Just Rolled Into Town
JinzoningenJu: Sitting in the plane and watching it land gave Jackie a smooth relief feeling on his face as he couldnt believe he made it, another side of him regret leaving China and leaving his brother behind with his abuses father. As the plane made it's stop Jackie rose from his seat and picked up his small bookbag that held some of his clothes, following the line of people walking off the plane Jackie didnt know what this city had in store for him. But once he made it outside the plane and that bright sun hit his face Jackie smiled as he knew this is what he dreamed about he wanted to be somewhere he didnt have to worry about his father or fighting or thats what he thought. His left eye was taking everything in seeing his right eye was covered with an eye patch but Jackie smile was endless almsot like it would never fade away, as he left the airport Jackie began to walk the busy streets of KC.

Collection Time
“THWAK!” would accompany the sound of a fist flying into the inside of a man’s face, and his body would make a tumbling noise as it lashed against the pavement. Connor would shake his bandaged hand sigh. “WOOO that boy had a damn iron jaw on him.” The   con man grabbed onto his baseball hat and threw it down on the ground pissed off that he couldn’t get connor to go down. “that’s the fifteenth one dammit! He’s a fucking 16 year old!” Connor would walk twaords the man, cracking his knuckles. “I’ll take that 200 dollars now partner.” Connor snatched the money and bucked at the man for a moment, before walking off. His white shirt hung off of his body, and his pants were as baggy as ever, with a belt on of course. His shoes scuffed the pavement, one was starting to get a lil mouth at the end of it but he’d completely disregard it. it was summer, not like he needed to be warm regardless. Connor would stop by an ice cream parlor, and grab a double scoop cone with chocolate ice cream, and syrup before walking down the street and devouring his ice cream slowly. Somehow he ended up near the airport.

Kindness...?
JinzoningenJu: As Jackie walked the streets he began to walk pass the good side and bad side of KC but to him it was all good seeing it was all new to him taking everything in was such a delight to Jackie. Hearing the loud cars pass by along with the kids yelling and screaming almost reminded him back home in China as Jackie began to think about back home and his brother he didn’t notice the male he bumped into with baggy pants. "Oh im sorry I didn’t see you sir." Because of the bump he notice the male drop his cash as he would pick it up and hand it to him Dont know if this is a auto hit xDD but oh well xD) "Here you drop this."

Connor would be eating his ice cream, almost done on the contrary, when a kid bumped into him. Connor raised a brow at the kid for a second until he apologized. Mannors are rare so it’s a wonder connor didn’t feel like busting chops. “No problem yo.” As connor was bout to walk off he saw the kid tell him he dropped something. Connor turned to him, and furrowed his brow a bit, taking back the money he dropped. “now how in the blue hell. Do I know that you didn’t try to take it from me eh? Logically speaking I’ve got the right to throw blows guy. Can I trust you? If not. Punch me, and we’ll go from there.” Connor awaited the kid to explain himself.

Pacifist
JinzoningenJu: Seeing the boy getting upset Jackie looked at him puzzled as he heard him talk about trust as Jackie rose his hand as if he was going to hit Conner as he placed the money that conner had drop towards him once more as he said "I do not wish to fight you I only wish to return your money. I just moved here about 2 seconds ago and I dont wish to make enmeys only firends"

Connor took the money, and stuffed it in his pocket, a little weary of the guy, but he wasn’t a push over…which in turn intrigued connor very much so. Connor would nod with the “nod bad” meme face look on his expression as he folded his arms. “Where’d you move from? Cause round these parts that polite stuff isn’t gonna get you very far. To be blunt it’s gonna get you jumped, robbed or raped. Or all three, if people are feeling roggy, you feel me? Tell you what. I’ll let you join my crew when school starts back up, and   you can help me set up a permanat camp there. You’re young enough I can tell by your facial expression. What do you say? Easy way to make friends AND….fuck shit up.” Connor would look behind the kid before he saw a gang of men walking up to them and nudding each other..the same ganag of men from the fight he was just ensued in. connor would facepalm himself, as the four men walked up, moving pasted the kid and folding their arms looking at connor. “Oi, you cheated us out of our money back there mate. We want every bit of compensation. You cheated to beat those guys.” “who the fuck says? I took them down fair and square as far as I’m concerned.” Connor replied. “they were 22 year old capoeeria champions. That’s not skill, not even luck. Pay up.” “fine fine…connor reached into his pocket before smirking. “Look I just loaned the money to new guy over there. He just got into town, but he won’t even give it back when I changed my mind!” the four men turned their attention to the new kid and tilted their heads. “so you’re new huh? Well thanks to this bozo, you gotta pay in bulk! With interest! Cough it up!” they’d hold their hand out towards the new kid waiting for some money. If he didn’t pay up they’d all launch a punch at him.

JinzoningenJu: After hearing his offer Jackie began to think on it before hearing the thugs step up to him, Jackie tried to pay no mind to thme but when Conner told them he had the money after he return it to them his eyes widen heairng them speak. "I dont have it." He stopped in his setence as he saw their fist coming towards him thankfuly towards his left seeing his right eye was covered with a patch. Jackie waited as the fist was in radius of his face he shifted towards the right allowing one of the thugs to miss as he closed his right fist and sent a fierce jab towards the temple of the thug that swung first knocking him out on impact. Not letting his guard down Jackie got into his boxing stance as he grabbed one of them by the shirt and send them aganist the wall "I DO NOT WISH TO FIGHT BUT I WILL IF YOU PUSH ME THERE." As the thugs saw Jackie yell they shut down real quick as they ran off

Connor would clap his hands together, and nod. ‘you’ve got chops kid. Maaaaad chops. I underestimated you I’ll admit, but god DAMN that was a meeeean ass jab you threw! Got my blood pumping now. You should definitely click up with me. Tell you what, you hungry? Let’s go grab a bite. Walk and talk with me bro.” if he agreed connor would stuff his hands into his pockets and begin walking down the street and occasionally looking at the kid. “So a name, you gotta name? where you from, what’s your story? Everyones got one so don’t skip on the details my friend.”

What's your story?
JinzoningenJu: As Jackie agreed to walk with Connor he also placed his hands in his pockets as he said "Names Jackie..Jackie Serizawa and Im from Hong kong China." Jackie wasnt use to this type of trement it was either train or get fight he never had a friend or a person he could talk to other than his brother as he said "My story...Well I left my abuse father in Hong kong the way I got here you may ask I saved all the money I got from boxing illeagly you know the undegroud stuff I was born into it but I always hated it."

Connor couldn’t help but show a bit of a confuzzled face. “Wait wait wait Jackie, your from hong kong and you use American boxing? That’s…odd. Not uncommon but quite…unusual. The fact that you illegally do it only makes it twice as cool though. Don’t hate your talent bro. love what you can do. Me for instance, I take wing chun. Chinese boxing,” connor would make fighting stance notion while exhaling a breath putting a tad bit of heart behind taking his stance. (http://cyberpat.com/blog_gifs/ip_man3.jpg ) he’d quickly go back to walking though just showing what the stance was. They came upon a burger crown, and walked inside. Conor walked upt to the desk, and folded his arms thinking about what he wanted. “I think I’m gonna take a triple bacon cheese   with curely fries, and a coke. What you want man?” once he order connor would walk outside with his food, deciding to sip on the drink first and dispose of it the fastest. In doing so he’d start talking again. “why come to Kasihana though? I’m sure you’ve heard about some of the blatant shit that goes down in this city on a regular. The place is a hell hole man, no ifs ands or butts about it.” connor would unwrap his burger and waste no time taking a big ass chunk out of it as if it were notihng, chewing and chomping with his mouth full. “By the way, names Connor. Connor Ryoji.”

JinzoningenJu: "No No No you got it all wrong, Yes i learned American boxing but I also picked up on wing chun but never got a chance to really use it most of the undeground fights I had to think my way out of." Hearing Conner tell him not to be ashamed of his talent Jackie noded as he knew his talent was brought up by force nothing he wanted to do, as they walked into the burger crown Jackie seemed out of place seeing he never had a burger seeing his father only allowed them to eat things that would keep them in shape. "I'll have whats he's having." As they came outside Jackie would take bite of the buger as his eye widen he couldnt believe the taste(http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HPashP-U_n4/UF3HeBeVNiI/AAAAAAAACM8/ejEWy-C1Fc8/s1600/tumblr_lysex93xmw1ror0lro4_500.gif) As he began to eat he heard Connor question as he waited until he swallowed to answer "I dont know really It just called to me when I was training i saw a poster of this city and I dont know it was like a sign I guess. And nice to meet you Connor Ryoji so about this gang tell me the purpose and some detail and I might have a answer."

Connor had already started on his fries, and was enjoying every bit of the sweet salty taste of the damn things. Listening to him go on about seeing a poster of this place. Quite mystical in origin, but time would tell if this guy wanted to continue his stay here or not. This city has a way of weeding out the weak and perservering the strong men and thieving kenivers. Connor finished his food and threw it into a nearby trashcan. Claping his hands together to be rid of all the salt left over he swallowed the rest of his food and spoke. “Well, see I’m heading into high school. Sounds simple but it’s not. I’ve got my sources that constantly inform me that Kasihana high is a terrible god awful place where cliques occasionally have all out wars and where most teachers are afraid of the students!...and that my friend is a pradise for me. I’ve always dreamed of being a yakuza, ruling my own shit. Well this school is my chance to do that. If I can start from the bottom. Take over, work my way into every single clique I can think of, and get the right crew together, then I’ll be king of Kasihana high. And these next four years will soar by as if they never happened.” Connor would gesture his hands to spread open, showing how “smooth “ it would be. “Plus, people are like sheep. No matter how many you have, someone has to lead the heard. They flock to it. well I’m gonna be that shepard. What do you say? It’s a 50/50 thing,   you look after me I’ll look after you.”

New Member Added To the Party: Jackie
JinzoningenJu: After Jackie had finished his food he began to hear Connor speak about his gang he was creating it seemed pretty legit as it began to make Jackie think what would be his plan how will he and Connor do all of this without a soild plan? And thats when it hit Jackie as he said "Sure but we must come up with a solid plan to take over the school and I think I can handle this without using my talnet of fighting my firend." Holding out his hand towards Connor if he would shake his hand the deal would be made and so would a starting friendship

Connor would look at him, and raise a brow. He was right. As much as connor hated planning things out, he knew the only way they’d get somewhere in the first place would be with proper planning and prep time. Getting started ahead of time would be the key to things, and this guy seemed like a good decision maker. While small connor acknowledged he himself was not very versed in this aspect. “What do you think Washi?’ connor spoke to his oni mentally. “I think, if you’re hell bent on doing this, siding with him might be your best bet. Give you an ally and a friend. Take every advantage you can get Connor, you’lll need it.” Connor would mentally nod, before looking back at Jackie. “Alright then. You be the brains, and I’ll be the brawns. Together we’ll wreck shit and look cool while doing it.” connor would shake the man’s hand, and grip it firmly, to show   he meant business. An ally gained is a plus one for plan conquer of Kasihana high.
