Re: Alexander and Alexis' Apartment Part 1

As Ewan looks towards Alexis, warning her. Alex mouths the words "Left Knee"

Jabberwocky Fri Feb 04, 2011 10:22 pm

Colin stands in the parking lot, he stares at the car, then at his cellphone, then up at the window to Alex and Alexis' place
Colin:"Ugh..."

he tries the door. It's locked. He goes to buzz up but stops short
"Probably nothing anyways."

Pockets Fri Feb 04, 2011 10:28 pm

At first Alexis flails in Ewan's grasp, then she becomes very quiet, calm, slowing her breath. She has gone from being a wrestler to being a martial artist, focusing fully on her opponent... her enemy.

Breathe, Alexis... think... both legs, one arm, still free.... Arm caught, not too bad... been in that hold way to many times... big problem is the neck... think... fuck, i do anything and all he has to do is move a finger....

She widens her eyes fearfully at Alex and shakes her head slightly, hoping that won't trigger Ewan's fingers to close. She mouths the words "I'm stuck... I'll go... " She opens her eyes even wider, willing Alex not to attack again.

Cruel Britannia Fri Feb 04, 2011 10:32 pm

Alex mouths back "Trust me"

"Fine Dad.... she goes. But she can't leave with you holding her in a fucking chickenwing can she?"

Cryonix Fri Feb 04, 2011 10:45 pm

Ewan's eyes don't leave Alex but he can feel Alexis give up.

Ewan: Thank you for being the sensible one, Alexis. Now, I will release your arm, Alex will toss over your cell phone...and I will escort you out the door, ensuring my...hotheaded son doesn't try anything else.

Pockets Fri Feb 04, 2011 10:49 pm

Alexis stretches out her arm, noting the other hand still tight around her neck. She reaches out to catch the cell phone.

Cruel Britannia Fri Feb 04, 2011 10:50 pm

Alex complies and throws the phone.

"Don't go far Lexi. We'll endeavour to resolve this as quickly as possible... and please don't involve the others. This is between my father and I."

Pockets Fri Feb 04, 2011 10:53 pm

Alexis glances at her phone, noting the message

Alexis: All I'm going to do is let Colin know, so he doesn't worry. If nothing else I might see what he's doing.

Cryonix Fri Feb 04, 2011 10:56 pm

Ewan walks Alexis slowly out of the apartment. He returns to face his son...and the tension in the air is thick. Ewan straightens his tie and his suit...

Ewan: Was there really a need for that, Alex? Have you fallen so far that you can't even honor a simple, respectful request?

Pockets Fri Feb 04, 2011 11:00 pm

Colin gets a reply to his text.

Got kicked out by Alex's dad long story. Want to hang out while they talk?

Cruel Britannia Fri Feb 04, 2011 11:00 pm

"Have you fallen so low that you need to attack a woman who has done nothing to you.... because you're incapable of beating your own son?"

Cryonix Fri Feb 04, 2011 11:05 pm

Ewan: I mearly wished to speak to my son in private. The only reason your precious O'Ryan was in danger was because YOU put her there.

He puts his hands behind his back...but is still at the ready...

Ewan: I've seen how your skills have improved. I dare say you've become every bit the champion I knew my son would be. However...you corrupt and defile yourself with this...trash you've allied yourself with. Micah St. Clair? Colin O'Ryan? What are you thinking, Alex? They are not worthy of you...or the history you carry.

Cruel Britannia Fri Feb 04, 2011 11:10 pm

Alex starts slowly pacing never taking his eyes of Ewan.

"I carry no history..... I thought I made that quite clear."

Cryonix Fri Feb 04, 2011 11:16 pm

Ewan: Incorrect again, my son. You DO carry history, like it or not. You are the seventh generation of a prestegious and well respected family tradition. I've heard reports of your doings. You don't even trust these so called...'saints' of yours, do you? I might...might...be able to overlook the O'Ryans...despite what thier family did to your beloved mother...

...but the fact that you're running around with the son of that...that...CULT LEADER...and had the audacity to introduce your innocent sister to such a monster's child...

Cruel Britannia Fri Feb 04, 2011 11:18 pm

"He also happens to be the son of one of my mother's dearest friends."

Jabberwocky Fri Feb 04, 2011 11:19 pm

Colin texts back to his sister
"Come down to the front."

Pockets Fri Feb 04, 2011 11:22 pm

Alexis walks out the front door of the apartment building, and almost right into her brother.

Alexis: Hey Colin. Amazing timing as usual.

Cryonix Fri Feb 04, 2011 11:27 pm

Ewan: Your mother also knew when to step away from Jenny and her...chosen lifestyle. Friends yes, but not associates. Alex...this...adventure of yours, I'm sure in your eyes has merit...but don't you see that you're throwing your life away on people...that obviously don't come close to what you have. You are an EDWARDS damnit. Can you honestly sit here and tell me that you trust these...inferior specimens? Or more to the point, do they trust you...like your so called leader, Micah for example? From what I remember...Alexis was his woman. If anyone knows that perception is reality when it comes to women...I do.

You think because you set him up on a one time pity date with your sister, who is way out of his league, that he's going to forgive you?

Jabberwocky Fri Feb 04, 2011 11:35 pm

Colin:"The hell is going on?"

Pockets Fri Feb 04, 2011 11:40 pm

Alexis sighs.

Alexis: A certain Mr. Edwards came to visit his son. I am apparently unworthy to be in his presence. Alex insisted I stay... and his dad insisted I leave... by almost choking me in a way I couldn't get out of. So here I am.

Cruel Britannia Fri Feb 04, 2011 11:43 pm

"Do I trust every single one of them implicitly? No. But at least they are taking steps to earn my trust. You have done everything within your power to lose it."

He laughs

"I don't know why you're here pretending to be concerned for my well being.... It's not like you give a rat's ass about me.... about ALEX..... all you care about it is how I reflect on you."

Jabberwocky Fri Feb 04, 2011 11:47 pm

Colin:"Should we try to help him?"

Cryonix Fri Feb 04, 2011 11:49 pm

Ewan: How could you possibly say that? Our differences aside, you are my son. I care for your well being. Do you think I would do all this if it WASN'T for your best intrest? We have done this for our childern to give them EVERY possible advantage in this life. Don't you think I had to work just as hard as you to please MY father?

I know what works, Alex. I know this will work for you. Why is it such a burden for you to honor your family's wishes?

Pockets Fri Feb 04, 2011 11:51 pm

Alexis shakes her head.

Alexis: No, it was me he went after, not Alex. And Alex proved he could hold his own against him. Better if we stay out of it.

Cruel Britannia Sat Feb 05, 2011 12:03 am

"How is it anything but a burden? .... I get to dress like someone I'm not.... act like someone I'm not..... just so that if I ever do something right.... people will say "He's only where he's at because of his surname.... screw the 14 years of training" and if I fuck up people will say that I'm not worthy of being your son? I can't win. So I'm done. I'm done trying to please ANYONE. Because whatever I do.... someone will always be disappointed. So I'm going to do it for me... and I'm going to do it my way."
