[OPEN] Water wars

[fuhrinkaed]

Who: OPEN: Ed, Susan, any poor souls caught up in the crossfire.
When: 6/10
Where: Caissa
What: A fated showdown, except with water guns
Rating: None

[If you're near the Caissa Center Plaza, you might come upon a pair of heroes who are getting a little bit too into the festivities. Ed and Susan are practicing with water magic by trying to pelt each other with bolts of water while the other tries pelting them right back.]

[Unfortunately, several bystanders may be caught in the crossfire of spells gone awry or simply bad shots or good dodging. Between that and the fountains going off at random--well, everyone's going to be getting a bit wetter before the day's out.]

[She pops out of cover again to fire her own at him.]

I'm not gonna lose to mister 'just put in more ether and keep putting in ether' either, y'know!

[fuhrinkaed]

[He fires his back, and the two bolts collide in midair. It's more a happy accident than any purposeful awesomeness, though.]

And I won't lose to a brazen woman who'd use her own skin as a weapon! Whether it's with a swimsuit or coating herself with poison, the type of weaponry doesn't matter!

[suzinkazan]

That's a pretty bold statement considering how you slow down everytime you even think of it, Ed.

In fact, Maybe I'll just step out into the open to prove it.

[She's making another bolt, and getting ready.]

[fuhrinkaed]

[He prepares one of his own.]

Then do it.

Show me all you've got, and I'll respond by kicking your butt. With water. To the face.

[suzinkazan]

[SHE STEPS OUT, IS ED PREPARED FOR

Her in soaked normal clothing.

And if his face shows the slightest sign of confusion, he's gonna get that bolt pelted in his face.]

[fuhrinkaed]

[His face shows the slightest sign of confusion.]

[And that is a waterbolt to the face.]

Wha--bbppfhthh--!

[suzinkazan]

[... And she's gonna try and pelt him until her mana bottoms out, now.]

[fuhrinkaed]

[He puts his arms in front of his face and weathers it. He remembers his fight alongside Kaito earlier. If he just holds out until she pelts him with enough mana..!]

[suzinkazan]

[She's almost out... but she holds the last bolt, now.]

[fuhrinkaed]

[He looks at her with a grin.]

...Getting tired, Susan?

[suzinkazan]

Well, I WAS soaking you pretty hard, there.

[She is, though.]

[fuhrinkaed]

You were. But I'll soak you better. [And now he counterattacks, firing a bolt back at her.]

Eat this!

[suzinkazan]

[GLUB GLUB

she's getting drenched, her own bolt only stopping one of his.]

[fuhrinkaed]

You're free to give up anytime! [Now that they're in point blank and she's slowed down, he's assuming he can fire off what's left of his own mana.]

[It's not as many bolts, but they're still water bolts.]

[suzinkazan]

[SHE'S JUST GETTING CLOSER SO HE CAN'T FIRE WITHOUT SPLASHING ON HIMSELF.]

[fuhrinkaed]

[WELL HE'LL JUST.]

[WOW BACKING UP WHILE CASTING SPELLS ISN'T NEARLY AS EASY AS IT USED TO BE.]

W-weeh... Just give it up! [And he's starting to run dry, too.]

[suzinkazan]

No way!

If anything you should give up! You already lost!

[fuhrinkaed]

And you used weird mind games that didn't even amount to anything! At least I didn't run myself out of mana this time.

[He gives a short nod, smart enough to have kept a reserve after last time.]

[suzinkazan]

...

...

Ed.

How do you judge the winner of a water fight.

[They're both drenched.]

[fuhrinkaed]

...Now that you mention it, I didn't think that far ahead.

Uh.

Well, it was good practice?

[suzinkazan]

If I had enough energy left to freeze your head, I would.

[fuhrinkaed]

Ahh. Then I guess maybe I should just keep the other thing I found out to myself...

[suzinkazan]

...What?

What did you find out?

[fuhrinkaed]

A way to make the mana restoration process work faster, and give you a second wind if you run out.

[suzinkazan]

...Tell me! I'm not actually gonna freeze your head!
