🥥 The Foreign Rival

"I must warn, as a Greek hero I might get excited around another guy!"

"Around and round and round..." Andremede smirked.

"Ouch! Just kidding, I love it! Pull harder!!"

"Hmmmm, you're my first student who made it so far without a pulled muscle or a broken joint. I must admit, I am quite impressed!"

"Thanks! But say, your body doesn't bulge with muscles exactly, yet your grasp is like that of a python!"

"You're getting around pythons a lot in Greece?"

"No but I heard they like to twist the victim to crush its bones before they swallow it!"

"Yeah, the Snake Goddess gave me some, umm, extra powers... Wait, did you just say they swallow the victim after twisting it? You dirty Greek!"

"Hehehe, how can I help, that's who I am!"

"Okay cut! Seriously, who wrote this stupid script? I didn't get to bend a single time in almost twenty minutes of screen time! And Yasha gets to fold like a human nightstand, then twist like a wet towel... I wanted to be the human nightstand!"

"Relax, Andrzej, you literally bend non-stop in every episode, so many viewers voted to see you in some normal poses for once!"

"Sure! First you turn me into a literal girl with all that long hair and make-up, next you make me pose for your promo porn every day now, and now I don't even get to do any contortion for a whole episode! This TV series is infuriating! It's all Yasha's fault!"

"Why is it my fault? Come on, blame it all on Yasha as if you're not actually enjoying any of it! Your old short-haired self, a circus boy packed in a bodysuit. It was an eggshell! You have to break from your eggshell. You're not a kid anymore. Can't sit inside the egg your whole life! You need to show the world what a gorgeous chick you truly are!"

"Oh shut up, you stupid Siberian farmer."

"Huh... So what about Jason's reward scene? I don't want my balls bitten off because you're so upset! Perhaps it's best to take a break for a few days and see if we can rework the script to take it out."

"Whut? W- wait, I was sort of looking forward to that scene..."

"Ok, good to hear it. Though it's almost unprofessional the way we have to set your mood for every scene, even if it's your first role."

"Alright, I'm sorry! I'm not inflexible, I swear, I'm just learning. I'm a circus boy, I've never been in movies before. So I get it, it's not the stage, can't expect to be contorted at all times in a movie with a plot written by the other guy. Even if the project is called 'Son of Cleo', who is supposed to be me, yet Yasha gets all the bendy parts in the entire episode..."

"Just open up a little more and stop overthinking every episode when we have over a hundred of them planned! We've already got the story and we're ranking #1 on ContorTV, we've already got more viewers than "The Strangle Book", "Dom & Jelly" and "Alik in Limberland" put together, so stop doubting our strategies already!"

"Alright, alright. Can we get to the reward scene, I think I need something nice to lift my mood..."

"Well, there's a surprise for you Andrzej, because Jason has impressed Andremede so much that now Andremede feels like the teacher has to outbend the new student. The viewers shouldn't get the impression that Jason is so good he literally has nothing to learn from that Egyptian fella. So as Jason's teacher you're going to reveal your true form and impress him..."

"Seriously??? Well, you better all keep your eyes peeled for the finest contortion show you've ever seen! You kept me waiting for so long, now it's some serious payback time!!"
