After spending a week on a cruise ship off the west coast line, Orchid checked in to a hotel in L.A. were she will be meeting with Kenzi for a casting call for her TV Show.
After a few hours of sleep Orchid woke up and decided to get a work out in. She goes to the 6fft mirror attached to the hotel closet door. After about 30 minutes in to the work out her phone goes off. Orchid stops working out to check her phone. She sees that Kenzi is up and getting ready to work out herself. Orchid asked about running laps somewhere only to be informed that Kenzi has a place that she goes to for a great pool exercise Orchid lets Kenzi know that she would look to go with her. Kenzi agrees to meet with Orchid. Orchid heads down to the main floor to wait in the lobby for Kenzi.
Kenzi spotted Orchid as soon as she walked in and a broad smile touched her lips. Kenzi was dressed in her workout gear, with a heavy brace on her injured knee, and with Dog tucked gingerly under her arm. She ran over an threw her arms around the woman as she greeted her warmly, “HEY GIRL!!” She stood back from Orchid and gave her the once over. “I hope you don’t mind, but you’re going to get SO FREAKING WET!”
Kenzi paused as she noticed a couple of men stop in their tracks, looking at the two women with sly grins on their faces. Kenzi narrowed her eyes at them and gave them the finger, “Screw off idiots!” Kenzi took Orchid by her arm and started leading her through the building and towards the pool.
She held up her Welsh Corgi, “I hope you don’t mind of Dog joins us! He loves swimming with me!” She brought the puppy to her face and it licked her face, bringing forth a loud giggle from her.
As Orchid is giggling she tries to pet Dog but Dog licks her hand.
Orchid: You’re a happy Dog. And so cute to.
A hotel Housemen arrives with Orchids small duffle bag. Orchid goes to her right pocket to get out some money to tip the hotel staff worker. Orchid hands his $10 and takes the bag from in. Orchid gently pets Dog a few times. Orchid takes the bag from the housemen. The houseman thanks Orchid as Orchid bows to the man. Orchid turns to look at Kenzi
Orchid: I got what I need right here.
The two start to make there way to the front doors of the hotel. Orchid lets Kenzi lead the way as they exit the hotel.
Kenzi leads them around the block and to a facility with an enclosed pool designed specifically for providing low impact and high resistance workouts. Kenzi shows her Gold Card to the front desk and they take buzz her and Orchid inside. As the two get ready, Kenzi put her hand on the girl’s shoulder, “Hey! For today’s read, I don’t want you to feel any pressure, okay? Francis pretty much left it up to me…and the way I see it…the part is already yours if you want it. You have a ‘look’ that the camera loves and I know that it will come across great on television! You’re going to be a huge star…I can see it now!”
Dog barked as Kenzi put four tiny floaties on his tiny legs and walked into the pool with him. She wadded around, getting acclimated to the water’s temperature as she smiled at Orchid, “This is going to be SO much fun!”
Orchid gets in and can’t help but giggle a bit as she look on and sees Dog having a ball. She turns to look at Kenzi.
Orchid: I’m not worried about the read to be honest. Excited yes worried no. I didn’t want to bring this up before as I wanted to make sure I get the part because I earned it not for the extra viewers it will bring but I need to be honest.
Kenzi’s eyebrows get raised a bit waiting and wanting to hear but Orchid is about to tell her. Orchid Sees this and gives Kenzi a smile to assure her its nothing bad. Kenzi’s eyebrows get lowered back and smiles back. We see Dog getting too excited for his own good as we can see him wigging his tiny tail enjoying the pool.
Orchid: I was a Spokes model for Maybelline (cosmetics). Former Spokes model of 2% (Korean mineral water). Former spokes model of Pantene shampoo. Former spokesperson for Coca-Cola (Asia). Former spokesperson for Lenovo Computers. During that time I was asked to be part of the Miss China Pageant but I turned it down 4 years in a row. The people in China would be trilled and there will be an audience there wanting to see the show. Between all of that and of course wrestling being in front of a camera keeps natural to me. Oh plus I also helped in a few movies but as a fight scene choreographer. I hope that’s ok that I waited to tell you this.
Kenzi smiled as she gave a relieved sigh. “Whoooo! I didn’t know what you were going to tell me there!” Kenzi paddled over next to Orchid, “To be perfectly honest, you seem more experienced that anyone else we have hired so far! So, as far as I can tell…it’s really lucky for me that I found you when I did!”
Kenzi dove under the water and came back up with a weight in each hand as she started to run through the water, working against the resistance it created. “How are you feeling about your match this weekend? It’s a pretty big opportunity.” She paused, “Let alone you’ll be going up against one of my best friends…”
She let that last sentence dangle in the air as she watched Orchid’s reaction.
Orchid watched Kenzi pick up the weights and Orchid goes to grab some as well. (Orchid has never done any pool exercises so she will just mimic Kenzis workout.) AS Kenzi asked the question Orchid for no second wasted replies.
Orchid: To be honest I my mentality is different then most who wrestlers.
Orchid looks at Kenzi to make sure she is doing the exercise correctly. Orchid downs down to grab heavier weights. She comes back up and continues to mimic Kenzis workout.
Orchid: I view every wrestling opponent as I do a Marital Artist. Competition is just that, in the ring we compete to win but also to put on a live action pack match. As to who I fight, well it could be your best friend, an enemy, a member of the Kentourage, even you.
Kenzi stopped and stared at Orchid, then a smile touched her lips. "Alright...you go girl!" She eyed the weights that Orchid was using, noting they were a good deal heavier than hers. She dropped hers, opting for heavier ones as she attempted to match the girl's intensity...as best she could.
Kenzi strained as the much heavier weight bore down on her. "It's a fact of the business...I'd never hold it against you...especially since I'd win..." Kenzi laughed, splashing water at the girl.
AS Orchid gets hit in the face with some water Orchid tried to do the same but Dog gives Orchid mean side look and starts to begin to growl.
Orchid: Oh I’m sorry Dog, were just playing.
Orchid stops and goes back to the exercise routine, Dog goes back to swimming. Orchid looks at Kenzi.
Orchid: Good to hear since not all matches in the ring have to be about hate or vengeance. I believe that in wrestling, fighting for nothing more then putting on a show is just as great. The fans love it just as much. I mean,
Orchid goes under the water to drop the heavier weights for the lighter ones she was using earlier to give less stress and add more reps.
Orchid: If Megan Helms-King decided to book Kenzi vs. Orchid It would be nothing more then the new girl vs. the Number 1 ranked LAW wrestler.
Orchid smiles at Kenzi and nods a few times.
Orchid: You didn't think I knew huh. I may have been on a cruise ship for a SCW show but I keep up with everything. When the show ended I went back to my room went to my tablet and there it was in front of my eyes. I was excited to see your name at the top of the list. Now they can’t deny you that title shot, right?
Kenzi grinned at Orchid, while also letting out a sigh of relief as she dropped the heavier weights. “You know…I really want to believe that. I mean, I have fought so hard and met every bar that they have set…beat this person and you’ll make your mark. Beat that person and you’ll have opportunity…” The smile faded and she shrugged her shoulders, “I’m starting to think that Ria is right…maybe they will never give me that opportunity.”
She swam over to Dog, leading the floating pup along. “I’m just floating along at the whim…just waiting to get close to what I want…” she leaned down in the water as Dog swam towards her face, “…then when I get close, the push me away…” she gave Dog a gentle nudge that sent him spinning off in the opposite direction, much to his displeasure.
Kenzi backstroked away, seeming more melancholy now. “Megan said I had to settle things with Blake first…so I will. I’m going to go to LAW 52 and I am going to clear the air so that she can go her way and I can go mines. After that…there are no more excuses…and I won’t be taking ‘NO’ for an answer!”
Orchid: Well hopefully you get that title shot soon. But first make sure that knee of yours is at 100% know one wants to see you get hurt.
Orchid drops the weights in the water. Orchid goes from a smile to a straight face.
Orchid: Come to think of it they named you as the number wrestler of LAW sure we all know the ranks get updated as we have a show but in there first ranking Kenzi Grey was number one. No one can take that away from you. Be proud of that, I know I am. Plus that should give you merits (Orchid thinks to herself "yes I think merit is a good choice of word".) to get that title shot.
Orchid looks at Dog. The dog is swimming when all of a sudden Orchids alarm goes off we hear . It is time for Orchid to get a round of the 28 movement stands of Tai Chi. Orchid looks at Kenzi.
Orchid: Sorry just will just take a second. I want to get in some Tai Chi while I'm still in the pool. After this wee will need to get ready to go.
Orchid gets in her stands and begins. The beat kicks in and we see Dog shocking its booty. Kenzi giggles a bit. Orchid sees all of this off the corner of her right eye but does not laugh. The Dog makes his way to Orchid and is seen right in front of her. Dog turns around and starts to shake his but again. Orchid keeps a straight face but deep down inside she is laughing her ass off. As Orchid gets to her closing stance she can no longer hold the laugher and laughs so hard we can hear her let out a snort. Then both Kenzi and Orchid laughed about that. As the two regain composure Orchid makes her way to the end of the pool.
Orchid: That was fun and Dog is a trip. I think we should get going thou I hate to be late for anything. Plus I have two outfits I want you to see. I wasn’t sure which one I should wear.
Kenzi climbed out, taking Dog underarm as she plucked off his floaties. "I'm sure you look amazing in everything, so I wouldn't sweaT it if I were you." She toweled herself off and then Dog.
"I'm going to hit the showers and we can leave right from here for the read..." She paused and turned back to Orchid, "But...one piece of advice to get you through. If you really want to maKe an impression...buy your co-star ice cream!" Kenzi smiled at her, "I hear she's a sucker for the stuff!"
Last Edit: Aug 2, 2016 16:46:06 GMT -5 by Kenzi Grey
Both make there way to the locker room to hit the showers. After a quick shower Kenzi and Orchid get dressed. Orchid tries on the two outfits. Kenzi insists that Orchid is fine with either one. Orchid decides to keep the second one then. The two or about to make there way make there way out of the Gold Coast Club. Before the two are stopped by a gentlemen. He begins speaking in Cantonese. Orchid replies back and smiles at the man. He hands her a camera and Orchid asks Kenzi if she can take a picture of the two. Kenzi takes the camera and takes a photo of the two.
Kenzi hands the camera back to the man. The man nods at Kenzi. The man thanks Orchid in Cantonese. Orchid bows at the man. Orchid turns to Kenzi and makes her way back to her.
Orchid: Thanks for that. That was T.O.P. he is a member of the BIGBANG. It’s a Korean boy band. He is here hoping to make a deal with snap chat. He asked me if I can help him so I said sure.
Kenzi and Orchid make there way out of the Gold Coast Club. Orchid looks around taking in the view then looks at Kenzi
Kenzi wiggled her eyebrows, “You’re speaking my language now girlie!” She looked back over her shoulder at the man Orchid had just taken a picture with and it made her think of Bobbi London, her old bodyguard that was now in the employ of her mother. Kenzi was supposed to be helping her with her rap career, but she had gotten so wrapped up with other nonsense that it had fallen by the wayside. There was nothing to be done about it now.
Kenzi grabbed her by her hand and took her to a corner ice cream stand that was slightly off the beaten path, definitely not a place known to anyone but locals. She turned to her friend with a broad grin, “I know you were supposed to buy, but this one is my treat because it’s my favorite and I want it to become yours too!” Kenzi brought a pair of tropical blended cones with chunks of fruit mixed throughout. The pair proceeded to catch a ride to the studio, eating the frosted treats and talking about what had gotten them into the sport.
It wasn’t long until the pair were headed to one of the smaller sound stages that would serve as the backdrop for the table read. Kenzi introduced Orchid to one of the casting directors, an older woman with a wrinkled face and stringy greying hair. After the introduction, the woman looked down her nose as Orchid, raising one of eyebrows, “Orchid? Is that your first name or your last name?” She paused, seeing Kenzi giving her the stink eye. “I’m only asking…if she gets the part…what do we put in the credits?”
