His arms were thrown back over the back end of the bench and he seemed to be staring absently into the sky. One day in, his hand was already sewn up, his side was completely fine and he wasn't at all concerned with any other situation. Next to him lay a pad of sketch paper and a little pencil, obviously well used, but the pad was opened to a completely blank page. It was a beautiful twilight, and since it was his first day/night there, he was going to enjoy the show the sun and moon put on for him. Even if it was only going to be the once. « Last Edit: Mar 26, 2016 23:26:15 GMT -6 by Jude O'Connor » Back to Top   Joshua Eichmann Agent Trainee Defense Level 12 Paladin [send pm] Joined: January 2016 Gender: Posts: 331 Organic Paper (Open) « Mar 27, 2016 16:23:28 GMT -6 » Quote Select Post Deselect Post Link to Post Member Give Gift Back to Top Well, this kid definitely wasn't old enough to smoke. It'd been a long day of running errands, getting a savings account set up and other various things his mom had been reminding him to do from back home so he could set up his future or whatnot. Now he was heading through the campus with no other purpose than to go back to his pod, maybe relax, take a shower, sift through Evie's horror movie selection and finally go to bed. He could take his time about it, though, no more deadlines. So of course, on the way, he found somebody of interest. Being a non-smoker, Josh decided stand near the far side of the bench, hands stuffed in his pockets in the usual pose of comfort. His eyes let themselves wander to the blank paper, then to the quiet, staring boy. "So. Whatcha gonna draw?"

"Drawing?" Jude looked down toward his sketchpad. "Oh yeah, that, not so sure, I just got here. I'm Jude, sup?" He asked, with a crooked smile on his face.

Fair. It's a great sunset out tonight! No way you'd capture that with just a pencil, though. You'd need like, paint for that, huh?" An extended hand came forth, but Josh was visibly trying to avoid the smoke. "Josh. Um, 'sup?"

It sure was pretty, there was no arguing that. "Sure. As soon as I figure out what a spliff is."

Messed up and let it slip I had powers during high school." Josh forced himself to smirk, still looking skyward. That was a fun football game until that happened. "Once the jig was up, I finished school and then went to Paradigm when they contact me. I can put my abilities to good use here, it's just a matter of playing catch-up." Josh looked back, appraising Jude just a little bit. "You've gotta be younger than me. Are you a student here?"

Nice place, nice digs, some of the folks are good some bad, same as anywhere I suppose." Jude shrugged nonchalantly. "Takin the good with the bad. What's this place like when no one is babysitting?"

Josh's stomach rumbled. Blue wizard needed food badly, or something like that. He guessed he'd be more akin to the knight, what with the shield. He could ponder which Gauntlet class he'd be later. "I guess the same as usual? I happen to know at least twelve good restaurants less than five minutes walking off-campus, so I guess if you ever need something great to eat, I'm your man!" Josh laughed to himself. "And my roommates are fantastic. Guess I wouldn't know a thing 'bout yours, though."

"You got lucky then man my roommate is... Weird." Good to not insult anyone besides dickhead yet. "I'm game to grab a meal with ya sometime if it's not a bother." He smiled towards him pulling off a piece of paper, he'd scribble his number down on it before handing it off to Josh.

I offered!" Josh snatched up the paper between two fingers, gave it a cursory look, then drew out his wallet so he could keep the number in a safe place. "You mentioned some bad folks?"

Mr. Antrum. "Yeah, Mr. Antrum is..." Josh hissed inwardly, thinking about how to put it. "I feel like... it's his JOB to be kind of a jerk. He's representative of Paradigm's desire to see what we're truly made of, what they're workin' with to make us true agents." He turned his head to actually face Jude, doing his best not to focus on the whole 'smoking' thing. Darn, he nearly forgot about that. Still, time and a place. Time and a place. "I'unno what the spiel is for students, but going in as an agent, he immediately told me that the goal was to make him bleed or he'd put me in the hospital. Did he say the same to you?"

"Yeah, said make him bleed or he'll hospitalize me. Fucker destroyed my knife in the process bent it down into my hand and wrist. God damn prick..." Jude's scowl became far more angry. Not only was he not a fan of him. He intended to go and kick the shit out of him the first opportunity he got.

I guess we've got a ton to learn, am I right?" Josh leaned on a nearby lamppost as to appear casual without getting too close to that cigarette. "Believe me. I know. If I screw up, I've got a bunch of lives ridin' on me... but noooo pressure!" He laughed at his own little joke, even though he wasn't necessarily kidding. Not entirely, anyways. "So, what can you do? Shoot laser beams from your eyes? Puke lava? Fart lightning?" Josh asked, grinning.

There was only one life riding on his shoulders that he gave even the slightest of damns about. "Nah, nothing so flashy." The torn piece of paper from his sketchpad, tore itself free from the pad and floated over to Jude's outstretched hand, folding and bending itself until it was shaped like a water lily.

Josh rubbed a finger under his nose in pensiveness. "Well, I'll give you one thing, that sure is pretty as far as powers go. I bet with enough imagination, that could be really scary! ... Unless it's raining, I guess." He smirked and winked; no harm meant to Jude, after all.

"Or something is on fire, how bout you J. What is it that you can do?" As he asked the flower unfolded and refolded itself into a little soldier that marched across the top of the bench.

Josh asked, though he immediately chased the statement. "... Yeah, I can't turn invisible, but I can do the OTHER thing she does, which is like... make shields. Though I dunno if I'm using hard light to make 'em, or if it's like... ectoplasm, or what." Josh shrugged. "All I know is I make barriers and they stop things and they can whack things. Mostly a defensive power." His eyes followed the little soldier as he made his way across the bench. "Now that I think about it, this seems pretty useful. You could have a bunch of these little guys sneak all over a building or something!"

Shields? His brow furrowed a bit as he thought about powers in general. What was the limit on the human body and mind? "That is actually pretty cool, does it work in two directions?" He asked more than a bit curiously. « Last Edit: Mar 31, 2016 12:34:01 GMT -6 by Jude O'Connor » Back to Top   Joshua Eichmann Agent Trainee Defense Level 12 Paladin [send pm] Joined: January 2016 Gender: Posts: 331 Organic Paper (Open) « Mar 31, 2016 14:07:48 GMT -6 » Quote Select Post Deselect Post Link to Post Member Give Gift Back to Top Josh pulled one hand out of his pocket to scratch the tip of his nose with a frown. "Two directions? Whaddaya mean by that?" There were still lots of nuances about his shields he had yet to figure out despite possessing his powers for... pretty much his entire life, due to the years he spent not using them. He felt like once he got some clarification he could field this question, though.

"Is it like a pane of glass, things can't go through either side, or is it like one way glass, things are only blocked from on side?" Jude was a terrible teacher, and much worse at explaining things to anyone but Dillon, how to explain platforms and cages to Josh, he had no idea.

It's a two-way deal," Josh said. He put his hands back in his pockets and shrugged. "Sorry to disappoint, since that cuts off like... tons of strategic possibilities. Maybe one day if I can shape them better, I can make like... a riot shield. Stick a little hole in there so people can go 'pew pew pew' with whatever they've got."
