Azzy Momentarily In The Big Easy [Our scene opens on a quaint New Orleans hotel room with an overlooking balcony. Hundreds of red, pink, white, and lavender rose petals scatter the bed, floor, and boudoir dresser. While the meanings behind red, pink, and white roses are obvious, the lavender roses might not be as well-known. Lavender roses are perceived to represent love at first sight and a daily reminder of wanting to grow in one’s relationship. “The Adorkable Angel” Azurine Vebbins bought her girlfriend such a bouquet upon realizing the two were going steady/getting serious. Today, when this was recorded, was Friday, June 8th, 2018. Their day up to this point had been quite eventful. The couple started with a breakfast jaunt to Blue Dot Donuts on Canal Street. After lunch at their hotel room, Azurine Vebbins attended an LFL Milwaukee Mayhem game where Alyssa Daniels helped defeat the local New Orleans Angels 23-17. Some sense of irony was felt as Vebbins watched her girlfriend bring them back down to Earth. Finally, Ms. Vebbins was Daniels’ plus one for a night of celebratory dancing at a nightclub rented out by Head Coach Nicholas Reid. However, what viewers first notice is “The Damsel in Dat Dress” slipping out of a sky-blue mocktail dress and into her replica LFL #24 Daniels Milwaukee Mayhem football jersey. Given how rampant superstition runs in sports, Vebbins wanted to keep this particular ritual going. Alyssa was getting something from the Concierge downstairs as Azurine made sure everything was in proper working order. Taking in a deep sigh before turning on the Camerasphere VRD App on her Phoneme Whippersnapper, she broadcasts a sincere smile to an appreciative audience.] Azurine Vebbins: Greetin’s from Da Big Easy, folk! Azurine Vebbins here wid important promotional material to dispense for Mile High Wrestlin’. As I’m sure you found out by now, my scheduled dance partner dis week is one member of da Shieldmaiden quintet known as Jackie “Bandit” Layton. It’s her first time grapplin’ a Singles match and most everyone remembers deyr first time. Mine was New Years’ Eve a few years back. We’d been mutually courtin’ for several weeks and well… Oh, not dat kind of first time. And obviously different dan da first time I spooned wid my current sweet-heart. Heels over head for Number 24 as you can clearly see. Dat’s my girlfriend’s jersey number for da Milwaukee Mayhem where she plays Runnin’ Back. She’s da main reason I flew down to New Orleans. Well, dat and figurin’ out why Layton chose to emigrate here. She’s originally Nova Scotian, which seemed more exotic. Dat was a tinge of sarcasm. However, similar to Araceli last week it helps me when I can find parallels wid my opponent. Hmm? Layton and I are foreign-born nationals who moved to America for better ways of life. Anoder common passion is dat we enjoy wrestlin’ professionally. Difference is dat I can count how many times I’ve danced wid a tag-team partner and would still have digits left. Boils down to a matter of stamina, really. Perfect example bein’ here in New Orleans. Mardi Gras. Some Sprin’ Breaker could constantly flash passersby tryin’ to score beads. However, deyr comes a point when fatigue sets in. A fresh face needs to be brought so da process can continue. Dat’s goin’ to be you, Jackie, durin’ our match dis Wednesday night. You’ll be graspin’ out for Alex “Bullet” Carbajal’s hand but she won’t be on da apron. Adrenaline will only get you so far. Den again, maybe you’re relyin’ on your acrobatics to save you. After all, your finisher is a spiralin’ showcase known as Da Snowbird Splash. Plus, while researchin’ I did stumble across some matches where you managed to connect wid moonsaults and divin’ knee drops. Statistically, da best defense for eider move is playin’ possum and den rollin’ out of da way. Haven’t exactly been able to properly execute a Tombstone Piledriver counter yet. Perhaps when Wednesday night comes, it’ll happen and den we’ll each have some-din’ to remember our first dance to-ged-er by. Let’s steal dat show, Bandit, and dance wid-out fear or trepidation. [“The Damsel in Dat Dress” or in this instance football jersey hears three knocks on the door. Not fully prepared for her girlfriend’s arrival to the room, Azurine places a bouquet of lavender roses behind her back while figuring how to finish her train of thought.] Azurine Vebbins: Comin’, honey. Just wrappin’ up dis promotional material for Mile High Wrestlin’. Have I told you lately how gorgeous you look when you glisten? Couple hours ago? Sounds ’bout right. Dese are for you, sweet-heart. [The last image picked up on screen is Vebbins handing whom we presume to be her girlfriend the bouquet of roses. She turns off the camera as innocent giggling can be heard.]

A camera that is obviously from a cell phone opens on Jackie “Bandit” Layton as she stands in black jeans, white Nikes, a bran new black Widow t-shirt under her Shieldmaidens kutte, her long blonde hair falling over her shoulders. Bandit nods to the camera and nods to the person holding it, Shieldmaidens Vice President, Alex “Bullet” Carbajal, the two of them standing alone in the back room of the Shieldmaidens’ club house in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Alex "Bullet" Carbajal: You’re good, go on.
Bandit nods again and then looks into the camera.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: Hi, my name is Jacqueline Michaela Layton, but you all know me as Bandit.
She pauses and then nods as if acknowledging an unspoken point that only she heard.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: Or, at least, you should.
Smiling almost sweetly, bandit shrugs, her arms extended out, palms up.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: But if you don’t, don’t worry, you will soon enough. The Shieldmaidens and I will see to that.
She nods as her arms fall back down to her sides.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: We already showed you all once as a group and now I get the chance with my new dance partner, Azurine Vebbins, who, I admit…
She shrugs again, looking almost apologetic.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: I don’t know all that much about yet but you can rest assured, I will learn about her in due time. But don’t you worry, Miss Vebbins, I’m not riding into Denver blind and I’m not taking you lightly. This is my first singles match here, the Shieldmaidens’ first singles match here and I’m not gonna just act like it’s a foregone conclusion like a lot of the other people who walk in that door. So many act like they’re right out of Donald Trump’s office and it’s just obvious that they're gonna not just win, but roll.
She shakes her head in disgust.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: Well, I know I’m not just gonna roll. You deserve better than that and I’m not so far up my own ass that I think I’m entitled because I was born. I didn’t come here from Nova Scotia thinking it would all be easy. It’s not, it never has been and it never will be and let’s face it, if it was, it wouldn't be worth running the race!
She nods again as the camera zooms in slightly.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: So, Azurine, I will see you at the racetrack we call the ring and we’ll see who’s got what it takes to rule this one!
The camera turns off and Bandit looks to her VP expectantly.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: So?
Bullet nods.
Alex "Bullet" Carbajal: We’re good. It went out no problem.
Just then, the phone rings and Bullet answers the call. As the VP talks animatedly in Spanish, Bandit exhales heavily. This was gonna be a big deal in this clubhouse. The first singles match for one a member of the club in Mile High Wrestling and it was falling on the youngest and least experienced member. As she thinks on this idea, Bullet hangs up.
Alex "Bullet" Carbajal: ¡Hijueputa!
Bandit frowns.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: What’s wrong, Ale?
Bullet shakes her head.
Alex "Bullet" Carbajal: Julio…
She pauses and shakes her head again, looking like she really wants to punch something now.
Alex "Bullet" Carbajal: Ese pirobo no sabe lo que hace.
Bandit nods slowly. This was not an uncommon occurrence.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: How is he being an idiot this time?
Bullet puts her phone away and shrugs.
Alex "Bullet" Carbajal: How is he ever?
Bandit nods as Bullet heads over towards the bed. She sits down and indicates that Bandit should join her. Bandit walks over and does as she’s asked.
Alex "Bullet" Carbajal: We need to talk…
Bandit stares at her friend and braces for the worst.
Alex "Bullet" Carbajal: You know I love you, Jack. It’s no secret you’ve always been special to me since the first day we met years ago in Bay St. Louis. You know things about me that no one else does and I you.
Bandit nods, still waiting to hear the worst here.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: Yeah…
Bullet bites her bottom lip.
Alex "Bullet" Carbajal: I’m sorry about Mouse.
Bandit stares at Bullet in shock. Mouse was a young woman who had come to visit a week previously after spending the weekend before with them in Asheville, North Carolina. All three had thought a relationship was blossoming only for Mouse to change her mind and go back to Asheville after thinking everything through.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: So, what do we do now?
Bullet looks the blonde woman in her eyes and manages a small smile.
Alex "Bullet" Carbajal: We go on, assuming that’s what you want…
Bandit stares for what seems like forever into her friend and lover’s eyes.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: I..
Bullet puts her hand on bandits leg, gently patting as she nods.
Alex "Bullet" Carbajal: It’s alright, Jack. You know I understand.
Before Bandit can answer her, the door opens and fellow Shieldmaiden, Jocelyn “Tibs” Thibault, comes walking in carrying a printout with her. The light black woman walks over to them, curly black hair seeming like it can’t decide if it wants to flop over or stand in a sort of mini-afro style. Bring the club Treasurer, it wasn’t exactly a shock to see Tibs walking around with a bunch of paper with numbers on it.
Jocelyn "Tibs" Thibault: Hey, Crash and Burn asked me to bring you this with your copy of the latest projections.
Bullet accepts the paper and nods.
Alex "Bullet" Carbajal: Thanks, Tibs. How we doing if the cartel drags its feet?
Tibs nods, not missing a beat at all.
Jocelyn "Tibs" Thibault: We’d be just fine for the time being. If that went on for any length of time, we’d probably need to make alternate preparations but it wouldn’t be that bad a hit unless we were talking years, you know?
Bullet nods.
Alex "Bullet" Carbajal: Ok, thanks.
Tibs nods and starts to take her leave.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: Looks like you were right about the horse thing.
Tibs stops in her tracks and turns around.
Jocelyn "Tibs" Thibault: Horse?
Bandit nods.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: My opponent at Mile High, she likes to put on hooves and become a horse.
Tibs frowns.
Jocelyn "Tibs" Thibault: She… wha?
Bandit holds out the piece of paper again.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: It’s right here. She goes to a dominatrix who I believe also wrestles professionally, or at least has, and basically becomes a horse for her. Like, hooves, reins, rides, the whole nine yards.
Tibs nods, clearly dumbfounded.
Jocelyn "Tibs" Thibault: Where is she from, the Siberia corner of outer space?
Bandit almost laughs.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: Some island that’s a bitch to find on a map so much that others have called bullshit on it. Though, if you hear her talk, you know it’s not bullshit, she is clearly foreign just like me and Ale.
Tibs nods, still obviously confused.
Jocelyn "Tibs" Thibault: A fuckin’ horse…
Bullet shrugs.
Alex "Bullet" Carbajal: Whatever gets you off, yes?
Tibs nods, smirking.
Jocelyn "Tibs" Thibault: Yeah, see you guys later.
Bandit and Bullet nod, waving as Tibs takes her leave from the room.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: She looks like there’s more to her than first looks show.
Bullet nods.
Alex "Bullet" Carbajal: Sounds about right…
They study the information for the next hour and then stand back up. Bullet pulls her phone back out and fires up the camera again. Bandit goes and takes her place by the door and the camera opens on her there.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: So, Azurine, I guess this is the battle of the horse power, isn’t it?
She nods, slowing up to ponder a thought seemingly rolling in at random.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: Gotta admit, you’re a pretty horse but I prefer my iron horse. I love feeling the throttle between my legs, the wind blowing over me as I ride on down towards the horizon. It’s the greatest feeling ever and yet…
She shrugs.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: It can also be the most frustrating since you know you’re never gonna get to that place you see in the distance. It’s like life that way, you can see what looks like the destination but you can never actually get there. It’s always there, beckoning you on. Just one more mile, one more goal, one more town…
She looks off to the distance for a second and then turns back to the camera.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: I’m sure you can understand that on some level. You and I are alot alike that way in that we’re from somewhere else. I’ve been asked, “Y’all ain't’ from round here, is you?” since I was eight years old and all because I say certain words a little funny. That’s how I befriended Bullet too, because she’s from Colombia and barely spoke English when we met. You still can’t miss her accent, just like anyone with half a brain can’t miss yours.
She shrugs, gritting her teeth just enough to hold her tongue in place between them for a second.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: Under other circumstances, we would be great friends, I’m sure, but this week, we are not friends. This week, you’re my horizon. You’re the goal I’m coming to get because you are my first singles match ever and I’ll be damned if I’m not gonna charge after this one with everything I have. So now we get to see how well a horse does when it takes on a Harley! A pony versus the horsepower you get when you turn the key and kick off onto the highway! The goalposts will move on me next week, but I can outrun that for this week. I’m coming for you, Azurine, and just like you said, show the world why everyone always says, “Jackie, you made out like a bandit!” when I steal the show!
She nods grimly.
Jackie "Bandit" Layton: Because hell is empty… and this Maiden is damn sure here to stay!
