Lead by Example

[OrochiGeese]

2/20/06


*Holly is walking down a hallway, but not one in Orochi-O's Inc as she so often does. Instead, she is walking down a noisy hallway at a hospital in NYC. She approaches the door guarded by a big beefy security guard...one who, in the last week, has had his post temporarily changed to this location.*

Holly: "Hi Figaro, how is he?"

Mr. Figaro: "He's doing better...he's started walking and seems to be getting his balance back. It doesn't look like the fall had any major long term damage."

Holly: "Any NOTICEABLE long term damage at least. As its got to be impossible for a man, even someone as strong as OrochiGeese, to take a fall from the top of the turnbuckle to the floor...land on his NECK...and not have any long term damage. Even when he does get himself back in the ring, he's gonna feel it."


(OOC: This is in reference to the latest PW-W show, Premium.VOLUME where OrochiGeese was pushed from the top turnbuckle, sending both him and Twinky McLanahan crashing to the arena floor on their necks)


*Holly hears a somewhat familiar female voice inside the room that Figaro guards.*

Holly: "I take it that's not the nurse..."

Figaro: "I think we both know who's in there with him. And well..you might want to wait til she leaves before you talk to him. As amusing as your interactions with Celes are, I don't think Geese is up to it right now..."

Holly: "No, not this time...I mean, I'm actually glad she's here too...as I want to talk to them BOTH."

*Figaro gets a shocked look on his face*

Figaro: "Ok then, but you know I'm gonna have to remove you if there are any problems...

*Holly nods as Figaro opens the door for her, then she enters Geese's hospital room. Inside, Celes is sitting at a chair right next to OG's bed. As the door opens and Holly walks in, Celes gets an angry look on her face and OG looks a bit surprised*'


Celes: "I do believe, Miss Walker, that this is MY visitation time with Geese. Please wait your turn."

Holly: "No..it's...*turns to Geese* Oh Hi Geese...how are you...but no...Celes *turns back to Celes* I'm not trying to take your time...I need to talk to you BOTH...about OG-Joshi. It's really important."

Celes: "Is this about you losing power in OG-Joshi? Cause I thought Geese already explained to you why..."

Holly: *Resentfully* "No...it's not about THAT."

OG: "Is this about your match with Dizzy next weekend at Emergence?"

Celes: "We're not going to call it off just cause you aren't ready."

Holly: "No...it's no thaHEY...what the HELL do you MEAN I'm not ready!?!"

*Mr. Figaro peeks into the door and gives Holly a look that she better calm the "F" down*

Holly: "Ok...listen. What I have to say now is important to OG-Joshi. It's about Juli Krieger...and Alicia Gordon....and really... YOU, Geese. So please...BOTH of you...just let me explain"

OG: "Ok, go ahead, I want to hear what you have to say."

Celes: *somewhat sarcastically* "I'm a bit intrigued as well..."


(Continued in Part 2)

[OrochiGeese]

*Holly takes a deep breath*

Holly: "We all..we all were surprised by what Juli Krieger did to Alicia Gordon...it was shocking...it was. I've done some bad things to people...but I never ever did anything like THAT."

Celes: "Interesting to hear your reaction...and I would imagine that you are here now to ensure that Juli never does the same to you?"

Holly: "You would assume that, and I wouldn't even blame you. Because really, at first, i was even thinking of making THAT case to you two. But then I thought more about it and...well...."

*Holly turns to Geese again*

Holly: "Geese...why are you here right now...why are you in that hospital bed?"

OG: "Because Twinky's sister saw it fit to get involved in my business with him, and her sloppy interference..."

Holly: "Yes, but is it not true that your intended "business" was to CRIPPLE Twinky McLanahan!? Either during or AFTER the match? Hell, you already tried to do it like 3 or 4 times to him in the past two months! You hit him with the Raging Bolt THROUGH a table...through a f'n TABLE backstage!! And then at Premium.VOLUME, Geese, you already won your match with him...but, that wasn't enough for you! You then tried to hit an Air Shock...A BURNING F'N HAMMER FROM THE TOP ROPE!! AFTER the match!!!!"

OG: "Am I to believe that you suddenly care at all about Twinky McLanahan?"

Holly: "Please! Like I give a flying f*ck about Jo Ryder's cousin. But do you remember a few weeks ago when you pointed out an interesting similarity between my current opponent, Dizzy, and yours, Twinky?"

OG: "Yes, I found it amusing that I was trying to cripple Twinky while you, my student, were trying to cripple his student Dizzy."

Holly: "Well, over this past week I realized yet ANOTHER similarity. That of you and...Juli Krieger."

*OG and Celes both look at Holly in a somewhat shocked fashion.*

Holly: "Yeah, you and Juli. Just like you tried to cripple your opponent after you already won the match, Juli did the same to Alicia after their match. Just as you tried end Twinky's career and put his health in jeopardy, Juli did the same to Alicia. Match victory wasn't enough for EITHER of you! You had to take it further."

OG: "Well...that is true..."

Holly: "So tell me then Geese...how are you even CONSIDERING punishing Juli for doing the very thing that YOU are so proud of doing and trying to do? How is it any different for her then you? You both tried to make a major impact....you both tried to knock an opponent OUT of your path to climb that ladder! And in doing so, you each risked their careers and their central nervous systems!"

OG: "..."

Holly: " You own OG-Joshi...it's yours and you can do whatever you want. But the fact is...how can you possibly punish someone in your company for exerting YOUR type of force, violence, and even CHAOS...cause thats what Juli's attack resulted in. Why is it ok for you and not Juli? And why will she get punished for something that you love doing and will strive to continue to do?"

Celes: "Miss Walker...OrochiGeese owns a wrestling promotion in which he has to ensure the health of all the participants."

Holly: "I'm glad you finally chimed in...Miss General. Because I wanted to talk to you about this as much as Geese."

Celes: "Yesss?"

Holly: "The fact is...since you have come back into Geese's life...Geese has become more violent and yes, even more motivated, then before. I can't help but think that YOU are partially responsible for this."

Celes: "Don't you dare insult me..."

Holly: "Oh please! You know you had SOMETHING to do with this!"

Celes: "I had EVERYTHING to do with this! Don't you dare insinuate I was only PARTIALLY responsible for motivating Geese to reach his maximum violent potential. I claim FULL responsibility."

Holly: "Ok, well, there ya go...

Celes: "Your point then...besides stating the obvious in a stupid and disrespectful way?"

Holly: "My point is that you, as someone who motivated a wrestler to perform violence OUTSIDE the ring...hardly has any right to be upset at what Juli did to Alicia. It's not like Juli did it to you, or Geese, or anyone that you actually care about. All Juli was doing was exactly the same as what you wanted Geese to do!"

OG: "Let's cut to the chase here Holly. Both Celes and I can understand what you are saying. But WHY are you saying it? You can't possibly be saying this to help out Juli. You MUST have a selfish motive here...in fact, neither you or I would waste our time on unselfish motives! So how do YOU expect to benefit from us not punishing Juli?"

Holly: "Yes, I intend to benefit. But as I said before, it's not JUST about me, or you, or Juli, or Alicia, or anyone specific. It's about how OG-Joshi treats its wrestlers. So yeah, I'll tell you how I benefit. Because if people like Juli or I can be punished for knocking the sh*t out of stupid punk whores like Alicia, or Dizzy, or Lisa Robinson, or whoever...then you create an atmosphere where we can't STRIVE to reach the highest level that our very own OG-Joshi owner, OrochiGeese, has reached."

Holly: "Is that fair to me or ANY of us fierce competitors!? Is that fair to OG-Joshi or you who, as its owner, wants it to be at its best?"

OG: "Well..."

Holly: "If you have a problem in PW-W Geese, what do you do? You eliminate it by ALL MEANS NECESSARY. Why can't we do the same in OG-Joshi? Why can't I do the same if i wanted to? This is OrochiGeese's Joshi fed...so I just want to live up to the potential set by YOU. And that means that if doing something to someone helps me and my career, I should be able to do it! Just like you do!"

*Holly turns to Celes*

Holly: "And Celes, those that are too weak to defend themselves...why are they even competing in OG-Joshi? Do you want to be the GENERAL of pathetic losers like Alicia Gordon? You are their General not their BABYSITTERS!"

Celes: "Alicia Gordon is not pathe..."

Holly: "The point is...I want everyone to be free to live up to OrochiGeese's lofty expectations and examples. Few of us will ever reach his successes...but to tell us we can't try...when we see him doing the same to people in PW-W. That's not fair. It's not fair to me, Juli Krieger, or OG-Joshi."

OG: "Holly, you make an interesting and compelling case. Celes and I will be sure to consider your position when making our decision regarding Juli at Emergence."

*Holly begins to walk out the door but stops short, turns, and makes sharp eye contact with OrochiGeese*

Holly: "There's an old saying Geese...that "leaders should lead by example". But that is only helpful if those being led are ALLOWED to follow that very example. Your example is one of glory and unlimited pursuit of self-interest through violence and chaos. Let those in OG-Joshi follow your example Geese. Let us truly become OG-Joshi."

*Holly takes another deep breath*

Holly: "Thank you both for your time. And feel better Geese! We need you back fighting in and out of the ring as an inspiration to us all!."

*Holly exits through the door and silently leaves the hospital. Mr. Figaro closes the door to OG's room as OrochiGeese and Celes begin discussing Holly's position.*
