PSW Madhouse Episode 4 - Courtesy Curtain Call

An O.R.D.R.L.I. camera captures a heated conversation in the gorilla position, which is literally a side entrance of the football complex with dark curtains and dimmed lights. The participants are the General Manager, Nalah Shabani, and the Mother Hen of Holds, and Apia native, Kalavina Leota, sporting a neck brace from her match with Athiambo last week and getting very loud "LEOTA!" chants from the crowd. Producer Mike Miller is also present. 

Shabani (taking off her glasses and pinching her nose): ...f all the reckless, egotistical-

Miller: She just threw our whole show outta whack.

Leota: It had to be done.

Shabani: No, it didn't.

Leota: Cobra's crew were out of control.

Miller: We had a plan for that. 

Leota: Then ya shoulda been fasta. Now we adapt.

Sarah Esposito briskly walks through the curtain. 

Leota (stands in front of her, looking up despite her brace): You goin' on next. Get changed and give her hell.

Esposito nods and keeps walking.

Leota: See? Just like that.

Shabani: Who exactly is running this show here?

Leota: If it's you, take control and stop whining.

Miller: Hey, come on. That's uncalled for.

Shabani: I don't appreciate-

Empress Ngozi steps through the curtain, drawing the eyes of all present.

Shabani (controlled): Empress.

Ngozi (doesn't look at her): GM.

Shabani: That was quite a show of force out there.

Ngozi: Indeed. 

Shabani: With a marquee main event. A title match even.

Ngozi: Yes.

Shabani: That you did not inform me of beforehand, or anyone else. 

Ngozi: Do I need to?

Crowd: OOOOOHHHHHH!!!!

A.B.: Oh no.

Shabani (blinks and frowns): ... If... for no other reason... than courtesy.

Ngozi (finally looks at her): Is that right?

Shamoon: What's- What's going on?

Shabani: What is that supposed to mean?

Ngozi: I think you know.

Shabani: No, I don't. Perhaps you can enlighten me?

Leota: Perhaps you can move dis somewhere else? 

Miller: There's an O.R.D.R.L.I. in here. The fans can see this.

Shabani (points): My office.

Ngozi: Very well.

Shabani (turns to Leota): We are not finished either.

As they leave, Zadie Chen walks in through the curtain. Miller returns to his producer's chair, putting on headphones.

Miller: Alright, let's get this first match underway. Going to have to cut the time down to 10 minutes. Anyone seen Athiambo? Oh yeah, Chen, you and Moore will go in the middle of the show. Chen?

Chen can't hear him; she is staring into the yellow eyes of Athiambo at the corner of the room. 

Miller: Chen, did you hear what I-... Athiambo? How long have you been standing there?

The Dark Talon steps out of the shadows, stalking towards her former tag team partner. Chen clenches her fists and moves into fighting stance.

Miller: Security! Security, we have a situation in gorilla!

Dominga: Fight! Fight! Fight!

Crowd: Tau! Tau! Tau!

Leota stands between both women.

Dominga: BOOOO!!!!

Crowd: BOOOOO!!!!

Leota (to Chen): You got a match later. Go! (to Athiambo) You got a match right now. Go!

The owl woman's predatory glare bores into the woman whom she dropped on her head last week. The Mother Hen does not blink. Chen does not move.

Athiambo: ... I only wanted to say hello. (looks past Leota at Chen) Hello.

She then steps out through the curtain, into the tunnel leading to the field and the ring.

Chen (sighs and bows to Leota): Thank you, Mrs Leota.

Leota: Stand up. Your dad might be watching. 

Chen obeys.

Leota: Now, go get ya mind right. If you not focused, Moore will kill you.

Chen nods and leaves.

Miller (shaking his head): Geez. Hit Athiambo's music, and can someone please turn off that damn O.R.D.R.L.I.?

The feed ends as the signature low buzzing noise that precedes Athiambo's theme is heard on the speakers.

A.B.: Madhouse indeed. Athiambo is in action, next!
