Jason fidgets a bit, not sure how he's supposed to introduce himself to the others when he doesn't speak. Luckily, he spots a familiar device laying out on a nearby table. Voices' vocal translator! Surely the Grey wouldn't mind if he borrowed it for just a few minutes right? Though, even if he did mind, would he really try to square up against him? Jason didn't think so. Voices, for as chaotic and poorly thought out his decisions may be sometimes, did seem to have a decent sense of self-preservation about him. Most of the time, anyway. He picked up the piece of technology and held it to his neck, similar to how Voices would have it bucked there.
When it got close to his neck the device suddenly crackled to life, startling Jason and making him jump. The device let out a deep-voiced "AAA!" Jason looked out to the crowd watching, and they seemed just as spooked as he was about it. Jason began signing his introduction, working on the assumption the device was functioning correctly.
"My name is Jason Voorhees. I came here from my home Crystal Lake. I am here to learn how to make and program robots. That's why I have come to this class again, at least." The voice eminating from the device was far deeper and richer than the one it produced for Voices. Of course, there was still the undercurrent of crackling noise with his words, but it was serving it's purpose. Jason continued on with his introduction, "I hope to be able to create something to help me defend my home from the annoying campers who trespass in the woods and lake of my home." The device's 'voice' for him changed, taking on an even deeper, growling quality to it. It sounded angry and dangerous. Jason was fairly satisfied with this. The device's voice softened slightly with the next words, "I do not really understand machinery or robots, so any help that anyone here has for me would be appreciated. I do not usually speak to or entertain others but for this I will make an exception to the rule as it serves to further my purpose." It made him sound smaller, almost pleading. He wasn't actually sure how he felt about that, though. He continued his introduction, "Many people are afraid of me, and they should be. However, because I need help I would be willing to entertain others for now. Do not make me regret this decision. That said, if you do choose to help me with my project I will make sure that the effort is remembered and rewarded. Otherwise, I simply wish to be left alone. Do not bother me and we will have no issues with each other."
With his introduction finished, Jason put the device back on the table where he'd found it. The light on it dimmed and went out. He returned to his seat in the back of the class - a location he chose in order to try and avoid disturbing too many of the other students. Several Chicoons leaned away from him as he passed, having realized who he was and what he was known for. He was used to that reaction - in fact, it was probably the one he favored most. He'd rather people feared and avoided him than try to attack him or, worse, genuinely try to befriend him. He watched with mild interest as other Chicoons got up to introduce themselves to the class. Most of them he didn't know, thankfully. There were a few familiar faces that he'd seen here or there. Ones that he had no problem with, or had even had previous positive interactions with. It was nice to see that they still existed.
However, there was one specific Chicoon who came up to the spotlight. They were introducing themself to the rest of the class, but for Jason they needed no introduction. He knew that scarred mug anywhere. He had been the one to PUT that scar on that face. That guy. THAT GUY. Jason hated this guy. He was one of the very campers that had intruded upon Jason's home and had wrecked the place when Jason tried to deal with him and his friends! The real stickler, too, was that this Chicoon was the only one who had gotten away. Jason had thought that he'd never see this guy again. He'd HOPED that he'd never see him again. Here they were though. The other Chicoon was staring at him from down in front. His scarred face curled in an unpleasant, threatening smile. Jason could tell he was going to be a problem. He growled, startling the poor Chicoon seated next to him. He barely noticed them scrambling up and out of their spot to go find a new place to sit.
Unfortunately, Jason did not want to be removed from this class, or the university itself. So he wouldn't start anything with that scarred Chicoon, no matter how much he wanted to. He'd do his best to play nice, or at least not actively antagonize Scarface down there. Though, if the other Chicoon really tries to pick a fight, Jason wouldn't resist an opportunity to give him what he'd be asking for. For now though, Jason just turned back to his desk space and unfurled his blueprints. He was just going to review them for today and work on that small robot with Ascii to begin learning the basics.
The work was supposed to be simple enough, but Jason and most complex machinery never got along well. He ended up having to stay a while afterwards with Ascii and Mulch in order to be able to complete the day's assignment. Still, at the end of it all, he felt fairly accomplished and satisfied with the simple little robot he'd made. Sure it only drove in circles, but it was his first robot! He'd made it mostly on his own, too! Acsii and Mulch only had to explain how some of the tools worked and what some of the jargon in the instructions meant to him a few times.
