Welcome to hell

[Brand-X]

Brandon was sat way over the other side of the auditorium with his feet up on the back of the chair in front and was stuffing popcorn into his mouth with the cola resting on the seat next to him. He watched the creature in the ring curiously, it was simply a guard creature and showed very little interest in eating him when he had bounded up to it and whacked it hard over the top of its head with his cane. So now he sat getting a feel for the place and having a conversation with himself in his own head.

"Why are you doing this?" said the first voice, Brandon's voice of reason.

"its fun, thats why. Hitting people is fun, hurting people is fun!" said the second voice, Brandon's split personality.

"Hurting people is not good, we should leave before we get in trouble!" said a third voice, Brandon's conscience.

"Oh shut up all of you!" whispered Brandon himself.

He'd just spied Daneel, the weird thing he'd seen earlier.

voice 2: "look its that weird dude again. I bet he's come after to you for pin pinning him!"

voice 1: "Leave him alone, he might be a perfectly nice person if you didn't keep making Brandon hit people!"

voice 3: "Come on let's go before he comes and hits us?!"

Brandon sat immobile watching the odd looking man/machine.

"Why's he look like something out of a poor science fiction novel?"

The other three voices argued in his head as to who or what the man/machine was.

voice 2: "Lets go and beat him up and leave him for the thing in the ring?"

Brandon took control at last and made a decision.

"We are not going to beat him up, not yet. I want to know who he is and we still need to get out of here and find a place to live."

The voices argued among themselves again until Brandon actually yelled out loud.

"Will you lot shut the fuck up!"

Daneel heard the shout and looked over, Brandon waved at him in greeting and then shouted to him.

"OI! You, machine man, come over here and let's chat and all that kind of stuff!"

Brandon awaited his reply.

[Daneel Olivaw]

Daneel moved cautiously towards the ring. He still wasn't sure if the lunatic that had just grinned insanely at him and waved him to come closer was dangerous. nervertheless, his scientific curiosity led him closer to the grinning loon who was now swaggering about the centre of the ring occasionally hitting the feeding creature over it's head. Daneel had concluded that the feeding creature was essentially harmless despite it's fierce appearance, although he wasn't completely sure on what it was feeding. At the moment his main focus was on the swaggering lunatic, who was watching him approach.

Plucking up some courage, Daneel spoke "Hello? you, up there, what's your name? I'm Daneel"

"Greetings my friend, or foe. A pleasure to make your aquaintance, My moniker, or the name I am most closely associated with is Brandon, Brandon Xavier A'court"

"Hello Brandon, Brandon" Daneel said out loud. internally his brain was scanning all the search engines looking for any information he could find about this weird lunatic who called himself Brandon Xavier A'court.

Preparing himself for a fight, Daneel carefully entered the ring.

[Brand-X]

Brandon bounded around the ring taking swings at the weird little creature in the ring, while part of him was watching Daneel approach. Daneel finally reached the ring and was standing on the apron. Brandon giggled as the creature tore a limb off the meat it was eating. He finally turned to Daneel.

"Do you fight?"

Daneel hesitated for a moment.

"How do you mean?"

Brandon snorted and rolled his eyes.

"This, my weird little friend, is a wrestling arena and most of us odd people come here to seek our fame and fortune and to batter bodies into submission but you don't seem to know your bottom from your elbow thing. So why are you here in my presence?"

Daneel was accessing information on Brandon, it was mostly psychological reports.

"I'm stuck here until I can upload myself to the correct location."

Brandon tilted his head to one side and seemed to be sizing Daneel up.

"You don't know how to fight? Nothing at all? Bizarre! Do you want to learn? I can teach you. Whats with all the strange attachments?"

Daneel wondered when the questions would finish.
