No, I'll be good. Been through worse dizzy spells than this. [ Again, Joker piloting through the Omega relay. She looks up at him, a thin smile spreading across her lips. ]
Besides, the first time's only rough if you don't build up to it enough.
[ She nods, letting go of his jacket in the meantime. ]
Hell yeah. I can think of a hundred different ways my job would be so much easier if I could teleport around like that.
[ Kasumi takes a moment to look around; seems that they've ported into a relatively quiet area, for now. Of course, as soon as she thinks that, there's a scream coming from behind them, and she turns. A woman is being chased by a blob--not a very big one, mind you, but by now the news of them devouring flesh and people has spread, and the mere sight of them causes panic. She shoots Peter a look. ]
[ Good thing Peter never leaves home without his blasters, paranoid bastard that he is. So he readies them both (for whatever good blasts of fire and lightning will do against gelatinous blobs) and gives her a wink. ]
[ Kasumi misses her babies M-5 Phalanx and M-12 Locust so, so badly right now (though maybe it's for the best, seeing as they'd be virtually useless without access to thermal clips here). But at least she has her one and only omni-tool, which glows orange on her arm. ]
'Course. It'd be a shame to get my face eaten off by man-eating jello, after all.
I'd be super upset, personally. Mostly because, wow, what an embarrassing way to go. If it happens, I promise to laugh only a little bit.
[ He grins over his shoulder at her as he's running forward, meeting the woman and attempting to calm her, directing her to go home and stay indoors. She nods frantically and continues running.
The blob is still-- sliding? slithering? rolling?-- towards them, and when Peter lifts his gun to fire, it suddenly stretches and splits into two with a loud, wet squelching sound. Peter pulls a face at that, disgusted, and then opens fire at the first blob. A bolt of electricity hits it dead on, and it sizzles, sparks, until finally exploding into piles of gunk. ]
[ She just dignifies his joke by rolling her eyes, which he probably misses since. Hood.
But Kasumi nods at the woman as she runs past and spares Kasumi a glance, as though to reassure her that they'll cover her escape and not to worry. She looks on cautiously as Peter approaches the blob, her arm raised with her omni-tool at the ready, and then it--oh, wow. Kasumi actually makes a disgusted noise at everything, the squelching sound, the horrifically gross display of it splitting into two and then exploding after Peter shoots at it, just. Why this. ]
Ewww.
[ Sadly, the second one still must be taken care of, and it moves in a surprisingly agile manner considering it's a blob, and Kasumi gracefully sidesteps away from its path and then uses that momentum to jump back a bit, putting some distance between her and the blob before she utters a quick heads up! at Peter and uses her omni-tool's Overload on the thing, the effect being exactly the same as what Peter's blaster did to the first blob. ]
There are plenty of guys who deserve a good punch or ten in Maurtia Falls, so you can look forward to that.
[ Since they're clear, for now, Kasumi shuts her omni-tool and takes the moment to reach down to the longer parts of her skirt that peek out from beneath her jacket and--eh, she grabs fistfuls of the fabric and tears it off. It's liable to cause her to trip up or just get in the way in the middle of a fight.
(And it's not like she used her own money to buy it, anyway.) ]
[ Said in the most girlish tone ever. Up ahead, more blobs terrorizing locals, news at 10, and Kasumi casts Peter a knowing, sidelong glance, as though to say let's go. ]
But with a quick nod to one side, he indicates he'll take the right. Some of the blobs here are considerably larger than others, and Peter wonders why that is. Maybe they've just been eating more? Rolling up unsuspecting squirrels or something?
But his questions are answered as a smaller blob rolls into one of the larger ones, seemingly on accident, and they combine together with a noisy slurp.
Gross.
He starts firing, and then he calls over his shoulder, ]
[ Because the blobs in front of her have just merged, too, and she just. Misses her guns so goddamn much right now, because as it is she only has Overload at her disposal, seeing as getting remotely close to the evil blobs would not be in her best interest.
Luckily, Overload is great, and when she doles it out onto the bigger blob, it jumps over in a chain to the next few before they have a chance to fuse together or...whatever it is they do. ]
Well, it could be worse, right? They could, like, smell really bad too or something.
Yeah. Like formaldehyde. [ It's punctuated by the high-pitched whine of his blasters, and quickly on the heals of that noise is the loud squelching noise of a blob exploding. ]
Or sewer sludge.
But they kinda look like big things of jelly, right? Or jello? Like, stick a few random fruits in one of these bad boys, and I could totally see 'em hanging out on a picnic table.
[ The mental image is probably not as wholesome as one would want it to be. Kasumi says something along the lines of "That's even worse," but her words are drowned out by the sound of electricity crackling through the air and at another blob before it explodes. ]
Yeah, I don't think I even want to see a thing of jello after this. Gross.
[ Peter sighs dramatically, so as to be heard over the sound of another few exploding blobs; the heat from his gun makes more than a few sizzle and boil at points, though thankfully it doesn't kick up anything noxious. ]
So that's a no to the jello festival in a couple weeks, huh?
[ She startles him a little when she lands beside him, though it thankfully does nothing to affect his aim. The last blob on his side of the street explodes in a wet splash, coating a mailbox and a patch of sidewalk.
He doesn't envy whoever has to clean all this junk up. ]

If you need to sit, now's the time while we're in the clear. First time's rough. Sorry.

You good now?

Yep, good to go.
[ She doesn't spare a moment before she begins to move towards the downtown area, where most of the commotion seems to be. ]
By the way, love those blasters. They don't need ammunition or anything?
no subject
Nope. Sometimes they overheat a little? But I just gotta sit out of a fight for a little bit and I'm good.
[ He waves vaguely to her wrist. ]
What's that thing called again? It's awesome.
