THOSE GIRLS ARE POISON
Kaycee Caprice and Persephone are collectively known as ToXXin. Trained under the tutelage of Tony “Thunder” Todd up in Thunder Bay, Ontario Canada. Tony has produced some of the biggest stars in the sport of wrestling today. He is also the father of the very dangerous and devilish, Cindy Todd. A wrestler and former commentator that turned the sport on its ear back in 2008- now with most recently her endeavors in the IWC back in 2016 through 2017. The queen of Chaos as she likes to be known had a big influence on the ladies of ToXXin, two women that have been waiting for their moment after they won a huge tag team match at the world Hazard Festival, last year against Selena Frost and Ricky Octavius. Now they have shown up in EMERGE and that is where things were going to start getting interesting though their debut didn’t go as planned, as they were attacked by Drake Hemingway’s Druids, especially Dante. Then they were seen in a wrestling war with the Marchetti brothers, the Modern Marvels, the Heartbreakers and The Harem. All vying to be the next tag team champions after Serotonin vacated the belts when they both left with Mika.
Tony found it extremely important that the girls stayed focus. It was easier for Persephone, she was always the dark one, a femme fatale in her own right.
Kaycee though was the emotional sparkplug that at times would allow things to get to her. It was time that Tony made sure to straighten them out.

Thunder Bay Ontario, Canada
A Few Weeks Ago
Kayce seemed a bit flustered, she was wearing black tights, sneakers and a sports bra, her long hair in a ponytail. Persephone wore similar gear though she had short tights. She looked over at Tony who shook his head and pinned Kayce to the turnbuckle…
Tony: “What are you thinking about right now?”
Kaycee: “A couple of drongos that need to get’ their asses kicked.”
Tony: “Funny, usually your head is somewhere else.”
Kayce: “Like where?”
Tony: “Seduction?”
She rolled her eyes, suddenly Tony grabbed her by the chin and squeezed her cheeks….
Tony: “Don’t you ever roll your bloody eyes at me again, is that understood!?”
Kaycee quickly nods while Persephone looks on. Tony let’s go and sighs, the young Caprice rubs her chin, glancing over at her partner who tells her to calm down….
Kaycee: “That hurt….”
Tony: “And it could hurt a lot worse if you keep running your bloody mouth. We didn’t have the debut expected though I will admit that you two bounced back last Emerge and showed them why you’re the premiere tag team in the company. Now, we need to keep that rolling into Capital Shake-Up. Tell her how important this is Persephone….”
Persephone: “Extremely, it’s also quite fun. How many times do we get our way with others and not be punished for it? Wrestling is a world without consequences and judgment. Why do it if not for a little bit of that sweet sensation which can be so erotic.”
After her small speech, Kaycee tilts her head and nods slowly and possibly even reluctantly….
Tony: “We have to be on the same page, that is all. He unknown is exactly that, we don’t know what type of match, who you two will face, the most important aspect to all of this? Preparation. That’s why you are here now, we don’t do this for our own health or to waste time. Now, you two face each other.”
Kaycee: “What?”
Persephone: “Tony?”
Tony: “Did I stutter!?”
Kaycee and Persephone don’t speak another word and start to grapple each other before wrestling. Tony looks on for a moment before walking into his office, he grabs his cellphone and calls his daughter…
Cindy: “I wasn’t expecting a call today, you know it’s early here dad, I’m still in bed.”
Tony: “It’s ten over there.”
Cindy: “when you go to bed at 4 or 5 am? It’s early. You sound distraught, what is wrong?”
Tony: “The girls. I think they need a little “encouragement”. Capital Shake-Up is a big night for them and I want Persephone and Kaycee to be ready.”
Cindy: “They look ready to me in the ring, dad.”
Tony: “Not everything is in the ring.”
There is a slight pause….
Cindy: “Okay dad. Send them my way.”
Tony: “Thank you.”
He hangs up the phone and stares at his two prized pupils, knowing that physically they are ready but need a reminder of just how important this is….
A Few Days Later
Klub Kaos
Las Vegas, NV.
Cindy stands overlooking her club through the double-sided mirror from the upstairs office. She wears a tight black dress, fishnet stockings and knee-high boots, her long hair hangs down, nails polished purple. Her green eyes slowly glare over at Seraglio, Keegan Rowe, Avalyn Calloway and Marley Montoya with her pet Spider Monkey, Bear. They are all wearing black vinyl body suits, Keegan in red, Avalyn in white, Marley in navy blue…..
Cindy: “They will be here shortly, you are not to discuss OUR plans for SCW or even EMERGE for that matter, is that understood?”
All three ladies of Seraglio nod. The door opens, Kaycee and Persephone walk in, Kaycee in a tight purple dress, leaving little to the imagination and peep toe pumps, her nails polished white. Persephone in a similar dress but black, her nails polished red and hair straightened, they both walk up to Cindy and kiss her on the cheek….
Kaycee: “Tony told us you wanted to talk to us?”
Cindy: “Something like that, sit ladies, please.”
They both sit across from Seraglio. Cindy stands, looking out at the crowd dancing and drinking….
Cindy: “I give these people an escape, you know? Avery single day I open, there is a place for them to drown their sorrows in alcohol or just some pure unadulterated fun. Live a little, fall to their vices and the wonders debauchery brings. I could write a book on the things I have seen. Which is why you five ladies sit in this office and not down there doing exactly what I want through drugs, alcohol and music, a simple venue. Do you know why, I give them this platform?”
Persephone: “Let them live out their fantasies? Indulge in a little sin?”
Kaycee: “Play em’ like puppets….”
Cindy: “A little of both yes, the real reason I do, and you all sit here with me as I discuss this? Simple mathematics, really…. They are sheep, you are lions.”
Cindy looks over her shoulder, slowly turning around to face ToXXin….
Cindy: “ToXXin, Poison, why the two large X’s? Lethal. My father believes in the two of you. He knows that the hunger eats away and in time, we will see a renaissance. It’s taken long enough to get you to this position, to finally unleash you to the wrestling world, much like my Seraglio. It takes time to nurture and bring forth like children of God. Kaycee, do you believe in loyalty?”
Kaycee: “Of course, Queen.”
Cindy: “Persephone?”
Persephone: “Yes, Queen.”
Cindy: “Then where is the focus?”
Kaycee: “Focus? I’m ready for those bloody drongos, mate. I’m like a steamin’ hot bucket o’ prawns right now, eh Persephone?”
Persephone: “She’s right. We were bloody attacked on our debuts and since then it’s been a chip on our shoulders….”
Kaycee: “Yeah!”
The Queen of Chaos nods and slowly turns around….
Cindy: “What do these people do when their world crumbles? They hide behind vices, they come here to escape the harsh reality of life for a few hours just to come back to the realization those problems are still there and will NOT escape them when they all wake up hung over or naked next to a stranger. So now, I ask you kindly, one more time…. Where is the focus?”
Kaycee: “On them! We want revenge!”
Persephone: “We’re not going to let them get away with it!”
Cindy: “I see. Keegan?”
Keegan slowly stands up and walks over to Cindy Todd, she nods and rolls up her sleeve. Cindy makes her way to the desk, she takes out a lighter and places it under Keegan’s arm, both Kaycee and Persephone sit there wide-eyed. Avalyn and Marley smirk with their full attention to Cindy….
Cindy: “These women, like yourselves were once prominent members of Society. Keegan here was a Doctor, a surgeon. One of the brightest minds in the World when it came to stem cell research and cranial surgery. And now?”
Cindy turns on the lighter, the flame starts to burn Keegan’s arm, she shows no emotion and instead turns and stares right at Kaycee and Persephone who are in horror. Kaycee starts to cringe, holding Persephone’s hand….
Kaycee: “Bloody hell, stop!”
Persephone: “Gross…. Stop it!”
Cindy: “And now? She is focused.”
Keegan continues to show no emotion, they can start smelling the burning flesh before Cindy stops. She looks over at Avalyn and nods who takes Keegan back to the bathroom to clean up the burn. Cindy throws the lighter to Kaycee….
Cindy: “This is not about revenge. Revenge is petty. I was on a mission for 13 long fucking years to destroy the man that took my life and instead didn’t see what he made me become… a God. My father, me, we have given you the tools and the resolve to walk into Capital Shake-Up and WIN the Tag Team Titles, THAT is your FOCUS NOT revenge! Do I make myself clear!?”
Kaycee nods her head really fast, as does Persephone, they then turn to Marley who just stares at them with her monkey, Bear and smiles…
Kaycee: “She’s creepy.”
Persephone: “Very.”
Cindy: “No, she’s focused. Now, you have a choice, stay with me here and learn or go down stairs, mingle, maybe get laid, drunk and simply integrate yourself with the masses.”
She slowly turns around, waiting for Persephone and Kaycee to leave. Keegan returns with her arm bandaged up. Her and Avalyn sit down next to Marley and all three stares at ToXXin waiting for them to leave. Persephone gets comfortable, sitting back, crossing her legs and staring back. Kayce does the same, brushing her hair back. After a few moments they stand up and walk side by side with Cindy, looking down at the crowd dancing…
Persephone: “We are staying.”
Kaycee: “Right here.”
Cindy slowly turns to each one….
Cindy: “You chose, wisely.”
SCENE FADES
REC:
“Won’t Capital Shake-Up be lovely?
Everyone loves the Dark Knight trilogy? Best Batman trilogy ever? Possibly. The villain in the last one? Not compelling. Bane was reduced to be the love-sick puppy of Talia Al Ghul? Gross. I can overlook that small little detail to sum up how Capital Shake-Up will… shake up. Pun intended. Bane brought Batman to the prison he was born in. Battered. Broken. Holding on to the will to live. Bane said my favorite quote of the movie, you can’t have true despair without hope. Killing Bats would have been sooo boring. He wanted Bats to watch his beloved city of Gotham burn to the ground. Genius, right? Batman loves Gotham. That city is his heart and soul. Death was would been the easy way out. Staying alive long enough to watch the one thing you love Thanos away… a true man of my heart. Why can’t real living men be as thoughtful as a fictional character?
Alas, I digress.
Vanilla Skyy has given everyone on the active roster HOPE. Modern Marvels are hoping to become tag team champions. The Heartbreakers are HOPING to become relevance once more. Sorry. For the first time. Kandis is HOPING to get the spotlight she feels she is entitled too despite being an epic failure when it matters most. Drake and his band of merry men are HOPING to purify anyone who looks to stand in their way. And every champion who has the advantage of knowing who they are stepping into the ring against, they are HOPING to overcome the chaos our General Manager, –or former General Manager depending on what SCW’s ruling is– has inflicted on the roster.
What does ToXXin hope for? To be the ones to strip all your hope away bit by bit. Why should any of you leave Capital Shake Up with your heart’s desire? Because you say so? Because you were allegedly robbed? Or were you denied opportunities. Some of you were given chances, multiple in fact. Where is your gold? I can answer that. Peyton has held the Emerge title the whole year. Serotonin were sooo bored, they left the tag titles in the ether. A monster, an All Star and cult leader held the RUSH. In an entire tournament of losers, many of who had chances in other divisions, were thwarted by a woman competing on second night Emerge. The way we see it, most of you deserve nothing. ToXXin plans to take. As a lovely woman on the main roster says, chaos is fair. This Shake Up will be more of the same for whoever crosses ToXXin’s path, the same as its always been… baron.”
“Tilt the chin and the crown slips….
Aren’t those words to live by mate? How often do these drongos think that they can rule their lands only to be bested by some unknown force? Persephone talked about “hope”? What about dreams, wants and needs? You can’t tell us The Harem, The Heartbreakers, The Modern Marvels and anyone in between don’t have the same as the others, they are all vying to be the Tag Team Champions and yet?
Like to wallabies’ mating in the bloody Outback, there is hardly a sound made for ToXXin? The important thing to remember here is simple, what are you looking to get out of it mates? See, Persephone and I are not tilting our chins, we will never go in some situation with a vivid imagination on how successfully we will be and what we want out of this.
Revenge?
Execution?
A little fun?
Or maybe some success at the expense of the well-being of other tag teams who stand in our way from taking what we want, not deserve, not need, not earned….
WANT.
And EMERGE will learn in due time that Persephone and I always get what we WANT. I have heard many a times this world called of Gods and Monsters? Are we either? No, what we are is the injection to cure the REAL plague and disease in the form of a ToXXin ready to eradicate the rest of the field and when we are done?
We will cleanse something else entirely.
Capital Shake-Up is a mystery, a surprise. Life can teach us many things through vices, failures, tragedies and victories. What we have learned is that not all poisons are curable, some can never be saved and those are the ones that will get taken out first…
Because mates?
These girls here?
Are POISON.”
