completelycrazy: no yeah i know that's not how clones work irl (chat • they're clones)
[As soon as Newt is able to catch Caren alone, he taps her on the shoulder and waves for her to follow him into the bookstore. Time for some privacy.

He's too fried from the trial to waste any time. So:]


You asked Max to send a hint to a trustworthy Player about the identity of a Reaper, didn't you?

[This new store is pretty neat for buying stuff, but boy howdy does it make it tough both to find people and to have conversations out of general earshot. Somehow, since you'd think these things would be mutually exclusive.

Newt and Hermann do eventually track Caren down though. Once they do, Newt (sort of gently) grabs her arm and (also sort of gently) drags her over to the nearest clear aisle, not bothering to wait for Hermann.]


Hey, come here for a minute. We need to talk.

[He says, too ominously. Sorry for the spook, Caren.]
completelycrazy: cut out my BEST SCENE (neutral • this is where the editors)
[Newt has... maybe calmed down a little? by the time he runs into Caren. He's standing by the ruins of the toy store in a relative calm, having worked off some of his post-trial jitters. Still too wired to sleep, but he's not climbing the walls anymore, at least.

Caren is one of the few people that doesn't immediately get a snippy accusation when she approaches.]


Good for you sticking to your guns when Undine tried to call you out. That was impressive.
