[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.]

...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.]

[fuhrinkaed]

Mmn.

Sorry. I know it's probably a little embarrassing to have to do stuff like this just because our mana pool's run low... but I promise this'll fix you and me both right up.

[suzinkazan]

It's not THAT embarrassing.

[She thinks it's fine!

Secretly.]

[fuhrinkaed]

O-oh... yeah.

I bet you hold hands with people all the time, right? Sorry. Eheh... well, it'd be a little embarrassing back on Earth.

[suzinkazan]

You're the first non-relative I've ever held hands with.

[fuhrinkaed]

Wait--really? [He tilts his head to the side.]

But... Huh, I could have sworn you'd have held hands with other people sometime.

[suzinkazan]

...What do you think people do all the time in Endymion, Ed?

[She's extremely exasperated already.]

[fuhrinkaed]

I don't think--I've seen it plenty! Lots of people go around holding hands and having fun in groups of friends and stuff! It's perfectly normal in Endemiyon! Especially on weekends or after class lets out. Or when there's a big event going on. [Nodnod.]

It makes sense, too, that way nobody gets separated in the huge crowds there are sometimes.

[suzinkazan]

Well, I don't.

You're the first.

Feel lucky.

[She huffs, a little bit.]

[fuhrinkaed]

Okay then. [He smiles, squeezing her hand a little bit.]

I seem to hold hands with a lot of people sometimes, but yours is defintely a good hand to hold.

It's... Comfy. [Ed why are you trying to reassure the tsundere.]

[suzinkazan]

H-hmph. Well.

At least you have some taste. [She's so annoyed, she gets so annoyed by him, it bothers her SO MUCH.]

[fuhrinkaed]

I have plenty of taste! All five of the basic taste groups, even.

[He grins.]

Nah, I'm just kidding. I know what you meant. I so totally do have taste, though.
