Role-Play #: 003 - Won: 00 / Lost: 00 / Drawn: 00


-[Scene 1]-

 

~Jessica is on the phone with Kayla, a developing wrestling rookie and a friend of Jessica's and Faith's, in any case, this scene is continued from the last roleplay, although the scene in the last roleplay ended with Kayla calling Jessica, this scene begins midway through the telephone conversation~

 

Kayla:

come on, Jessy...please?

 

Jessica:

I said no...

 

Kayla:

but I would make a great wrestler, you know it, I know you do

 

Jessica:

I'm sorry but I don't have the time anymore

 

Kayla:

with what? what can possibly be taking up so much of your time?

 

Jessica:

I recently got back into the wrestling industry, I can't just take time off now to train some...some...rookie

 

Kayla:

What if I traveled with you?

 

Jessica:

excuse me?

 

Kayla:

What if I traveled alongside with you?

 

Jessica:

you wouldn't last a week, if you traveled with me

 

Kayla:

Then let's have a bet

 

Jessica:

I'm not going bet anything, I know what you're trying to do, and it's not working

 

Kayla:

I wouldn't bother you at all, I'll even pay you to train me

 

pay me? now we're talking...wait...maybe I could charge the shit out of her...I'll be fucking rich in a few months...

 

Jessica:

pay me? I wouldn't accept your money...

 

Kayla:

please? how much you want? $500 dollars? $1,000 dollars?

 

Jessica:

I don't know...it doesn't seem right...

 

Kayla:

okay...how does $2,000 dollars sound?

 

Jessica:

alright...I'll train you...

 

Kayla:

thank you! thank you!

 

Jessica:

but only if you pay me $5,000 dollars per week

 

Kayla:

Per week?

 

Jessica:

yeah but tragically you don't have that kind of-

 

Kayla:

No, it's okay, if you want $5,000 dollars then its fine chronicles

 

Jessica:

huh? you can't afford that kind of money

 

Kayla:

says who? I'll just take out money from the bank

 

Jessica:

well, let me think about it, I'll give you my final answer later

 

Kayla:

thank you so mu-

 

~Jessica hangs up on Kayla~

 

Jessica:

shut the fuck up...

 

5,000 dollars a week...I WILL be the richest diva alive...yeah...Richest ever...Richer than anyone...even that stupid Mike Lane...I can't wait until we meet at Wargames...I will show him what kind of a woman I can be...no one will ever expect how great I will be at Wargames...I'll be damn good...that's right...damn good...no...I'll be better than my brother, I'll be better than him...thus...becoming the better Phoenix...I'll be the best Phoenix ever...and I'll make that a fact, I will make that a fact...starting with my first match in TPW...

 

Faith:

Jessica, Could you come in here for a minute?

 

Jessica:

What you want?

 

Faith:

Just come...it's really important...

 

Jessica:

Okay, Okay...here I come...

 

~Jessica stands up from sitting down on her bed, she walks towards the entrance of the bedroom, she stops as soon as she hears an unusual giggle coming from beyond the bedroom, she stops and looks around but decides to walk out anyway, upon walking out, she sees Faith standing right next to Kayla in front of a dining table, both Faith and Kayla smile at Jessica~

 

Faith:

April Fools!!

 

Jessica:

April, what?

 

Faith:

April Fools...it's April 1

 

Jessica:

no, it's not...it's March 30th

 

Faith:

I don't think so, it's Friday...go ahead, check the calendar

 

~Jessica runs to the kitchen, where there's a calendar on the wall, although we only see Faith and Kayla, we can hear Jessica's reaction~

 

Jessica:

oh fuck...I overslept two days...

 

Faith:

You didn't oversleep, you were awake all day yesterday

 

Jessica:

I don't remember yesterday...

 

Kayla:

has she been doing drugs?

 

Faith:

I don't think so...

 

Jessica:

and you...what the fuck are you doing here? didn't you just call me?

 

Kayla:

Yeah...it was part of the prank

 

Jessica:

the prank is over...now get the fuck out of my house

 

Faith:

keep it down...

 

Jessica:

keep it down? who's going to hear me? the neighbor?

 

Faith:

Mike's sleeping...

 

Jessica:

Mike is what? my brother Mike is here?

 

Faith:

okay, Jessica...you can't stop it with the April fools joke

 

Jessica:

what joke? I'm serious...

 

Faith:

You got me, just stop playing around

 

Jessica:

I'm not playing around....

 

Kayla:

so how you doing, Jessica?

 

Jessica:

I'm doing good, why are you here? I told you to get the fuck out

 

Kayla:

Jeez...you really know how to kill a good time

 

Jessica:

yeah, I know...I also know how to kill people who annoy the shit out of me

 

Faith:

lower your voice...

 

Jessica:

Fuck you, I'll raise my voice if I feel the need to

 

Faith:

Mike doesn't know you're here...If he finds out, He'll get extremely piss off

 

Jessica:

what are you talking about? I live here...

 

Kayla:

no, you don't

 

Jessica:

you

 

Kayla:

me?

 

Jessica:

yeah, you.  shut the fuck up, so Faith...you telling me that I don't live here?

 

Faith:

correct

 

Jessica:

you make no sense whatsoever...If you need me, I'll be in the bathroom...

 

~Jessica walks away into the long hallway, leaving Faith and Kayla alone~

 

Kayla:

so...can I get her eggs?

 

Faith:

*sighs* yeah...I guess, so...

 

Kayla:

you were right, she really has changed

 

~Faith walks into the kitchen but still talks to Kayla~'

 

Faith:

I really don't know what to do anymore, she's gone crazy

 

Kayla:

have you taken her to the doctor? or therapist?

 

Faith:

I tell her to seek help but she refuses to accept the fact that she's going through a hard stage in her life

 

Kayla:

we're all like that...denial is a natural human emotion

 

Faith:

denial isn't a emotion...its a stage of depression

 

Kayla:

and what's depression? A serious state of sadness, right? being sad is a human emotion

 

Faith:

that's different...not to change the subject but do you really want Jessica to train you?

 

Kayla:

Of course not...It was part of the whole prank, I already been trained by some else

 

~Faith returns to the dining table with a plate of eggs, she places them on the table, so that Kayla can eat~

 

Faith:

that's good, so how's your father? is he still smoking that pipe of his?

 

Kayla:

he died.

 

Faith:

I'm sorry...I didn't know...

 

Kayla:

it's okay, its obvious you didn't know...

 

Faith:

I feel like a bitch now...

 

Kayla:

well...don't feel that way...it's my fault, I should have told you earlier...

 

Faith:

don't blame yourself...

 

Kayla:

what is that?

 

Faith:

what is what?

 

Kayla:

that...*points to a gym bag*

 

Faith:

oh...that's Jessica's gym bag, I just packed last night, she has a flight booked to Las Vegas for this evening

 

Kayla:

could I...take a small peek?

 

Faith:

I don't know...if Jessica sees you then you're dead

 

Kayla:

she won't...I'll be quick, I promise...

 

Faith:

well, okay...but I'm letting you this only time, just so that we can be even

 

Kayla:

okay

 

~Kayla walks towards Jessica's gym bag, she gets on her knees and opens the gym bag, she looks inside of the gym bag in amazement~

 

Kayla:

she must be facing someone good...

 

Faith:

she's facing this guy, Mike

 

Kayla:

Mike? Mike Phoenix?

 

Faith:

no...not Mike Phoenix...Mike Lane, I think

 

Kayla:

oh...where have I heard that name before?

 

Faith:

TPW? World Heavyweight Champion?

 

Kayla:

he has sideburns?

 

Faith:

I think so...not sure though

 

Kayla:

I heard of him...he's very good.

 

Faith:

you can say that...

 

Kayla:

but you're pro-Jessica Phoenix, you wouldn't say anything against her

 

Faith:

says who?

 

Kayla:

you're her friend...you wouldn't be against her...

 

Faith:

friendship is merely an illusion for Jessica, she doesn't care about our friendship...so why should I care?

 

Kayla:

what proof do you have that makes you say that?

 

Faith:

She told me herself, her exact words were "A Friend is just a known enemy."

 

Kayla:

oh...

 

Faith:

wait, why did you say that she's facing someone good? how would you know?

 

Kayla:

there's about thousand bottles of pills in here...

 

Faith:

those are her medication pills, most of them are anti-depressants, please don't touch them...

 

Kayla:

some of these have interesting names, like this one...it's called Lithium...hey! wasn't that a nirvana song?

 

Faith:

I think it was...now leave those pills alone....

 

Kayla:

I will, I will...

 

Faith:

come eat your eggs before they get cold

 

~Kayla walks back to the dining table and sits down and begins eating her plate of eggs as the scene ends~

 

-[Scene 2]-

 

~Scene starts as we see the front of a rusty, old coffee shop that looks like a Denny's, we then get a new camera shot of inside the coffee shop, where we can see Jessica sitting down in a table next to the window, Jessica looks out the window with a depressed look on her face, her eyes are almost teary but she looks strong much not to, moments later we Kayla walking towards Jessica's table, as soon as she makes it to Jessica's table, she sits down by sliding into place in a happy matter~

 

Kayla:

The food hasn't arrived yet?

 

Jessica:

not yet...

 

Kayla:

so what were you saying before? about authority and the a writer's emotions?

 

Jessica:

oh yeah...now listen to this...

 

Kayla:

I'm hearing

 

Jessica:

Authoritative personalities, like Pluto, fear the threat that comes not from idea, but from emotion...you follow?

 

Kayla:

I follow...

 

Jessica:

Those in power never want us to feel emotion, you know why?

 

Kayla:

No, why?

 

Jessica:

The human mind and thoughts can be controlled and manipulated, but human emotion is willful and unpredictable.  Artists and writers threaten authority by exposing lies and inspiring passion for change.  This is why when tyrants seize power, their firing squads aim at the heart of the artist and writer

 

Kayla:

wow...you came up with this all by yourself?

 

Jessica:

yeah...after reading a little about history and shit like that...

 

Kayla:

I like your writing

 

Jessica:

thank you... but did you know that I write only as a social responsibility?

 

Kayla:

a what?

 

Jessica:

a social responsibility, let me explain...I believe I have no responsibility to cure social ills or renew faith in humanity or to uplift the spirits of society or even express the inner being of others but I do believe I have a huge responsibility, which is to tell the truth. You told me you want to become a writer like me, correct?

 

Kayla:

Correct...

 

Jessica:

when you are writing you must ask yourself a question...is this truth? Do I believe in the meaning of my story? and if the answer is no, toss it out and start over again, but if your answer is yes, do everything possible to get your work into the world, although a writer may, in his private life, lie to others, even to him or herself, when that writer creates, he is in fact telling truth and in a world of lies and liars, an honest work of art is always an act of social responsibility

 

Kayla:

wow...that's some heavy stuff

 

Jessica:

no, not really, it's my own unique way of looking at writing, could we talk about Wrestling now? I didn't come here to talk about writing

 

Kayla:

well...how you feel about your match? against Mike Lane?

 

Jessica:

you sound like a fucking interviewer

 

Kayla:

You said you wanted to talk about wrestling, didn't you?

 

Jessica:

*sighs* ask me again then...

 

Kayla:

okay...how you feel about your match against Mike Lane?

 

Jessica:

I feel godlike, enough said...

 

Kayla:

huh? you can't say that

 

Jessica:

Why not?

 

Kayla:

you don't really say anything...for instance, in this case, godlike? what you mean by that?

 

Jessica:

I feel greater than any human on this planet, I feel stronger, I feel more powerful than anyone else

 

Kayla:

So you feel greater than Mike Lane?

 

Jessica:

Don't forget stronger and powerful...

 

Kayla:

So you feel stronger, more powerful and greater than Mike Lane?

 

Jessica:

I don't feel stronger and more powerful or greater than Mike Lane...I am stronger, more powerful and greater than Mike Lane

 

Kayla:

now you're just changing the entire thing around

 

Jessica:

*sighs* you want a real answer? here goes...Mike Lane, in my eyes, doesn't mean shit, He might have won the TPW championship before but that doesn't mean shit, you hear me? it doesn't mean an ounce of shit, he won that title back when Jessica Phoenix wasn't around, he won that title back when I was a mere human being like you or anybody else for that matter, he won that title in the past, the past is the past, the present is the present, and the future is the future, let me tell you something...Jessica Phoenix is the present and in a couple of days, the entire world will find out that Jessica Phoenix is the future, the past don't mean shit, the past is past, if you still live in the past then its about time you get a dose of reality cause-

 

Waitress: coffee?

 

Jessica:

Yeah, I'll like a cup of shut the fuck up, Don't you see I'm talking to my friend? I don't want to be interrupt nor do I enjoy being interrupted...so where i was I? oh yeah, like I was saying If you still live in the past then its about time you get a dose of reality because no one cares about the past, Wrestlers like Mike Lane, Mike Phoenix, Demon, Donny Downfall are the past and look at them, they come not within a inch of me, They will be forgotten in a couple of years but as for me...I'll be around for billions of years, for I am Jessica Phoenix, the greatest wrestler alive

 

Kayla:

kinda cocky there, don't you think?

 

Jessica:

no...it's not cocky, if I can back it up...and I can back up every single word I said

 

Kayla:

I hope you can

 

Jessica:

what is that suppose to mean?

 

Kayla:

it means nothing...

 

Jessica:

then stop talking, shit-talker...

 

Kayla:

shut up...so what dreams do you have in mind?

 

Jessica:

I don't have dreams in mind, I'm fully awake right now...maybe you're drifting in la la land but not me, I'm serious about life...*breaks into laughter* god that was funny...serious about life...I can't believe I just said that

 

Kayla:

why are you so suicidal? if you hate life so much, why don't you just kill yourself?

 

Jessica:

I have...trust me, I have...but life loves me too damn much...I keep failing...but nowadays I rather just live to piss people off, I always show up at people's doors and tell them, "I'm still alive, bitches!!!"

 

Kayla:

I find it funny that Faith is trying to create life while you are trying to end it...

 

Jessica:

I find it funny too...I mean Faith is playing god right now...that's so fucking cool

 

Kayla:

huh?

 

Jessica:

you have the life of another human being in the palm of your hands for nine months...that's playing the role of god right there

 

Kayla:

anyways...so what you plan to do after your match with Mike Lane?

 

Jessica:

I don't know...sleep? I love to sleep

 

Kayla:

did you know sleep is the brother of Death?

 

Jessica:

if that's the case, then I'm dating Sleep's brother...

 

Kayla:

oh god...I have to the bathroom

 

Jessica:

Again?

 

Kayla:

I think those eggs I ate earlier are getting to me

 

Jessica:

just go...

 

~Kayla runs off to the bathroom, leaving Jessica by herself~

 

this may be the final chance I get to talk to you...so let me be brief...I hate life...I hate life...I hate life...it might sound like an annoying cliché but I don't care...I want to die as soon as possible...screw everyone, screw Mike Lane...I wish I could just shoot myself in the middle of the ring...let the thousands of so-called "fans" see my death...they'll probably enjoy it...they love violence...they love blood and gore...I still to this say don't understand how could thousands of people sit next to each other, elbow to elbow, for two or more hours and just stare at a ring and watch two opponents beat the living shit out of each other...how can they do it? how can they invest more uninterrupted concentration on wrestling than work? paying money to experience the violence and pain they'd do anything to avoid in life...what attracts their attention? I guess I'll never learn the real, true answer but a girl can dream...a girl can dream...I wonder to myself if anyone out there likes me...I wonder if anyone loves me or if anybody has ever even it thought to ask me out...Love is a harsh game...not having anyone to love or have anyone love you back hurts me more than any other pain I have ever experienced

 

Voice:

but I love you...

 

Jessica:

You do?

 

Voice:

yeah...

 

Jessica:

I love you too...

 

Voice:

How much you love me?

 

Jessica:

I guess I love you a lot...since you're my first love...let me ask you...how much you love me?

 

Voice:

A whole lot...

 

Jessica:

really?

 

Voice:

nah...I'm just fucking with you, April Fools...

 

Jessica:

oh...you tricked me...I thought you loved me

 

Voice:

I thought you loved me too...

 

Waitress:

excuse me? are you ok?

 

Jessica:

I'm fine

 

Waitress: you were just talking to yourself, are you sure your fine?

 

Jessica:

...nah...I'm just fucking with you...April Fools...

~the scene ends as Jessica smiles at the waitress~
