Setting: The intersection of Jane and Finch, Toronto, Ontario
Trekie arrives on his bike, which is promptly stolen while he is opening his lock. He mutters "Son of a whore."
He strides to the centre of the intersection and calls out: "Come face me Gamer you chode!"

Suddenly the clouds above darken and the sounds of thunder grow louder. With a fantastic blast of light a bolt of lightning
strikes the ground 15 feet away from Trekie. In its wake lies a human male, curled in the fetal position, fully nude. Gamer_2k16
awakens from a long slumber and stands up. The pimply face of the oughts has given way to an Edward James Olmos-like face
complete with dermal scarring and decent jawline. The volumes of curly hair have transformed into a modern, short haircut.
On his face lie a pair of sunglasses, much like those Rowdy Roddy Piper wore in the 1988 cult film "They Live."
His Unit is visible. It is wrapped around his waist: limp, but majestic nonetheless.
As he stares down Trekie, another loud blaring sound can be heard, this time at ground level. As if suddenly out of nowhere,
the Batman Forever Batmobile rolls up beside Gamer_2k16. His steed has entered the ring.
He reaches in and pulls out the Buster Sword. Finally, he lets out the words: "If you don't accept the capitalist
way, you're nothing to me but bum dust."

"Never! I refuse to contribute to the economy in any meaningful way!" replies Trekie and he withdraws a Bat-Leth
which was concealed about his person. "Let's do... THIS!" He cries.
The emphasis on the wrong word throws Gamer off momentarily and Trekie takes the offensive trying to use his dual blades
to create an opening. Gamer manages to maintain his guard and with a kick to the chest pushes Trekie back, allowing him to
make use of his superior range.
"That weapon is extremely long." Says Trekie, very consciously keeping his eyes above Gamer's waist.
Unable to close the gap he launches himself backwards, rolling to disappear behind a transport truck with "Laughter,
the Best Medicine" written on the side.
