Connor:"Anything to help..."

he walks over to see what his folks are upto

Pockets Fri Mar 02, 2012 2:58 am

Finishing up the paperwork, Alexis notices Connor walk over.

Alexis: There you are. What have you been up to?

Jabberwocky Fri Mar 02, 2012 3:08 am

Connor:"Nothing really just...you know....hanging out like I do..."

Pockets Fri Mar 02, 2012 3:10 am

Alexis smirks.

Alexis: Meaning either you're bored, or you've been causing trouble... maybe both. Should I be expecting to hear from people about you?

Jabberwocky Fri Mar 02, 2012 3:16 am

Conner:"I have no idea what you mean..."

he smiles innocently

Pockets Fri Mar 02, 2012 3:32 am

Alexis: You do realize that ticking off anyone here is a bad idea, right?

Jabberwocky Fri Mar 02, 2012 3:34 am

Connor:"Ticking off? ...Come on I can take care of myself."

Pockets Fri Mar 02, 2012 3:42 am

Alexis: Think about where you are. A national martial arts championship. Even though you are an Edwards, you have had no formal training to hone your natural talents. Just watch yourself, alright?

Cryonix Fri Mar 02, 2012 3:45 am

Staffer: Legacy Martial Arts, Chicago! Please send your Sifu forward to draw your first round opponent please!

Jabberwocky Fri Mar 02, 2012 3:49 am

Connor:"...And until I do all that and start participating in these things, I'll always be the one who has to just watch myself...Right?"

Pockets Fri Mar 02, 2012 3:53 am

Alexis: I'm not trying to push you into anything. I just don't want you getting hurt.

She hears the announcement.

Alexis: Looks like I'm up.

She walks to the mat.

Cryonix Fri Mar 02, 2012 3:55 am

Staffer: Sifu Edwards...please reach into the fishbowl and choose your first round opponent.

Pockets Fri Mar 02, 2012 3:56 am

Alexis nods to the staffer and reaches in, pulling out a strip of paper that she hands to the staffer.

Jabberwocky Fri Mar 02, 2012 3:57 am

He watches his mother leave for the mat

Connor:"...Yeah whatever..."

Cryonix Fri Mar 02, 2012 4:00 am

Staffer: Legacy Martial Arts, Chicago will face....DragonPheonix Fighting systems in the first round.

Other staffers set the brackets up...

Staffer: Now, as you know, Sifu, Your team will compete in full contact competition. Adult Male and Female, Teenage Male and Female and Tag Team. Each match goes to 7 points....for a total of 35 points. Which ever team has the most points at the end of the Tag Team match will move on in the tournament. Also, there is weapons kata, open hand kata and breaking....as you know. Do you understand, Sifu?

Pockets Fri Mar 02, 2012 4:02 am

Alexis nods.

Alexis: I do.

Cryonix Fri Mar 02, 2012 4:03 am

Staffer: Excellent. Then prepare your team, Sifu. You need to turn in who is competing in which event within the hour...for that is when you take the mat.

Jabberwocky Fri Mar 02, 2012 4:06 am

By this point Connor has disapeared outside, hood up on his hoodie, aimlessly watching the cars pass by

Pockets Fri Mar 02, 2012 4:12 am

Alexis grabs her daughters, who are still going back and forth teasing each other, and takes them over to the rest of the team and starts preparing them.

Alexis: Alright... this is what we are going to do....

Cryonix Fri Mar 02, 2012 4:15 am

Outside, a Nissan Skyline pulls up...and being dumped out of the passenger side...is Nicholas. Getting out of the driver's side, dressed to the nines is Gabriel Cortez....

Gabe: Oh! Connor! I assume the rest of the family is inside?

Jabberwocky Fri Mar 02, 2012 4:24 am

Connor looks over
Connor:"Huh? Oh...Yeah I guess..."

Cryonix Fri Mar 02, 2012 5:00 am

Nicholas: No....mor...e....suplexes....please....

Gabe: Oh, get up. Stop being so dramatic. Connor....you alright kiddo? Don't want to be here?

Jabberwocky Fri Mar 02, 2012 5:24 am

Connor:"I'm...fine. Just staying out of the way..."

Cryonix Sat Mar 03, 2012 10:09 pm

Gabe: Out of the way? Alright....what's the deal...honestly?

Meanwhile...

Naomi: Ashley...I don't...know how it happened....but....I'm pregnant!

Jabberwocky Sat Mar 03, 2012 10:34 pm

Connor:"It feels like I don't fit in there. Mom was acting like I can't even defend myself; that I had to watch myself and not 'cause problems'"

Ashley:"...A-are you sure?"
