On a lone New Mexico Highway, our unlikely heroines rocket down it in Alice Knight’s brand new camper. With War Games only a little over a week away, the team known as Thought 4 Food have had a lot on their minds as far their wrestling careers go. They are so close to ending The Family once and for all but both know that it isn’t going to be THAT easy. Ian Bishop and his friends have NEVER made it that easy for them, why should they start now? Even though Brianna has recruited a hell of a team and she is confident that they all have the Family’s number ...she knows that being overzealous is the key to failure. She has seen Ian choose that path way too many times before and she was not going to adopt his bad habits. With this match weighing heavy in her mind so does the issue of her not having an academic career anymore. Being a wrestler is great but there is still that feeling of rejection that looms within her when she thinks about her former. But one thing that keeps the stress from consuming her into NOT being the positive go getter that she is is spending time with her good friend Alice Knight. Brianna drives the camper down the road while Alice controls the radio and stops at Third Bass’s Pop Goes the Weasel! Alice’s head bobs up and down to the tune as she yells over it to speak to her smiling but maybe a little stressed out friend.
Alice Knight- Isn’t it funny we’re headed to Truth or Consequences, New Mexico for Massacre this week, in a RV of all things. Just like in that one movie. I hope we don’t get hijacked by a mullet headed Kiefer Sutherland and crew… you ever seen that flick? What a gem, Brianna. What a hell of a gem… wow, I can’t believe it’s only a few weeks until Total Demolition, and the Family will be over. Done with. Bye bye. Bye bye The Family… everything you worked for with Ian, Roach, Mario, wherever he is… Fuller… has been building to this ending. It’s been a bumpy road… just like in that Kiefer Sutherland movie. You have to see it… there’s a whole quarter flipping scene… we’ll have to find it in a bargain bin sometime… what a gem!
Brianna, who is still getting used to driving on the right side of the road in states gives Alice a brief glance while recalls a film that she at the cinema during an awful date she had once with a Geology professor. The movie wasn’t funny but it also wasn’t offensive but unfortunately Geologists are the retail store supervisor in the academic world.
Brianna Casablancas- I don’t know about a Kiefer Sutherland movie love but I enjoyed that comedic romp starring Robin Williams where he drove around in an RV and wondered what happened to his career.
Alice stops and thinks for a moment and tries to re-tell the movie that she think she saw. With a bubbly demeanor she tells a plot of a film that would be the greatest movie ever conceived.
Alice Knight- Ah yes, i believe it was called Patch Adams. He won an Oscar for best supporting actor for it… Matt Affleck wrote it. I think he comes out of an egg at some point too? I don’t know…
Brianna quickly gives her a perplexed look as she skids on the road but steadies her grip on the wheel.
Brianna Casablancas- That does not sound exactly right but that would be one movie I would pay to see in the cinemas ...but not for the eleven dollars you in the states charge. Last week I paid money just to watch a handsome hobo decked in the American Flag and a shield fight his own government. Do all your movies send mixed messages like that?
Alice Knight- I don’t go for documentaries. But if it has Liam Neeson shooting people on a airplane… count me in. But not for eleven dollars. But you know what i would pay eleven dollars to see. Team Thought 4 Food teaming up once again! The crowd will be buzzing to see us on Massacre next week. What better way to celebrate the death and resurrection of our lord and savior… Jesus…? Yeah. Jesus Christ. Also, the birth and death of the easter bunny. Just fun times all around…
Alice gives a sincere and solid look while talking about Jesus. There is a brief pause as Brianna considers their partnership on this upcoming episode of Massacre. In many ways, it felt like a simpler time to her for whatever reason. Heck, that was even before Ian decided to make things personal over a celebration. To her, the fact that he always wants to violently throw a fit when she interrupts him doing something shows that he just isn’t comfortable in his own skin. He isn’t hurting anybody but himself by doing that. But before all of that, it was just Brianna and Alice taking on the Family. But since then so much has changed. NOW they have an army to fight the Family and they are racing towards the climax of what was at one point just a bitter guy that didn’t like that a spunky woman got word of mouth. While she loves holding the title, she feels she is at her best when her and Alice are in the ring together. These thoughts go through her head as they race down the very dusty and very boring New Mexico highway. A few cars pass by the old camper but besides that, it is a lonely road. Brianna looks towards her partner.
Brianna Casablancas- It has been awhile since our last team up has it not? I guess we have both been busy what with myself embarrassing Ian at Blackout 2 and you putting Roach in his place on top of the fact that we have been prepping for what will be The Family’s last hurrah as a group. Now, I am not one for breaking up a band but The Family lives in a cocoon of bitterness and rage and hate. They are just unhealthy for each other and all around bad for the company that employs them. I guess you can just call Team Brianna Yoko Ono in a little over a week. But yes, I am happy that before that you and I get to reunite in tag team competition in preparation for that War Games where this whole bloody feud will finally end. And we are facing off against one half of the tag team champions and metrosexual mate. It is a good opportunity for our team to not only have momentum going into Total Demolition but a tag title shot down the line.
Alice nods her head while considering this but remembering the factor that Brianna forgot all about when thinking of tag team titles. On their team is one half of the tag team champions and quite the adversary. But in Brianna’s mind, A LOT of this is business. While she loves Alice in a hetero manner and likes MJ Bell. Amber and Mia are just business. While she respects BOTH as in ring competitors, she also doesn’t KNOW them. She doesn’t really trust Mia but Brianna can see herself gelling well with Amber. However, Brianna knows that Amber is experienced and is no stranger to competition within a group. Brianna smiles as she thinks about the smashing team that she has assembled. Alice shrugs to voice her concern as they pass a sign advertising the BEST waffles in New Mexico.
Alice Knight- Totally! I’d hate for us to take away the belt from Amber, being apart of our team and everything. But if it has to be done, then it has to be done. And what is with this big dude, Anubis? I mean I respect that the guy doesn’t need a microphone to talk to an audience. It’s pretty impressive. But does he think he’s some egyptian god or something? I’ve seen the Mummy movies, and if the Encino Man, Link, can take down the gods, then i’m pretty sure we can too. (smiles at Brianna proudly) That’s right, i googled what Anubis stands for… i did some research.
Brianna quickly takes a glance at her laptop as she once again swerves the camper. She recalls finding some weird things on their when she woke up in the morning. If it were anybody else, it would make her feel uncomfortable. But she very much enjoys her good buddy Alice ...even all of her quirks.
Brianna Casablancas- I was wondering how Furry Erotica was on my browser and why a fake nude picture of myself was my screen saver. And what is this “Ben Drowned” thing that keeps popping up?
Alice Knight(serious)- Um...uh… hah- hackers. Yeah, they can zip in and zap their way into the machine and do all kind of… yeah, hackers. Zippity-zapity. You know… HEY! Not to change the subject, but i forgot to tell you. President Dean was SO impressed with my work lately in the federation that he finally paid me something. Twenty big ones… (she digs in her pocket and pulls out a cheque and hands it to Brianna)... i tried to bargain for 40, since this bunny costume was around the-... i mean, um… buns. Hotdog buns. For hot dogs. You know how much i love hotdogs...Buns. For. Hotdogs. Yes…
Alice hands her the cheque and Brianna looks at it very curious. She then looks at the amount and then back towards Alice.
Brianna Casablancas (looking at cheque while driving)- Um, Alice dear ...this cheque is not for twenty dollars but it seems to be for 2k. Dean does not pay me that per week. With that said, you have certainly earned it.
Alice, who has never seen anything for that amount is speechless for a few moments before actually getting excited. There is a lot of surprise on her face as well as doubt.
Alice Knight- 2k? As in two thousand dollars?
Brianna Casablancas- It appears so.
Brianna smiles at her, probably knowing that this was a clerical error on President Dean’s part. But she also knows that Alice has deserved her pay and that they are defending his company against a thorn in his side.
Alice Knight- I could almost buy a whole Hotdog vender machine with that kind of money… hmmm… Should i ...return it? Like you said, I do kind of earn it… and maybe Dean consciously wrote it down on purpose and wanted me to have this money… I don’t know… what do you think?
Brianna knew the truth and she knew that Alice probably as well but again, there is no harm in Alice getting retroactively paid for her hard work. Once again the camper passes by the “Best Waffles in New Mexico” sign. It is moments like this that Brianna wished she was not on a strict wrestler’s diet. She responds to her partner with a lot of candor.
Brianna Casablancas- It is hard to say love but as your psychologist, tag team partner, and financial advisor, I say that as much as I like Dean ...mistake or not ...your risked life facing off against Roach. You have fought against The Family with me, a group that was pain in his arse until we started gathering our team. This is your cheque for 2k ...you bloody well deserve it.
Alice nods her head believing that what Brianna says is true. So far, Brianna has really been an asset to her career and she has been a nice and caring friend along the way. Most in this business would just have used her as a lackey but Brianna legitimately likes and respects her and doesn’t treat like she is homeless.
Alice Knight- Yeah. I did lose a lot of ants in that match too. I can’t get those ants back! Plus i’m smart enough, good enough and heck, people like me! I deserve… hell… we deserve to spend some of this money. Before he cancels it too.
Suddenly, Brianna gets an idea. Only being in the states for a few years and most of that was for her academic career, she has not visited ALL of the sights this great country has to offer. She also pretty sure that Alice has not herself. The young psychologist and Central champion thinks she knows the best way to take the edge off with two HUGE matches coming up and to get her mind off of not having a job anymore. She is sure that Alice could use it as well. Here she is asking her good friend to go to war for her and if they do not do something fun, she feels that she would be taking advantage of her.
Brianna Casablancas- You know, we are on the west coast. It might be a LITTLE out of our way but I hear that quite few miles up there is a place full of neon lights, tourist attractions, and several games of chance. It would be a great place to cut loose and enjoy your well earned paycheck. Besides, I doubt it will be the last one you see.
Alice Knight(thinking it over)- Well, you do know how much i love neon lights. Let’s do it! Let’s friggen do it! (they high five each other) Also, on a totally different note, you have to tell me how to clear web history on the laptop and… you know what, later. We’ll worry about that later… let’s spend some CIZZ-ASH!!!
Brianna Casablancas- JOLLY GOOD!
Alice Knight looks at her with an urge but she does not know if acting on that urge would be appropriate. But mostly she was just worried of the cliche.
Alice Knight- Is this the part where we say “Vegas, Baby?”
Brianna Casablancas- I think we can pass at that one love.
Alice Knight- Oh, thank god!
Brianna turns up the radio as early 2000’s ROCK LEGENDS Unwritten Law sing about Seeing Red or following the leader or something catchy but meaningless like that. Brianna sings along to it ...and Alice pretends like she knows the words and sings along as well.
------
Later
Alice Knight and Brianna wander enter the entryway of the beautiful entrance of the Luxor Hotel and Casino. Brianna looks over at Alice ...who is dressed in a bunny costume. Many people stare at her Alice but she pays them no mind. Brianna, who at times is kind of conservative, smiles enjoying Alice just not caring what other thing of her. Some kids call her the “hot easter bunny” as one guy made eyes at her and even offered her two hundred dollars to go to his hotel room so he could dress as a fox. Brianna talked her out of it. She looks at her friend.
Brianna Casablancas- You yanks really get festive about Easter?
Alice Knight- That’s EGGxactly right!
Alice says hopping in place in her bunny costume. Brianna is dressed more ready for Las Vegas in a black dress that rides just a tad bit shorter than she is used to and is a more low cut than her usual casual gear.. But she figured she needs to embrace the world she is inhabiting this evening. And she is even a little self conscious over the scar on her leg that she sustained a few months ago. Brianna then looks around the casino on this Friday evening. Yes, there are young guys and girls smoking indoors. And sure there is gambling going on ...but it isn’t AS insane as the movies and commercials make it out to be.
Brianna Casablancas- Smashing! Funny, you hear a lot about this place on the tele and other place and it is surprisingly not the debauchery laden drunken orgy that everybody makes it out to be.
As the young psychologist in the dress and the homeless person in the bunny costume stop both are aware that they are underneath a huge statue of the Egyptian God Anubis. Brianna looks at it considering exactly what name means. There have been several instances of men and women coming in claiming to be their nightmares and the end all be all and the bringers of death ...most of those people did not last long once they lost a match. Alice recalls an encounter they had outside of the Luxor.
Alice Knight- It’s still early, Bria-Bria. But i did like the feller dressed up as Doctor Evil that greeted us outside the building. I don’t care if the movies are ten years old, funny is funny.
Brianna tries to think exactly WHAT she was talking and then has a horrible realization about the “Dr. Evil Impersonator.” Brianna’s face turns red with embarrassment for her friend.
Brianna Casablancas- Um, Alice ...I think that was a cancer patient.
Underneath the giant dog headed statue Alice doesn’t think her friend is right this time ...she could swear that was Dr. Evil
Alice Knight(putting her pinky finger to her bottom lip)- Riiiiiiiiiiii-ght. (laughs) I can see why Anubis or whatever his name picked his name though. He should totally deck out into more of an egyptian look. Be the real deal. Danny B too. And their lady friend. The three of them. That would be pretty cool… yeah?
They both stare up at the statue of Anubis as people look on at the furry and what they perceive to probably be her prostitute friend. Both of their minds are back on their opponents for Massacre before they let a little loose in the city of sin.
Brianna Casablancas- It would definitely be making most of having a name. It would be better than their whole current lack of themeing they currently have going on. Danny B is a Ripper. Anubis is named after an Egyptian God. And they can call themselves The Demons of Death. Again, I know they are going for a whole dark, scary aura ...but they need to coordinate that a little better amongst themselves. Maybe it is the intellectual in me speaking here but this whole Demons of Death thing just feels thrown together. I know there has been weeks and weeks of buildup for this silver haired bloke but his first appearance was so random ...it was like someone was just trying to take advantage of being at the end of an episode of Massacre but there was no plan in place. Now, you have this tag team champion who already has an amazing, reliable tag team partner trying to shoehorn this other entity into Danny’s very busy schedule. This on top of the fact that Danny B is quickly rising up the ranks up the ranks here in OCW. Having this third wheel or tag along makes no sense ...no matter what you name him. And if you are going to force this EVIL Egyptian God into your act, at least have the decency to pick a team name that makes sense for both of you. The Death part I get because of you Anubis. But Danny is not a demon nor does he dress up like one. Perhaps the Grim Reapers might have been more fitting. You know because of the Death theme and the scythe rips things. But who am I to judge a name of a tag team? What matters is what they can do in the ring. We know what Danny B has to offer and that he IS very much a threat to us going into War Games but Anubis is an unknown.
Alice Knight- The Demons of Death. (chuckles) So campy. I love it. And hate it. I hate it more than i love it… but you’re so right. What is he thinking? And apparently they’ve been best of friends and worst of enemies in the past. I don’t see how they can trust each other to form this little gang of theirs… but Danny can go in the ring that’s for sure. Not sure about the giant though. I do find it funny that these, Demons of Death? Yeah, whatever, i find it funny that they are targeting the Family of all people. When Team Brianna, us, pretty much have put a stop to them so far, and at Total Demolition will do just that. That’s like showing up to a party late and doing a funny cowboy dance and getting a few chuckles even though others, me to be specific, have been doing the funny cowboy robot dance all night entertaining the, um, guests and getting bigger laughs and… because… um… you’re dance is better than theirs…and you know... it’s kind of like that, right?
Brianna taps her on the back of the shoulder while chuckling a bit at the picture she was describing to her.
Brianna Casablancas- I think the analogy is breaking down a bit. But I understand what you’re trying to say.
Alice is now fully up in arms underneath the big statue while wearing her bunny costume. She knows what the rest of the world know ...the Family is falling apart and everyone wants to take credit for it. Alice destroyed Roach. He was never the same after that. Brianna has outed Ian as a fool several times. They got the ball rolling and are going to be the one to finish it. Alice continues her rant on the late comers they are facing ...again, in a bunny costume.
Alice Knight- Right? Right? I’m just saying that it’s pretty lame and late for them to go after the Family. I’m not saying those three could do some serious damage to the Family. Since the Family is pretty over rated in the first place.
Brianna gives her partner a smirk before walking and talking towards the casino floor. Oddly enough, in Las Vegas, they don’t stand out. EVERYONE is a freak or a weirdo. Brianna begins to, again, feel rather self conscious in her low cut dress or is it high cut? She figures that it is both. But she continues to walk through the Egyptian themed Casino with men leering at her ...or staring at her bunny friend. Or they could be staring at the Central title that she carries on her shoulders.
Brianna Casablancas- I think all the blokes and birds have been seeing them for what they are as of late. I have beat three of them in singles competition while their leader now has to watch his shows from the trunk of the car. Who does his job go to? An ill-equipped excitable sexist and racist man who you do not have to beat ...just let him embarrass himself which is what he is best at. The sad thing is that he is more equipped than the rest of his mates. When the best person you can get to fill in for your leader is B-Minus, your mission is a bloody lost cause. One half of who we are facing this week is a man I respect more than all of that team. Danny B, my fellow countryman, has come a long way since being one of the first eliminated from that battle royal at Resurrection. He is certainly not someone to be scoffed at or underestimated. And he certainly knows how to team up with folks. But here is the thing: all of his partners are people who has at times been at odds with him. Amber Ryan has absolutely no respect for him. Yes, he has won the tag team titles with her but that was being the last to enter that turmoil match and before that they got past Noah Mackenzie and The Great One in the Lethal Lottery, two men who are no longer employed by the company due to having bad attitudes. Rest assured, they are NOT friends and they have not stood the test of time yet. But then we have this unknown; this x-factor ...who we are told is an old friend, mentor AND old rival. It is great that he is able to put aside old grudges and team with an enemy but this is the second freindemy that he has aligned with. Perhaps he isn’t the team player type. Perhaps he is only orientated towards his interests and not his partners or vice versa for Anubis. The two of us? We are friends. We like each other. I think many can agree that we work together for that reason. There is no hidden animosity or competition between the two of us ...just a desire to be in the ring side by side, enjoying what we do.
Alice jumps up in agreement with her partner as they pass by a few slots. They decide to forgo playing those odds. Little does Alice know that she will be a prodigy in a complicated game of chance that might or might not be illegal.
Alice Knight- That’s exactly right. We share a ride. We share food. You even give me 15 minutes alone with the OCW Central Championship a day to do whatever i please with it. We understand each other. But Anubis and Danny, ‘the Demons’, made this open challenge to anyone. Planning to make an example and a huge first impact together on Massacre. They might have expected someone like Collins and Carson, but i don’t think they expected us to take the challenge. They probably thought this week on Massacre would be a walk in the park for them. But it certainly won’t be. But it also won’t be super-duper easy for us. I mean like you said, Danny B is a established talented cat and knows his way around the ring. Hell he’s one half of the OCW Tag Team champs. And this Anubis guy, as silly as he looks and sounds, he’s a big dude. Plus we have to watch out for Danny’s wife on the outside too.
Brianna slaps her title with a proud smile on her face. This pride that she has had of late DOES concern her. She knows that she cannot get too overzealous because she has beat the Family in one on one matches doesn’t mean that their skills are comparable to the rest of the company. In fact, Brianna has been embroiled in this battle for so long that it HAS been awhile since she stepped away from The Family and tested herself against the rest of the roster. She knows that in matches like the one coming, it is easy to forget that some people can go at a high level and that she DOES need to step up her game. She CANNOT get content with her standings. She must always be challenging herself. And as she continues to look at the title while walking with her friend ...she realizes that Danny B AND Anubis will provide her that challenge. She taps the title again.
Brianna Casablancas- On Top of that, and not to get too self-involved here, there is a big bullseye on my head due to the Central Championship. It isn’t like facing a member of The Family like I have been for what seems like FOREVER who has proven time and again that they just are not up to par. If one of these men manage to pin me, then there is another person in line to challenge for this title ...which I do not mind, but it does not make me look like much of a champion now does it? There is a lot more on the line with this one then there seems to be on the surface. Going into War Games, this is a cannot lose situation for us.
Alice has a worried look on her face underneath the bunny costume as Brianna stresses how important this coming match is. They both realize that it might not be the War Games match but EVERY match is important. MOMENTUM is important. .
Alice Knight- Stop it, you’re making nervous. But… but… but you’re right. We need to pull out this victory over these two. Mia and MJ earn our advantage for War Games and here we go losing to a couple of demons a week later. Plus President Dean graciously gave me the two thousand dollars to blow on anything i want… i’ve tasted it. I’ve tasted what it’s like to be rich. I can’t go back now. If we lose, who knows how much he will give me next time? One thousand nine hundred and ninety nine? One thousand nine hundred and ninety eight? One thousand nine hundred and…
She pulls money out of her bunny person which are now in bill instead of a check. She waves it in front of her face ...as they pass some members who look to be apart of the Yakuza. They take a glance at that money that Alice is flashing around ...not to mention the gold that Brianna has on her shoulder. They slowly begin to trail the two ladies. Brianna looks over at her partner who is waving her money around like she was a pimp of some kind.
Brianna Casablancas- SPEAKING of which, what do you want to spend your money on next? Do you want to gamble? Play the slots? Buy some drinks? Buy a hooker and discreetly mentally torture her through a series of personal questions about her youth and parents?
Brianna isn’t evil ...but the human mind, especially those with sad lives, do interest her. When an opportunity to examine a sad soul that this city is known for, she will jump at the opportunity. She doesn’t really see it as THAT cruel ...but it probably is.
Alice Knight(rubbing her chin)- Hmmm. What were the first three again? Can’t we gamble and drink with the hooker after the questioning and then play with sluts… slots… SLOTS…? Do we have enough money for all that? If the hooker is really cheap? Not pricey like Elisabeth Shue but cheap-cheap?
Brianna nods her head as they do not even notice the yakuza members trailing them.
Brianna Casablancas- As long as you do not mind buying a prostitute that we probably shouldn’t touch whatsoever ...I think we can afford it.
Alice lifts her arm up for another high five and Brianna knows she has to carefully lift her arm up given her “Las Vegas” clothes. But she manages to do it but VERY slowly.
Alice Knight- WICKED! Let’s do it!
-----------------
Two hours later, Brianna and Alice have moved their party to The Excalibur as they are at what looks to be a blackjack table. The two girls are wearing paper crowns, the time you would get at Medieval times. Next to Brianna is an overweight woman with dyed red haired and tattoos all over her arm in a tube top. The woman is crying into her hands and mumbling something about ‘her dad.’ Surrounding the table are what looks to be members of the Yakuza and an old man wearing overalls. At the table they are playing a VERY complicated game. The dealer holds out both hands and Alice points to his right hand. He opens it up to reveal a black stone. She then does the running man before going to the table and grabbing a dart. She throws it at the nearby dart board with three pictures on it: David Hasselhoff, Calista Flockhart, and Alf in the middle. The dart lands right between Hasselhoff's eyes. She then spins around twice then the dealer gives her jazz hands three times ...she responds by raising her fist and doing jazz hands five more times. She then yells out “Yahtzee” Everyone cheers as the Yakuza looks upset at what many should assume is win. Alice pulls not just her chips but everyone else’s chips towards herself.
Brianna Casablancas- So does that mean you are winning?
Alice Knight- I have no idea!
Yakuza Gang Leader- (yelling something in Japanese)
Not really knowing what she is doing, she puts her chips back in as does all of the members of the Yakuza. The older man in the overalls looks upset as the Yakuza members look at him.
Farmer- I am sorry but I have nothing else to put up. You wiped me clean ...unless …
He pulls a picture of an old crop duster out of his pocket and puts it on the table.
Farmer- That is all I have.
All of the yakuza members look unimpressed with this offering but Brianna and Alice look SO excited with this.
Brianna Casablancas- You are on!
The Yakuza gang member nod at the dealer. The dealer pulls something out from underneath the table. He puts a bunny on the table. Then he puts some fuzzy dice on there. And then he grabs a kitten from underneath the table. The kitten and the rabbit stare at each other as all of the people at the table stare at the two animals with all of their money on the line.
-------
Alice Knight: TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS! I JUST WON TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS!
The girls jump up and down as Alice tries not to spill her HUGE drink as Brianna holds a suitcase of the money that Alice won. They are just outside the Bellagio as they are celebrate this huge victory for Alice. For whatever reason, Alice wanted the money in ALL bills despite Brianna insisting they put it in her bank account.
Brianna Casablancas: That is fantastic news dear. You should invest it when we get back to the RV.
Alice Knight: FUCK THAT! I am buying a SOLID GOLD ant farm.
Brianna shrugs at her. She has decided a long time ago to let her friend be who she is ...and make the mistakes she is going to make.
Brianna Casablancas: That is great, love.
She takes a sip of her New Castle as they look at the beautiful lit up city of sin. Alice slurps down her tropical drink.
Alice Knight: THIS IS AMAZING! You should have some.
Brianna Casablancas: Jolly good.
Brianna takes a good sip of her drink while holding her title over her shoulder the briefcase in one hand and her beer in the other. She feels the alcohol go RIGHT to her system ...and maybe something else. But also it is a very delicious drink.
Brianna Casablancas: That is great. What is in it?
Alice looks at her drink and tries to recall the ingredients.
Alice Knight: Cranberry juice, tequila, vodka, Rohypnol, and jagermeister.
Brianna Casablancas: Rohypnol? You are drinking what the kids call a roofie?
Alice gives her partner a VERY sly smile.
Alice Knight: It isn’t a PARTY WITHOUT IT!
She lifts up her arm before yelling “WOOO!” as she raced down the strip now much richer than she was before they decided to go to Las Vegas. Casablancas follows behind her with a VERY concerned look on her face.
Brianna Casablancas: Bloody Hell!
Alice Knight- Isn’t it funny we’re headed to Truth or Consequences, New Mexico for Massacre this week, in a RV of all things. Just like in that one movie. I hope we don’t get hijacked by a mullet headed Kiefer Sutherland and crew… you ever seen that flick? What a gem, Brianna. What a hell of a gem… wow, I can’t believe it’s only a few weeks until Total Demolition, and the Family will be over. Done with. Bye bye. Bye bye The Family… everything you worked for with Ian, Roach, Mario, wherever he is… Fuller… has been building to this ending. It’s been a bumpy road… just like in that Kiefer Sutherland movie. You have to see it… there’s a whole quarter flipping scene… we’ll have to find it in a bargain bin sometime… what a gem!
Brianna, who is still getting used to driving on the right side of the road in states gives Alice a brief glance while recalls a film that she at the cinema during an awful date she had once with a Geology professor. The movie wasn’t funny but it also wasn’t offensive but unfortunately Geologists are the retail store supervisor in the academic world.
Brianna Casablancas- I don’t know about a Kiefer Sutherland movie love but I enjoyed that comedic romp starring Robin Williams where he drove around in an RV and wondered what happened to his career.
Alice stops and thinks for a moment and tries to re-tell the movie that she think she saw. With a bubbly demeanor she tells a plot of a film that would be the greatest movie ever conceived.
Alice Knight- Ah yes, i believe it was called Patch Adams. He won an Oscar for best supporting actor for it… Matt Affleck wrote it. I think he comes out of an egg at some point too? I don’t know…
Brianna quickly gives her a perplexed look as she skids on the road but steadies her grip on the wheel.
Brianna Casablancas- That does not sound exactly right but that would be one movie I would pay to see in the cinemas ...but not for the eleven dollars you in the states charge. Last week I paid money just to watch a handsome hobo decked in the American Flag and a shield fight his own government. Do all your movies send mixed messages like that?
Alice Knight- I don’t go for documentaries. But if it has Liam Neeson shooting people on a airplane… count me in. But not for eleven dollars. But you know what i would pay eleven dollars to see. Team Thought 4 Food teaming up once again! The crowd will be buzzing to see us on Massacre next week. What better way to celebrate the death and resurrection of our lord and savior… Jesus…? Yeah. Jesus Christ. Also, the birth and death of the easter bunny. Just fun times all around…
Alice gives a sincere and solid look while talking about Jesus. There is a brief pause as Brianna considers their partnership on this upcoming episode of Massacre. In many ways, it felt like a simpler time to her for whatever reason. Heck, that was even before Ian decided to make things personal over a celebration. To her, the fact that he always wants to violently throw a fit when she interrupts him doing something shows that he just isn’t comfortable in his own skin. He isn’t hurting anybody but himself by doing that. But before all of that, it was just Brianna and Alice taking on the Family. But since then so much has changed. NOW they have an army to fight the Family and they are racing towards the climax of what was at one point just a bitter guy that didn’t like that a spunky woman got word of mouth. While she loves holding the title, she feels she is at her best when her and Alice are in the ring together. These thoughts go through her head as they race down the very dusty and very boring New Mexico highway. A few cars pass by the old camper but besides that, it is a lonely road. Brianna looks towards her partner.
Brianna Casablancas- It has been awhile since our last team up has it not? I guess we have both been busy what with myself embarrassing Ian at Blackout 2 and you putting Roach in his place on top of the fact that we have been prepping for what will be The Family’s last hurrah as a group. Now, I am not one for breaking up a band but The Family lives in a cocoon of bitterness and rage and hate. They are just unhealthy for each other and all around bad for the company that employs them. I guess you can just call Team Brianna Yoko Ono in a little over a week. But yes, I am happy that before that you and I get to reunite in tag team competition in preparation for that War Games where this whole bloody feud will finally end. And we are facing off against one half of the tag team champions and metrosexual mate. It is a good opportunity for our team to not only have momentum going into Total Demolition but a tag title shot down the line.
Alice nods her head while considering this but remembering the factor that Brianna forgot all about when thinking of tag team titles. On their team is one half of the tag team champions and quite the adversary. But in Brianna’s mind, A LOT of this is business. While she loves Alice in a hetero manner and likes MJ Bell. Amber and Mia are just business. While she respects BOTH as in ring competitors, she also doesn’t KNOW them. She doesn’t really trust Mia but Brianna can see herself gelling well with Amber. However, Brianna knows that Amber is experienced and is no stranger to competition within a group. Brianna smiles as she thinks about the smashing team that she has assembled. Alice shrugs to voice her concern as they pass a sign advertising the BEST waffles in New Mexico.
Alice Knight- Totally! I’d hate for us to take away the belt from Amber, being apart of our team and everything. But if it has to be done, then it has to be done. And what is with this big dude, Anubis? I mean I respect that the guy doesn’t need a microphone to talk to an audience. It’s pretty impressive. But does he think he’s some egyptian god or something? I’ve seen the Mummy movies, and if the Encino Man, Link, can take down the gods, then i’m pretty sure we can too. (smiles at Brianna proudly) That’s right, i googled what Anubis stands for… i did some research.
Brianna quickly takes a glance at her laptop as she once again swerves the camper. She recalls finding some weird things on their when she woke up in the morning. If it were anybody else, it would make her feel uncomfortable. But she very much enjoys her good buddy Alice ...even all of her quirks.
Brianna Casablancas- I was wondering how Furry Erotica was on my browser and why a fake nude picture of myself was my screen saver. And what is this “Ben Drowned” thing that keeps popping up?
Alice Knight(serious)- Um...uh… hah- hackers. Yeah, they can zip in and zap their way into the machine and do all kind of… yeah, hackers. Zippity-zapity. You know… HEY! Not to change the subject, but i forgot to tell you. President Dean was SO impressed with my work lately in the federation that he finally paid me something. Twenty big ones… (she digs in her pocket and pulls out a cheque and hands it to Brianna)... i tried to bargain for 40, since this bunny costume was around the-... i mean, um… buns. Hotdog buns. For hot dogs. You know how much i love hotdogs...Buns. For. Hotdogs. Yes…
Alice hands her the cheque and Brianna looks at it very curious. She then looks at the amount and then back towards Alice.
Brianna Casablancas (looking at cheque while driving)- Um, Alice dear ...this cheque is not for twenty dollars but it seems to be for 2k. Dean does not pay me that per week. With that said, you have certainly earned it.
Alice, who has never seen anything for that amount is speechless for a few moments before actually getting excited. There is a lot of surprise on her face as well as doubt.
Alice Knight- 2k? As in two thousand dollars?
Brianna Casablancas- It appears so.
Brianna smiles at her, probably knowing that this was a clerical error on President Dean’s part. But she also knows that Alice has deserved her pay and that they are defending his company against a thorn in his side.
Alice Knight- I could almost buy a whole Hotdog vender machine with that kind of money… hmmm… Should i ...return it? Like you said, I do kind of earn it… and maybe Dean consciously wrote it down on purpose and wanted me to have this money… I don’t know… what do you think?
Brianna knew the truth and she knew that Alice probably as well but again, there is no harm in Alice getting retroactively paid for her hard work. Once again the camper passes by the “Best Waffles in New Mexico” sign. It is moments like this that Brianna wished she was not on a strict wrestler’s diet. She responds to her partner with a lot of candor.
Brianna Casablancas- It is hard to say love but as your psychologist, tag team partner, and financial advisor, I say that as much as I like Dean ...mistake or not ...your risked life facing off against Roach. You have fought against The Family with me, a group that was pain in his arse until we started gathering our team. This is your cheque for 2k ...you bloody well deserve it.
Alice nods her head believing that what Brianna says is true. So far, Brianna has really been an asset to her career and she has been a nice and caring friend along the way. Most in this business would just have used her as a lackey but Brianna legitimately likes and respects her and doesn’t treat like she is homeless.
Alice Knight- Yeah. I did lose a lot of ants in that match too. I can’t get those ants back! Plus i’m smart enough, good enough and heck, people like me! I deserve… hell… we deserve to spend some of this money. Before he cancels it too.
Suddenly, Brianna gets an idea. Only being in the states for a few years and most of that was for her academic career, she has not visited ALL of the sights this great country has to offer. She also pretty sure that Alice has not herself. The young psychologist and Central champion thinks she knows the best way to take the edge off with two HUGE matches coming up and to get her mind off of not having a job anymore. She is sure that Alice could use it as well. Here she is asking her good friend to go to war for her and if they do not do something fun, she feels that she would be taking advantage of her.
Brianna Casablancas- You know, we are on the west coast. It might be a LITTLE out of our way but I hear that quite few miles up there is a place full of neon lights, tourist attractions, and several games of chance. It would be a great place to cut loose and enjoy your well earned paycheck. Besides, I doubt it will be the last one you see.
Alice Knight(thinking it over)- Well, you do know how much i love neon lights. Let’s do it! Let’s friggen do it! (they high five each other) Also, on a totally different note, you have to tell me how to clear web history on the laptop and… you know what, later. We’ll worry about that later… let’s spend some CIZZ-ASH!!!
Brianna Casablancas- JOLLY GOOD!
Alice Knight looks at her with an urge but she does not know if acting on that urge would be appropriate. But mostly she was just worried of the cliche.
Alice Knight- Is this the part where we say “Vegas, Baby?”
Brianna Casablancas- I think we can pass at that one love.
Alice Knight- Oh, thank god!
Brianna turns up the radio as early 2000’s ROCK LEGENDS Unwritten Law sing about Seeing Red or following the leader or something catchy but meaningless like that. Brianna sings along to it ...and Alice pretends like she knows the words and sings along as well.
------
Later
Alice Knight and Brianna wander enter the entryway of the beautiful entrance of the Luxor Hotel and Casino. Brianna looks over at Alice ...who is dressed in a bunny costume. Many people stare at her Alice but she pays them no mind. Brianna, who at times is kind of conservative, smiles enjoying Alice just not caring what other thing of her. Some kids call her the “hot easter bunny” as one guy made eyes at her and even offered her two hundred dollars to go to his hotel room so he could dress as a fox. Brianna talked her out of it. She looks at her friend.
Brianna Casablancas- You yanks really get festive about Easter?
Alice Knight- That’s EGGxactly right!
Alice says hopping in place in her bunny costume. Brianna is dressed more ready for Las Vegas in a black dress that rides just a tad bit shorter than she is used to and is a more low cut than her usual casual gear.. But she figured she needs to embrace the world she is inhabiting this evening. And she is even a little self conscious over the scar on her leg that she sustained a few months ago. Brianna then looks around the casino on this Friday evening. Yes, there are young guys and girls smoking indoors. And sure there is gambling going on ...but it isn’t AS insane as the movies and commercials make it out to be.
Brianna Casablancas- Smashing! Funny, you hear a lot about this place on the tele and other place and it is surprisingly not the debauchery laden drunken orgy that everybody makes it out to be.
As the young psychologist in the dress and the homeless person in the bunny costume stop both are aware that they are underneath a huge statue of the Egyptian God Anubis. Brianna looks at it considering exactly what name means. There have been several instances of men and women coming in claiming to be their nightmares and the end all be all and the bringers of death ...most of those people did not last long once they lost a match. Alice recalls an encounter they had outside of the Luxor.
Alice Knight- It’s still early, Bria-Bria. But i did like the feller dressed up as Doctor Evil that greeted us outside the building. I don’t care if the movies are ten years old, funny is funny.
Brianna tries to think exactly WHAT she was talking and then has a horrible realization about the “Dr. Evil Impersonator.” Brianna’s face turns red with embarrassment for her friend.
Brianna Casablancas- Um, Alice ...I think that was a cancer patient.
Underneath the giant dog headed statue Alice doesn’t think her friend is right this time ...she could swear that was Dr. Evil
Alice Knight(putting her pinky finger to her bottom lip)- Riiiiiiiiiiii-ght. (laughs) I can see why Anubis or whatever his name picked his name though. He should totally deck out into more of an egyptian look. Be the real deal. Danny B too. And their lady friend. The three of them. That would be pretty cool… yeah?
They both stare up at the statue of Anubis as people look on at the furry and what they perceive to probably be her prostitute friend. Both of their minds are back on their opponents for Massacre before they let a little loose in the city of sin.
Brianna Casablancas- It would definitely be making most of having a name. It would be better than their whole current lack of themeing they currently have going on. Danny B is a Ripper. Anubis is named after an Egyptian God. And they can call themselves The Demons of Death. Again, I know they are going for a whole dark, scary aura ...but they need to coordinate that a little better amongst themselves. Maybe it is the intellectual in me speaking here but this whole Demons of Death thing just feels thrown together. I know there has been weeks and weeks of buildup for this silver haired bloke but his first appearance was so random ...it was like someone was just trying to take advantage of being at the end of an episode of Massacre but there was no plan in place. Now, you have this tag team champion who already has an amazing, reliable tag team partner trying to shoehorn this other entity into Danny’s very busy schedule. This on top of the fact that Danny B is quickly rising up the ranks up the ranks here in OCW. Having this third wheel or tag along makes no sense ...no matter what you name him. And if you are going to force this EVIL Egyptian God into your act, at least have the decency to pick a team name that makes sense for both of you. The Death part I get because of you Anubis. But Danny is not a demon nor does he dress up like one. Perhaps the Grim Reapers might have been more fitting. You know because of the Death theme and the scythe rips things. But who am I to judge a name of a tag team? What matters is what they can do in the ring. We know what Danny B has to offer and that he IS very much a threat to us going into War Games but Anubis is an unknown.
Alice Knight- The Demons of Death. (chuckles) So campy. I love it. And hate it. I hate it more than i love it… but you’re so right. What is he thinking? And apparently they’ve been best of friends and worst of enemies in the past. I don’t see how they can trust each other to form this little gang of theirs… but Danny can go in the ring that’s for sure. Not sure about the giant though. I do find it funny that these, Demons of Death? Yeah, whatever, i find it funny that they are targeting the Family of all people. When Team Brianna, us, pretty much have put a stop to them so far, and at Total Demolition will do just that. That’s like showing up to a party late and doing a funny cowboy dance and getting a few chuckles even though others, me to be specific, have been doing the funny cowboy robot dance all night entertaining the, um, guests and getting bigger laughs and… because… um… you’re dance is better than theirs…and you know... it’s kind of like that, right?
Brianna taps her on the back of the shoulder while chuckling a bit at the picture she was describing to her.
Brianna Casablancas- I think the analogy is breaking down a bit. But I understand what you’re trying to say.
Alice is now fully up in arms underneath the big statue while wearing her bunny costume. She knows what the rest of the world know ...the Family is falling apart and everyone wants to take credit for it. Alice destroyed Roach. He was never the same after that. Brianna has outed Ian as a fool several times. They got the ball rolling and are going to be the one to finish it. Alice continues her rant on the late comers they are facing ...again, in a bunny costume.
Alice Knight- Right? Right? I’m just saying that it’s pretty lame and late for them to go after the Family. I’m not saying those three could do some serious damage to the Family. Since the Family is pretty over rated in the first place.
Brianna gives her partner a smirk before walking and talking towards the casino floor. Oddly enough, in Las Vegas, they don’t stand out. EVERYONE is a freak or a weirdo. Brianna begins to, again, feel rather self conscious in her low cut dress or is it high cut? She figures that it is both. But she continues to walk through the Egyptian themed Casino with men leering at her ...or staring at her bunny friend. Or they could be staring at the Central title that she carries on her shoulders.
Brianna Casablancas- I think all the blokes and birds have been seeing them for what they are as of late. I have beat three of them in singles competition while their leader now has to watch his shows from the trunk of the car. Who does his job go to? An ill-equipped excitable sexist and racist man who you do not have to beat ...just let him embarrass himself which is what he is best at. The sad thing is that he is more equipped than the rest of his mates. When the best person you can get to fill in for your leader is B-Minus, your mission is a bloody lost cause. One half of who we are facing this week is a man I respect more than all of that team. Danny B, my fellow countryman, has come a long way since being one of the first eliminated from that battle royal at Resurrection. He is certainly not someone to be scoffed at or underestimated. And he certainly knows how to team up with folks. But here is the thing: all of his partners are people who has at times been at odds with him. Amber Ryan has absolutely no respect for him. Yes, he has won the tag team titles with her but that was being the last to enter that turmoil match and before that they got past Noah Mackenzie and The Great One in the Lethal Lottery, two men who are no longer employed by the company due to having bad attitudes. Rest assured, they are NOT friends and they have not stood the test of time yet. But then we have this unknown; this x-factor ...who we are told is an old friend, mentor AND old rival. It is great that he is able to put aside old grudges and team with an enemy but this is the second freindemy that he has aligned with. Perhaps he isn’t the team player type. Perhaps he is only orientated towards his interests and not his partners or vice versa for Anubis. The two of us? We are friends. We like each other. I think many can agree that we work together for that reason. There is no hidden animosity or competition between the two of us ...just a desire to be in the ring side by side, enjoying what we do.
Alice jumps up in agreement with her partner as they pass by a few slots. They decide to forgo playing those odds. Little does Alice know that she will be a prodigy in a complicated game of chance that might or might not be illegal.
Alice Knight- That’s exactly right. We share a ride. We share food. You even give me 15 minutes alone with the OCW Central Championship a day to do whatever i please with it. We understand each other. But Anubis and Danny, ‘the Demons’, made this open challenge to anyone. Planning to make an example and a huge first impact together on Massacre. They might have expected someone like Collins and Carson, but i don’t think they expected us to take the challenge. They probably thought this week on Massacre would be a walk in the park for them. But it certainly won’t be. But it also won’t be super-duper easy for us. I mean like you said, Danny B is a established talented cat and knows his way around the ring. Hell he’s one half of the OCW Tag Team champs. And this Anubis guy, as silly as he looks and sounds, he’s a big dude. Plus we have to watch out for Danny’s wife on the outside too.
Brianna slaps her title with a proud smile on her face. This pride that she has had of late DOES concern her. She knows that she cannot get too overzealous because she has beat the Family in one on one matches doesn’t mean that their skills are comparable to the rest of the company. In fact, Brianna has been embroiled in this battle for so long that it HAS been awhile since she stepped away from The Family and tested herself against the rest of the roster. She knows that in matches like the one coming, it is easy to forget that some people can go at a high level and that she DOES need to step up her game. She CANNOT get content with her standings. She must always be challenging herself. And as she continues to look at the title while walking with her friend ...she realizes that Danny B AND Anubis will provide her that challenge. She taps the title again.
Brianna Casablancas- On Top of that, and not to get too self-involved here, there is a big bullseye on my head due to the Central Championship. It isn’t like facing a member of The Family like I have been for what seems like FOREVER who has proven time and again that they just are not up to par. If one of these men manage to pin me, then there is another person in line to challenge for this title ...which I do not mind, but it does not make me look like much of a champion now does it? There is a lot more on the line with this one then there seems to be on the surface. Going into War Games, this is a cannot lose situation for us.
Alice has a worried look on her face underneath the bunny costume as Brianna stresses how important this coming match is. They both realize that it might not be the War Games match but EVERY match is important. MOMENTUM is important. .
Alice Knight- Stop it, you’re making nervous. But… but… but you’re right. We need to pull out this victory over these two. Mia and MJ earn our advantage for War Games and here we go losing to a couple of demons a week later. Plus President Dean graciously gave me the two thousand dollars to blow on anything i want… i’ve tasted it. I’ve tasted what it’s like to be rich. I can’t go back now. If we lose, who knows how much he will give me next time? One thousand nine hundred and ninety nine? One thousand nine hundred and ninety eight? One thousand nine hundred and…
She pulls money out of her bunny person which are now in bill instead of a check. She waves it in front of her face ...as they pass some members who look to be apart of the Yakuza. They take a glance at that money that Alice is flashing around ...not to mention the gold that Brianna has on her shoulder. They slowly begin to trail the two ladies. Brianna looks over at her partner who is waving her money around like she was a pimp of some kind.
Brianna Casablancas- SPEAKING of which, what do you want to spend your money on next? Do you want to gamble? Play the slots? Buy some drinks? Buy a hooker and discreetly mentally torture her through a series of personal questions about her youth and parents?
Brianna isn’t evil ...but the human mind, especially those with sad lives, do interest her. When an opportunity to examine a sad soul that this city is known for, she will jump at the opportunity. She doesn’t really see it as THAT cruel ...but it probably is.
Alice Knight(rubbing her chin)- Hmmm. What were the first three again? Can’t we gamble and drink with the hooker after the questioning and then play with sluts… slots… SLOTS…? Do we have enough money for all that? If the hooker is really cheap? Not pricey like Elisabeth Shue but cheap-cheap?
Brianna nods her head as they do not even notice the yakuza members trailing them.
Brianna Casablancas- As long as you do not mind buying a prostitute that we probably shouldn’t touch whatsoever ...I think we can afford it.
Alice lifts her arm up for another high five and Brianna knows she has to carefully lift her arm up given her “Las Vegas” clothes. But she manages to do it but VERY slowly.
Alice Knight- WICKED! Let’s do it!
-----------------
Two hours later, Brianna and Alice have moved their party to The Excalibur as they are at what looks to be a blackjack table. The two girls are wearing paper crowns, the time you would get at Medieval times. Next to Brianna is an overweight woman with dyed red haired and tattoos all over her arm in a tube top. The woman is crying into her hands and mumbling something about ‘her dad.’ Surrounding the table are what looks to be members of the Yakuza and an old man wearing overalls. At the table they are playing a VERY complicated game. The dealer holds out both hands and Alice points to his right hand. He opens it up to reveal a black stone. She then does the running man before going to the table and grabbing a dart. She throws it at the nearby dart board with three pictures on it: David Hasselhoff, Calista Flockhart, and Alf in the middle. The dart lands right between Hasselhoff's eyes. She then spins around twice then the dealer gives her jazz hands three times ...she responds by raising her fist and doing jazz hands five more times. She then yells out “Yahtzee” Everyone cheers as the Yakuza looks upset at what many should assume is win. Alice pulls not just her chips but everyone else’s chips towards herself.
Brianna Casablancas- So does that mean you are winning?
Alice Knight- I have no idea!
Yakuza Gang Leader- (yelling something in Japanese)
Not really knowing what she is doing, she puts her chips back in as does all of the members of the Yakuza. The older man in the overalls looks upset as the Yakuza members look at him.
Farmer- I am sorry but I have nothing else to put up. You wiped me clean ...unless …
He pulls a picture of an old crop duster out of his pocket and puts it on the table.
Farmer- That is all I have.
All of the yakuza members look unimpressed with this offering but Brianna and Alice look SO excited with this.
Brianna Casablancas- You are on!
The Yakuza gang member nod at the dealer. The dealer pulls something out from underneath the table. He puts a bunny on the table. Then he puts some fuzzy dice on there. And then he grabs a kitten from underneath the table. The kitten and the rabbit stare at each other as all of the people at the table stare at the two animals with all of their money on the line.
-------
Alice Knight: TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS! I JUST WON TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS!
The girls jump up and down as Alice tries not to spill her HUGE drink as Brianna holds a suitcase of the money that Alice won. They are just outside the Bellagio as they are celebrate this huge victory for Alice. For whatever reason, Alice wanted the money in ALL bills despite Brianna insisting they put it in her bank account.
Brianna Casablancas: That is fantastic news dear. You should invest it when we get back to the RV.
Alice Knight: FUCK THAT! I am buying a SOLID GOLD ant farm.
Brianna shrugs at her. She has decided a long time ago to let her friend be who she is ...and make the mistakes she is going to make.
Brianna Casablancas: That is great, love.
She takes a sip of her New Castle as they look at the beautiful lit up city of sin. Alice slurps down her tropical drink.
Alice Knight: THIS IS AMAZING! You should have some.
Brianna Casablancas: Jolly good.
Brianna takes a good sip of her drink while holding her title over her shoulder the briefcase in one hand and her beer in the other. She feels the alcohol go RIGHT to her system ...and maybe something else. But also it is a very delicious drink.
Brianna Casablancas: That is great. What is in it?
Alice looks at her drink and tries to recall the ingredients.
Alice Knight: Cranberry juice, tequila, vodka, Rohypnol, and jagermeister.
Brianna Casablancas: Rohypnol? You are drinking what the kids call a roofie?
Alice gives her partner a VERY sly smile.
Alice Knight: It isn’t a PARTY WITHOUT IT!
She lifts up her arm before yelling “WOOO!” as she raced down the strip now much richer than she was before they decided to go to Las Vegas. Casablancas follows behind her with a VERY concerned look on her face.
Brianna Casablancas: Bloody Hell!
