Elliot woke up, in the afterglow of another... unusual night. Marlena laid next to him, with her hair a mess, her make up runny and faded, but a contented smile on her face. He felt almost... happy, but at the same time he knew he only felt that way because she reminded him of Brandy.
He rolled out of the bed, and Marlena stirred slightly as well. She said nothing, only smiled wider, while Elliot greeted her grin with a look of empty regard. 'I know you're there, and I don't care enough to say anything to you'.
Marlena grinned, letting the blanket drop off of her upper body. Her shirt was ripped wide open, leaving her a very disheveled sight. She greeted the camera with a wordless wave and smile.
She snapped away from the camera, and nodded at Elliot.
Elliot sighed, taking a seat back on the bed.
Marlena slid across the bed, wrapping her arms loosely around Elliot's chest and letting her cheek rest against his back.
Elliot shook his head, shrugging her off of him. He stood again, this time digging for a pack of cigarettes.
Marlena got close to him again, not touching him but still looking at him with madly adoring eyes.
Marlena shook her head, getting closer to Elliot.
Elliot takes a good look over Marlena, a sick smile finally crossing his lips.
Marlena gets a child-like smile on her face, seeming to grow quite a bit more young and quite a bit less cool at Elliot's words.
Marlena shouted out with joy, bouncing on the bed.
Elliot sighed in response, muttering something that sounded like the word "Soon".
Marlena nodded, smiling wider and wider each second.
Elliot got up, flicking his cigarette out the window and pulling a Downward Spiral shirt over his head.
Marlena chuckled as she laid back down in bed, pulling the blanket back up to her chin.
Elliot gestured over his shoulder, and then left the hotel, heading out into the night.
The camera watches Elliot leave, turns back to Marlena, who's aiming to go back to sleep, and then finally fades to black.
He rolled out of the bed, and Marlena stirred slightly as well. She said nothing, only smiled wider, while Elliot greeted her grin with a look of empty regard. 'I know you're there, and I don't care enough to say anything to you'.
ELLIOT BURRESS
"You're sending me down a rocky path."
"You're sending me down a rocky path."
Marlena grinned, letting the blanket drop off of her upper body. Her shirt was ripped wide open, leaving her a very disheveled sight. She greeted the camera with a wordless wave and smile.
ELLIOT BURRESS
"Marlena!"
"Marlena!"
She snapped away from the camera, and nodded at Elliot.
MARLENA ROSE
"Yeah-yeah, I heard you. Rocky path. Go on."
"Yeah-yeah, I heard you. Rocky path. Go on."
Elliot sighed, taking a seat back on the bed.
ELLIOT BURRESS
"Drugs. I smoked pot again, just because of you. You know where this leads, Marlena? A place I don't want to go. This is ridiculous."
"Drugs. I smoked pot again, just because of you. You know where this leads, Marlena? A place I don't want to go. This is ridiculous."
MARLENA ROSE
"Hey now. I know all about your past, and..."
"Hey now. I know all about your past, and..."
Marlena slid across the bed, wrapping her arms loosely around Elliot's chest and letting her cheek rest against his back.
MARLENA ROSE
"You're my favorite wrestler. I wouldn't let you do anything that would hurt you. Why would I deprive myself of you?"
"You're my favorite wrestler. I wouldn't let you do anything that would hurt you. Why would I deprive myself of you?"
Elliot shook his head, shrugging her off of him. He stood again, this time digging for a pack of cigarettes.
ELLIOT BURRESS
"I have to get sobered up anyway, this bender shit isn't helping me. I have to be clean and ready to kill tomorrow night."
"I have to get sobered up anyway, this bender shit isn't helping me. I have to be clean and ready to kill tomorrow night."
Marlena got close to him again, not touching him but still looking at him with madly adoring eyes.
MARLENA ROSE
"I know you're better than those Slades. You're going to take them down, you and Tyler, I know you will. Speaking of which, do I get to meet the famous Tyler?"
"I know you're better than those Slades. You're going to take them down, you and Tyler, I know you will. Speaking of which, do I get to meet the famous Tyler?"
ELLIOT BURRESS
"Don't talk like you're my girlfriend. You're a groupie. I'm kicking your ass out BEFORE I have to see Tyler again."
"Don't talk like you're my girlfriend. You're a groupie. I'm kicking your ass out BEFORE I have to see Tyler again."
Marlena shook her head, getting closer to Elliot.
MARLENA ROSE
"No, I'm not. I'm your biggest fan, Elliot, you know that. I have tapes from WXW, HCW, Japan, CPW back in 06... I watched you growing up! I love you, I'm not a skanky groupie who wanted a free dinner and some money for a quick fuck, I'm a fan who's gotten attached to you for years. Now I'm here by you, and I'll do anything to stay by your side. Anything."

Elliot takes a good look over Marlena, a sick smile finally crossing his lips.
ELLIOT BURRESS
"You're going to be a tool, you got that? Nothing more. You're going to help me in the ring, you're going to help me in the motel room, and that is the extent of our relationship. You get me?"
"You're going to be a tool, you got that? Nothing more. You're going to help me in the ring, you're going to help me in the motel room, and that is the extent of our relationship. You get me?"
Marlena gets a child-like smile on her face, seeming to grow quite a bit more young and quite a bit less cool at Elliot's words.
MARLENA ROSE
"So I can stay with you?"
"So I can stay with you?"
ELLIOT BURRESS
"For now."
"For now."
MARLENA ROSE
"And will you train me? On how to wrestle?"
"And will you train me? On how to wrestle?"
ELLIOT BURRESS
"If it'll shut you up."
"If it'll shut you up."
Marlena shouted out with joy, bouncing on the bed.
MARLENA ROSE
"Coooool, when can we start?
"Coooool, when can we start?
Elliot sighed in response, muttering something that sounded like the word "Soon".
ELLIOT BURRESS
"I'll train you when I have time. Don't bug me about it, or I won't do it. That's my first rule. My second rule is that no matter how badly I have to kick your ass to get you into ring shape, you're not going to run crying to the cops that I'm trying to kill you. My last rule is you'd better take it as seriously as you can, or you're gone. You hear me?"

Marlena nodded, smiling wider and wider each second.

"Then it's set. We'll train soon, and you're my new roomie. Fantastic..."
"Then it's set. We'll train soon, and you're my new roomie. Fantastic..."
Elliot got up, flicking his cigarette out the window and pulling a Downward Spiral shirt over his head.
MARLENA ROSE
"So where're you going?
"So where're you going?
ELLIOT BURRESS
"Getting some air, before I have to go to the show tonight. Alone time is hard to come by on the road with other guys."

MARLENA ROSE
"Have fuuun..."
"Have fuuun..."
