A Pillar Stands Tall [Pillar Claim/Challenge, Open]

[Magnus Hex]

"Hmm..." The redhead could be seen staring blankly into space as he smoked a stick of cigar at a table inside the cafeteria. It was as if he was pondering about something. He'd raise his feet and rest it on top of the table, puffing a cloud of smoke as he did. "Ahh..." He'd say as if he was enlightened. Putting his feet off of the table, he'd then stand up from his seat. As he stood, he'd jump up on the table, standing tall to make sure everyone would see him. He was making a scene, most of those within the cafeteria stared at him curiously. Then, he'd speak in an ever so smooth voice, probably loud enough only for those immediately around him to hear.  "I want to be a pillar." It was a sudden thought, though he planned to pursue this. Sooner those who have heared him would start laughing, and those who didn't would get word from those who did, initiating the laughter of nearly everyone in the cafeteria. Food, trays, utensils, anything of reach from the students to throw at him would be chucked mockingly at the redhead. It would seem as if he was ignoring these, though he was pissed, he'd grit his teeth causing his cigar to be cut in half as an apple's core would bonk him in the head. As a response to this ruckus, Magnus would simply bend down, grab his chair, and smash it harshly next to him on the table. This would cause great damage to both the table and the chair, though not enough to shatter both completely. One of the legs of the wooden chair would shatter, exploding into splinters. This scene would cause most of those in the cafeteria to be silenced to gasps and murmurs. "I WANT to be a PILLAR." He'd say, giving emphasis on the words want and pillar this time around. "And I'll be one." ■ Open ■  (Claiming a pillar postion. Anyone who wishes to may fight me for it)

Literally right behind the male, Emily was munching on one of the cafeteria sammiches. Egg and ham. It was an average day for her- she'd cleaned up a few fights, got a workout in, read a good book....Then, a boy stood up and shouted he wanted to be a Pillar. Emily continued to eat her sammich, not joining in the laughter. As the kid smashed a table and people went silent, her eyes finally traveled up. Everyone, or almost everyone, seemed to turn to look at her. She slowly stood, walking the tray over to the garbage and dumping out the crust and her milk. She would set the tray on the counter and grab a napkin, cleaning her hands with seemingly no worry that her back was to the room.

She was wearing sweatpants and a black hoodie, the word "CAPTAIN" in white text on the back. She was cleaning her fingernails as she turned around, still not really looking at him, trying to dig peanut butter from under there.

"Why?"

The lady who spoke, the School Captain was she? Magnus would hear her ask. The redhead would take another stick of cigar on from within his pocket, lighting it with his zippo lighter. "Hmm?" He'd hum, his voice muffled by the cigarette between his teeth. He would turn his head to face the lady, looking down at her from above the table. "I've heard about it." A puff of smoke would escape Magnus' mouth as he spoke. Staring at the girl intensely with his crimson orbs, though the deadpan expression was still seen on his face. "And I wanted in." He would add, quite terse with his words. Giving another puff of his cigar, he'd turn his head back at front, pausing for a while. "You're the captain right?..." "...Should I show you?..." He'd say as he stepped down from the table, dragging the broken chair he had just smashed at his back as he approached the lady clad with the captain's hood. "...My capabilities, that is..." "...Hmm?" ■ Open ■

She stared, hands at her side.

Clearly, she wasn't threatened.

"Your abilities don't interest me. Your motivation does. Getting you strong will be easy. Changing your attitude won't be worth the trouble."

Hearing about being a Pillar and just deciding to do it without any real driving desire made it sound as though the Pillarship was a little toy. A badge to pin on your chest and make you feel important. Anyone could claim to be a Pillar- but actually being one took work. And loyalty. She determined who the first Pillars would be, and this kid so far wasn't measuring up to her standards.

"But, if you intend to try and make a display, by all means......try."

She still stared, waiting.

Magnus smiled as the lady had spoken, walking closer to the girl till they were facing each other. He'd let go of the chair, dropping it to the ground, and kicked it away afterwards. He did plan on hitting her with it to be honest, though he didn't see enough reasons to do so.  "I would've asked you on a date if you weren't so harsh. Though I don't suppose you'd accept it anyways."  He didn't do any hostile action yet, deciding to look a bit more carefully at the lady. "I''m not really fond of hurting girls. Though seeing you're the captain, I suppose you can take it."  Magnus took a puff of his cigar, creating a cloud of smoke above his head, then all of a sudden, he began to attack. As Magnus' torso lowered to a crouch, a left uppercut would be aimed towards the lady's stomach, followed up by a right jab aimed at her pretty face. "Tell me, what is a pillar?..." ■ Open ■

His movements were thick, linear. Like the air was molasses and he was trying to move through it. The way he watched her and moved said his eyes were just as slow as he was. She lazily stepped aside to her left, his right and threw out a right snap front kick for his hip. It wouldn't be meant to cause the kid pain, but to simply send him slamming into the chair he set down and to take a lesson in humility.

"A Pillar is nothing. A word. The individual makes the title, not the other way around. It takes integrity, respect, and a desire to protect. You don't seem interested in any of those."

Her hands were still at her side, waiting for him to attack (assuming her attack was successful)

As the lady kicked him, Magnus would cough a puff of smoke out as he would stagger backwards, though before he could fall, he'd stomp his right leg at his back to keep him steady. "Tsk. Tsk. Tsk." He'd say as he motioned his index finger from left to right after hearing her answer to his question. "A pillar is a tall column aimed to support a structure." He'd say after her short lecture was given. "And I want to be that pillar." He would add, spitting his cigar to the ground and stomping at it with his feet. "I won't let anyone down, no matter how heavy it might be for me." "A leader's duty... And I want to lead..." He'd continue to attack, even though he was aware of how his movements were easily perceived. He'd spring towards the lady, aiming to deliver a superman punch with both of his fists aiming to hit her.  ■ Open ■

"Different meanings of the same thing. Word play doesn't make you look cute."

Emily stared, watching the attack come and just....stood there. Both his fists slammed into her face, causing her to stumble back several steps. Her head was whipped back a little, and after would hand. Her hair came down around her head before she brought her blue eyes up. What he said there- that was totally different than what he intimated before. Just hearing about it and wanting to stake a claim for pure personal gain was a different beast than wanting to represent the school. Be strong. Protect. Blood dripped from her chin with her smirk.

Theme

"Now that's more like it."

She zipped up her jacket, not bothering to wipe her mouth as she would step forward, likely appearing as a blur to him. She would stop in front of him and step left, aiming a sharp left cross for his face. If it hit, she'd dip low and lurch forward, aiming to stick her hands on the back of each of his thighs and lift him up to rush backward and tackle him through a table with her coming on top. This was meant as a one-two combo with the aim of discombobulating her opponent.

"Ma? I want to be a king someday! I'd be a great ruler! Everyone would love me!"  "Of course they will hun..." It was but a child's dream, one which spontaneously popped on a child's easily influenced mind. But this dream took a bigger impression to this particular child... --------------------- "...Of course they will..." --------------------- Magnus would land from his attack, standing on both feet. But as the girl recovered from the hit she had recieved, his feet would be back in the air once more after being lifted to be slammed into a table. As he laid his upper portion on the table and his legs being held by the lady, Magnus would attempt to put the girl's head in between his legs, and attempt to crush her head by squeezing it from both sides using his legs. Usually, this isn't what he does when a lady is in between his legs, a shame it had to be a fight, if it wasn't, hell knows what. ■First half was a flashback when he was a kid■

As he hit the table, he'd find the posture needed to squeeze her head difficult- since, as previously mentioned, she had slammed his ass through the table. The wood would snap like a twig, breaking in half from the sheer force of her scoop slam. As the male would go through it, she would follow only to shift forward to a mount position, having used his falling momentum to put a little distance between their bodies to make that possible.

If it worked, and she was able to get atop him, she'd start raining down punches.

[Magnus Hex]

Usually, this isn't what he does when a lady comes crashing on top of him. A real shame to have it be a fight, real shame indeed.  As the table would shatter, Magnus' torso would jolt upwards from the pain, followed by the girl positioning herself to pin him. "Oooh... Kink--" Before even finishing his sentence, the girl would begin to send a barrage of punches, all of which hitting the defenseless man. As she rained down more punches, Magnus would attempt to squirm out of her pin, if she were to resist, he would then repeatedly bang his head upwards, aiming to head-butt the lady as many times as he can. ■open■

As he would attempt to push upward, Emily's right hand would snatch out for Magnus' left wrist. Her body would spin around the arm, her right leg aiming to plant on his neck while her left would be across his chest. His arm would be pulled up through her legs and stretched out in a classic armbar. If it worked, she wouldn't hesitate to teach him the lesson she had intended.

She would snap his arm without restraint.

[Magnus Hex]

Usually, this isn't what he does when a lady tries to break his arm. 'Cause really, what kind of lady would do that? As the lady attempted to pull his arm, he would find it difficult to resist without choking with her foot on his neck. He'd grit his teeth in protest from the pain. He'll have to get out of this, and fast. The redhead would attempt to raise her leg, the one across his chest, using his right hand. Once raised, he would have his left leg go under and over her leg. Once his leg is on top of hers, he'd attempt to bring his leg down on her knee as he would raise her leg even more with his hand, pushing upward with his hand and downward with his leg as hard as he can. If successful, this would snap the leg inward. ■open■

As his palm would hit the bottom of one of her legs, her other leg would cross over it and both would slam down as her hips thrust upward against the joint of his arm- turning her entire body into a fulcrum. So while his chest had her legs pressing on it, her abs, ass and arms would be adding duplicating pressure to the area he was trying to push up against with his single arm.

Assuming the arm snapped, she'd release it and roll backward, giving him the chance to hold it and scream if he needed. 

OOC: Here, hope this helps for imagery about the pressure, weight and force distribution. Hips in this pic are whats important.

"GURAAAAHH!" The redhead would bellow in agony as his arm would crackle and snap. Magnus would attempt to catch his breath once the lady were to roll over. "Good grief lady! You should try the underground sometimes, never been defeated before, this is a first." He'd say, still laying on the ground, not moving an inch. He thought he was strong, but he was just a big fish in a pond, he was yet to see the ocean. He'd sigh, rolling his head to face the girl, giving her the same deadpan expression he sported at the start. "Gah... So this is why you were the captain..." "...I guess I'll take my leave before the infirmary gets fully occupied..." He'd say, though he still kept his back flat on the floor. He didn't feel like standing up. "... Or maybe later..." ■open■
