Much as Red loved an opportunity for unrestrained casting, today that position was to be filled solely by Rydia. She looked from her companion to her laptop screen when the initial spell went off and clucked her tongue as though she perfectly understood the results it displayed. Common sense told her that infrared hues in yellows, oranges and red indicated heat signatures. Therefore, ever darkening shades of blue must represent the exact opposite. Everything returned to 'normal' body temperatures quickly enough but, as expected, the cool darker blues lingered where cheap metal contacted simulated skin.
Upon even closer inspection Red was fascinated to find a sort of steam rising from it, as though cheap crystals were made from dried ice. It took a solid sixty seconds for her to fight off an urge to poke her tongue against them. For Science. Ultimately the mental image of sitting in Kadowaki's office with a chain dangling from her mouth, leaving Rydia to do all the talking for so long as she was rendered hilariously mute, managed to keep her momentary stupidity in check. "Yep!" She answered at last. "Keep aiming here until it breaks. If the skin is severely abraded as a result we could be looking at a new take down maneuver." Like shooting a target in the knee versus a more lethal outright attack! Small scale disarming at range versus the knock-out blow of heavier spells. "We'll call it ... Operation Strip Tease." Also, painful side effects might put a damper on her plans to create spell imbued jewelry. Ah, well. Minor setbacks were to be expected.
