Chapter 18 - Inked-Up! - Saucy Gear & Tattoos For Days!
A large smile formed on the Big-Mans' face who witness the retreating form of the Ralph - His footsteps seemed... louder than beforehand. Smiling with a bit of confidence where that casually-dressed teenager opened up the elevator door; before heading inside as his head turned and he gave a polite wave similar to how royalty would do so to their subjects.
Richard simply raised a hand only to extend a middle-finger upward that Ralph's mouth exploded to let out a loud chuckle and laugh; it was practically overwhelming considering how loud the noise may be.
Disappearing from sight... The youth's face shifted to one of focused - eyes traveling downward as his mind... exploded. All of that information which was put aloud - Richard's lips were tightly pressed against one and another.
...
A notification of the system sounded off as his eyes widened slightly after opening to see what was filling his view.

'The Updated Player System! So - this is what was... Yes... It makes much, more sense!' The interesting and detailed format that his 'elder' provided. Some points like Skills or Badges may reveal a certain degree of a player's play... Yet... if he could identify the type of players' he'll face on the court... He'll garner an finer understanding than most.
Despite the reward of an improved ability; Richard felt... uneasy. Ralph's criticism on him struck something; not a nerve or rather... His mind was picture the back of Jackson... As if it was a mountain itself... That was so far and seemingly impossible to climb.
Ralph wasn't expecting to go far... Why... There had to be a reason as to why... Was there someone that was playing who could defeat him... or rather; was there a team who could beat his crew.
...
Who'd would they be?
...
His hand wandered to his chin and grasped it to rubbing as if he was a scholar pondering the most important details of the world or the finer sciences.
Who would it be?
His thought process drifted to numerous players. Small, Tall, Thin, Fat, Strong, Weak - Everything in between who may play against him. Shooters, Scorers, Defenders. Athletic-Born Beasts or Divinely-Skilled Talents.
..
A smile crept up as a droplet of sweat run down the side of his head after thinking about such things. Relatively, big hands clenched where his hands dropped to his side and formed fists. Tightly holding the bags from the competition which he won early in the day. Three-bags loaded to the capacity with all-kinds of items including a pair of fresh-sneakers! A fire was awakened in him as he became temporarily deaf to the world itself whilst his mind continued to think about what may happen.
...
Malcom judged him in comparison to Jackson. He openly stated that Jackson would beat him if he actually tried... then why didn't he? Was the Asian Player unable... or simply didn't want to.
Ralph stated that he wasn't too good; overall. His Dunking, Blocking & Rebounding happened to be subpar - What could that mean? Did the teenager compare Richard to the other Big-Man... A visible full-body tense came over as if he was ready to explode to action with his smile straining further on his face.
Richard put the money on the line yet... Was Jackson holding back even when he could've won so much 'money?'
...
A form of looseness welled from every pour of his being; his face relaxed and his mind blanked out after throwing away all of these thoughts for the moment... Letting out a satisfied sigh which he felt...
Clear?
...
Yeah. That was it.
...
That's what the Big-Man understood what was in-front of him... A mountainous-wall that was Jackson's shadow.
...
He'll take that information and let it... develop... It was a goal.
Earning Malcom's respect... It happened to be a reward in of itself.
Ralph's respect... It would mean alot as well... Perhaps more considering that Jackson held a brother-like relationship with the Big in comparison to Malcom who was more a friend and an underling in comparison... Not to be rude.
Richard didn't plan on losing to anyone or going down without a fight so long as he was on a court; Hard-Wood or Black-Top. His body turned on a dime as his feet drove him forward in the direction of his home... Yet his eyes widened.
...
A thought overcame his mind with youth childish joy grew from inside of him!
'Wait... MY NEW STUFF!' A wide-eyed Richard smiled and raised his bags up to look at the bags in head. Looking directly at the it's logo appearing to be a sharp '1v1!' in white in contrast to the black-background; the shifting of items within made his eyes widen like he was a young lad shaking around a present at Christmas or their Birthday. Dashing where it took him a not even a couple seconds to hurry over the front-door. Hand proceed to dig right into his pockets followed by him whipping out a key-chain. Easily filling through it as the useful tool entered the lock and the clicking-and-clacking of the internal-mechanism lead to it opening as his hand swiftly twisted the door-knob which Richard practically flew inside where he pounced forward.
Dropping his knees before the young man proceeded to unlace his casual Adidas shoes to swiftly take them off yet a sound took over his hearing rather than his excited breath and the clatter of his shoes coming down on the stone-tiles that shifted to wood. A soft jingle came over from the living room, shifting to soft tones in rhythmic beats from what could be heard as drums firing off like lightning.
Standing up where his freehand picked up both of his sneakers where his head turned up to look further onward to the depths of his household and noticed the living-room lights happened to be on at the moment. Alit by the electrically lights yet the T.V. wasn't on? 'Mom isn't here?' Wondering to himself when he heard a harmonizing voice cried out with the beat slowing down yet the voice turned into various vocal tunes that the boy was able to look at the source of the noise. Richard's father was currently seated at the dining table where his main-phone on it's surface and happened to be play some music that Richard knew was from the 2020s or even earlier! Knowing that his father enjoyed more than the modern-day hip-hop in comparison yet as his head bobbed up and down; his hands happened to move fast like a magician making the boy slack-jaw.
The man was drawing something into the papers of a fat and old-school, leather large sketch-book but that didn't matter as his hands was like a machine!
Swift movements as he created lines and outlines; adding great shades and streaks within the image itself. What he was making... Happened to be a page filled with draws of immeasurable detail that one would assume it would take a master artist... Days to create.
In the center piece - A grouping of several lions laid on a plain of grass. Lioness relaxed on guard with cubs playing with each-other but the most eye-catching happened to be a Male Lion. Resting whilst his mane popped out as he looked onward; wrapped around the image was a runic circle of cursive-like writing forming into bundles of blue and red flowers to edges of the drawing.
Humming a song as his Father put down the drawing yet his attention was drawn to the creaking noise of a floorboard. "Hm? Oh - Richard, Welcome Home." To his side from from a corridor leading from the door; the man noticed and looked over to his child whose eyes widen and his mouth was slack. The words snapped the youth right out of his stupor where the attention made him lose his balance and tumble right onto his side in a funny manner as the fair-skinned man chuckled at his biracial son's attics. "Ow." Popping out aloud as the boy groaned and rolled around but was able to snap up to his feet in a moment. "Whew." His father shook his head as he said. "Man - You won the Lotto." His son's brow raised and his head tilted but the man waved him off.
Shaking his head and clearing his throat, Richard proceed to say. "Good Afternoon, Dad." Giving a nod as the man nodded back towards the developed-boy. "Welcome Home, my boy... Did you go shopping?" His father asked aloud where he gestured to the bags in his sons' hand where the boy's cheeks flushed a reddish-tint that he happily said. "No. I won a competition and got so much cool stuff!" Lifting the bags up to head-level and putting up a bold smirk whilst the boy had raised a thumps-up as well making the grown-man smiled yet saying. "Okay; well. Relax and kick your feet up. We'll speak on your tattoo matter after dinner." Stating it as which Richard's eyes shined with a whitish-sparkle in contrast to oddity that his eyes naturally had. Nodding respectful before he 'kicked rocks' in the direction of his room.
Swinging his head-side-to-side where he spun around and gently put down his bags.
...
"Crap. Got wash up." Exiting his quarters before swinging over bathroom to get cleaned up. Scrubbing his hands with slightly-warm water, getting some proper soap, coating them and washing off the suds that remain attached to his hands along with giving his face a slight wash.
Finishing; he dried both hands and face with hand-towel that was hung to the side as he exited. Yawning yet he still had bundles upon bundles of energy. Heading right back where his feet planted to his sides as he posed; gently pushing open his door than flicking on the lights inside.
His eyes happened to be drawn to the bag where feet took him into his room and he closed the door behind himself.
...
In a montage of dance moves, high-intensity cheers and smooth whispers that was all-directed to the bags yet he finished by bowing to the side of his bed and praying to something for good-luck.
...
Following that display of odd actions.
He took out everything in a bundle that came falling right down onto his bed.
"OOOOOOOoooooooOOOOOOoooooOOOOOooooooWWHWHWHHWWH!" A high-pitch cry rang out as his mouth formed into an 'O' which he stood up after taking out everything. All sorts of emotions rang through his body that made him flying to his feet and punch the air in excitement.
"What?! Okay! Yes!" Pumping his fist a couple of times which his sight came over to the sight of his bed.
Multiple beams of different-colored light shot upward that made him smile as he looked at everything. The system gave off a couple notifications which appeared making him pleased.

Pumping his hands and putting them all to the side that happened to be his desk itself.
...
A long exhale came as eyes went to the... shoes... it has got to be the shoes, man!
They had been glowing like some guy with spiky, blonde hair from his mother's cartoon shows that she liked too much in Richard's opinion but he simply ignored the general idea which was being summoning to mind. A long inhale and exhale where he reached over to the shoe-box - grasping it and tearing away at the plastic.
His eyes going wide after seeing an grey and black elephant-like pattern all-over the entirety of it's surface... with a huge Jumpman logo appearing.

...
Richard collapsed as foam formed from his mouth at the overpower equipment.
Moments later and recovering from his faint; the youth snapped and was practically bowing down to the shoe as if it was god himself(?) upon seeing such awesomeness.
...
It's got to be the shoes... Half of the time but these were freaking Over Developed!
What mad lad created these?
The boy's mind drifted to a laughing figure standing over a cartoony version of the Air Jordan Millilumen which was on a slab. "It's Alive! IT'S ALIVE! MWAHAHAHAAHA!" Madness overtook the figure where the idea went poof when the boy had suddenly began to shake his head around to ignore the weird thoughts.
Reaching over and pick it up the amazing shoe as it was soft yet hard at the same time. "Whoa." He bent it slightly at the toe area which bent easily and snapped back when he realized it.
"Amazing." Speaking out in complete shock only to be silenced when he heard through his door. "DINNER!" It was his mother's voice who rung aloud that snapped him from his stupor. Shocked as the boy's mind thought out. 'How long was I looking at this heat?!' Shocked yet he relaxed and put away the shoe whilst he placed everything on his desk before exiting his room.
Coming over to the diner table which was coated in numerous things but the meal?
Fried-Fish Soft-Tacos, Son!
"Whaaaaaaaaaaaa?~" Noise ripping out as Richard nearly smell over at the sight, smell and image of the display.
Slack-Jawed as his blinded eyes to such perfection didn't see the image of his pajama-wearing Mother who lightly bonked him on the head with a clean-small, metal spoon. "Ow." Knocking out of his dazed state to look over to his mother where her hand went over and closed his jaw for him which surprised him greatly, turning over to look at her whilst she was shaking her head profusely before she pointed to his seat and openly said. "Sit your big behind down, Richard."
Chuckling alittle at that as the boy sat down where she was sat down as well. His father as well which he gave the boy a pat on his shoulder and a kiss to his wife where he sat down as well. "Well... Make your tacos!' Commanding where the family dug in after the head-woman's words.
His father went simply with sour-cream, cheese, lettuce for his portion. Richard got alot of everything - Spicy, Creamy and Fresh Vegetables alongside some additional toppings for flavor. His mother was the same but she ignore the sour-cream and simply went with salsa and hot-sauce instead.
Pleased groans and moans escaped all of them as they enjoyed every bit of the food. Richard was extremely pleased after finishing around 10 tacos - Knocking out his mother at 2 and his father at 5 with a satisfied pat on his belly and a stupid-smile on his face. The woman groaned and yanked him out of his stupor with a tug of the ear; beckoning to help her with all of the dishes which he obeyed and proceeded to do so.
...
As the dining room was clear and Richard's mother gave him a kiss goodnight. As the youth happened to be left along with his father who was nurse down a mug of black coffee which he said. "... So... What would you like?" Giving his boy a stare where a long-sweat formed all over him.
"..." Richard looked down at the wooden surface of the table as his mind thought about everything.
It had to mean something.
...
For gods' sake; Tattoos happened to be permeant and they stay with you! The boy's brow tensed in thought - Sweating as Richard's Father's brow simply raised and he sweatdropped himself. 'Wow... The lad is really thinking about it.'
...
"I... I-I got some ideas, Dad." Nodding where Richard spoke out with his father's eyes going wide.
...
A smile peered onto his face and the grown man proceeded to ask. "Interesting... That... Those things happened to fit with you, son... They really do." Nodding in agreement as a confident boy as he looked at the large, grown-man who had become deathly silent.
...
"You know what... You did good, Boy... Yeah... Yeah." Richard snapped to his feet and punched the air in joy as he exploded into a fit of laughter and smiles making the boy exclaim. "YES! I GOT THIS! LET'S GOOOOOOO!" His father laughed at the child's attics but the two ceased when the head woman of the family popped her head out of the bedroom and shouted at the two. "SHUT UP!"
...
The two snickered to themselves with his father giving him a big hug.
"We'll see what we can do. Who knows... You'll be getting a bundle like your old-man, soon." Wrapping his son into a headlock where the two playfully rough-housed with each-other yet Richard suddenly went stone-quiet. "Richard?" His father asked who perked and waved off his father's concern.
