*It is 10 pm as OrochiGeese walks into the apartment complex that Holly lives in. OG walks
quickly but with his usual poise and class. Several children "ooh" and "ahh" in shock as
they see the famous cereal magnate, wrestling superstar, and owner of OG-FPD, pass them by in the very place that they live.*
OG: "Stay in school kids" *Gives a cheesy thumbs up*
Kids: "Yes Mr. Geese!"
OG: "Oh...and try these out...free samples of experimental Orochi-O's. If you feel sick, have your parents call the number on the back of the box. And by opening the box, you relieve me of liability"
Kids: "What's li..liah...Liar-bill-itty?"
OG: "There ya go pal, sound it out. Just open the box. And, as i said, stay in school."
*OG continues walking to Holly's apartment. When he is in front of the door, he takes a deep breath, and knocks*
*OG hears someone slowly walking to the door, and the eyehole piece opening. Then he hears a sigh*
Holly: "Hi Geese....what are you doing here?"
OG: "Holly, please open the door, we have to talk."
Holly: "I'm really not in the mood right now.."
OG: "It's very, very important, please open the door, i'm worried about you."
Holly: "Something tells me you aren't going to give up, so fine, i'll give you a few minutes"
*Holly opens the door and Geese slowly walks in with a calm smile on his face
*Suddenly, OG stops in his tracks and a look of mortified shock flashes across his face*
OG: "Wha...what happened here, Holly? Are you ok!? Were you robbed?! What happen..
Holly: "No...i wasn't robbed, no one broke in. This was all... *Holly looks down* my doing..."
OG takes a second look at the apartment. Holly's furniture is turned over, her tv destroyed by what looks to be an axe kick, dishes and glasses broken in pieces on the floor. And various food items splattered on the wall.
OG: "But...why?"
Holly: "Jo Ryder"
OG: "That's all you are going to say, isn't it?"
Holly: "Jo Ryder made me do this...this is all because of her!"
OG: "I knew it...i knew something was wrong with you. After your match at Darkness Falls, you immediately stormed out of the arena and refused to talk to anyone. You didn't pick up the phone during the weekend or reply to anyone's messages. And you didn't even come to work today. I would have left earlier to check on you but you KNOW we had that big meeting today to buy out Cocoa Krispicos. But you didn't show up at all or even call in sick!"
Holly: "You may dock my pay as you see fit."
OG: "NO...its not that. I'm not worried about you missing the meeting, we did fine and bought them out based on the plan YOU had proposed and setup. What im concerned about is YOU. This isn't like you, missing work and meetings and well... *OG points around the apartment* THIS"
Holly: "All Jo Ryder's fault...she will pay for my embarrasing loss at Darkness Falls, she will pay for what i had to do here to vent about it. She will pay for EVERYTHING she has done to me Geese!!!!"
OG: "Ok, let's just take this one point at a time here, ok? First, let's sit down and try to relax"
*OG re-turns over the overturned couch, dusts it off, slowly takes Holly's hand and sits down with her*
OG: "Holly, your loss at Darkness Falls was anything BUT embarrassing. Did you hear the crowd cheering throughout and at the end of that match? That fanfare and excitement wasn't ONLY for Dizzy, it was for the contest as a whole. All the overwhelmingly positive reviews and accolades after the match are for both of you. You BOTH put on quite a show out there, no one there knew you had it in you.!"
OG: "But I did...I knew it for monthbs. Fact is, 6 months ago, before OG-FPD Joshi, no one but me knew how great a wrestler you had become. Before that, you were never taken seriously, and mainly cause you had just started training to be a wrestler. But your skills grew over the years, you trained harder, and you started showing it this last year. You showed some of your new skill at Murderers Row. Hell, you even knocked out and eliminated Jo Ryder! And since then, you've really been on a roll. You won the Orochi-O's vs. Team Ryder Survival Match for us. And you put on an amazing performance and effort at Darkness Falls. You were extremely competitive to the very last move. The match could have gone either way and BOTH you and Dizzy left that match looking phenomenal. There was not one embarrassing thing about that match for anyone."
OG: "In fact, I'm proud of every wrestler in the OG-FPD Joshi division, each one gave their all at the PPV and impressed the hell out of the fans. This PPV really put this division on the map. Just this past weekend, I've had about 4 or 5 joshi wrestlers calling me, asking to work for OG-FPD Joshi. I've signed new wrestlers to contracts and at least THREE of them will debut at the next Voltage in August! And that is ALL because of your match and because of the #1 contender match. These new girls want to come in to our fed and take part in the greatest Joshi competition happening today! They specifically pointed to your match as well, and to you, as wrestlers they look forward to facing. Holly, you impressed people, not embarrassed yourself. And so did Kaori, Haley, and Dizzy, all four of you made this PPV the success it was, and I'm proud of each and every one of you."
Holly: "But Geese...did you see what Dizzy did to me after hitting that Snack Wrapper? She played it up to the fans, she taunted me, she tried to humiliate me!!"
OG: "She was caught up in the emotion of the moment. She was so happy to have hit that move at the crux of what she already knew was a legendary match. She wanted to show her enthusiasm even more to the fans. She wasn't doing it to spite or embarrass you, she was doing it to celebrate with the fans. And furthermore, there is no shame in losing to that Snack Wrapper move."
Holly: "...?"
OG: "I have wrestled the man that originated the Snack Wrapper, the same man that trained Dizzy: Twinky McLanahan. The hardcore legend. A man I have had some of MY best and most competitive matches with. And i can tell you firsthand that the Snack Wrapper is a devastating move, despite the rather comical name for it. It can knock anyone out and lead to a pinfall victory at any time. Dizzy executed it perfectly, and there is no shame in getting beat. Not by a move like that....
OG: "Not in a MATCH like that!"
Holly: "A loss isn't a GOOD thing, Geese!?"
OG: "A loss might not be a good thing on its face, in that one does not strive to come out on the losing end. But that does not mean there is shame attached to it, especially when the loss comes in such a close match. ALSO, a loss can be turned INTO a great thing long-term. There is no shame in losing a match, especially the kind you two had. The ONLY shame is not learning from the loss, and not using what you learned to come back stronger. Hell, i built my career on huge rebounding resurgences after disappointing losses! You know that. I'd never be where I am in PW-W if it wasn't for learning from my losses, training even harder, and striking back stronger then before."
Holly: "Well, that IS certainly true. Your highest plateaus always come after your lowest valleys"
OG: "And its true with you too. Do you remember last year? If you ask me, Holly, the turning point in your career was your loss to Jo Ryder last year during the second Team Ryder Expo. The show where I faced Eddie, Mr. Clyde and Figaro faced Frog and Fishboy, and you faced Jo. Even though you lost to her then, look at how your career has gone ever since? It's skyrocketed! You want to blame Jo when you should be thanking her for motivating you to the point you are at now!"
Holly: *In a bitter voice* "I will never ever thank Jo Ryder. She is behind everything bad that happens in my life and everything I am ashame...
*Holly stops mid-sentence*
OG: "Yes, Holly, what were you going to say? Will you please tell me?"
Holly: "Nothing...nothing. Just know that, I will have my full revenge on Jo Ryder. For everything. From the loss last year at Team Rydo Expo...to not winning the Joshi title I should have won at Murderers Row... to the loss at Darkness Falls..."
OG: "Jo wasn't responsible for your loss at Darkness Falls, it was Dizzy who beat you in that match. You need to focus on things OTHER then Jo Ryder, there is more to life then her!"
Holly: "If you were in my shoes, you wouldn't be able to take ANY of your focus off of Jo..."
OG: "Then why don't you just tell me already what exactly it means to be in YOUR shoes!"
Holly: "You wouldn't understand"
OG: "I think i would understand. I might not agree though...but if you at least tell me what your real problem with her is, then maybe i can at least understand where you are coming from. Maybe i can at least HELP you with your issues with her."
Holly: "The only thing that will "HELP my issues" with her is by destroying her, once and for all."
OG: "Well, you'll get your chance. As we all know, Jo Ryder made a challenge to you for the next OG-FPD PPV, and you accepted it. The match has been signed. That match, in addition to Haley Cannon vs Dizzy for the OG-FPD Joshi Title, will be at the next OG-FPD PPV in October."
Holly: "Jo Ryder says she is stepping away from wrestling for a while after this year, right?"
OG: "Yes, I believe that is the gist of what she has been announcing to everyone."
Holly: "What she doesn't understand is that her very decision will not actually, in effect, be made by her. It will be made FOR her....by ME. After the next PPV, Jo Ryder won't be ABLE to physically step into another ring after what i will do to her. In fact, if one were to be all cutesy about it, they could say that, at the next PPV, I will finally melt the wicked witch of the west!"
OG: *Laughs* "Oh boy...she's a witch? I don't see her carrying any broomsticks, Holly!"
Holly: *flinches* "Then consider YOURSELF lucky, in that regard, i guess..." *frowns*
OG: "Still living in that "Holly's Fables" fantasy world, I see. Well...if it gets you motivated to put on ANOTHER excellent performance at the next PPV, then I guess I'll just have to accept it."
Holly: "Yes, that is indeed the case, a "fantasy" world, right. Now... if you are convinced I haven't turned into a shut-in, it IS getting late and I want to get to sleep so i can actually be at work tomorrow."
OG: "That's fine. I look forward to seeing you tomorrow Holly." *OG turns to leave*
Holly: "Yes..and Geese..."
OG: "Yeah, Holly?"
Holly: "Thanks for coming to check on me..."
*Holly hugs OG*
OG: "Anytime Holly"
*OG goes to leave but Holly hangs on to him for a few seconds more*
Holly: "I know you don't believe me about Jo...but i guess it's my fault cause i don't tell you anything. One day I will, i promise. Just...please...just know i'm not crazy"
OG: "I never thought you were crazy. Well, besides hiring OrochiGoose, that is. And you can tell me everything you want to when you feel the time is right. Just for now, know how proud I am of your, and every Joshi wrestlers', performance at Darkness Falls. Ok, see you tomorrow Holly"
Holly: "Bye Geese..."
OG: "Oh...and I'll get some new furniture and tv for your apartment. Next time you need to vent though, take it out on the heavy bags in our training room"
Holly: "Or on OrochiGoose or a RIG"
OG: "Either way...just leave some of the RIGs for me!" *Grins wider*
*OG opens the doors and begins walking down the hallway again. As he passes the area with the kids before, he hears through one of the doors*
Kid: "I tink i see a metuhl Owochi-O! Should i eat it?"
*OG more briskly leaves the apartment building while speedialing Orochi-O's Legal Dept*
*It is 10 pm as OrochiGeese walks into the apartment complex that Holly lives in. OG walks
