( interesting. the gas hits the barrel of the flamethrower and bursts out the cylinder in a sputtering flare. it doesn't go far. not the intended distance, judging by ephemera's reaction. ephemera and his toys. the fire is a good tactic because no one expects it or knows how to field it without flying into a reflexive panic, but it has its pitfalls.
like not operating correctly when he needs it to, for example. a built-in flamethrower synched to his hud has to be a little more finicky to operate than a standalone device. sometimes ortez would have similar issues with his camo unit.
this is why felix just used a fucking shield and his knives. uncomplicated.
anyone else would maintain their distance. ephemera is in a full rig, and felix is dressed down in his civvies and a pair of sneakers. felix, however, doesn't give a fuck, moving across the lot into range, then even closer, stopping a few inches short of ephemera. his fingers wind loosely around ephemera's arm, coaxing it around to peer down at the plating, the barrel of the flamethrower. )

Not syncing properly, or something else?
