[692]Wow. The awesomeness of jumping down stairs is offset by the creepiness of that smile.

Wonderful! I'm really looking forward to this. Love the art and the more 'outlined' crowd.
Also: Kat seems older to me now.

I predict Jack will use Annie to get out of a tight spot. Like hiding behind her from some other boys who are coming after him because he did something to set them off.

Parkour skills, it looks like.
I thought it sounded more like a teacher. Someone who expects a student to do as they say, you know?

Jack: He clearly has ninja skills. would you mean the type of ninja that flips out and kills everyone in a room, or the kind that stars in 90's family movies with 3 precocious ninja kids saving a theme park from terrorists? Where the ninja need night-vision goggles? Starring perhaps Hulk Hogan? I'm kinda inclined to think the latter more than the former. |

With that smile, he probably wants to be the former, but will end up being the enemy of the latter--a ninja whose evil extends to taking candy from babies and making Evil Monologues in the middle of a shopping mall before throwing a smoke bomb and deftly tripping on his shoelaces into the air ducts. I think he's trying to give Coyote a run for his money in the "creepy smile" department, though. |

Wow, Mr Pitchfork. That didn't take long. Give Jack a chance  He could be really evil if he tried. He's been practicing hurting people's feelings for ages now. |

I hope we see Reynardine soon. It's been about three chapters since he's made an appearance (I think since the start of the camping chapter), and I don't see him in Annie's bag. I really want her to ask him some questions or at least hear from him!

Perhaps Jack is running from some security bots like the kind we saw back when Annie grabbed Robot's CPU? If he was running from a teacher, I imagine he'd be in a heck of a lot more trouble than it would be worth to run from them, whereas those robots aren't to much trouble at all if you can get away from them.

If I'm not mistaken, Jack's has quite a few bandages on his fingers. Wonder where he got them or if they're relevant.

The speech bubbles aren't angular, so I'm pretty sure it's not robots. I wonder if Jack is in danger of being moved to Chester. Have the faculty noticed that he's... uh 'etherically challenged'? Which brings up the question (again) about which criteria is used to divide the students into houses :/ |

Parkour skills, it looks like. Anyone with parkour (or ninja) skills wouldn't have fallen. Besides, what, no one else here has ever jumped down a set of 5 stairs? Let's not all rush to ascribe Jack all these mad skillz just because he's the badass-du-jour. Sorry, I'm just not in the Jack-worship camp. |

I am interested in how all of the students that are not Antimony, Katerina, Jack are all blue grey. Perhaps to show that they are not important and will never be important?

That's my boy! The speech bubbles aren't angular, so I'm pretty sure it's not robots. Key point. Which is too bad, because after jumping down those stairs he'd be home free. |

Let's not all rush to ascribe Jack all these mad skillz just because he's the badass-du-jour. Sorry, I'm just not in the Jack-worship camp. It at least looks more like parkour than ninja skills. From the way his feet are together, mostly. That's not how I'd jump down a flight of stairs, if for some reason I decided to do that. I'm not saying he's a super-badass who's going to start re-enacting that scene from Casino Royale. Besides, isn't saying people who bounce around like loons for fun never fall over a bit off? If you're going to stick me in the Jack-worship camp, I'm going to stick you in the free-runner-worship camp, so there.  |

Wow, jumping directly into the action, are we?
Also, there are clearly more than one person after him (otherwise they wouldn't say "This way!"), so students more likely? Because if it was teachers, surely Eglamore would be one of them and then he would certainly haven't escaped :3
Also, Jack looks a bit worse every time we see him.

Besides, isn't saying people who bounce around like loons for fun never fall over a bit off? Yes. Fortunately though, no one said that. Hopping down a simple quarter-flight of 5 stairs isn't anything special though... for anyone. I'm not a parkour by any means but I'd jump down 5 steps. The thing that I'm addressing is that I don't think merely seeing someone attempt to jump down 5 steps would be enough to label them as having mad parkour skills for even trying it... much less if they can't stick the landing. It would be akin to witnessing someone making a sliding turn while trying to get away from the police, and concluding they must be a trained stunt driver. My response wasn't aimed at you specifically. Plus, that doesn't even make sense, considering I'm arguing -against- calling every deft move (or not so deft in Jack's case) "parkour". |

I thought it was robots, but then it is true that they don't have robot speech bubbles. So now I am going with a gang of kids after him. Maybe he is hoping Annie will mediate the situation!
Also I didn't notice the bandages at first, nice catch from those who spotted them. I love little details like that!
