Re: Pathos Facility
There is another smile and then Jack leans back some, thinking a moment before speaking. "Well, let's see where to start. Alright, well as you might have guessed, both of my parents were pretty damn bright, though I don't really remember all that much about them. Was raised by close family friends since they were always wrapped up with working. When my own gifts were realized though, it was a during a time where they weren't really needed, and so I went a different path. Started in High School really my path change, I started playing a sport called football."
He stops for a moment then looks at her and asks, "um, does that mean anything to you at all? Not sure if you'd know what human football is or not, so I figure before going any further if you have questions I should try to answer them."

Re: Pathos Facility
This elicits a full laugh from him. "Ah, sure that term works as well. Yeah so I started playing that for a while, drew some interest from certain people for my physical abilities as well as my sharp mind. Eventually I ended up here as you can see, and to be honest, I'm quite looking forward to the day when everything is back to normal and we can all relax again. Other than that there really isn't a whole lot more to me, unless you happen to know who MacGuyver is?"

Re: Pathos Facility
Koike's head cocked to one side, and he gestured to Gil to wait a moment. With that, he stepped over to the doorway leading from the rec lounge into the dining area. He then used his pool cue to point at Jack. "If he asks for a jumble of random items...watch out."
With that said, he returned to the pool table, and waited for Gil to break.

Re: Pathos Facility
"What do you mean, back to normal? as far as I'm concerned, this place is just another job to me. And as for MacGuyver..." She's interrupted at this point by Koike's comment, and smiles before continuing. "Not a clue, though I'm thinking that has something to do with it?"

Re: Pathos Facility
Jack seemed as if he was going to reply to the first part when Koike's comment cut him off. There was a flicker of amusement in his eyes and he visibly was chuckling as Bell answered his own question. "Ah, yes what he said would have something to do with it. I might have brought a few things with me later that will explain that better, but suffice it to say given the right kinds of things to work around with, I can make some... interesting toys with just random stuff."

He shakes his head then says, "Nah, I've said plenty and talked your ear off enough. Besides, now I'm curious here, so go ahead."

Re: Pathos Facility
Koike smirked, then took his shot. The cue ball bounced off of several of the balls, eventually causing all of them to bounce around. Once the chaos on the table died down, Koike's shot had sunk both the one and two balls.

Re: Pathos Facility
"Well alright, lets see..." Bell thinks for a moment before continuing.
"There really wasn't that much interesting in my childhood, right up until I hit more or less the same level as your High School. Up until then I was more or less the model student, seldom late, never skipped, always did my homework on time, yada yada. That year was the one where my parents got me my own computer to do homework with however. I'll just say I did everything but. My grades actually improved, but that was because I was either copying notes and essays from other people online, or getting into the school records and changing my marks."
"This went on for most of High School. As I got better and better with what I did online, I spent more time hiding in my room and less time doing anything else. I started peeking in the wrong places, and eventually other people took an interest in what I was doing. A Military Representative showed up on my doorstep one day almost a decade ago, and gave me a choice. I could be arrested for all the illegal stuff I had done, and there was quite a comprehensive list of it, or I could start flying straight and do a couple jobs for them while I was at it. Hold on a sec, I have to get something to drink. Any questions so far?" She asks as she gets up and grabs some water from the kitchen.

Re: Pathos Facility
Grumbling to himself, Gil readied himself, and then took the shot.
When all the balls settled, nothing had sunk.
"Cockmonkey!"
"How the fuck!? You cheated, I bet.."

Re: Pathos Facility
Koike smirked, then looked at Gil with an impish gleam in his eyes. "Oh, you think that's cheating? Watch this."
Koike's next shot started out like the first one...Only after all the balls began moving on the table, the cue ball bounce off, and began ricocheting around the rec lounge, eventually heading into the dining area. As it was bouncing off of light fixtures in there, Koike calmly balanced the same coin he'd used earlier on it's edge on the tip of his cue stick.
The cue ball proceeded to bounce back into the rec center, off of the coin, and back onto the table, where it stopped. The eight ball was the only solid-color ball that wasn't pocketed, and only half of the stripes were still up.

Re: Pathos Facility
Gil twitched in anger, and gave a mean glare to Koike before readying himself for the next shot, already knowing he had lost this round.
He shot, but none of the balls went in.
"I fucking hate you.."
"Hey, yeah, you know what? Fuck you. Fuck you to hell."

Re: Pathos Facility
Koike shrugged. "It could always be worse. You could be up against someone who actually knows what they're doing."
This shot, in keeping with what Koike had said, is a scratch.

Re: Pathos Facility
Gil's eyes flashed a bright red for a second, and then returned to it's normal dark red color. He readied the next shot, and managed to sink one striped ball in.
"How the hell did you do those last two shots, anyway?"
"I swear to fucking god, when you're sleeping tonight, I'm gonna fucking shoot you in the face."

Re: Pathos Facility
"Dumb luck. I know the basics of how to play pool, and that's pretty much it."
Koike took another shot. "Well, at least I didn't scratch this time..."

Getting lucky, Gil readied and fired off another shot, getting yet another ball sunk.
"Fuck yeah!"
"You and your fucking luck, man.."

Re: Pathos Facility
Koike took another shot, and managed to connect with the eight-ball...Only for it to stop out in the middle of the table. "Random luck, yes. At least as long as it's related to making random spectacles in some game, that is. Other things...fairly normal."
'There's also a few things I really haven't tested with it, yet. But now probably isn't the best time.'
