Alex: Alright son...... just remember..... embarrass them..... don't injure them.... humiliation hurts longer.....

Pockets Tue Mar 06, 2012 12:40 am

Natalie starts looking nervous.

Alexis: Do what you have to then.

Jabberwocky Tue Mar 06, 2012 12:44 am

Connor sighs

Connor:"How good at the psychological aspect of it do you think he is?"

Pockets Tue Mar 06, 2012 12:47 am

Natalie: He's good at looking pissed off and scary.

Jabberwocky Tue Mar 06, 2012 12:50 am

Connor:"I don't think intimidation is going to hold those two back. At least not the glare and growl kind. They are either too cocky, or too dumb..or a bit of both."

Pockets Tue Mar 06, 2012 12:53 am

Natalie: Then he'll have to make them look bad.

Jabberwocky Tue Mar 06, 2012 12:56 am

Connor:"Yeah...You know it's funny how things work..."

Pockets Tue Mar 06, 2012 12:57 am

Natalie: What do you mean?

Cruel Britannia Tue Mar 06, 2012 1:00 am

As Nicholas walks away Alex exhales sharply and cracks his neck. He's obviously been struggling to control his temper too.

Jabberwocky Tue Mar 06, 2012 1:01 am

Connor:"Nothin' I was just thinking how different this situation would have been had it been me instead of Nick...I suppose the expected reaction would have been for you all to

his tone shows an annoyance

"protect me, so I can run off like a scared rabbit"...something like that..."

Pockets Tue Mar 06, 2012 1:06 am

Natalie: No... more like you would run circles around them and get them all dizzy so they can't punch straight.

Jabberwocky Tue Mar 06, 2012 1:08 am

Connor:"So either way, it's me running."

Pockets Tue Mar 06, 2012 1:10 am

Natalie: It's what you do, right?

Jabberwocky Tue Mar 06, 2012 1:17 am

Connors expression screams "Are you kidding me?"

Connor:"Uh just because I COMPETE in something that involves running doesn't mean that the answer I have to everything outside of parkour is to RUN. But considering I've never noticed a single person in this family taking a vested interest in my hobby; not enough to actually get it and why I enjoy it at least. So I'll forgive the lack of understanding..."

Pockets Tue Mar 06, 2012 1:23 am

Natalie blinks.

Natalie: That's why you were running and hiding when Lizzie and I were competing, right?

Jabberwocky Tue Mar 06, 2012 1:25 am

Connor:"The hell are you talking about?"

Pockets Tue Mar 06, 2012 2:32 am

Natalie exchanges glances with Elizabeth.

Natalie: Never mind... you know what, if you're so worried about it go help Nick fight.

Jabberwocky Tue Mar 06, 2012 2:46 am

Connor:"No not never mind, say it. You and her seem to think I spend my time playing hide and seek or something."

Cruel Britannia Tue Mar 06, 2012 8:02 am

Alex steps in.

Alex: THAT'S ENOUGH!..... sit your ass down....

I am getting sick and tired of your attitude towards your family..... enough of the defensive crap. Not everything is a personal attack against you.

You acted with disrespect towards your mother earlier just because she made a comment about not getting in trouble? She's your mother, she worries about you.... I'm a grown ass man... my mother STILL worries about me..... and my WIFE worries about me...... get over it.

You get pissy with your sibling because they make a comment about you running? Your hobby is free-RUNNING. It was not an attack against your character.... at worst it was a joke..... and you have no right to complain about that.... you're the biggest smart-ass of the bunch.... what you can dish it out but you can't take it?

....and no one in the family get's your hobby?..... bullshit. I LOVE parkour....Your Aunt Nathalie is a multiple time world parkour champion.....and I've been training with her since I was old enough to walk...... I could damn sure run circles around you boy.....

The only reason.... that your family is flying their asses to Brazil in 2 months..... the only reason that you're not GROUNDED for a very long-ass time for your behaviour during this trip..... is because we are SUPPORTIVE of your passion. Any doubts you have about how much we care about you.... are your OWN insecurities...... and we will help you with that.... But don't you EVER let me catch you taking it out on your family again.......

Now..... you owe your sisters and your mother an apology........

Pockets Tue Mar 06, 2012 10:56 am

Alexis walks next to Alex and looks at her oldest son.

Alexis: Your punishment was going to be longer, but then your Uncle Colin called. He had news that I'll share with all of you later, but he was also worried about the lack of training you would get. I talked to your father about making sure you would get your training, since your hobby is no less important than what we're here for now.

Meanwhile, Nicholas has showered and his Uncle Micah purchased some new sportswear and shoes for him. He thanks him and goes outside to catch his breath....

Nicholas: Akido, Jujutsu, Muai Thai, Tae Kwan Do, Capeoria and Wrestling. Using the principles of those fighting systems in which I hold black belts....devise your gameplan and simulate theirs. The fight is won and lost here. They are not thinking about me as a threat. That is to their disadvantage...however...how long do I hold back for them to build false confidence? Do I crush them quickly? Do I draw this out to humiliate them? Under no circumstances am I allowed to injure them....

...damnit...

...but that's okay. The Legacy must think and plan as well as react and counter. He must be an chain link.....to the past....and to our future...he must be ready...at all times.

Nicholas smiles....

Nicholas: Simulation complete. I'm ready.

Cruel Britannia Tue Mar 06, 2012 11:22 am

Ewan has been sat behind Nicholas watching his preparations.

Ewan: So thoughtful, grandson.

Cryonix Tue Mar 06, 2012 11:24 am

Nicholas: Grandfather! Wh....When did you arrive?

Cruel Britannia Tue Mar 06, 2012 11:28 am

Ewan: A while ago..... I suppose it is no longer speculation that you are competing for the title of the next Legacy.....

Cryonix Tue Mar 06, 2012 11:32 am

Nicholas hangs his head...

Nicholas: I WANT it so bad....but...I don't know if I deserve it right now. Having had a chance to think about the stupid things I've done...I'm...just not worthy of it. Not yet anyway.
