trainingwings | Now for something completely different

[Action]

[There you are, in the Battle Dome. Trying to mind your own business and do a good day's worth of training. But this guy's too bored to let you do so in peace. As you train, he will sneer and smirk through the observation deck, as if aware of some fatal flaw in your training regimen that is invisible to you. Every time you look up to him, he's answering your latest move with a scoff or a small laugh. Sometimes even an indifferent shrug. And after your big show stopper? A yawn.

Whether you try to approach him or not, Jade Curtiss casually saunters over towards you when you're finally throwing in the towel. He prods his glasses up his nose before assessing you in person, showing every possible visible sign in his face that he is disappointed with your performance.

But he speaks in a casual, almost sing-song manner.]

My, my. Done already? And here I thought this facility was supposed to be used for challenges!

[Voice]

[Jade sits up in bed, impatiently poking at his journal while wearing just his signature bathrobe. It's been a week already since he came here - and since his peers from his world had to endure his tests to prove they were not replicas. Or in some cases, prove they were the same replicas he knew.]

This is Colonel Jade, Third Division, Malkuth Imperial Forces. I've been here a week now, but some matters are still pressing on my mind.

So! Tell me, Luceti. How would you rate the quality of the local hot springs?

[Aren't you an amusing fellow. Well, it's a good thing Coulson makes his living being unassuming and underestimated. Otherwise he'd be annoyed. Instead he is amused.

Phil shrugs, the towel he had grabbed unused in his hands, not a bit of sweat on his brow.]

Or for some light training, it all depends.

[Yeah, him incapacitating down those ten heavily armed hostiles with everyday items was light training. Of course the minute he knew he was being watched he dismissed the time limit he had placed upon himself and instead took as long as he needed to casually take down the enemy.

Enjoy the show?]

Taking it easy, eh? [He smirks. He was fairly impressed by the man's skills- even if in his mind armed humans weren't so dangerous compared to users of artes or monsters.] I imagine I will as well when I reach that age.

[A slight pause.] But I must admit your methods were fairly impressive. Quaint and simplistic means, but... creatively employed. [He liked that bit with tin foil.]

Well, I am recovering. [From what exactly, he doesn't say. Also, he may be lying but it's hard to say if he is or isn't.

When lacking in users of artes and mosnter, armed humans can be pretty dangerous. Also, he hasn't gotten any of his team to program him some Chitauri to fight yet which is a pity.

...Are you calling him old? The faintest of smiles ghost onto Phil's face.] Indeed. Let the younger generation waste their excess energy.

Thank you. [Quaint and simplistic is what he likes best. No ones expects it and it's easier to do than big and flashy.] I'm afraid I'm a bit rusty on some of my techniques, so I wasn't at my best. [Phil makes a play at looking the faintest bit embarrassed.] Three bags of flour is too much to disable someone, and they aren't supposed to be able to scream so much with the tin foil. But I think I pulled off the stapler trick quite well this time. More wrist is the key.

((ooc; This is glorious. I can't stop laughing, my cat has run away from my laughing oh god))

That's what I like to say. [An indifferent wave of his hand.] When I am typically among those younger than me. [It's a break from making jokes/excuses about his own age.]

[But big and flashy is so dramatic and awesome, especially when it's accompanied by shouting out that you're the Necromancer.]

All interesting points to note. You do seem to be making an art of this style, not that it's a bad thing. It only leaves me wondering if you've ever held actual weapons.

(ooc: I'm so glad, I was afraid of not living up to your Jade expectations)
