Who: Agent Washington and anyone
What: "Patrol" aka Relaxing outside the castle.
When: May 31
Where: Outside the front entrance to the castle
Rating: G as of now

Wash had decided it was time for a bit of a break. As much as he usually chose to patrol the halls checking nameplates, he had decided it was a good day to go outside. He was armor and if asked, he'd claim it was a patrol. But really, it was just him getting outside for a while, relaxing near the entrance of the castle.

He even has his weapons put away, and he's feeling oddly relaxed. Though it may just be the fact that the castle is presently free of chaos and insanity affecting him.

Paige would admit to initially approaching her liquid form with trepidation when in Paradisa.   She had all her memories restored to her and with them, the feelings they brought.   The last time she had slipped into her water form she had been stuck for a week and part of her worried that it would stick.  But the shower wasn't enough.  The bath wasn't either.  No matter how often she shed, how often she cleaned, she could still feel it on her.  The old world, clinging to her like a black spot between her shoulders that she couldn't quite reach.  

The itch to use her powers wasn't going away quickly, the inhibitor collar had suppressed too much.  So when she toyed with the idea of her water form, she had enough forethought to do a test patch first, shedding the skin on her hand and back again to make sure.  

It worked without a hitch.   Even testing to see if she could still slip through beneath the door, it worked flawlessly.   Reforming wasn't problematic either,  on the other side of the door she could take humanoid form, looking to all the world  like a transparent human water fountain. 

It looked strange but felt amazing, what watery footfalls she left in her  wake quickly reabsorbed into her body.  She felt so clean. So accomplished.  So graceful.
                                              
Until she slipped.

She slid against the hard floor, one watery leg losing its shape, it's stability.   She yelled in surprise, pitching to the side, her upper body hitting the window shoulder first.   The window that had been cracked open.

Oh--!

As her centre of gravity shifted, her humanoid form dissolving into a shapeless, airborne puddle of water,  she found herself questioning why she had slipped.  Why her foot had given out.   Not another joke at her expense,  surely.  

All the while,  there was a very large amount of water, as if tossed from a bathtub,  heading straight for the spot upon which Wash had chosen to carry out his relaxation.

Oh dear.

Well, it was good for Wash that he was wearing armor that was waterproof, at least. Though to be honest, even in normal clothing, a wetting would have been easily shrugged off.

And considering his state of relaxation, he was a touch slow to move out of the way of the falling "water". When it lands on him, he looks up at where it came from, trying to figure out if that had been target. "What the hell?"

[When Paige landed she was fortunate enough to neither die, nor horribly maim herself. Any other form and either of those options was a viable possibility after falling from that level. However, it took her a moment to gather her thoughts, many of which were relieved expletives. This meant that for a moment, as would be expected, the puddle of water that had doused Wash, did not move.

Then, in the seconds after Wash had spoken, the puddle did the unexpected, and bubbled furiously. the remnants of a garbled voice seemed to emanate from the puddle as Paige vocalised some of the more improper words. How could this have happened? How could she have been dim enough to think that Paradisa would allow her to get away with this neat little party trick without paying for it?

The water began to bead together. The spray that had landed further afield than the main body of water, drifted back into the central mass, including those droplets that clung to blades of grass, concrete, and the tips of her victim's footwear. The liquid rippled, then took form. She did not husk again but with enough concentration she could take on translucent humanoid form, her shape barbie-like in appearance but without solid features. From the stance that formed; folded arms, feet apart, shoulders scrunched, it was clear that she was not in the best of spirits.]

Are you kidding me?!

[The shout was odd, as if heard underwater. She shook her fist upward at nothing in particular.]

You can't do this to me again!

[It was only when she lowered her fist that her deflated form seemed to notice that the person she had landed on, was still there and, in all likelihood, still alarmed.]

Are you okay? Ah'm sorry, Ah fell, Ah just wanted to be clean and Ah fell and...

[She must have looked completely bizarre, gesticulating upward and then around herself as she spoke, flicking up sprays of water as she did so.]

Ah'm sorry.

Washington was... A bit shocked at that, but he's not really upset. Interested at the unique trick, but not upset. "I'm fine. I've been hit by much worse in this place. Don't worry about it. Are you hurt? You're the one that fell..."

Yup. Washington is too used to odd. He really is.
