Not the first to be loopedโฆbut the first to escape.
(Tiny italic text is him thinking words)
It was just another day. Jack was on his motorcycle, driving around. Once again taking a quick stop, he was about to take off his helmet, when suddenly he was rifted away, taken to reality zero, taken to the loop. Unbeknownst to him, his helmet had luckily provided him temporary protection from the loopโs effectsโฆbut it wouldnโt last too long. He ran, unaware that he was now in an endless cycle of slaughter. He had no idea where he was, but he had to figure that out later. He was looking, hoping to see a familiar face. Anyone who could potentially help him get through this.
โGotta find someone who can help me figure out where I am. Then, I gotta figure out a way back homeโฆโ
โHELLO!? ANYONE!?โ
20 minutesโฆ
It was around 5 weeks now since she had that date with Jack. They traded information, and both applied for the Seven Role.
Since then, they had absolutely no reply from them at all. She would text Jack and even call him at times to find out if he got a reply, but nothing.
She was currently doing a paper on her next class report. It was in the middle of the night, so it was quite dark, but she had no idea what was about to happen.
The area would slightly shake in a blue light, lightning shown around the area, she was so into her paper she hadn't noticed the surroundings, then suddenly the blue light reflected on her screen, alerting her on what was happening.
Shocked and confused, she would jump out of her seat and move back, but before she could go anywhere, she was rifted away to a strange place...
"What the ****... where am I? Where's my computer, where is my paper? Oh god, it's due in tomorrow. If I can't finish it, I'm losing points, and I've currently got 100%..."
She was breathing rapidly, and her nerves were literally all over the place. She had to finish that paper. It was so much she would almost pass out.
The day they metโฆ
(OOC Note: if quote text is italic and bold, itโs present day scientist talking. Also- I will leave this open for reblogs I guess, as itโs starting from only scientistโs POV, they wonโt meet until after the first reblog I or someone else does. Dunno how long after though.)
โManโฆI can remember it like it was yesterdayโฆโ
A younger scientist- currently known Jack/Joel (both are part of his name), was speeding around on a motorcycle (imagine the FN rogue bike combined with a regular motorcycle and you have the general look), blasting old rock music as he drove. He was delivering pizzas and papers, and was on his way to the last stop, the local pilot academy/laboratory, when he decided to take a quick stop- mostly to refuel. Once he parked to refuel, he took his helmet off as he got off the bike- which somewhat resembled his helmet for his armor he has now.
โAlrightโฆjust gonna grab a quick snack from the store and continue. Donโt wanna be late for this delivery, considering iโll be scolded, and then late for that thing I had scheduled with my friendsโฆโ
Heading inside the refuel station (sci-fi fuel thing where gasoline isnโt used anymore), heโd head up to the counter, paying for both a snack bar he grabbed, as well as to refuel his bike. Once that was taken care of, and his bike was refueled, he was back on his way. While heading towards the last delivery stop, he sang along to the song he was listening to while driving.
โI see a red door and I want it painted blackโฆno colors anymore, I want them to turn blackโฆI see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes! I have to turn my head- until my darkness goes!โ
A younger Paradigm named Lucy was in her room at the Pilot Academy. She had recently ordered a pizza from her favourite Pizza Place, she wasn't much different to her future self, she looked the same pretty much, just no scars and less muscles, she still worked out casually but she didn't have the Seven fighting experience. She was previously a pilot in the army, but she walked out after her teammate was killed in battle.
It was 3 years since that happened, with medication and help. She tries not to think of that event, but the trauma never leaves.
"Come on, where's that damn pizza ..."
She waited and waitedโ it was only 30 mins after she ordered, but she was pretty inpatient back then. She just sat there and waited.
Lucy had always dreamed of becoming more with her skills as a pilot. She knows for a fact that there's people out there piloting stuff like mechs, and she always wanted to try that,
But she never had a reason or the experience in that regard, so she never got to apply for it.
SUDDENLY...
She heard a bike sound nearby, finally hoping that this was the Pizza she had ordered, she sprung from her seat and waited near the door, unaware that the guy delivering it was someone about to change her entire existence forever...
parking the bike, he would head inside the building, heading for the specific room he had to deliver the pizza to. Headphones still over his ears, heโd hum the music as he walked. He would dodge people in the hallway so he wouldnโt drop the pizza- and of course didnโt drop it.
โAlrightโฆonce I deliver this, I can get to work on those calculationsโฆboring work, but somehow science is my other passion.โ
Finally reaching the hall the room was in, heโd check a sticky note he wrote the specific room number on, before heading up to the door with said number and knocking.
โAlright Jackโฆonce this is done, head right to the lab and get the calculations done, should be easy unless something unexpected happensโฆโ he would say to himself.
Waiting at the door, waiting for that one "KNOCK" on the door, she was very inpatient, she had been waiting 40 mins, the Pizza had better not be cold . . . She was pacing around the door, and then finally, she heard someone coming up to the dorm room.
"FINALLY!"
Then suddenly!
KNOCK !
KNOCK !
KNOCK !
( The other side of the door would sound )
She then finally opened the door to see the pizza delivery guy, wearing a cap and holding the pizza in hand. She instantly forgot that she was mad that he took so long to deliver it, he was kinda a big, buff guy, and she liked big, buff guys, granted there was a lot of buff guys in the academy, tbh she was only 1 of the 2 females who had signed up to be a pilot, the other one dubbed herself as the Singularity, a weird one.
"OH! HI! Is that my pizza? Was there a lot of traffic??"
She had said in a different tone than she normally did. She had tried not to completely embarrass herself in that particular moment. She didn't want to scare the Pizza Guy off...
After seeing the door open, heโd stop playing his music pull his headphones down around his neck.
โYeah- Although I did make a stop to refuel and grab a snack- been at this job for hours- donโt worry, the pizzaโs in one piece- unless you count the slices as different pieces.โ
He joked as he handed over the pizza, mostly to hide how nervous he was. He may have been a big fella, but deep down, he was a softie. He was also trying not to embarrass himself and make this awkward.
โSo uhโฆthatโll be aroundโฆ[INSERT PIZZA PRICE HERE BECAUSE IDK], I think.โ
From there he just tried to hide the fact he was nervous, VERY nervous. He stood there with an awkward expression on his face- one that was effectively the universal face of the words 'please donโt notice iโm nervous.'
Yep! They were both nervous. And it definitely showed, it was like some kind of spark hit, but she was a little bit easily distracted by the time and noticed she was nearly late for class, that's what happens when your pizza guy is late, she guesses... She then grabbed the box and placed it on the side...
"Sorry, I didn't mean to seem like a nervous mess, but I have class right about now, so I gotta get going, maybe...
we can when you're off work, eat the pizza together? I'm not doing anything after my lesson..."
She said in a quiet and ambitious tone, pointing her fingers together as she walked out of the door past the big male. Grabbing her key card and putting on a jacket that resembles his biker jacket.
"8pm? Is that a good time for you?"
She didn't really stay around for him to answer. She was just hoping he would comply with the invite. She was already late, so she quickly dashed off. She also gave the amount in cash and placed it on his chest as she passed him.
โI- uh- okayโฆwellโฆuhโฆguess I should head to the lab now. Gotta get those calculations doneโฆat least itโs nearby.โ
Heading outside, hems walk to his bike, taking it over to the parking lot of the laboratory- which, as scientist said, wasnโt too far. (Whether or not itโs connected to the pilot academy (for mainly plot reasons but is considered a separate building is up to you). Scanning his ID, heโd head inside, going right towards the main lab.
โAlrightโฆnow, to get the calculations done. Iโll probably need a lot of coffee after thisโฆโ
he said, swapping his biker jacket out for a lab coat a she reached the main lab.
โโฆAnd I just hope my supervisor doesnโt make me examine experiments, iโm already way behind on these calculations because of stuff like thatโฆโ
It was a few hours later after the parted ways, she had just finished her day at the academy, it was tiring but she was glad to be out, and it was the start of a week off so she didn't have any classes left for the week. So, she was obviously relieved. The whole time she was in class, she wondered if that Pizza Delivery guy would even show up tonight...
"Better go have a shower before he supposedly arrives, if he does. This isn't a date, this isn't a date...this isn't a date..."
She was already getting nervous. She hadn't met someone before and definitely not someone who was as interesting as he was. She made it back to her dorm and headed into the shower,
She made sure she was all presentable. But she did keep the TV on cause apparently some weird storms were sighted, some purple storms so it could seem to be a problem if it hits.
She was now waiting for his arrival.
Rushing to her room, he barely had time to switch into his usual biker jacket, and was even pushing through people.
โCrap- I hope iโm not too late!โ
As he ran, he would brush his hair, before finally reaching the door and taking a few deep breaths. Once he was ready, heโd talk to himself before knocking on the door.
โAlright Jack, just another day, right? Nothing out of the ordinary except for this entire situationโฆโ
He was trying to keep his coolโฆand failing. He just hoped she didnโt see him as an absolute nervous wreck. He hadnโt met anyone like herโฆlet alone anyone at all. He was far more nervous than he ever had been before.
Dates were simple. They should be. That's the idea of them, meet someone, get to know them, and then see how it goes. She's had dates before, they ... sorta ... worked out, not good, but she always knew she'd meet the right person one day, and this could be it ...
What's wrong with her? This was not the time to lose it. She's a pilot for gods shake. She's a PILOT,
A fighter, that's who she is.
She knew he was right outside her dorm room. She wore a tomboyish shirt, she wasn't the feminine type to wear dresses, this was just a causal meet-up between two people, two people who barely know each other ... although she noticed on his bike as she was heading to class that he was some sort of scientist ...
She then went over to her dorm door and opened it to reveal the male in his jacket. She didn't expect him to just look NORMAL.
"Ahem, you made it! Welcome!"
โHeyโฆI didnโt really have much time to prepare. Got dragged into a bunch of stuff at the lab. Soโฆuhโฆโฆโ he paused. โโฆActually, IโฆI canโt think of anything to say.โ
He now had an awkward expression on his face, and was disappointed in himself. Aside from the biker jacket- which had a bunch of different pins and some patches on it, the identifying features of his look was a Metallica shirt, and his hair was in the style of a mullet- which was a tad bit more noticeable now without the hat that was part of his uniform.
โDumb question considering why iโm here right now, but uhโฆcan I head inside orโฆโ
โฆHe had no idea what he was doing. He was nervous to high hell and it was getting hard to hide that fact. Now, he just stood there, an awkward smile on his face, which faded into a different awkward expression.
"Yes! Right, of course. Come on in!"
She moved aside so the guy could enter her dorm room. It wasn't the tidiest place of all dorms, but it wasn't messy, so it should be fine ... right โ๏ธ
"Sorry about the mess, I had a party last night, and it wasn't exactly tidied up properly. it shouldn't be an issue, though. I've got alcohol in the fridge, so help yourself ...
How's the science thing going?"
She actually picked some stuff up from the couch so he would be able to sit down, she hopes that he didn't think she's a slob.
โItโs been going good, got my own projects outside of work- and donโt worry about the mess. I may not be too social, but with the friends I do haveโฆthings tend to get out of hand really quick. Iโm still figuring out how they managed to get a pizza stuck to the ceilingโฆโ
He chuckled a bit as he remembered the day.
โSo uhโฆhowโs your pilot stuff going?โ
He would ask, not really knowing what else to say at this point.
"My...pilot stuff? Well,
I haven't really piloted something in a while. It's mostly just classes and all that. I'm actually interested in joining this new organisation, they're looking for new members, it's called The Seven, they're looking for a pilot."
She pulled out a flyer from her table and showed it to him. It's funny how they're also looking for an experienced scientist, something he's also mentioned he does. It might be something worth looking into.
"It's a big deal, apparently. They work on multiverseal travel, but they're mostly at war with another organisation called The Imagined Order. Nothing else really is said."
She went into her fridge and pulled out two bottles of beer and passed one over to him before opening her own bottle and taking a drink of hers.
Taking the bottle of beer that was handed to him , heโd stare at the flyer out of interest as he opened and took a drink from the bottle. I mean, multiversal travel? Sounded interestingโฆespecially for a scientist.
โHuhโฆsure as hellโs intriguing. I mean, given what they do, iโm surprised they need a scientist. And with the ideas I already have in my headโฆhmโฆI mean- not to mention this isโฆoddly specific.โ
He said, bringing his hand to his chin as he thought a moment. It feltโฆtoo convenient that both a pilot and scientist were needed.
โNot to mention this is the first iโm hearing of either groupโฆalthough I guess that can be explained by me not doing too much. I feel like I should look into these groups before I make a decision like thisโฆโ
He said, taking another sip from his drink as he thought about the situation at hand.
"It was a private invitation, not many people know about it, it's a new futuristic programme that I just need to take part in... it's my dream to be a famous pilot one day,
And this must be it."
She drunk again from her beer and then placed it on the table and put her legs up.
"It's a stretch cause they want mech pilots, and I have experience in mechanical things, but I need someone to help me with building mechs. Naybe you could help me with that?
Like I said it's a stretchโ"
She didn't know many people who were scientific in nature, and honestly, this seems ore of a headache cause she literally invited in a group that would later result in his apparent demise. But they didn't know that at the time.
2nd December, 8pm. Witness a new beginning for Fortnite. The official Chapter 4 Finale Event, The Big Bang!

But she never had a reason or the experience in that regard, so she never got to apply for it.
SUDDENLY...
She heard a bike sound nearby, finally hoping that this was the Pizza she had ordered, she sprung from her seat and waited near the door, unaware that the guy delivering it was someone about to change her entire existence forever...
parking the bike, he would head inside the building, heading for the specific room he had to deliver the pizza to. Headphones still over his ears, heโd hum the music as he walked. He would dodge people in the hallway so he wouldnโt drop the pizza- and of course didnโt drop it.
โAlrightโฆonce I deliver this, I can get to work on those calculationsโฆboring work, but somehow science is my other passion.โ
Finally reaching the hall the room was in, heโd check a sticky note he wrote the specific room number on, before heading up to the door with said number and knocking.
โAlright Jackโฆonce this is done, head right to the lab and get the calculations done, should be easy unless something unexpected happensโฆโ he would say to himself.
Waiting at the door, waiting for that one "KNOCK" on the door, she was very inpatient, she had been waiting 40 mins, the Pizza had better not be cold . . . She was pacing around the door, and then finally, she heard someone coming up to the dorm room.
"FINALLY!"
Then suddenly!
KNOCK !
KNOCK !
KNOCK !
( The other side of the door would sound )
She then finally opened the door to see the pizza delivery guy, wearing a cap and holding the pizza in hand. She instantly forgot that she was mad that he took so long to deliver it, he was kinda a big, buff guy, and she liked big, buff guys, granted there was a lot of buff guys in the academy, tbh she was only 1 of the 2 females who had signed up to be a pilot, the other one dubbed herself as the Singularity, a weird one.
"OH! HI! Is that my pizza? Was there a lot of traffic??"
She had said in a different tone than she normally did. She had tried not to completely embarrass herself in that particular moment. She didn't want to scare the Pizza Guy off...
After seeing the door open, heโd stop playing his music pull his headphones down around his neck.
โYeah- Although I did make a stop to refuel and grab a snack- been at this job for hours- donโt worry, the pizzaโs in one piece- unless you count the slices as different pieces.โ
He joked as he handed over the pizza, mostly to hide how nervous he was. He may have been a big fella, but deep down, he was a softie. He was also trying not to embarrass himself and make this awkward.
โSo uhโฆthatโll be aroundโฆ[INSERT PIZZA PRICE HERE BECAUSE IDK], I think.โ
From there he just tried to hide the fact he was nervous, VERY nervous. He stood there with an awkward expression on his face- one that was effectively the universal face of the words 'please donโt notice iโm nervous.'
Yep! They were both nervous. And it definitely showed, it was like some kind of spark hit, but she was a little bit easily distracted by the time and noticed she was nearly late for class, that's what happens when your pizza guy is late, she guesses... She then grabbed the box and placed it on the side...
"Sorry, I didn't mean to seem like a nervous mess, but I have class right about now, so I gotta get going, maybe...
we can when you're off work, eat the pizza together? I'm not doing anything after my lesson..."
She said in a quiet and ambitious tone, pointing her fingers together as she walked out of the door past the big male. Grabbing her key card and putting on a jacket that resembles his biker jacket.
"8pm? Is that a good time for you?"
She didn't really stay around for him to answer. She was just hoping he would comply with the invite. She was already late, so she quickly dashed off. She also gave the amount in cash and placed it on his chest as she passed him.
โI- uh- okayโฆwellโฆuhโฆguess I should head to the lab now. Gotta get those calculations doneโฆat least itโs nearby.โ
Heading outside, hems walk to his bike, taking it over to the parking lot of the laboratory- which, as scientist said, wasnโt too far. (Whether or not itโs connected to the pilot academy (for mainly plot reasons but is considered a separate building is up to you). Scanning his ID, heโd head inside, going right towards the main lab.
โAlrightโฆnow, to get the calculations done. Iโll probably need a lot of coffee after thisโฆโ
he said, swapping his biker jacket out for a lab coat a she reached the main lab.
โโฆAnd I just hope my supervisor doesnโt make me examine experiments, iโm already way behind on these calculations because of stuff like thatโฆโ
It was a few hours later after the parted ways, she had just finished her day at the academy, it was tiring but she was glad to be out, and it was the start of a week off so she didn't have any classes left for the week. So, she was obviously relieved. The whole time she was in class, she wondered if that Pizza Delivery guy would even show up tonight...
"Better go have a shower before he supposedly arrives, if he does. This isn't a date, this isn't a date...this isn't a date..."
She was already getting nervous. She hadn't met someone before and definitely not someone who was as interesting as he was. She made it back to her dorm and headed into the shower,
She made sure she was all presentable. But she did keep the TV on cause apparently some weird storms were sighted, some purple storms so it could seem to be a problem if it hits.
She was now waiting for his arrival.
Rushing to her room, he barely had time to switch into his usual biker jacket, and was even pushing through people.
โCrap- I hope iโm not too late!โ
As he ran, he would brush his hair, before finally reaching the door and taking a few deep breaths. Once he was ready, heโd talk to himself before knocking on the door.
โAlright Jack, just another day, right? Nothing out of the ordinary except for this entire situationโฆโ
He was trying to keep his coolโฆand failing. He just hoped she didnโt see him as an absolute nervous wreck. He hadnโt met anyone like herโฆlet alone anyone at all. He was far more nervous than he ever had been before.
Dates were simple. They should be. That's the idea of them, meet someone, get to know them, and then see how it goes. She's had dates before, they ... sorta ... worked out, not good, but she always knew she'd meet the right person one day, and this could be it ...
What's wrong with her? This was not the time to lose it. She's a pilot for gods shake. She's a PILOT,
A fighter, that's who she is.
She knew he was right outside her dorm room. She wore a tomboyish shirt, she wasn't the feminine type to wear dresses, this was just a causal meet-up between two people, two people who barely know each other ... although she noticed on his bike as she was heading to class that he was some sort of scientist ...
She then went over to her dorm door and opened it to reveal the male in his jacket. She didn't expect him to just look NORMAL.
"Ahem, you made it! Welcome!"
โHeyโฆI didnโt really have much time to prepare. Got dragged into a bunch of stuff at the lab. Soโฆuhโฆโฆโ he paused. โโฆActually, IโฆI canโt think of anything to say.โ
He now had an awkward expression on his face, and was disappointed in himself. Aside from the biker jacket- which had a bunch of different pins and some patches on it, the identifying features of his look was a Metallica shirt, and his hair was in the style of a mullet- which was a tad bit more noticeable now without the hat that was part of his uniform.
โDumb question considering why iโm here right now, but uhโฆcan I head inside orโฆโ
โฆHe had no idea what he was doing. He was nervous to high hell and it was getting hard to hide that fact. Now, he just stood there, an awkward smile on his face, which faded into a different awkward expression.
"Yes! Right, of course. Come on in!"
She moved aside so the guy could enter her dorm room. It wasn't the tidiest place of all dorms, but it wasn't messy, so it should be fine ... right โ๏ธ
"Sorry about the mess, I had a party last night, and it wasn't exactly tidied up properly. it shouldn't be an issue, though. I've got alcohol in the fridge, so help yourself ...
How's the science thing going?"
She actually picked some stuff up from the couch so he would be able to sit down, she hopes that he didn't think she's a slob.
The day they metโฆ
(OOC Note: if quote text is italic and bold, itโs present day scientist talking. Also- I will leave this open for reblogs I guess, as itโs starting from only scientistโs POV, they wonโt meet until after the first reblog I or someone else does. Dunno how long after though.)
โManโฆI can remember it like it was yesterdayโฆโ
A younger scientist- currently known Jack/Joel (both are part of his name), was speeding around on a motorcycle (imagine the FN rogue bike combined with a regular motorcycle and you have the general look), blasting old rock music as he drove. He was delivering pizzas and papers, and was on his way to the last stop, the local pilot academy/laboratory, when he decided to take a quick stop- mostly to refuel. Once he parked to refuel, he took his helmet off as he got off the bike- which somewhat resembled his helmet for his armor he has now.
โAlrightโฆjust gonna grab a quick snack from the store and continue. Donโt wanna be late for this delivery, considering iโll be scolded, and then late for that thing I had scheduled with my friendsโฆโ
Heading inside the refuel station (sci-fi fuel thing where gasoline isnโt used anymore), heโd head up to the counter, paying for both a snack bar he grabbed, as well as to refuel his bike. Once that was taken care of, and his bike was refueled, he was back on his way. While heading towards the last delivery stop, he sang along to the song he was listening to while driving.
โI see a red door and I want it painted blackโฆno colors anymore, I want them to turn blackโฆI see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes! I have to turn my head- until my darkness goes!โ
A younger Paradigm named Lucy was in her room at the Pilot Academy. She had recently ordered a pizza from her favourite Pizza Place, she wasn't much different to her future self, she looked the same pretty much, just no scars and less muscles, she still worked out casually but she didn't have the Seven fighting experience. She was previously a pilot in the army, but she walked out after her teammate was killed in battle.
It was 3 years since that happened, with medication and help. She tries not to think of that event, but the trauma never leaves.
"Come on, where's that damn pizza ..."
She waited and waitedโ it was only 30 mins after she ordered, but she was pretty inpatient back then. She just sat there and waited.

She didn't really stay around for him to answer. She was just hoping he would comply with the invite. She was already late, so she quickly dashed off. She also gave the amount in cash and placed it on his chest as she passed him.
The day they metโฆ
(OOC Note: if quote text is italic and bold, itโs present day scientist talking. Also- I will leave this open for reblogs I guess, as itโs starting from only scientistโs POV, they wonโt meet until after the first reblog I or someone else does. Dunno how long after though.)
โManโฆI can remember it like it was yesterdayโฆโ
A younger scientist- currently known Jack/Joel (both are part of his name), was speeding around on a motorcycle (imagine the FN rogue bike combined with a regular motorcycle and you have the general look), blasting old rock music as he drove. He was delivering pizzas and papers, and was on his way to the last stop, the local pilot academy/laboratory, when he decided to take a quick stop- mostly to refuel. Once he parked to refuel, he took his helmet off as he got off the bike- which somewhat resembled his helmet for his armor he has now.
โAlrightโฆjust gonna grab a quick snack from the store and continue. Donโt wanna be late for this delivery, considering iโll be scolded, and then late for that thing I had scheduled with my friendsโฆโ
Heading inside the refuel station (sci-fi fuel thing where gasoline isnโt used anymore), heโd head up to the counter, paying for both a snack bar he grabbed, as well as to refuel his bike. Once that was taken care of, and his bike was refueled, he was back on his way. While heading towards the last delivery stop, he sang along to the song he was listening to while driving.
โI see a red door and I want it painted blackโฆno colors anymore, I want them to turn blackโฆI see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes! I have to turn my head- until my darkness goes!โ
A younger Paradigm named Lucy was in her room at the Pilot Academy. She had recently ordered a pizza from her favourite Pizza Place, she wasn't much different to her future self, she looked the same pretty much, just no scars and less muscles, she still worked out casually but she didn't have the Seven fighting experience. She was previously a pilot in the army, but she walked out after her teammate was killed in battle.
It was 3 years since that happened, with medication and help. She tries not to think of that event, but the trauma never leaves.
"Come on, where's that damn pizza ..."
She waited and waitedโ it was only 30 mins after she ordered, but she was pretty inpatient back then. She just sat there and waited.
Lucy had always dreamed of becoming more with her skills as a pilot. She knows for a fact that there's people out there piloting stuff like mechs, and she always wanted to try that,
But she never had a reason or the experience in that regard, so she never got to apply for it.
SUDDENLY...
She heard a bike sound nearby, finally hoping that this was the Pizza she had ordered, she sprung from her seat and waited near the door, unaware that the guy delivering it was someone about to change her entire existence forever...
parking the bike, he would head inside the building, heading for the specific room he had to deliver the pizza to. Headphones still over his ears, heโd hum the music as he walked. He would dodge people in the hallway so he wouldnโt drop the pizza- and of course didnโt drop it.
โAlrightโฆonce I deliver this, I can get to work on those calculationsโฆboring work, but somehow science is my other passion.โ
Finally reaching the hall the room was in, heโd check a sticky note he wrote the specific room number on, before heading up to the door with said number and knocking.
โAlright Jackโฆonce this is done, head right to the lab and get the calculations done, should be easy unless something unexpected happensโฆโ he would say to himself.
Waiting at the door, waiting for that one "KNOCK" on the door, she was very inpatient, she had been waiting 40 mins, the Pizza had better not be cold . . . She was pacing around the door, and then finally, she heard someone coming up to the dorm room.
"FINALLY!"
Then suddenly!
KNOCK !
KNOCK !
KNOCK !
( The other side of the door would sound )
She then finally opened the door to see the pizza delivery guy, wearing a cap and holding the pizza in hand. She instantly forgot that she was mad that he took so long to deliver it, he was kinda a big, buff guy, and she liked big, buff guys, granted there was a lot of buff guys in the academy, tbh she was only 1 of the 2 females who had signed up to be a pilot, the other one dubbed herself as the Singularity, a weird one.
"OH! HI! Is that my pizza? Was there a lot of traffic??"
She had said in a different tone than she normally did. She had tried not to completely embarrass herself in that particular moment. She didn't want to scare the Pizza Guy off...
