IDK SOME KIND OF EUDIO AU;

[saints]

[ This is totally the right number, you have Ellie's face and everything. ]

Hey, Elliot, I've got a spell that needs doing and it's a tango for two. It requires a precision touch anyways and you know as well as I do that Max isn't capable of that sort of thing. Marco's fighting some weird fire and Dani's off at his tat shop today so that leaves just the two of us.

I'll owe you one or something. Maybe.

Just the sooner the better, alright?

LAUGHS

[limped]

[ Give Newt a minute to try to process the words that he's just been subjected to. Is he being hit on? Is he being harassed? ]

Ya seem to have the wrong number, I'm not Elliot.

[ Yeah, that's a great answer. But... He can't help his curiosity. ]

Spell?

Re: LAUGHS

[saints]

[ A combination of the two. ]

Son of a bitch, why are there so many damn people who look like people I know.

[ There's a sigh that goes here. ]

Yeah, uh, call it magical calisthenics. It works best with a partner and I... really need one.

[limped]

I don't look like anyone but myself, shuck-face.

[ Newt's voice sounds a little tense at the thought. WCKD probably isn't above clones and it's a freaky thought. ]

Magical calisthenics? What the bloody hell is that even supposed to be? Like a wizard?

[ Something scratches in the back of his mind, you're a wizard. ]

[saints]

Nope. Definitely sure you and Elliot bear a real scary resemblance.

[ Down, boy, down. ]

Listen, like you hone any skill, you have to hone your magic. It's just a thing that needs doing, man.

Wizard? Yeah. Basically. Wing of bat. Tongue of newt. Not as much toil and trouble as before, though. We've perfected that.

[limped]

Yeah, okay, sure.

[ Hear that? He's brushing you off Tristan, he doesn't buy a word of it. ]

T-tongue of Newt? [ Please leave his tongue alone??? ] What do ya want with my tongue? I'm not givin' ya my tongue or helpin' you with your weird spell or whatever.

[ Newt isn't sure what's going on anymore. ]

[saints]

Newt? Your name is Newt. Wow. No, I meant the... lizard, not... a person's actual tongue. Bad example then... Tongue of Newt's cliché and doesn't really work that well anyways in most of the spells I have to use,

[ Aaaaanyways. ]

so even if it did require tongue from a boy named "Newt" I don't think I'd go that route.

[limped]

Yes, my name is Newt and you aren't gettin' my buggin' tongue so you can get off that bloody thought.

[ He's still alarmed, this is alarming. Is there an option for car alarm noises in humans?

...

WHAT. ]

What shuck route would you go?

[ IS HE BEING HIT ON OR THREATENED????? HE'LL DO YOUR HEAD IN, MATE, HE AIN'T SCARED. POMERANIAN MODE ACTIVATED. ]
