327 - Flood Event Mingle
[ Perhaps you're a really strong swimmer. Perhaps you've found a canoe to paddle around in, unhooked a door to recreate the ending of Titanic. Perhaps breathing isn't a necessity for you. Perhaps you're already doomed to drown. Whichever your situation, there's one thing for certain.

The rain isn't stopping. ]

	Apparently. [ He huffs, clearly annoyed with the whole situation. ] Kitty thought now was the ideal time to put my engineering degree to use. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm guessing you don't agree? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2015-06-11 06:37 am UTC (link)
	It's a degree I got when I was a teenager and never put into actual practice, so no. But I guess she thinks it's better than almost ten years of law enforcement experience. [ Truth be told he's pretty sure she just wanted him out of the way, which makes some decisions a whole lot easier to make. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Did you want to arrest the water? [She probably shouldn't be making jokes, should she?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2015-06-11 10:46 pm UTC (link)
	[ Nope. She really shouldn't. ] Haha, very funny. I get it, okay? I'm completely useless. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	greenerarrow 2015-06-11 10:48 pm UTC (link)
	People who are completely useless don't get put in charge of things. They get sent up to the island with no instructions at all. [The "like me" is understood, right?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2015-06-12 06:30 am UTC (link)
	In charge of drainage, Artemis. She's just giving me busy work so I'll stay out of her way. [ Yeah, he's pissed. No instructions had at least alluded to some kind of professional trust. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	greenerarrow 2015-06-12 01:17 pm UTC (link)
	Well, can you at least give me something to do even if it's beneath you so I'm not up here doing nothing until they decide to call off the rain while my teammates do the important stuff? [Teammates in this case being Wally and M'gann, not the whole force.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2015-06-14 01:11 pm UTC (link)
	[ He sighs, forcing himself to calm down for a moment. ] Sure. You can help me dig run-off drainage, I guess. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	greenerarrow 2015-06-14 03:55 pm UTC (link)
	[She nods.] Right. Okay, I see why this sucks. [But that doesn't mean she's not doing it.] I'll get the shovels. I think I saw someone dropped them off. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2015-06-16 07:41 am UTC (link)
	Alright... I'll be here. [ And although Kitty hinted that he should delegate through mob-like leaning, he's not about to do that. If Artemis is digging, then so is he. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	greenerarrow 2015-06-16 01:26 pm UTC (link)
	[Good thing she brings back two then, handing one to him along with some work gloves.] You think there's a chance the water is going to get up this high? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2015-06-16 01:39 pm UTC (link)
	It's a lot of dome to fill, but... [ He falls silent for a moment, letting the calculations do their work. ] ...with the rate the water is filling up, I'd say we have a couple of hours before it reaches us. Unless it stops, of course. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	greenerarrow 2015-06-16 08:21 pm UTC (link)
	I guess we should probably hurry then. We might really need all those extra rafts and stuff. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2015-06-17 09:07 am UTC (link)
	Better safe than sorry, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	greenerarrow 2015-06-17 01:04 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, I can swim, but treading water for the rest of the day and all night at least sounds like a lot. We can't all grow gills and fins when we need them like M'gann. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2015-06-17 02:50 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, that's not going to work... and not all of us can swim either, I'd guess. [ He can, for a while. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	greenerarrow 2015-06-17 09:49 pm UTC (link)
	Probably not. [She looks over at him, a little concerned.] Can you? [If only she had bracket-vision.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2015-06-18 08:27 am UTC (link)
	Swim? Yeah. Not well enough to stay afloat all night. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	greenerarrow 2015-06-18 01:18 pm UTC (link)
	Then we'll just have to make sure there's enough for everyone. ...Any idea how many people there are? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2015-06-19 08:27 am UTC (link)
	In the prison? [ He breathes a sigh. ] Fifty, sixty... maybe seventy. It's difficult to keep track with the coming and going. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	greenerarrow 2015-06-19 01:19 pm UTC (link)
	How many do you think can stay on the same thing safely? [She looks at the few things they were able to retrieve from below in sporting goods sections so far. A couple of collapsible kayaks, three inflatable rafts, and a small pile of life jackets and floaties. Not enough for maybe seventy.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2015-06-19 04:54 pm UTC (link)
	Depends on the thing... [ Let him think about this for a moment. ] As it is, we don't have enough. We need to build something more sustainable. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	greenerarrow 2015-06-19 08:20 pm UTC (link)
	Like a few big ones or lots of little ones? [Wondering how many raw materials they'll be able to get.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2015-06-20 09:21 am UTC (link)
	Maybe both... smaller ones would be easier to start with, especially if we can construct some way to tie them together. Many little floatation modules that create a bigger system. Easy to build on, easy to cut loose if something happens. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
