Mew and the Battle of 1999, Guest starring Mentat
"It is a squirt gun, not a hose." Mentat put his coat down, now that he didn't need to draw anymore knives from toonspace, as he liked to think of it. "But you are right in that the water here is not trustworthy unless tested first."
"Magic, silver, fire and explosives: these are the four tools that stop things from getting better. One or a combination of them will usually stop a regenerating or undying nasty from getting better or continuing to attack. If they don't work, you have a special case on your hands."
Mentat checked the pockets of his jacket for anything he wasn't willing to get rid of, and then after pulling a new folded uniform and a rock climber's kit out of his jacket, tossed the old jacket to Mew. "There. Wipe off, and then we have to get out of here."
He broke open the kit, and pulled out a grappling hook and tied it to the rope within that box. "I need to get dressed. Feel free to toss the rope up, and then climb it. I'm sure you can do it. Once we are up, I need a moment to read the news. It's important."
He put on the undershirt, the shirt, and the new jacket. The pants went back into the new jacket, back into toonspace. Once she had that rope secured, he would climb up after she went up, and read the Human Village Bunbunmaru to see what the day's news was likely to be.
