Shopping At Party City
“Okay,” Jack confirms, understanding the parameters limiting the distance he can fly and the height, he takes a moment to look around and size up the area, getting a feel for the shape of the area beyond his initial assessment. Looking back toward the man at the mention of injuries to offer a sober nod at that. Scary, he smirks.
Hearing about the beams, he pauses for a second. He’d been fine with not touching, but if beams are allowed, why not allow him to use his hands. He almost brings it up, but instead simply nods again.
Hovering a few feet into the air, he glances in the direction of where Darja had gone and then floats a few feet away. Waiting for the word to begin so that he can start to evade Darja.
The moment the word is given, he focuses so as to slow his perceptions of time to its fullest and jerks a few feet further away from Hard Time, giving him time to not to have to worry about the man as he glances over in the direction of Darja who is undoubtedly already hurtling toward him. He watches her arms as she approaches in not quite slow motion and simply shifts another few inches out of her reach as her built up momentum sends her sailing past.
Shifting his attention momentarily back to Hard Time he watches the man moving, and rather than letting him play any sort of games with the two of them and their flying antics. He simply blows on the man with a burst of gale force winds between two of the man’s charging steps, when he’s in the air—timing it so as to throw the man backwards—to whatever effect.
He pulls away even further at that point, and darts off into the woods near to the ground. Since the tree cover is sparse, he’d rather not get tangled up by ripping through the foliage. Instead he simply darts the length of the copse of trees and hovers there. Waiting for Darja to charge in again. Following her progress as she tries to circle around toward his right, thinking he can’t see her, he follows her through the trees.
This time, he doesn’t wait for her to close the distance entirely before dodging. Instead he flattens himself vertically and flies directly at her and then darts past her in the other direction. Their combined motions, he hopes, more than adequate to keep her from responding in time to the sudden change in directions.
Glancing in the direction of Hard Time, he notices the man has started to gain a little proximity, though is still dozens of yards away now.
Jack promptly cuts loose a light blast of searing heat vision to light the man’s shoes on fire. Not doing anything more to him, he is curious how the guy will handle it and continues to fly.
Only ten seconds have passed.
Since you gave me the options. I thought I'd start us off, and you could finish us?
