[It takes a bit of patience and a lot of concentration, but Kyouka manages to focus her emotions enough to start freezing the water core. It's... difficult, though, because she hasn't really been here long enough to be experienced with her Dunamis yet, but she still wants to do what she can to help. This world has been kind to her so far, and she feels obligated to return the favor in whatever way possible.
Kyouka also knows... if she really wanted to, she could speed up the process. Ice naturally forms around her as an emotional reaction, but that's... only if she becomes sad or grieved.
That's a last resort, though, and she'll continue putting all of her efforts into freezing the water core so ice can flow through it.]
No matter what... I won't fail.

[By this point Kyouka must have protested to having the offending object placed on her finger about five times, but the sales rep is not hearing it. At all. And that point gets proven even further when he unceremoniously shoves the ring on her finger with a, "You enjoy yourself, now!"]
Wait, no- Ah-!
[A flurry of icy hail falls around Kyouka, revealing her shock, as a mysterious force begins pulling her towards people. She digs in her heels and grabs at her wrist, tries to fight against it, but whatever strange magic this is seems to be a lot stronger than her own strength.
She doesn't want this, though! People being tied together by a red string of fate... Kyouka doesn't know if she believes in anything like that, and even if she did... There's only one person she's close enough with to even consider as a possibility. Surely she wouldn't be tied to them that way, though-
A gasp rips through her as she's finally dragged across the ground, and Kyouka struggles to force the ring off - but not in time to keep from bumping into someone.]
E
[Kyouka yelps the moment the ground disappears under her feet, not expecting it all - but her reflexes are too good from her time with the Mafia. She twists her body, quick as a cat catching itself, and lands in a shallow part of the water with little to no damage to herself. Her heart is pounding and the moment she sees the ground - ceiling? - reappear over her head as if nothing has happened, ice starts to form on the water's surface, and the smell instantly begins to worsen. Kyouka won't know that the latter is due to her, though she will think that she spots something moving-
But then she sees you, whether you be stranger or a familiar face, and Kyouka will just assume that she's imagining things.]
Are you... alright?
F-1
Hah!
[In one fluid motion, Kyouka dodges the punch aimed at her face and incapacitates the bandit striking out at her with one swift jab to the pressure point on his neck. She could've struck with her sword if she really wanted to. It would've been easy to take his life.
...Too easy.
Because at the end of the day, this is still what she's good at. What she's "born to do", if Kouyou's words are to be believed, but-
But Kyouka doesn't want that. She doesn't want that to be her life anymore. Because he showed her that her life doesn't have to be that way now - and here, in this world, she's going to start over new.]
I don't have to kill... But I will protect everyone's happiness...!
[But-
No, no, she got too distracted. She sees the movement out of the corner of her eye, another bandit- He's got something in his hand, and it looks like he's winding up to throw-
Kyouka yells to the person nearest to her.] Watch out!
Wildcard
[Got something else in mind? Feel free to throw it at me!]
