Re: Alexander and Alexis' Apartment Part 1

Pockets Fri Feb 04, 2011 8:35 pm

Alexis is really worried now.

Alexis: Warning? What is going on?

Cruel Britannia Fri Feb 04, 2011 8:39 pm

"You remember how I arranged for Micah to meet Mandy when he called me? Well she shared some.... interesting news...."

He strokes Alexis' cheek.

"It's nothing to worry about OK? I can handle it."

Pockets Fri Feb 04, 2011 8:43 pm

Alexis' eyes narrow.

Alexis: What. Is. Going. On? And don't say nothing. I hate when people do that, because it never is.

Cruel Britannia Fri Feb 04, 2011 8:46 pm

"My parents accompanied Mandy to Chicago, and they plan to stay until I change my mind."

He looks Alexis in the eyes, earnestly.

"Like I said.... it's nothing I can't handle."

Pockets Fri Feb 04, 2011 9:07 pm

Alexis looks even more nervous.

Alexis: Stay where exactly? Here?

Cruel Britannia Fri Feb 04, 2011 9:11 pm

Alex chuckles at her misunderstanding.

"In Chicago hun.... not the apartment."

Pockets Fri Feb 04, 2011 9:16 pm

Alexis chuckles too, but isn't fully relieved.

Alexis: Now I'll just have to jump at every shadow thinking it's your dad out to kick me.

Cruel Britannia Fri Feb 04, 2011 9:19 pm

Alex holds Alexis tighly, looking her dead in the eyes.

"Do you think.... for even a second..... that I would allow him to harm a single hair on your head?"

Pockets Fri Feb 04, 2011 9:22 pm

Her smile is more genuine now.

Alexis: That'll go over really well.... So do we just wait here for the storm to come, or do we go out to it?

Cruel Britannia Fri Feb 04, 2011 9:26 pm

"I'm sure there will be plenty of excitement in the near future. Can't we just enjoy..... this for now?"

There is a knock at the door

Pockets Fri Feb 04, 2011 9:30 pm

Alexis gets up, but leaves a hand touching Alex's shoulder.

Alexis: Only if we can believe my brother actually learned how to knock...

Cruel Britannia Fri Feb 04, 2011 9:32 pm

Alex stands and walks to the door.... he opens it, and there stands his father, Ewan.

Pockets Fri Feb 04, 2011 9:36 pm

Alexis walks up next to Alex and takes his hand.

Cryonix Fri Feb 04, 2011 9:39 pm

Ewan does not wait for invitation. He walks in silently, surveying the apartment. He walks to the balcony window with back turned...

Ewan: Alex.

Cruel Britannia Fri Feb 04, 2011 9:41 pm

Alex addresses his father.

"Dad. Mum said you wanted to speak to me?"

Cryonix Fri Feb 04, 2011 9:47 pm

Ewan: Yes. I would speak to you of family matters. As such...those who are not family...

He turns over his shoulder and glares at Alexis, before turning back to the window...

Ewan: Are not required in the conversation. Ask her to leave. This is between us.

Cruel Britannia Fri Feb 04, 2011 9:50 pm

"Alexis is family. Anything you have to say to me you can say in front of her."

Cryonix Fri Feb 04, 2011 9:54 pm

Ewan: Incorrect. Your little tryst aside, Alex...she is as far from family as our legacy is from her...rum soaked patronage. I'm being nice only for etiquette's sake. I will not ask again. She leaves this room.

Pockets Fri Feb 04, 2011 9:55 pm

Alexis' hand tightens in Alex's.

Cruel Britannia Fri Feb 04, 2011 9:58 pm

Alex glares at his father. It's Ewan's menace projected through Jillian's eyes.

"You will leave this room long before she does father. Do you care to test me?"

Cryonix Fri Feb 04, 2011 10:02 pm

Ewan sighs as he pulls out his cell phone...

Ewan: No son...but you apparently wish to test me. Very well. You've been warned.

Ewan dials a number and then puts the phone to his ear...

Ewan: Yes, Vancouver Police Department. Yes, I'm calling with information about that missing persons case my good friend Ashley O'Ryan filed a while back?....Yes...Alexis O'Ryan...I have some information that might be useful to you...

Pockets Fri Feb 04, 2011 10:06 pm

Alexis' eyes grow wide.

Alexis: Dad said I was kidnapped? When? I've seen him almost every year for Christmas until last year!

Her eyes go from very wide to very narrow.

Alexis: I'm not a child anymore, it won't work.

Cruel Britannia Fri Feb 04, 2011 10:10 pm

In a flash, Alex attacks, launching a kick to Ewan's left knee. He drops like a sack of shit, Alex stands directly on his throat. Grabbing Ewan's phone Alex does a perfect impersonation of his Father.

"Did you try looking inside that moose you fucked last nigh.... you stupid Canadians..... What's that all aboot eh?"

The police can be heard saying "Stupid kids" as Alex crushes the phone in his hand.

"I ask again.... do you care to test me?"

Jabberwocky Fri Feb 04, 2011 10:13 pm

Alexis' phone starts to buzz with a text message
"Theres a very familiar car in your driveway. Should I be concerned?"

Cryonix Fri Feb 04, 2011 10:18 pm

Ewan is calm, very calm, despite the foot on his throat.

Ewan: Lesson one. Attack thy opponent's weakness. However...

Ewan twists his body around, tripping Alex and making his face hit hard off the floor. As he gets up, he sees Ewan behind Alexis, her throat in his hand, her arm chicken winged.

Ewan: ...the second part of the lesson is to protect your weakness, lest it be exploited. Alexis...I don't like you. I have never liked you...however, I will NOT harm you....if you leave now. Understand?

His grip tightens...
