(Preshow) Staging Area

[Marcus Wright]

The desert heat at times made Marcus’s skin percolate with sweat as he wiped off drips coming from the skin on his face.. He didn’t need to eat or drink in the desert, but the machine man kept it on even though he was covered in visible sweat.

Coming inside was a welcome change when he noticed several folks and also a fancy looking man with a suit, appearing to be interviewing a… fox ? He shook his head, it’s not like this was anything new.

The former ex-killer held a few things inside the trench coat as the fancy man in the coat came over to Marcus sticking a microphone uncomfortably close to the man’s face.

“HEY! My name is Ron Burgundy.. I’m with the Omniverse News network… I appear to be with a man who is participating in this expedition that our dear Karl Jak is planning..

Marcus was sort of annoyed since the microphone was in his face and soon he was going to be all over live tv.

“So stranger…. Who are you?”

….

…. Isn’t a name

Well If you insist and could stop sticking that damn microphone in my face, My name is Marcus…

Marcus Wright..

Ron Burgundy blinked and spoke up again, sweat dropping “So there you have it, folks, we have yet another prime on air for all to see.

He straightened his trench coat and moved over to the vendors… He noticed a cheesy little bobblehead of him with his head moving around and shook it.

“Is this some damn JOKE?”

The vendor smiled “Er.. No.. No sir… it’s a collectable of you for being in the expedition!”
