[Open] She's never tailed anyone before but is pretty sure it can't be that hard

[diediediediediedie]

[The big question hanging over everything for Peridot was "now what?"

She was stuck in a big human city, ordered to destroy shadow monsters who may or may not pop out at any time with hypothetical powers she has no idea how to use. Most of her own Gem abilities are gone, she has no need of most of the services in the city, and she can't go anywhere.

So what was she meant to do now?

Her training tells her that if she has no idea AT ALL what to do, then she should gather information...but what would that look like? Tracking someone in the hopes that THEY'LL have a clue?

...Yes, apparently. Well, shards.

Perhaps she could tail a likely looking suspect and watch what they do. See if she can catch them working out their powers. It's just a matter of waiting for someone to come by and follow them for a distance.

Of course, that all depends on someone magic walking by...]

We clearly do

[Well, yes, she's following him, but from a safe distance. This one is clearly unstable. She's moved up to the rooftops because of it, actually. He's a possible threat. Perhaps one to be eliminated but that remains to be seen.

Her fingers are not soundless when they helicopter, and if he were to quit screaming and kicking things for a few minutes he might hear her passing from rooftop to rooftop.]

[ It seemed like he wasn't going to scare off whoever it was so they were at least intent on watching him. Gotta give them some credit. He glanced up at only a blip of a noise but he didn't catch a visual.

You fuckin' -

He approached the can he knocked over, picking up the steel lid and giving it a moment to feel the weight of it. Good enough.

So he flung it toward where he suspected the noise had gone, letting the wind (and perhaps a little something extra) carry it up. ]

[She touched down on the rooftop, flexed her fingers, and then was beaned in the back of the head by a trash can. The impact caused her to lose her balance and topple forwards with shriek and a thud.

Oh, she was going to hurt him.

She wobbled to her feet, picked up the trash can in a wobbly manner, and wobbled over to the edge of the roof to throw it back at him.]

[explodokills]

[ YEAH HE THOUGHT SO

He moved just enough to swing his forearm as it approached him and slammed it to the ground. The impact sounded worse than it was, but as he felt the heat swelling under his skin, he remembered how much he used to use his quirk to really added to the impact and alleviate it from his bones. Ah well. ]

You gonna come down now, you annoying-ass fly?

[diediediediediedie]

[Peridot's dizziness is going away quickly, but she hardly notices. The little human on the ground made -admittedly- quite an impressive block. He must be less fragile than the others around her, but unfortunately he's still as stupid. She has all the advantages up on the roof.]

Of course not, you clod! If you want me, you'll have to come up here!
