Saint Joseph School

On behalf of Rooster, Zoey, Devin, Joey, and myself,

Cheers.

"Hang on!"

As if the sight of the five-foot-tall Jade Rooster towering over the gymnasium at the top of the bleachers wasn't absurd enough, it was immediately obvious why his typical shouts of encouragement had been absent for the majority of the try-out - he had apparently spent the time stripping ...

He was almost late. Again.

Rooster all but burst in through the gymnasium entrance, having obviously stopped from a full run. Still in his uniform and with backpack in tow, it was clear he had departed from his previous location in a rush.

With a foolish grin and a iconic thumbs-up to any lookers ...

Hiding Behind a Smile

Rooster's return to Saint Joseph School was muted, but Lei's lingering advice on the necessity of spirit soon sunk in. He quickly rekindled his enthusiasm and recovered his morale, joining cheer squad to ensure that he maintained the optimism of both himself and the others ...

Reunion

Returning to China, Jade Rooster's world was quickly turned on its head once more. Not only was his Master still alive, Lei had apparently been attacked and taken hostage shortly after Rooster's departure. Thanks to basic investigative skills he'd picked up in Paragon, he quickly ...

Strong Enough

Paragon City - and Saint Joseph School - proved to be the perfect environment for the eager young Rooster. The rigors and discipline of the school offered him comfort in its structure, and his training improved by leaps and bounds with the prospect of becoming a licensed hero. Even ...

Jade broke into a trot as the group gathered, coming to rest in a spot that formed something of a circle with everyone. His posture relaxed and ready, he focused his attention on Francis with a respectful silence.

Well, it was almost silence. A tilt of the head allowed Rooster to murmur something ...

A soft creaking noise from the gymnasium doors gave Rooster away as he peeked his head out into the open. What had he gotten himself into this time?

"Mmph." It was clear pleading was going nowhere, and fast. A thought struck him, and a grin crept back across his face. Giving a glance to the bleachers behind him one last time, he eyed the stack of CDs sitting next to Tara and murmured "Something quick and with a beat."

Most of the crowd's ...

"Huh??"

There had to be a mistake. JR quickly loped down the bleachers two or three rows at a time, making his way over to the table with a curious furrow in his brow.

"Frankie, I didn't sign up," Rooster insisted at a loud murmur, flushing at the thought of the crowd's eyes even now, "Are you ...

The one problem with training in the school pool was the lack of clocks.

A damp figure swung through the gymnasium doorway and leapt into the top tier of bleachers, leaving a gust of wind that carried with it the faint chemical smell of chlorine. The Saint Joseph insignia embroidered on the school ...

*points up* Yeah, what she said!

((Not willing to admit it, eh? I smell juicy material for the rumor mill!))
