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. ]

	[She lowers the beam of light once it hits him, trying to walk a bit faster but snagging her bag on a shelf with an audible grunt and snap back. 'Fuck' is muttered under her breath as she tries to wrench it free.] I - wanted to grab a few things. I think I overstayed my welcome. You? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lookin' for you... well, lookin' for anyone. 's gettin' bad out here. [ He worries, but doesn't dare leave the door too far behind. ] You okay? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2015-06-10 09:08 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah - yeah, I just got my bag snagged on something. [One of those shitty wire shelves she can't really see in the dark to detangle herself from.] I thought you'd - everyone'd be heading to get ready to go up to the island by now. Is that where you're going next? [She's trying to calm down and untangle the strap rather than jerk at it, gainingly frustrated.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2015-06-10 09:14 pm UTC (link)
	Eventually, yeah... figured I'd make another round, make sure no one's trapped out here. [ And then he found her and yeah, this looks like a trapping. ] You need some help? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[She is not trapped! So not trapped - okay, fuck.] No, no, I've got it. I think.

[Tug, tug; slosh slosh. She stops trying and briefly just stares at her backpack as if trying to process what to do next. She's in a brief period of hesitation whether to start pulling things out of it again or give up. She can't see much of anything anymore and the water's getting colder and colder.] You see anyone else around?

	[ He's getting worried, for sure. They don't have all the time in the world and even if she gets out of the store before the water rises too high, they need to make it all the way back to HQ too. That could be rough. ] Not for a while... guess everyone's out evacuatin' or still in their apartments. You lookin' for someone? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[There's a hiss and a lot of cursing before a larger plonk sound - bag abandoned.] Fuck.

Whatever. [She begins to wade toward the door, irked for wasted time but just not able to add to the tally. Her hand stretches out for him far before she gets to him - call it an instinctive response. It's then that she carries on the conversation.] No, not really. I mean I found you now and the rest of my friends are hopefully a lot smarter than I am right now in regards to flood safety.

	[ The reaching makes him reach back, pulling her in close for a tight one-armed hug. ] It ain't bad though, gettin' supplies together. Ain't no tellin' how long this'll last. We'll get hungry eventually. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Swoosh, she's close and hugging back. Cold clammy skin is a thing but she still plays with her free hand under the surface of the water, flicking it back and forth like she would in a swimming pool. Shame it's just filthy, freezing rain water or this could've been kinda fun.]

Yeah, right? Everyone packs jerky and crap for the pending apocalypse. Means I starve extra hard. [Man, they shouldn't stand here but her chin just finds a rest on his shoulder and she can't quite peel away so soon.]

	[ Yeah, they really should be going someplace where they don't have water up to their waist but he's been dying for some physical affection and now here she is. He squeezes her tightly. ] You won't starve. I promise, you're gonna be okay. Nothin' bad is gonna happen to you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She lets out a little, mostly humorless laugh, devoting both arms to the act of being wound around him.] I know, I know. I'm sure there will be beans. [Crooked smile, she looks up at him - eyes flicking to his lips. Hell, why not.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2015-06-11 10:01 pm UTC (link)
	[ There's no one around and even if there was, he wouldn't be able to not kiss her right now. So he does, a little messy and out of breath. ] If nothin' else, you can always eat me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2015-06-11 10:05 pm UTC (link)
	The most selfless blowjob endorsement ever. [Yes, she'll take it there - though cannibalism is about just as much fun to joke with. There's a nuzzle after the kiss, before she pats his chest over a wet shirt.] I could really keep doing this but maybe we can get a little higher up first, yeah? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2015-06-11 10:10 pm UTC (link)
	[ He was mostly referring to the cannibalism and maybe it wasn't entirely a joke. Shirt off his back, flesh off his body. Whatever she needs. ] Good point... let's get goin', before we're left down here to fend for ourselves. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[She pulls away, looking back into the quickly submerging store before taking his hand and wading back outside. It's already taking some effort to push forward in the water and well, it's only then - seeing the water in every direction now - that her heart skips a little beat. Brows creasing, her fingers knit into his.] ... Wow, geez.

This is bad. Like, really bad.

	redclayheroics 2015-06-11 10:20 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah... I dunno that it's ever been this bad. Maybe when that big thing with all th' tentacles was around. [ He swallows. That was a really, really bad day. ] They're not gonna kill us. We're gonna be fine. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[She sort of catches on that his reassurances - aren't definitive. And for a flickering second she feels like she's back home, talking to Shaun, Lucy, Bill. Gunning for a certain future, making reassurances like this that they'd make it. Succeed. Live a few more weeks. She swallows thickly too, squeezing his hand.]

We're gonna be fine. [She's always been good at those kind of reassurances.]

Let's... let's head to HQ?

[ Reassurance like that is what got him through some pretty scary situations back home. It's no guarantee but it makes it easier to keep a clear head. He holds her hand tightly, trying to be a rock in these murky waters as they make their way to HQ. ]

Kitty's been sendin' people up to the floatin' island. Not sure how dry it is but at least we don't have to swim.

	Haven't been up there before. The view oughta be interesting. [Hand squeeze. She looks to him though, eyes flicking over the path of her arm and his.] Not that it is super important right now but - how should we handle this? [The hand holding in a soon to be public place.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2015-06-12 07:32 am UTC (link)
	Hm? Oh... this. [ The thing they've been keeping secret because it's really exciting and also he has no idea how Euphie would handle it. Great, probably. And then he'd have more reasons to hate himself. ] I don't mind if people find out... an' I'm not gonna let go of you. Not if you don't want me to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I don't mind keeping it on the down low if that works too... [But well, wow. It's just nice to hold hands?]

We can see when we get there - we might not even have time to make eyes at one another. Though I can't really imagine what there'll be up there to do for the rest of however long we're suck in a literal fishbowl but. [Sighing, ah.] I... I'm not against staying close though.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2015-06-12 07:41 am UTC (link)
	Let's stay close, then. Maybe people won't even think about it... I mean, we're friends. That ain't ever been a secret. [ Though it would be nice to cuddle and kiss her up there, with nothing else to do. Get some comfort in this terrible situation. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Mmmmm, friends. [She says this with the widest grin because no matter what people think?

They have a thing. A cool, really functioning well for them both thing.] People have their own crap to deal with, it's true.

What if it's super cramped up there. [The closer they get to the rock itself the weirder it feels. It's pretty high up - someone better have slapped up some rails. Getting ready to go up feels a lot more like the climb on a roller coaster now. God, is it gonna be weird too? Getting up there.]

	redclayheroics 2015-06-12 08:03 am UTC (link)
	Then we'll find some debris and make ourselves a raft. [ He gives her hand another reassuring squeeze. ] Either way, we're gonna be just fine. Don't worry, I've gotten through worse. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2015-06-12 08:18 am UTC (link)
	You... have a way of keeping me calm and level headed, you know that? [Just wait 'til you ship her up into the sky and don't follow her, though. Then you will have a way of boiling over her cauldron of anger.] Dibs on your lap if there's no where to sit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
