Solemn Jester
Smiling God of Fools
James Mac Niadh Lane
Ok, maybe James could have handled the test a wee bit better. But he wasn't exactly himself lately. He was much grumpier and seemed to get agitated easier. Which is why he preferred the kind of test that let him rely on his physical abilities more. He had things that he'd rather not think about, and the test had brought up those very thoughts.
James would have felt bad for getting the test taken up. But anyone who was slower than him at taking any kind of test obviously didn't have much chance of passing. But it seemed the others didn't see things that way. As they walked to the locker room James began to contemplate his own answers. In all honesty half of them, he wasn't so sure about himself. He had pondered what he'd do in those situations. But he really couldn't know unless he was placed in them. James wasn't the plan ahead kind of guy. Hell, the only kind of schedule he ever really kept was his work out schedule. Which he had been swapping it with this new training regimen. He wondered what had become of the others. He knew they were still being held prisoner last he saw them. Aside from Lexi, and himself. Last he saw Lexi was taking therapy the Dominion insisted on it. James, on the other hand, had done everything in his power to join up. Passing up any therapy. He preferred to keep the fact he was screwed up to himself. Of course, he didn't expect those who didn't finish their test to be all to happy with James. But he didn't have even half a mind to care about what they wanted. The tiny purple haired woman began saying something to him. Although he was much to distracted to pay her any mind. Although he was snapped out of his daze when she poked his chest. It almost tickled him. He looked down at her a cold scowl resting on his face. One that said he clearly wasn't impressed by her. Suddenly she would find herself lifted into the air by his two massive paws. High enough so that she was staring right into the eyes of James." I'm, sorry. I couldn't hear you all the way down there. Mind repeating that." He asked. His voice showing great levels of restraint. Almost warning, although it was mostly just an act. The worse he'd do is drop her flat on her ass." I'm sorry you couldn't finish your meaningless test. Even if you had finished it. Do you really think it would have made a difference? If you're not decisive enough to make up your mind on a bunch of hypothetical questions. Then how are you going to do in a real situation?" Suddenly James lowered her back down to the ground. Turning back and leaning against a wall glaring down at her."If I'm being honest. I don't think any of us would really do everything we wrote down if put in that situation. But if you want to blame me for your failing go ahead. Hell, I'll probably fail as well. But until I find that out myself I'm going to sit her try to ignore these nagging thoughts on the back of my head. Then hope I somehow managed to pass. Although if teach thinks its so easy I'd hope it won't affect our passing all that much. Now leave me be unless you actually have something useful to say. That goes to all of you" He said his glare moving across the room.
He really didn't see anyone in here he couldn't take if it came to it. Maybe he'd have to worry if they teamed up on him. But even then it wasn't the first time he'd been jumped. Besides, only a few actually managed to be slower than him. Although he seriously doubted it would come down to that. Unless they suddenly decided they wanted to have a battle royal of some sort to decide the graduates. James let out a groan the stress really tensing him up. He took out a pack of his cigarettes and lighted it up taking a long drag before eyeing Justine."On a friendlier note. Want a drag? I'm sure we're all stressed, and I can spare a few. So come on, merry fucking Christmas." He sarcastically put holding a cigarette out to Justine first.
