[ME] (SE) like rats out of a sinking ship

Is what happens pure luck? Random chance? A complex set of calculations based on factors you've not even considered? What a good question. The droplets on water sting Wessex 's skin, and though she doesn't feel pain, her circuitry with snap and fire as if she's being subjected to small electrical shocks. Amun experiences much the same, his flash-bang going quite wide as he tries to through it at Amalia. Bastien gets the worst of it, the water sizzling and snapping like water on a grease fire, and a good chunk of his hair bursts into flame before immediately being doused.
