week 0 - mary - tuesday

[completelycrazy]

[Free money is cool, but it'd be nice if there was better stuff to spend it on. Newt is thoroughly unimpressed with Shibuya's offerings until he wanders into I Glitterally Can't and finds something he forgot he was looking for: Markers.

It takes him a little while to track down Mary (she smol), but he jogs over to her once he does. He's got the markers hidden in his jacket pocket.]

Hey, Mary, got a surprise for you. You up to anything right now?

[Meanwhile Newt rolls down his pantleg because all that tight ass corduroy was definitely cutting off some circulation. Then he pauses too, considering his color options.]

Hm... I like blue too, but let's get some orange and purple in there. Get comfortable, okay? This'll probably take me a little bit. I'm not an expert like you are.

[withsadness]

Okay!

[She's a very good canvas (like, yeah), so she holds still as she settles in with her back to him, ultimately separating her hair down the center and holding it in front of her with two hands.]

I can be patient.

[completelycrazy]

[She is indeed a good canvas, but also a very small one, so it takes Newt a minute to figure out his gameplan before she'll feel the cold press of a marker on the back of her neck. He's just winging this, unfortunately(?) for Mary.

He also doesn't need to work in silence, so he strikes up a totally innocent conversation while he draws.]

So, uh... You heard what that kid Max was saying, right? About how there's a bunch of these "Reapers" among us, apparently? [...] You don't know anything about that, do you?

[#smooth]

[withsadness]

Uh-huh.

[Incredibly smooth.]

I don't...but it sounds pretty scary, doesn't it?

[completelycrazy]

Yeah, I don't either.

[...He's hoping they're on the same page? Maybe?]

It does sound scary, yeah. But I think we'll be safe enough if we just stick together. It's gonna be way harder for Reapers to hurt anyone if we travel in packs, y'know?

[Oh Week 0 Newt, you sweet summer child.]

[withsadness]

[Depends on what the page is, honestly. Who could really say. It's a wild two weeks.]

So if we always always always stay with our friends, there's no way anything bad can happen?

[completelycrazy]

[Uh oh.]

Um... Well, I don't know if I'd say that? But I think sticking together will definitely help us all stay safe, yeah.
