We fade into to Alicia Gordon lying on a couch in a dark room. Her eyes are blood shot with dark circles under them. She looks unkempt and even though she appears to have just woken up, she looks exhausted. The way the fading sun is coming in from the windows suggests apocalypse (!) OR that it's close to sundown on the West coast. She walks slowly over to her telephone answering machine. 3 messages flash. She goes back to her couch, buries her head in the pillow and returns to sleep. Fade out.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fade in again and it appears to be the afternoon of the next day. Alicia is still sleeping on the couch but wakes up suddenly when she hears the phone ringing. She looks startled and angry she was woken up like this, or at all, and doesn't answer it. The call goes to voicemail with a beep. Alicia dozes off again.
A few hours later, she wakes up. After getting some water, she goes to the phone and almost seems surprised there was another voicemail waiting for her. She clicks the playback button.
*A robotic voice recording starts.*
"Hello Miss Gordon - you have 3 old messages and 1 new one. Playback all messages?"
*Alicia presses a button and the robo voice starts again.
"Message 1"
"Leesh, leesh where are you!? It's Marie, c'mon you gotta pick up! I'm worried about you, girl. You haven't returned any of my calls and I haven't even seen you for two months since that UBL Open Show. You gotta tell me what happened, I'm your best friend, let me help! Please call back soon, please."
*Alicia frowns and looks despondent as the next message plays.*
"Message 2"
A song plays. A muffled "Go LAWL" ends the recording. A hint of a smile appears on Alicia's face but the second she hears the next voice, her smile fades away and she looks visibly nauseous.
Message 3
"Whuddup Cally bitch, it's H to the O, The #1 Ho, Holly!! Remember? The girl you met at the Open show way back who you showed your grannies to? Ooooh I wanted to hit that, so did my boy G-Tip but I guess you got shook and ran off. *Holly laughs* That's cool - listen up, we be throwing a party called Renaissance. I hope you can make it, I'd hate to have an OG-Joshi PPV without you standing there with drool coming out looking like a deer in headlights!! Make sure you save up that drool too, G-Tip hates dryjobs. Oh before I go, how's your boy T-Strike? I hear he's been macking on other bitches after you left him high and dry. Too bad but you can do better...nah, you probably can't. Laters Leeshy!"
*Alicia has to fight back a gag reflex as the next message plays. It starts off with "New message" so its presumably the one from earlier today. The voice starts and Alicia looks troubled.*
Message 4
"Miss Gordon, this is General Celes. It has been two months since I have seen you last and given Mr. Bae's final words, I am interested to know if you plan on competing at Renaissance. What you do with your life at this point is your own business - I can no longer expect to reach you given your attitude. But it is selfish of you to hold a spot in the #1 contender's Battle Royale if you no longer intend to compete in it. I would like the time to assign someone in your place if you are finished with OG-Joshi. I would hope, at the very least, that you will attend the show - you owe it to yourself to see Walker defeated by Visper Karr. I regret what has happened to you but at this point, only you can turn your life around. The best way to do that would be to get back into the ring and try to earn a shot at Visper as she is exactly the type of wrestler you joined OG-Joshi to face. Please get back to me and if this is it for you, I wish you success in your future."
Alicia stays by the phone, her finger hovering over the delete button. She goes to press but stops, her finger resting on the button and a look of uncertainty in her eyes. The scene fades out.
