Please disregard. Situation is contained.

[ It's not that Angel isn't used to Jack not respecting her bounders in any shape or form (though she had noticed he was less persistent then usual) but something about this seems...off. Keysmash aside, it's just a feeling. ]

Jack?

< H.Jack69 >

[thedifferencebetween]

There is no cause to be alarmed. Distressing news caused organic components to become unstable. Organic components are currently overridden.

To put it in colloquial terms, my emotional center needed a 'time out'.

[ While she's aware that Jack's brain is part computer, she's never encountered it doing something like this, at first she wonders if it's even really him but quickly puts that aside as an impossibility. ]

...Your processors shut down to avoid overheating. Why.

< H.Jack69 >

[thedifferencebetween]

My processors are fine. Systems running at optimal conditions. My organic components are, as you are aware, volatile and potentially dangerous when allowed control. Self preservation protocols require overriding organic components if risk of dangerous responses and actions appear likely.

I have lost my romantic partner. It is an unfortunate circumstance. I had significant emotional investment.

<4N631>

[girlcorrupted]

[ That is....concerning. That Jack has gone into some kind of emotionless override completely uncharted territory for Angel. Jack's moodswings were at least predictable in their unpredictability, and his anger manageable, for the most part.

Then she gets the second part of the message and- Oh my god...did she...? ]


I am so sorry to hear that Harley has broken up with you, Jack.


[ She is elated. ]

< H.Jack69 >

[thedifferencebetween]

There was no parting. She is gone.

The timing is not ideal. Just before we had exchanged our desire for a romantic relationship, circumstances I had been hoping would develop for many months. The upset was too great. I cannot afford to be emotionally compromised to this level.

Emotional components will be returned when it is safer. If you have concerns they are unneeded.

<4N631>

[ Oh, Angel hates this. Not just the unfortunate news that Harely had left all together (she didn't like the woman, but she respected her somewhat, and knew she was a good barrier between herself and Jack at least to an extent) but Jack speaking so calmly is him at his most frightening. There was always calm before the storm, and she was about to be caught in a torrential downpour. ]

That is unfortunate.

[ Also TMI ]

Do you have an estimation for when your emotions will be back online?

< H.Jack69 >

[thedifferencebetween]

Undetermined. Whenever I have calmed down sufficiently. I apologize for whatever inconvenience this causes you.

Would you like to watch a movie? Proximity of loved ones sometimes expediates the process.

<4N631>

[girlcorrupted]

[ The mention of movie night hurts, reminds her of the alternate world where they actually had an okay relationship. A world where Jack hadn't made decisions he'd never be able to make up to her. ]

I would not want to watch a movie with you regardless of your emotional state.

< H.Jack69 >

[thedifferencebetween]

It is your choice, if objectively disappointing. But I have no state of emotions currently, I am not upset by your refusal.

The most logical course of action is to leave organic components dormant but I will not allow myself to.

[girlcorrupted]

Since when have I ever had a choice when it comes to you?

< H.Jack69 >

[thedifferencebetween]

There is no logic in forcing my time on you. Emotional components confuse that logic. My emotions towards you are very strong.

My emotions in general are very strong.

<4N631>

[girlcorrupted]

I am highly aware. You will find time to make up for their absence when they return, I'm sure.

< H.Jack69 >

[thedifferencebetween]

An assumption based in your own emotional components.

We are not as unalike as you believe.

[girlcorrupted]

We are NOTHING alike.

[ Despite the fact that Angel is back here in the first place because of her belief that she is Bad like him. ]

Any part of my being that reflects yours is because you made me this way.
