completelycrazy: doesn't seem to be working (awk • our death ray)
[Newt tracks down Mary as soon as he can after the trial. They, uh, sure have some things to talk about, huh!

He finds her at the kotatsu in the greenhouse. This isn't all the private, but... Whatever? It probably doesn't matter at this point. Everyone's just kind of milling around, anyway.]


Hey. [He sits down next to her and gestures at her back.] I like your wings.
completelycrazy: raaaaaalleiigghgghhhehehhgh (feel)
[Newt has to search for Mary for a long time before he's able to track her down. It's worrying, how good she is at hiding. And she is hiding, right? Nothing, like, happened to her...?

But then he does find her, finally. She's sitting under a clothing rack in Pegaso. He almost missed her, but he heard the sniffling just as he was about to leave.

He plops down on the ground in front of the rack, peeking through the long dresses hanging down around her. This would be a cute little fort if circumstances were different.]


Um... Do you want to talk about it?

[He is not good at this.]
completelycrazy: from garbage and drift with a kaiju (sad • time 2 create a neural bridge)
[Newt makes himself scarce after the execution. He ducked out as soon as it was over, and it's not until a few hours later that he turns up again. He's hiding in the comic shop, sitting on the floor in one of the more out-of-the-way aisles, turning his tape recorder over in his hands. Well, in one hand. His left hand can't seem to grip it quite right, and his palm is wrapped tightly in black fabric. He's looking a little pale, too.

Hm! Weird!]
completelycrazy: anyway so knifehead breached in 2020 (chat • no no i'm not done)
[In retrospect, Newt should've checked the yarn area first. It's not as Mary-aesthetic as a craft store, but it's like, craft store adjacent. And anyway, here she is, hanging out in yarn heaven. Cool.]

Found her. [He waves Hermann over with his free hand, and then heads down the aisle to meet her.]

Hey, Mary. You busy? I've got a present for you.

[Newt opens up the bundled up jacket he's been carrying around in one arm. It has a metric fuckload of temporary tattoos in it. He's got a stupid expectant grin on his face. Let's match??

Also Hermann is here.]

[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?
