week 2 - undine - saturday, post-trial

[completelycrazy]

[Newt! is! trying to burn off some nervous energy by doing laps around Shibuya!! It's not going well!

Because, wow, that trial was upsetting. They've all been upsetting, but this one really takes the cake. So he's not exactly in the mood for a conversation when he runs into Undine, but, well. Here they are.]

So are you still prioritizing #NotAllReapers or what?

[He's pissy.]

[Sobs is she really that obvious.]

It was something Sylvia had mentioned, back when we were alive. But I guess it's not possible, I've been at it for a while and I think I just made the wall wet.

And I probably could drown someone, but I'd rather not. I don't want to kill anyone, just stop them if they're trying to kill me. That was my thought with the water: if I could make it strong enough of a hit to sting at least, maybe it would startle them.

[completelycrazy]

Well, the drowning could be temporary. Just a distraction. You wouldn't have to follow through, just... Hold 'em hostage long enough to get away. But, hm. [He's thinking. It feels nice to put his smarts toward something more mundane than solving murders...]

A well-aimed spurt of water can do some damage. Like, one of those jets, but straight in the eyes? That'd stun anyone. Can you change the temperature of the water? That'd do the trick, too.

[alchemicalwater]

I don't think I can change the temperature of water, but I can move water that's already hot.

[She's tried that in the bath before.]

Maybe I'll just carry a cup of coffee with me everywhere.

[That gets a chuckle out of him.]

Hey, there you go. With that kind of creativity, you should be just fine if anyone comes after you.
