[accidental video]

[The feed cuts in mid-shriek, Sam’s drone apparently having interpreted the start of the sound as its cue to begin broadcasting. It shows the adept pushing herself to her feet, having been knocked to her hands and knees by---what? Water. She’s drenched to dripping, and the street she stands on is wet for several metres all around.]

Calvaire de crisse...!

[It’s no more than a mutter as she straightens and immediately starts for the shelter of the closest building, casting an anxious glance up as she goes. She’s through a doorway in a matter of moments due to making haste, and relaxes---marginally---as she moves further away from the entrance.]

Well, it really popularized this idea that water will melt witches and I am pretty sure that that was the point here.

[Sam blows a slow breath out, taking the clip from her hair. The ponytail it's in falls with a soggy spat; she starts to wring it out, scowling.]

Adding insult to injury? A melted witch may not actually be entirely dead. 'Probably-but-not-fully-for-sure' murderous intent does not mollify me, because some 'I have no mouth and I must scream' situation is not a significant step up from jack shit.

[And his expression will go from confused to angry] Dirge did this? To melt you?

[Never mind that it was a stupid idea and would never have worked, clearly hadn't worked, the intent was there.]

All signs point to yes. [She flicks her hands up in angry emphasis.] I haven't had any trouble with anyone else, and the ambiguity of whether or not a witch might survive melting could have been something he meant to exploit---he gave his word that he wouldn't kill me, and is probably just twisted enough to see the technicality as a way to preserve the worth of his word.

Whatever the rationale was, he's going to regret it.

If he fragging lives to regret it when I'm done with him!

I'm sure he'll find some time before you've finished, with or without an after.

[Maybe now isn't the best time to be quipping, but what the hell---Sam appreciates seeing Breakdown's pissed as hell on her behalf.]

[He snorts.] You stay inside.

[He's gong to go deal with Dirge. Stompstompstomp...his drone follows behind him.]

That's... pretty much the plan for my immediate future.

[But she'll leave it at that, since Breakdown is obviously a mech on a mission.]

[And a short time later his drone will cut the feed.]
