(OOC: I'm a big fan of collaborative "round robin" style RP's like the one that Nyako and Oni have going at the moment, so I thought this would be a good way for Alex to start interacting. Please feel free to respond in whatever way you wish...)
The time had finally arrived for Alex Yin to make her big LAW debut. Already at the arena a couple of hours ahead of showtime, Alex couldn't contain her excitement as she stepped out of the shower in a billowy pink plush bathrobe, her hair piled on top of itself with tresses spilling out of the pink towel giving it shelter.
Stepping across to a nearby bench, Alex sat down and turned to face Chewie in his animal carrier. Smiling at the small mammal, Alex knew that nothing in the world could calm her frantic nerves at that moment. Nothing. Even though the hot water and steam and relaxed her body, even though the robe was extra-snuggly, even though she was sat just above a heater that relaxed her even more. Nothing could calm her. Nothing...
As Alex lay there snoring away, the door to the locker room creaked open and a shadow began to loom over the snoozing rookie...
Nysko looked at the LAW rookie with a curious once over. She didn't know what to think of the pink clad young woman. A quick thought of the young lady being trapped in a giant piece of bubble gum crossed her mind and made her snort in amusement. Something she wasn't prone to do often if ever.
She saw the girl stir and Nyako quickly tried to play it off by trying to cover it up as a throat clearing. "So you're some of the new blood here huh." Nyako said as the young woman stirred some more.
She took notice of the animal career and got a perplexed look on her face. "What's that?" She asked as she bent to get a closer look at the cage.
Alex roused enough to see Nyako looking into the carrier. Slowly, Alex sat up, yawned loudly and rubbed her eyes.
Alex: *sleepily* Ummmmm...hey...careful with the chinchilla...
Alex didn't mean to be rude (at least rude to her standards) but it was something of a shock to suddenly see someone she didn't really know crowd her pet fluffball. Alex bent forwards, almost clumsily knocking Nyako down, as she opened the carrier and took Chewie out. Stroking the animal in her arms as she softly and gently cuddled the pet, Alex looked up at Nyako and grinned.
Alex: *yawn* Sorry. You caught me sleeping. My name's Alex. Alex Yin.
Alex held out her right hand, keeping Chewie in her left.
Nyako noticed how protective Alex was with the chinchilla, it almost reminded her how protective she had been of her sister Oni since reconnecting with her, so she understood the reaction she originally greeted her with. She knew Alex meant no harm; Nyako did a bit too close to the cage as it was.
"Yes that's my name. Nyako Shinsuzuki, but I just go by Nyako usually." She said as she took Alex's hand to shake.
"Welcome to LAW. I'm sorry if I invaded your Chinchilla's space. Honestly never seen one before."
To anyone who knew Nyako this was unlike her usual character. It wasn't that she was mean. At least he didn't think she was. But she always came across more reserved and not very sociable. But seeing as Maleek was trying hard to get her to change her image, she felt she should at least put forth the effort to try to be more outgoing although she was sure she looked uneasy doing it. Still she gave Alex a smile smile.

Maleek Raheem walked in…seemingly oblivious to the fact that he was in the ladies locker room. “Ny! Sup Baby Girl!! I been lookin' all over fo’ you playa! I wanted to…” He paused as he noticed the new girl in her pink towel. He gave her a once over as he exclaimed. “DAMN! WHAT UP GIRL!”
He looked over at Ny. “Hey…is this yo’ new girl pimp?!”

Alex let out a short but loud shriek of shock at Maleek's sudden entrance. Along with the shriek, Alex's hands flew to her chest, instinctively covering her breasts that were already perfectly obscured by her robe. After a second, Alex's look of shock was replaced by one of confusion. Her eyes narrowed in scrutiny as she wiggled her nose and tried to understand Maleek's lingo.
Nyako gave Maleek an Icy look and clenched her jaw. She wanted nothing more than to slug him first for just waltzing in the the women's locker room and second for the remark he made. As she continues to glare at him she responded to Alex partially snarling her answer through hr clenched teeth.
"With him, it's almost a give he's flirting with you especially if your his type which is basically someone with a pulse. But right now I think Mr. Subtle is making reference to me and a personal matter."
Switching her focus all on Maleek now she got right up in his face. "To answer your question, no. She is not my 'new' girl'. She's new to the LAW and seeing as how you want me to be a more outgoing and public person. I thought I would stop by to welcome her, nothing else."

“Good fo’ you!” Raheem remarked to Nyako, as he kept his eye on Alex. He gave her his most dapper look as he posted his foot up on the bench and winked at her. “Well…it’s nice to meet you…Ny’s new friend…you can call me Raheem…or you can just call me…you heard?” He glanced at Nyako and gave her a crafty grin.
“She aint yo’ girl, huh? So you won’t mind if a playa get at her, right? I mean…OH SHIT!! IT’S A RAT!! A BIG ASS RAT!!” Raheem screamed as he jumped back, his eyes wide as he noticed Chewie in Alex’s hand. He stumbled back, nearly falling over with a look of shock on his face.
It wasn’t until he saw the amused looks on their faces that he realized that it wasn’t a rat at all. He tried to compose himself, but it was apparent that he did care for Chewie…regardless of the fact that he or she wasn’t a rat. He looked at Nyako, “Hey! I didn’t want nothin’ really…just tellin’ you good job on th’ centerfold…” he looked at Alex and then down at Chewie as he couldn’t hide the shiver that ran down his spine.
He backed up to the locker room door. “Call me later…I want to work out a video package fo’ you…a’ight?” He waved a Alex, nearly tripping over himself as he backed out of the room and slammed the door behind him.
Alex blinked in astonishment as she stayed silent for a moment. She then lowered her head as she lifted Chewie until they were face to face.
Alex: A rat? Did that strange man call you a rat? You're not a rat, you're my little fuzzball!
Alex grins at the chinchilla before she slides him back into her carrier and locks it. Alex then looks out into space, thinking.
Alex: Maybe I should get a rat as well. Rats are cute, especially if I give him a name like...Mr Tomkins.
Alex yelps with happiness as she unwraps the towel around her head, letting her long black hair cascade down her back. Alex then looks across at Nyako, her big brown puppy-dog eyes sparkling with happiness.
Nyako eyes widened and mouth dropped at the thought of Maleek being her boyfriend. The question caught her off guard and also kind of made her feel slightly nauseated at that prospect. She shook her head trying to regain her composure as a slight taste of bile tickled the back of her throat.
"Never in a billion years. He's like the resident man whore. As I said before you got a pulse then you his type. I unfortunately have to work with him. He's helping me 'change my image'. I tend to not come across to friendly to some people and unapproachable. I'm making an effort to be more out going and marketable. That's why I stopped by to welcome you to LAw."
Nyako felt a bit uneasy explaining to Alex what she was doing. She didn't want the young woman to think she only did this to look good, she genuinely wanted to meet her and also try to be a less standoffish person.
Alex pursed her lips as she sat on the bench feeling slightly awkward about the Maleek situation.
Alex: I'm guessing I might have to see him some more then. See, my problem's the opposite. People have a tendency to think I'm not built for this business. I think you're nice and I already like you, but you're rather tall and imposing with the tattoos and stuff...what I'm saying is, you look like you belong.
Alex stands up, spreads her arms out and looks straight at Nyako.
Alex: Now look at me. I can compete here, I know I can but I'm five-two, I cuddle animals, I wear bright colours...look at this arm.
Alex lifts up one of her sleeves and flexes her arm. There is some muscle definition but it's barely visible.
Alex: But I'm fast. That's how I survive. Problem is, I'm like a creampuff. I look like I could get eaten alive out there. I won't because I know what I'm doing and I'm happynwith who I am...but...I'm not exactly Amazonian.
"Only if someone is trying to play a cruel joke on you." Nyako answered with a smirk on her face.
"Really I'm working with him because the company I'm signed with, Circle Television Network or CTN for short, employs him as a Media, merchandizing, image consultant type. So I agreed to work with him to help increase my brand. In all honesty you only have to work with him if you want too."
Nyako sized the smaller woman up. "But if you are as outgoing as you say you are and it seems to be true. You won't have to worry about needing to improve your brand. I'm sure you can get along on your own with out his expertise. If you handle your self in the ring well enough you'll be climbing the ladder here quickly since you'll be he total package."
Nyako gestured to herself. "Me, I'm more 1 dimensional. The ring is all I care about. The other stuff is a distant second usually for me. But seeing as I'm in the thick of it for the Marquee Title and CTN wants to push me as their rising star. I got to do the media blitz and brand crap." Nyako said.
A hint of annoyance to her situation could be detected in her voice, signifying how little she cared about that aspect of the business.
