The video begins with Lan standing in front of a green screen, him facing off screen giving the camera a shot of his face's side profile. He's dressed in a nicely made black suit with a dark blue undershirt, and he's busy adjusting his cuffs at the start of the video. He glances up from his cuffs and he smiles at the camera, as if he didn't know that it had started rolling. Lan nods to greet the audience and he brings his hands together in front of him.
"Hello Izzy. It's me, Lan."
He waves off any reaction he's expecting right now, asking her to settle down. Along with any fans that might be reacting strongly. After all, in his mind she's probably losing her mind right now. #ITSLAN! pops up below him, a second one #THELAN! replaces it shortly thereafter.
"After seeing what you had to say about the upcoming match between my clients and you, I thought I should come forward and clarify a few things."
He pantomimes a bow, #HOWTHOUGHTFUL pops up underneath him in bold letters.
"Now I want to start with the grievances your friend and you seem to be having about this match. I confess, I'm not entirely sure what those are. If they are about having to face two men managed by me and worrying they're going to gang up on you. Well, I wouldn't sweat it, Caspian and Azul might both be represented by me and be cool, but they're not the type to cheat like that. They'll be competing with each other just as much as they'll be competing with you, it is every person for themselves in this match."
Holding out his hands as if to present what he's laying down, Lan looks pretty pleased with this information he's putting out. Pretty confident that if these are Izzy's worries, they've been cleared. #HONOR and #RESPECTFORRULES flash underneath him.
"And, if the grievance is having to face men..."
Lan looks mildly uncomfortable and grimaces at this thought. #SOAWKWARD pops up underneath him.
"Look across the pro-wrestling scape and I think one thing has become clearly defined by the rosters, whether it is West Coast Genesis, Redemption, or even elsewhere with promotions of today and yesteryears. There are only disadvantages if you believe them to be, weight, height, style, language barriers, and yes even genders. Both champions in West Coast Genesis are women, some of the champions in Redemption are women too, you throw a rock in the wrestling industry and chances are you'll find a woman that is dominating both genders and holding championships. The only thing you're doing by sweating fighting men is limiting and restricting yourself from rising to greater heights still in this business."
There's a definitive passion to Lan's words, he strongly feels what is conveying to Izzy. There's even a grin on his face with how happy he is over it when he talks about throwing a rock. He points to the camera and firmly declares his point of view about what she said if that's her worry. #EQUALITY flashes underneath him.
"Heck, I'm sure there are some that even think you're the favorite in this match. You had an impressive undefeated streak that only got derailed by one of my other clients, who is vying for the top championship on this show."
Outstretching his arms to his sides Lan nods and #NOTBAD flashes underneath him. Regaining some of that seriousness to him, he adjusts his tie and he smiles.
"As for my client that doesn't speak...I thought it would be apparent what the deal with him is really. He's a masked luchador, as such he has a secret identity and to conceal it he uses an alias in the ring, wouldn't work too well if he went by his birth name, you know? On the subject of the name, I'm afraid to disappoint you but he isn't the iconic and loveable Bomberman. Bomberman is more white than blue and has a little pink ball on the top of his head at the end of an antenna. Having seen El Bombardero Azul unmasked, I can assure you, there is no antenna with a little pink ball on the end under there. Think that would stick through the mask anyways."
Lan ponders that last point, he really isn't sure. #SOMETHINGTOTHINKABOUT flashes underneath him while he taps his chin thoughtfully.
"No, his name is a reference to a different iconic figure. Google is your friend in that regard. But that's besides the point."
There's a wink to go with that smile from him when he explains it's a different reference and #MEGAMAN flashes under him. He shrugs his shoulders in an "oh well" fashion.
"Though I can't help but wonder if you are everything you say you are, how can you be so clueless about inhabitants in your Izzyverse? Maybe, and I barely have the heart to dare to say it but, Izzy...doesn't Roxx as hard as she thinks she does? Maybe Izzy is in more trouble than she thinks she is when she's overlooking and being overly confident about one of the challenges in front of her? I don't know, but to me it seems to be that Izzy is..."
Lan beckons the camera and it gradually zooms in on him, practically blocking everything else out of the shot besides his face. He glances from side to side, making sure it's an intimate setting.
"About to be Roxxed."
Wiggling his eyebrows, he grins and it's on this note the scene ends.
