completelycrazy: cut out my BEST SCENE (neutral • this is where the editors)
[Newt was feeling alright during today's investigation. Someone is dead, yes, and that sucks... That sucks a lot, but at least they didn't have to do another pieces-parts scavenger hunt this time. His group only found a knife this time. It also wasn't someone he knew. So far, he's had the good fortune of not being close to anyone who's died. Is that selfish? Hell yes. But sidestepping the mourning means he can think more clearly. The island will benefit from that.

But... Austria. God. What the hell is he supposed to do with that? She's not even dead yet, just... on a timer. That's somehow worse. He can't imagine how she's feeling right now. Prussia, too. Those two are close, right? Newt hasn't really been able to get a read on their relationship, but they remind him a bit of himself and Hermann. They piss each other off constantly, sure, but if Hermann was stuck here with him and suddenly got sentenced to death for no reason, he'd be... Well, he doesn't want to think about that.

If nothing else, Austria and Prussia came here together, so as soon as he has a free moment after the investigation, he sets out to track down Prussia and, uh... Give her a shoulder to cry on? Or something? He's not sure what his plan is, but he doesn't want her to be alone right now.

He eventually finds her on the beach. He joins her quietly, nudging her arm with his in what he hopes is a comforting gesture. He's trying. He doesn't know what to do here.]


Hey.
completelycrazy: is going straight onto my resume (neutral • "negotiated with crime lords")
[It's Thursday. Someone's going to die tonight. It's getting late, and the last thing Newt wants to do is miss curfew, but he has some time yet. He's trying to not think about the whole impending death thing. Maybe it won't happen. It probably will, but maybe.

For now, he's sitting on the beach, watching the last rays of sunlight disappear into the horizon. He wishes he had his mp3 player, but it's been out of batteries for a few days now. It sucks, but he's still holding out hope that he'll be able to convince Pal to hook him up with some batteries after this week's trial.

In lieu of something better to do with his hands, he's tracing goofy doodles of Kaiju in the sand. This island is kind of boring, honestly.]
