[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'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!

[fuhrinkaed]

You hold hands.

[suzinkazan]

[That's lewd, Ed.]

...You're joking.

[fuhrinkaed]

Nope. I got ambushed the other day, and spent all my mana dealing with the attack. Kaito showed me how it works.

[suzinkazan]

....Just hand holding.

Nothing else?

[fuhrinkaed]

Technically, it's 'contact with another hero.'

But yeah, hand holding.

[suzinkazan]

..Fine.

You may hold my hand.

[fuhrinkaed]

Alright then.

[HAND: HELD. Enjoy that mana exchange, Susan.]

But just until we both recover some.

[suzinkazan]

R-right.

Of course.

[She's so upset he's so thick in this regard.]
