Whatsamana (Earth Q): fortunately, jack had remembered to take his anti-gravity shoes with him, and was spared an unceremonious splattering
nameless-npc (Generica II): Unfortunately, the shoes malfunctioned the moment he activated them, causing them to explode and leaving bloody stumps where his feet used to be as he continued to plummet toward an untimely demise.
Whatsamana (Earth Q): yeah i think jack's pretty much dead here.
nameless-npc (Generica II): I play to win.
