This is the place where the burritos--I mean roleplays--go.
Hype: Legion's acquisition of The Experts has begun a chain of events causing concern amongst the board...and they've elected MDK to snip the problem right in the bud!

LEGACY TOWER - 2013
We open at the press conference held by The Experts as they announce their shutdown...but soon we rise above, finding ourselves in a dimly lit conference room. The silhouettes of a group of people are sat around the table as the doors open, revealing a familiar face.
"So good of you to join us, Mr. Azula. Please, have a seat."
Legion takes a seat at the table, a big smile on his face as the group continues to speak.
"You seem all too happy about this shutdown, Mr. Azula."
"Of course I am. To me, this company has meant nothing but misery...and today, I get to watch The Experts crumble before my very eyes. I've tried so hard to tear it down myself, but I'll settle for outside circumstances doing the job."
Legion chuckles, but the group before him find no humor in this.
"We have a vested interest in The Experts, Mr. Azula...we need this place intact for what we have in store. Despite what everyone is led to believe, The Experts is not shutting down...it's simply going into dormancy, and we need someone to hold the keys until we call for it to open again."
Legion scoffs at this, until the group presents him with a key and a briefcase. The case opens to reveal an undisclosed sum of money, and we can practically see the greed in Legion's eyes.
"We can of course pay you handsomely for the deed, and just think...you can say that you own The Experts. Wouldn't it be nice to say you own your competition? We never forgot about The Collective, Mr. Azula...we know you wanted this kind of power."
Legion slowly nods his head as he is presented with a stack of papers, with the Experts logo emblazoned on the top of the front page.
"Just sign on the dotted line, and it's all yours."
LEGACY TOWER - PRESENT DAY
The board has just dismissed after Legion's announcement of the return of The Experts, leaving the new Overseer alone with his chosen General Manager, Timothy Kahrs.
"So, who's the first invite going to?"
Legion just smiles as he looks over a list he put together himself. At the top of that list...Danny Tenegra.
"Well, I've got a bone to pick with one MDK...let's send him one first. Let's see..."
Legion looks further down his list, noting several names along the way.
"I haven't heard from a bunch of these TFWF and VWF people, let's see if I can drag them out of retirement. Mark Mania is a name synonymous with The Experts, I'm sure he'd like to get in on this show. And just for fun, send an invite to James Raven...tell him you need a representative from BCW."
Legion laughs at his own joke, one that Kahrs doesn't find as humorous.
"And what about the True Expert Championship?"
Legion just smiles as he walks to the window, looking on at the Legacy Plaza with glee.
"Jack Benevolence has that covered, but just in case, we'll send a little reminder to Doug E Fresh."
Suddenly, the phone rings. Legion walks over to answer it, and a familiar voice speaks on the other end.
"Hello, Legion. Having fun with your newfound power yet?"
"Absolutely. What's the next move, Eris?"
"We take back what's rightfully ours. What we started ten years ago, we finish in Siberia."
Legion's smile turns to a grin from ear to ear as we fade to black.
***
[Play.]When I formed The Collective back in 2008, it was only the start of my war against the natural order of things. I hated Jesse Gunn with a passion, but the only thing I hated more was what he stood for. They called him The Knight, and I hated the idea of chivalry and justice even then. So, when that project failed, I had to come at this from a different angle...and it was then that Chaos came into my life. I began plotting my revenge, and every chance I had I went after The Experts, only to fail time and time again. Eventually, I'd given up on the whole thing...until I found out I won the war without fighting the battle. The Experts was handed to me on a silver platter, and I couldn't have been happier.
So why now, you ask? Why did I bring back The Experts after five long years of radio silence? Honestly, it wasn't my call to make. I serve a greater purpose now, the purpose of throwing a monkey wrench into the world's machinations...the purpose of Chaos. I was called to resurrect The Experts, and to bring these fools back into the dangers and perils of the Siberian Prison, all for the sake of bringing Chaos back into the equation. I was given a special reward for this task, one last crack at the man that ruined my life so many years ago...Danny Tenegra, a man you all know better as MDK.
Danny, you have no idea how long I've waited to get my hands on you after you kicked me out of the One Ring Circus. What you did that day sent me on a downward spiral that ended my career and nearly ended my life...until sweet, sweet Chaos entered my life. I was given a second chance at a first impression, and now I serve my Goddess by bringing her a sacrifice of the most dangerous man in the business. Oh, how sweet it will be to deliver your head on a gold platter to my sweet Eris. Oh, sweet Discordia, she has called me to destroy you with the world's eyes set firmly on Siberia.
When all is said and done, I will celebrate more than just my victory...I will delight in the wonders of Chaos as it falls upon the whole world. What we do at the Experts Invitational will only be the beginning of what my Goddess will wrought upon humanity. Every knee shall bow, and every tongue will confess the authority of Eris, and Discordia will take her rightful place at the throne. At the Experts Invitational, you and everything you stand for will come crumbling down...and chaos will reign.
