[ Jack has only half a moment to squint, confused at the sudden smile, before the floor drops out from beneath him and he plunges into darkness with a shout. Even if anyone heard him in the crowded room, the noise was quickly swallowed up and cut off.
He stumbles from the shadows beneath the outside eaves of the building a moment later, fumbling his balance and ultimately falling on his back as the pull of gravity abruptly switches directions on him.
There's a moment of initial shock where he lays there, trying to process what just happened. Then, recovering, he rolls to his feet - out of the shadows, into the light - and fires off a warning shot, a splintering bolt of cold lightning bright blue in the morning air. ]
Yeah, capable of messing you up pretty good if you try to lay a finger on it. [ His grip on his staff tightens, and though the many shadows lurk on the wall in front of him he turns halfway to look behind him, eyes searching out (but not finding) the Boogeyman. ] You're just afraid I'm gonna throw a wrench in whatever it is you have planned. Which I am, so you should be.
