[center][hr][hr][h1][color=868324]Jackson Hunt[/color][/h1][hr][hr] [img]http://i.imgur.com/hsQiIaa.jpg [/img] [b][u]Location:[/u][/b] Control Room [b][u]Interacting With:[/u][/b] Harold [@Beefydork] Jessica [@FacePunch] [b][u]Mood:[/u][/b] Calm -> Exhausted[hr] It was quite clear that none of these three were too skilled in the social niceties and such, but Jackson felt delighted that he was actually able to continue a conversation. At least when he was talking to Harold and Jessica, he seemed competent at it... almost. He listened as Jessica answered his question, returned it. and then asked, "[b][color=silver]Uh, why don't we head inside?[/color][/b]" [i]That would probably be a good idea. We certainly won't be required to talk this much while we work.[/i] "[b][color=868324]Sounds like a good idea,[/color][/b]" Jackson replied, walking through the doors into the actual control room.While he walked inside, he answered, "[b][color=868324]As for your question, Jessica, you'd honestly never catch me in here unless it was on my schedule, but this morning, I forgot that it was the weekend. By the time I realized, I was already almost out the door. I decided to see whether I could study with a teacher or something, but, lo and behold, every classroom was locked. I just figured that the control room was better than nothing.[/color][/b]" He recalled the events of his morning with a shrug. Jack smiled as Harold stated, "[b][color=FFD75B]I don't mind working on my socializing skills.[/color][/b]" Perhaps that was what made them so comfortable with talking to each other. They were all terrible at talking to other people. It was honestly ironic, and it brought a smile to Jack's face. "[b][color=868324]Yeah, I could always use a bit of work, you know, talking to other people.[/color][/b]" He thought of how he really didn't know many of the people in this school too well and how many people he's never really talked to. [i]Perhaps I should try to get to know some more people around campus.[/i] Still, it would be rude to leave, and somehow, he actually felt like working in the control room today. Instead, he walked towards one of the AI's programmed for fighting and settled into a loose stance. The machine took this as a signal to begin and came after him. Just as it was about to land a punch on him, Jack focused and felt time once again stop around him. Everything fell motionless, including the AI that he was fighting. An obvious combat advantage. For this reason, Jack felt that combat in the control room was highly unbalanced, but it was simply how his powers worked. Besides, he knew that he was ever attacked, he didn't plan on fighting fair. So, Jack got to work, delivering multiple punches to the face and stomach, chops to the neck, and finishing the display with a kick to the groin. Beginning to feel a pressure in the back of his head, almost nagging him, "Quit messing with the laws of physics!" he decided to let the world work its magic and let time pass again. As he expected, the AI functioned as any human would and was knocked out immediately from a sensory overload as every hit Jack had delivered appeared to hit the machine at the same time. [i]Typical.[/i] "[b][color=868324]You know, you'd think that artificial intelligence would be a bit more... intelligent.[/color][/b]" he said with a laugh. In truth, most of the training that Jack did in the control room was to do with lengthening the amount of control he had over time and how long he could hold it for. Still, he imagined that the others would be in some sort of combat training while they were in here, and he didn't want to give them any reason to feel uncomfortable. Using his powers for combat, however, made him drastically weary, so he sat in the corner of the room and watched Harold and Jessica train while he caught his breath. [/center]
