“I don’t usually smoke but, when I do, I use it to disarm assailants and practice firing streams of concentrated searing goo from wispy effigies of myself.”
I’m fairly limited when it comes to shapeshifitng. I can’t exit my species; I’m chromatically-challenged, et al… However, when it comes to states of matter and their manipulation? I’m the most proficient individual you’ll ever meet – as exhibited here~! From solid, to gas, to smoldering liquid without exerting myself in the slightest because…well, why not? It’s a tactic that I rarely get the chance to flaunt. Despite popular opinion, it’s not all that practical in the close quarters that I usually operate in. However, it’s great for discombobulating people. Seeing someone’s confused expression as they only manage to grab a small apercu at the source of the projectile that’s now freezing them in place of burning off clumps of fur and/or epidermis is absolutely priceless!
Of course, that means this must be performed with precision from any angle – hence this casual target practice with a ‘civilian’ obstacle. Who wants to bet that the first strike will end up glancing him?!
