==================================================================
From somewhere in the backround, the strains of a lovely melody begin.
We hear the stereo turned up, and a light comes into focus. The camera is
pulled into view by the man in the chair-Erik.
And I'd give up forever to touch you
Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to Heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now.
"My sincerest greetings authors of the Dead Dolphin and Flogged Horse
list. And may I comment on the splendid irony of that particular name. In
fact, irony and humor are one of the things that I hope we may come to
agreement on, though I sincerely doubt it shall come to pass. I will
however, give you the correct information regaurding my own personal
atributes and you may do what you will with it. You 'free will' humans will
anyhow."
Let's start with my relationsip with Charles. It seems that you are all
confused by that, what with half of you painting us as enemies, and the
other half seeing us as star-crossed lovers of some sort. Rather a naive
and silly notion that. But, I digress. Charles and I were former lovers.
Were, being the operative word. We do not speak now, much less indulge in
extravagent vacations at exotic locations. You're living in a fantasy world
if you believe that, and a rather foolish one at that.
The fact remains, that while there may be some residual feelings, we are
simply too differnt to make it work. For God sakes, he still thinks we can
all drink tea and eat crumpets and play nice. I grew up and Charles never
did, it's as simple as that.
By the way, anything Charles says on this subject it sn utter lie. How
could such a revered and loved man do such a thing? Well, he's human, and
is simply trying to save face in front of his lemmings. Sleeping with the
enemy, is oh so taboo. However, there's an old saying, keep your friends
close, and your enemies closer. They forgot one major component, keep your
enemies that you sleep with closest of all. Don't believe me? I have
pictures, of course it would be a great breech of trust to show them too
you. I however, unlike Charles can do whatever is necessary in any given
circumstance.
And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
"Now, moving along. I must say I am quite unhappy with the way I am
portrayed in your little 'fics.' I come across as evil, bastardly,
uncaring, maniacal, obsessed, depressed, pessemistic and unhuman. I am very
much human thank you very much. I have seen the depths of human cruelty and
suffering and I get quite irritated when you so presumptiously assume that I
am nothing more than a cold and distant old man with no capacity for human
caring.
The truth is, I have lived through more emotional trama than anyone
should ever face. I don't feel sorry for myself for it, and you are a
troglodite if that's what you believe. I cannot stress how much one's
experiences shape an attitude in this world. I may have adopted a completly
different ideology if certian things hadn't happened. However, there is no
turning back the clock, and what's done is done. All I ask is that you
please consider that when you write about me in the future."
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah, you bleed just to know you're alive.
"I assume that you have all seen the recent blockbuster, loosly based on
the characters of Charles' disciples and my own motley crew? If so, then
you are aware of several character assassinations that took place. Now Ian
McKellen is a tremendous actor, and I cannot think of a more appropriate man
to play me than him.
However, there were points within the plot where I felt the man was
overacting. I would never say such a thing as "You must be Wolverine" in
such a surprised tone. I would hope you all realize that if and when I
track somebody I know at least basic information such as their name and
location. I would never send Creed out into some unknown location of Canada
to retrieve a man like the WOlverine. Creed is too valuable to me for to
waste in such a way.
My reaction to placing the girl was also taken a little bit too far. I am
not the cold hearted bastard that Brian Singer would have you believe. Did
you all really forget that I have halped Charles before? He could never
have gotten out of that swamp alive if it hadn't been for me. As for Rogue,
I had no intention of killing her. She had already absorbed Ms. Danvers,
and is virtually unstopable. That, plus the fact that should an accident
occur, her rather brave boyfriend would have done anything to help her as
well, takes the real danger out of the situation. Wouldn'd you agree?"
And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
"Now moving on to my last request. Why must you always portray me as being
a stotic, humorless old fart? I happen to possess a very healthy sense of
humor. I shall tell you a joke, to help illustrate my point.
Jesus Christ walks into a hotel. He hands the inn keeper three nails, and
he says, can you put me up for the night?
I trust I made my point. Please, if you insist on making me an asshole
of sorts, at least give me a sense of humor. I'm old, that's one of the
only things I have left.
Well, it has been absolutly delightful getting to speak with all of you,
but unfortunatly I have other engagements to attend to. Trying to take over
the world does take up a considerable amount of time you know. Take care
then, and keep writing those delightful stories, but please, give me a
little credit hmm?
And I don't want the world to se me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
The camera is snapped off, and the room is bathed in darknes.
