Feels like a coincidence since I had one most of yesterday too. Headaches are evil things.

Jack was silently thankful that everything had calmed down as quickly as it had and after just few moments he stepped away from the very upset girl who caused since she hardly was in a state to listen to him. Hell she even seemed like she was rejecting the help he had gotten from Monica initially, she had been able to after all, and his trying to keep the situation on level. If that was the way he wanted it to be then he wouldn't push for the moment but he had full intention of trying to make an impression on her on at least when to use a power like hers. At least it was over for now as long as they left the girl alone since she seemed to have lost interest in being anywhere near other people which left a bit less of a mess to deal with than what could have been. On the crappy side there would be no doubt Dawson would catch wind of this even if she hadn't been watching at the moment, which he kind of doubted but all the same it was a possibility, and that would mean some people could expect to end up in the bar though he wasn't so worried for himself because a drunk idiot being far easier to control than the average resident.
Jack figured he would end up helping with the clean up at the least not out of any sort of guilt but because it would just be a pain to leave the mall cafeteria messed up though it could have been far worse. That and he would be heading to the bowling alley not long after for his keeping the rest of the employee doing their jobs which with a holiday around the corner might be more tasking than usual but he wouldn't mind in the end because it was high time they had some fun. He tended to be maybe a bit more lax than the other managers but pushing hid buttons or outright disobeying him could and would be dealt with in a matter of moments. With all of it over Monica deciding to get out wasn't a bad idea and it was probably for the best but he would clean up just to leave less to punish lying around all over the floor. "Always up for more if your around. I'll see you around." He said looking forward to another conversation with her.
Its a wonder more people haven't chatted her up, she is something else. Jack mused thinking maybe a few of the others weirder for not talking with Monica more regularly.

It was plenty entertaining. Time to get my ass/brain into gear soon enough for my own post.
Just finished up reading what I missed form yesterday and today. Its never boring that's for sure.
Slept most of yesterday and into today. Its feels nice.
Its gonna get interesting.
Jack found himself slowly coming back to his senses after what felt a lot longer to him he realized several of the others near the younger girl, who was surrounded by fire, who he had previously been ignoring so go figure the trouble would start there. It was a moment he was taking stock of considering how many of them ended up effected by whatever they had been going through and apparently it made some of them extremely aggressive. Not exactly something he could relate with but nonetheless he had a feeling the girl had caused it not having been able to make out much while under her power's effect but given that she was under so much duress it left no room for doubt. Despite having more than a few unwelcome feelings and thoughts brought up it had done no permanent harm and it seemed not all unlike the side effect from his own power or the main facet of it at least. Sort of know how that works, using a power like that for defense doesn't work as well as you think though mine takes longer to do that.
Something occurred to Jack once he looked back down at his hands and the table edge he was gripping noticing another problem with the near full breakdown. Where his hands had been gripping the table looked like it had been eaten away at like acid further in making quite the mess out of it especially since it hadn't stopped though he imagined it slowed down quite a bit considering how much damage it had done so quickly. "Shit." He mumbled dissipating the corruption through the table even if the bulk of the damage was already done. It was not a favorable thing his power did when it ended up attacking objects or people but it was there and he sure as hell kept it out of spotlight whenever possible, better to have people thinking his power was more along the lines of persuasion than what it actually was. Beyond that he had heard Monica's last words before it went bad and he would address it later after things had settled down more from now. He got up and moved over to check what other damage had been done by the others as well as maybe try to talk to the girl afterwards, he was concerned which was probably written all over his face. Jack picked his way over to the edge of the ring of fire purposely between the rest of the effected besides the other trying to help and the girl to keep another barrier in the way incase of any nasty second thoughts. "Put away the weapons, its over. Just back away and collect yourselves for now." He said keeping a calm tone doing his best to appeal to reason and if they decided not to listen he wasn't going anywhere.

Hows it going everyone?
Always liked brownies more than hot chocolate. 
I also feel bad for Jack right now because he is too stubborn to not fight against Lyra's power in some way or another which is probably doing more bad than good.

Jack was pleased to see Monica able to loosen up what with her normally avoiding conversation but he didn't dwell on it much because of getting something out of her even if it was incredibly simple. Though now he actually had to come up with something to say about his own morning that was at least not a shit reply. "Besides the good weather and company its hard to complain, though the trumpets could use some work but I'd rather not have her bring out air raid sirens instead." He said with bit of a chuckle of the thought even if he wouldn't put it past Dawson to actually do it. When he heard her reply it definitely brought a few questions and an interesting topic to think about later but for now he would rather not drill her for info at the moment. "Suppose you have a point there. I just look at everyone as weird but I find all the quirks interesting rather than strange because its less boring that way." He said sort of musing on the subject from his different perspective and sharing a bit of it. He never doubted for a second he was looked at differently and it was funny to know even normals looked at each other the same way noting the look towards the younger girl who he had been ignoring out of mild annoyance and not wanting to deal with the fuss though the sudden fogginess in his mind caught him by surprise.
Jack felt a quick resurgence in the blind anger leading up to crushing guilt and then mixing in a growing margin of self hate. Honestly he had never truly stopped thinking about murdering his mother refusing to put the blame on anyone but himself for being stupid, impulsive, and not to mention overly confident because of his powers. Though he hadn't had this bad of a recollection in years nor so suddenly that even in his current state something felt horribly wrong with his own mind. His hands clamped onto the edge of the table tight which started to turn his knuckles white causing some pain as well as a sense of something outside of his own thoughts which were jerked to the surface. For him the sensation sort of kept just a small bit of him grounded to reality and in flashes he was sure this wasn't just happening to him but one thing he did know was that he wanted it to stop. He also did his best to fight it more down to a survival instinct than anything else though his will would probably only get him so far but just having that small grip kept his from utterly losing it which for now he refused to do.
