. In an ideal world, he'd ignore Maverick as if he weren't in the room - or this roleplay, at least - but that isn't an option. The longer he stares, the harder the expression on his face. As Tornado runs over the unwanted intrusion in his mind, the frustration begins to build up inside. Damien's right hand clearly balls into a fist and he looks to The Phantom Skull, as if asking for permission, before turning his focus back to Roy. With his nostrils flared, Damien turns away from Skull and takes a single step toward Maverick.

Damien: "Come again?"

As Skull watches, now a background character in this charade, Damien leans in toward Roy.

Damien: "I'd be careful with that mouth, Roy, it'll get you into trouble. I don't care for people stepping into my private room in the middle of a private conversation, throwing childish insults around. And I'd be especially careful about how you use the word 'Champion', considering you lost your Championship belt to Cruz two weeks back. So with that strap on your shoulder, you might want to look in the mirror before calling anyone a fraud, two-timing or otherwise."

Tornado glares at Roy, though rather than return the favour, Roy glances over Damien's shoulder into the distance. Sensing disrespect, Damien adjusts the angle of his body, putting his eyes in Roy's line of sight.

Damien: "Who are you to barge into my locker room and call me a coward? When did Roy Maverick get run of the asylum?"

The two men stare at eachother - Damien seething whilst Roy, not sure how to react just yet, has a look of deep thought on his face. However, it would appear as though Damien is not done. Before Roy has the opportunity to say anything in his defence, Damien raises his right hand and pushes Roy in the shoulder, forcing him to take a step back.

Damien: "Freedom of speech got checked at the door, buddy. If you're going to call me a coward, you better be prepared to throw hands."

Somehow, the initial purpose of this segment has been completely forgotten and Damien stares at Roy, his right fist ready and willing to take a swing at Maverick. As The Phantom Skull remains in the background, Roy gathers his wits..

You'd think that Damien gave Roy a spanking with the Rikishi sized stink faced he carries. He snivels a little and his hands shake in frustration.

Roy: "Well I..."


He taps his finger on his chin.

Roy: "You Uh...."

His eyes blink several times, and he tries to find the words.

Roy: "You're a..."

He looks around the room with a blank expression.

Roy: "You're just lucky that I've...got...other...things to do."

He begins to retreat backwards, he points his finger at Damien.

Roy: "So you count your lucky stars Holburn!"

What a cowardly prick, he slithers backwards out of the room in hopes of escape.

Damien: "Don't let the door hit you on the way out, prick."

As Roy disappears through the door and back into the obscurity from which he came, Damien turns his focus back to The Phantom Skull and holds his hands up apologetically. Looking back to the door, Damien cracks a smirk and he shakes his head, not entirely sure as to what just happened. Slowly, he brings his gaze back to Skull and nods.

Damien: "So, I believe we were about to shake hands and make it official?"

And with that, Damien extends his right hand once again, hoping for no further interuptions..

Everything's going so well, Skull is laying down the proposal to Damien Holburn as it is. Damien is looking pretty receptive of the idea too. He mentions, in a roundabout sort of way, why it is he that came to the Tornado and not Super Kamen Ranger. It's true they are short on time and so it is best for both of them to do the recruiting for the team but there's another reason for his presence. He wanted Damien, from one champion to another, to know that they are serious about their offer to him.

It's Skull's way of showing he respects Damien. He felt the need to come personally to him.

Even if he might never actually say the words to him, it's a bit too mushy for his taste.

This isn't a therapy session to hug out their feelings after all.

It's right as he is extending out his gloved hand to grab Damien's in a hand shake that the locker room door opens. This is forcing Skull to move to the side of the door that he had his back to so that whoever it is can step into the room. He isn't happy about this interruption and even more so when he sees that it is a former champion he beat earlier. The scowl is a little more pronounced when Roy Maverick bursts into the room and he starts throwing accusations at Damien.

His glowing eyes are the only sign he shows that he's aware Roy's in the room, he doesn't have time for people like Roy Maverick. He answering to this delusional idiot is as much a waste of time as it is a waste of effort & energy on his part if he were to. So he stands to the side and he watches, he gives a small nod when Damien looks to him to see if it's alright for him to engage with the man. There are no words or change of expression from him till Maverick's left, embarrassed by the UIC.

PS: Hmph.

Yes, that Phantom Skull, he's really one with his words, isn't it? It's a surprisingly potent statement that sums up his feelings about Roy Maverick's intruding on their discussion. It's all he bothers to waste on the man before his glowing eyes return their gaze to the man who he offered a spot on his Cibernetico team to. The masked man gives another small nod, showing that his feelings aren't too far off from Damien's about the man.

PS: Welcome to the team.

That says it all, doesn't it? His gloved hand wraps around Damien's and he gives the right hand of his newest team member a firm shake. The scowl softens a bit again and there's for the faintest of moments the sign of the right edges of his lips curling. Did Damien Holburn almost get a smile out of the tag team champion? If so, that in of itself is quite the feat for the UIC.

PS: Not to cut this short but I must go, I have preparations I must complete.

There's a double meaning to what he's saying. He has his match this week against Anna that he's got to prepare for and so there's no time to waste socializing, even with Damien. He also has the Cibernetico, he must ensure that they are able to assemble the team that he's charted out for them to gather or risk having to revise the strategies. So their hand shake is at long last broken.

PS: ...Good luck this week against Rowley. I'm sure you'll do well.

My, there's even praise for Damien Holburn and a nice sentiment, Damien's in Skull's Fave Five, I think. It's somewhat amusing by the brief pause he has after he mentions the name of Max Rowley, probably because of his partner. He knows that Kamen's a huge fan of Max and so it's obvious to him whom Kamen's rooting for in that match. There's a bow of the head and with his piece said, he takes his leave from the locker room, leaving Damien Holburn to attend to his business.
