Day 292 — Octonado mingle!
[Thunderbolt and lightning—very, very frightening.

Take cover, take shelter, take heart. You'll need to take everything you can just to make it through today with so few areas really being safe.]

(OOC: DETAILS here. Mingle out and about in the rapidly changing elements or cozy in one of the shelters.)

Sarah | OTA

The wardens message was garbled, but Sarah heard something about safe zones. So maybe she should go there. But... she needed something to do while she was there. A book or something. She headed out and immediately stepped into a puddle that was deeper than it should be. As she pulled her foot out she realized there were... wait a minute...

"Is that a flying octopus?" she asks to the rain before realizing it seems to be coming at her. And now it's time to run.

You'll have plenty of time to dodge, Sarah, because someone just stepped directly in the path of that octopus. And swatted it out of the way with a single gloved fist, not even looking to see where it landed. (Everything's getting wrecked anyway.)

"You all right?" Sailor Uranus calls over her shoulder. She hadn't wanted to come out here today, either. Anybody who goes out in this kind of weather should be prepared to fend for themselves.

But she got some very odd news yesterday. Having something concrete and productive to do has proven to be really cathartic.

	Sarah nods as she works on getting words to work. Finally she gets a good look at who helped her. "Ye... Yes. Thank you Haruka. I didn't... that was... why is this happening?" Seriously. The Labyrinth is way easier to handle than this! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Haruka? She doesn't know any "Haruka"! She is Sailor Uranus!

....yeah, it's not like she was fully expecting the "disguise" to work here, nor is it particularly important. Uranus shields her eyes against the rain, peering up at the stormclouds.

"We'd better run for a safe zone before more of those come," she assesses: Sarah's question goes unanswered partially because she hasn't got an answer - if it were a leak in the dome, they'd be dead by now - but also because they have bigger fish to fry. She offers Sarah a hand (thankfully not the one she just used to backhand a flying sea creature). "Come on."

Sarah only called her Haruka because that was the only name she knew for the woman. It didn't register that this woman might not be the woman Sarah knew before. Instead, she's very ready to grab the woman's hand and follow her to wherever she wants to go.

"I wanted a book..." she begins. It's stupid, but she doesn't want to be bored the entire time they're stuck for however long they may be stuck.

Uranus looks back at Sarah, as if debating just how harsh to be. On the one hand, who knows how long they'll be stuck. On the other hand...

"Is that worth your safety?" she asks, and keeps moving. Worrying about the dome caving in will be enough entertainment for her.

If Sarah insists, however, she might be reluctantly persuaded to come around - whether she realizes this or not.

	Sarah looks like she's about to argue for a moment. But a fresh burst of wind convinces her this would be the worst idea. The book would get damaged and she'd probably get punished for it. "No.. you're right. Let's go find a safe zone." She pulls her sopping wet sweater closer to herself, ready to follow Haruka wherever she goes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Uranus sets a rapid pace, leaning into the blinding rains with one arm in front of her face as a makeshift shield. A squid hurtles past, looking confused; she dodges it, yanking Sarah to the side. Great. The storm's picking up, before she even has a chance to... And then she sees the giant squid heading their way. Oh boy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Sarah is keeping up decently. One of the only good things about growing up in the 80s is that her generation of kids were outside all the time. Sure she wasn't with other kids, but she was still fit.

Mostly, she's trying not to think of the various animals flying around. Until she sees the giant squid. Giant giant squid. She looks around and sees a building. She can't tell what it is but it's the only thing she can think of.

"Over there!"

	Oh, shoot. There'll be no batting that aside. If she had to, she could attack it and maybe make the debris smaller, but... Uranus puts on an extra burst of speed, all but leaping for the safety of the building. If they make it to the door, and it's open, she'll try to shove Sarah in first. If they don't, well... She's tall, so she makes a decent human shield. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Luckily for them both they make it. Sarah stumbles to the floor and lays there a moment, catching her breath. She hadn't expected flying octopi... or squids... or any of the other things.

A few moments later, she looks up at her savior.

"Thank you. You always seem to help me out with something or another." Whether it's grabbing fairy statues from a top shelf or saving her from flying squids... Sarah is grateful.

The tall woman's useful like that - when not in one of her "support equals coddling" moods. Uranus looks Sarah over, relieved she seems to have made it inside without injury. Shutting the door, she leans on it.

"That must be a really good book," she quips, then looks out at the storm with a frown. Tch. Knowing this place, the strange weather's likely to last all day....which her transformation definitely won't. She can feel her breath coming faster already.

Sarah's forgotten for a moment as Uranus assesses the storm, trying to decide on a plan of action. What's in this building, anyway?

	Sarah's already wandered further into the building and laughed when she realized where they are. "It's a bowling alley! I didn't realize we had a bowling alley." Seems as good a way as any to wait out the storm. Provided various sea creatures don't end up taking them out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
