[Action | Open]
[Amidst the otherwise lovely weather of the dome, there's quite the miniature storm brewing in the park. Lightning that seems to streak down from the top of the dome, gusts of abnormally strong wind, claps of thunder. But no rain, and the lightning looks, if you catch it just so, to be tinged with red. Clearly not a typical weather pattern.]

[Further investigation will show that there's a cloaked figure at the center of it all, the cause of it in fact, arms held aloft as he manipulates his spells. And what's he trying to do, exactly? Repeat a happy accident he had a few months ago with a summoning spell. Zelgadis is trying to get Saber back.]

[It's so obvious. How did he not think of this before? Maybe it was the transfer of prisons that woke him up, got Zelgadis thinking about Sentience's coup and all the sleeping people that couldn't be roused. If Saber went home, if he could be sure of that, no way would he be trying this. But if she's just in some other dimension, a no man's land, or floating in blackness...]

[He has to try. No matter how tired he feels thanks to the extended use of strong magic, no matter how his vision dots with black. She'd do no less for him.]

[Lightning flashes down from above and the wind kicks up in a short radius around his immediate area as Zelgadis pours his magic -- all of it -- into the summoning. He's already fading, but if it gets Saber back, if there's even a chance, he'll gladly drain himself completely.]

***

((OOC: Anyone near the park will see the lightning show and may also be caught by a sudden, strong wind if you like! Please do not have your characters injured by the effects unless we chat OOCly first, but anything short of that is fair game! He might be a little out of it as he gets drained from the power restrictions.))

	[The storm abruptly dies, wind and lightning and all, as Zelgadis crumbles to the ground, his last reserves of energy spent. The dome's power restrictions combined with a stubborn refusal to stop despite his growing weakness have proved too much. He's breathing, but he doesn't move; he doesn't even twitch.] (Reply to this) (Thread)

[Sougo really didn't get what was with the sudden storm, but stubborn is as stubborn does, and it didn't stop him from walking and lazing about.

When the storm dies down, however, he does take notice of a thud he hears nearby, and goes for a closer look.

Ah, it's sword guy.

Sougo gets to his knees and searches for any blood or anything.]

Oi, are you napping or dying? Wave for napping. Thumbs down for dying. Or flip me the bird if you want me to fuck off.

[Sougo pat pats him on the shoulder, then gets up and kicks him on the arm.]

It's not nice to ignore people who are trying to be nice. [He spits on Zel.]

[ The storm is certainly something that warrants investigation - the fact that it clearly isn't one of the dome's usual simulated weather events is enough to pique Data's curiosity as he passes nearby.

So he approaches what appears to be the source of the phenomenon, even as it dies down, and comes across the somewhat concerning scene of Sougo kicking at and spitting on Zelgadis.

It's also rather confusing, so his brow furrows and his head tilts slightly to a side as he approaches. ]

Excuse me. Is there a problem?

	[Sougo shrugs, pointing at Zel's body with his thumb.] I dunno. All I know is that I didn't do it. [You know, just to be clear.] Oh, and he might be dead, so I feel the need to hide the evidence. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Data gives a slight nod, just... a bit confused, a bit concerned. ] Perhaps we should ascertain his condition prior to... "hiding the evidence." [ And he takes out his tricorder, moving to give Zelgadis a quick scan. ] If I may? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Why? It's so much easier to mess with him this way. [He positions himself to grab Zel by the leg to drag him away. It doesn't work, but Sougo is too stubborn to let that stop him from trying!] I won't let you ruin my fun. [A pull and a grunt.] I won't [Another pull and a grunt.] let you [And another pull and a grunt.] so easily! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It seems likely that he requires medical attention.

[ And then Data stands and watches as Sougo tries to drag Zelgadis, standing momentarily still and blinking. ]

Your use of "fun" does not appear to correspond to my existing understanding of the concept - nor does it seem particularly well-intentioned. While I would ordinarily be willing to wait for you to exert yourself, I do not believe further delays would be conducive to providing him with the assistance which he requires.

[ And as they don't actually seem to be getting much of anywhere, Data is just going to go ahead and check over Zelgadis with his tricorder now. He can scan him just fine from a few feet away. ]

	[He considered protesting until he saw the device.] What the hell is that thing? It's not fair that you get to play with toys I've never seen before. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It is a tricorder, a scanning device from my own reality of origin.

[ Which is not a toy, but he's quickly deciding that correcting that is not important. While Zelgadis is alive, the readings are not promising. ]

I am presently using it to perform a basic scan of his life signs - he is alive, however his vitals are extremely weak. We should secure medical assistance immediately.

	[What the --- Korra's gotten used to the weather patterns in the dome, and those freak lightning flashes? Not standard. She heads over to check it out. She didn't expect -- but isn't surprised -- to find a man at the center of it.] Hey! What are you doing? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	[Magic? No way.] Looks like bending to me. [She frowns.] And you're gonna mess things up if you're not careful. [People don't like that, she's learned the hard way.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's magic. I should know, I've been studying it since I was -- [ugh why is he explaining this] I am careful. Now stay back. [He's not going to hurt anyone, even if she is being a bother.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	And I've been a bender since I was three. [Then again, she's never seen a bender who could call up a storm like that. Only the Avatar should have that kind of power.] Why are you calling up a storm? [Power makes her curious, okay? Besides, calling up a storm in a nice park is just weird. Her nosiness is totally justified.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
