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. ]

[Tieria had better endurance and strength than most, but actual swimming skill was a tad bit lacking. It wasn't elegant or graceful, but he could stay afloat and was able to help some others in the process, as long as he didn't have to fight a strong current or navigate around too many hazards.

After helping someone to safety, he had gone back out to see if he could find anyone else, and ended up in one such place. Now, as the area settled into slightly calmer waters, he managed to find a wooden beam to cling to while trying to catch his breath.]

Your robots didn't wash away, did they?

[ Haruka has an inflatable kayak. Or, more accurately, Sailor Uranus has an inflatable kayak - she's tiring, and will need to change back soon, but considering that she risked the sector with an ocean already in it to fetch this thing, she'd needed all the extra boosts to her physical abilities she could get.

Is this a tacit admission to Tieria that Uranus and Haruka are the same person? They can think about that junk later. For now, here she is.

She's on a boat. ]

[He looked up at her. He'd had his suspicions after a few of their conversations with her in each form, but this kind of confirmed it. She'd never seen the robots in this form, so how else would she know about them?

Though, of course, the Haros weren't exactly secret, but their association with him was less known since they tended to spend more time with Lyle.

Speaking of...]

They are watertight, and likely with Lyle.

[He reached out from his branch to grab on to the side of her kayak, visibly favoring his right arm. He floundered a little, but managed to catch hold without tipping her over. Kayaks weren't the most stable of water-going vessels.]

	[ Uranus steadies the craft as best she can, watching - there'll be room for two, assuming he can get into the kayak okay. The way he's using his arms, though. Suspect. ] Don't rush yourself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[It wasn't easy to do this one handed, especially without something to brace his feet on, but he eventually managed. The arm wasn't completely useless, but it was clear he was having trouble. He got himself into a sitting position, his back against hers, and then worked on catching his breath as he held his arm to rest his shoulder.]

Thank you...

[It wasn't often he expressed gratitude, but a situation like this definitely warranted it.]

	Is anyone else around here? [ Don't mention it. It's noted, but she also figures thanking people is as hard for him as it is for....well, she has a hunch it's hard for him. So Uranus isn't going to push it. Besides. Potentially life or death crisis here. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Not that I saw once the current stopped carrying me. I was attempting to locate others, but anyone I might have been close to when the water hit that area... [Well, they were either drowned or in a different area from him.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	actsmagnificent 2015-06-22 01:57 pm UTC (link)
	[ Uranus nods: that's something they can't help. ] People are sticking together. [ Aside from her out here in her kayak, apparently, but that's just how she rolls. She dips her paddle into the water and begins trying to cut a path back towards where she last saw inmates gathering. She can drop this guy off there. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

That is good.

[Except him, too. But he supposed that he was pretty much going to be stuck now. There was no more heading out to help others at this point for him.

But that was okay. He'd done what he could while he could. He sighed a little.

Damn it. He hated feeling useless. He should have been paying attention. Instead, he got himself into trouble, and now he couldn't do anymore for help.]

[ Uranus hears that sigh but doesn't pursue it. If he's feeling what she suspects, she knows that feeling and it's best not touched. Besides, it's none of her business either way.

She'll tire out before they can make it back to full safety at this rate, though - the dome puts pressure on her when she's transformed - so while she paddles in silence there's a flurry of rose petals and then it's Haruka Tenoh at the helm. Instantly she feels much better.

Surprise! ]

	[The rose petals caught him by surprise, but his hunch was most definitely confirmed now.] Interesting. Do you do that often? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	actsmagnificent 2015-06-24 02:26 pm UTC (link)
	[ Oh boy, this conversation. And they're stuck together, so Haruka could only avoid this conversation by refusing to answer. This discussion's not that bad, just...not really his concern. Except she gets why he might be curious. She keeps paddling. ] When it's necessary. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trial_by_veda 2015-06-24 08:21 pm UTC (link)
	What is it? [Concern or not, he was curious. Though, if she told him to back off and stop asking, he probably would at the moment. It wasn't like they were fighting or something.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Haruka laughs. ] Nosy guy. [ Nah, this kind of affects him. He witnessed more than most people did during her dream. So her eyes stay fixed on the waters ahead, but her mouth keeps going - after a pause. ] It's my solar system's self-defense plan. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Our mission is to defend our planet from outside invaders. [ This does not answer Tieria's question. But it is the most important part. So Haruka said it instead. ] I can't stay here too long.

[ It's already been months.....

She may not have intended to say that last part out loud, either. She hasn't said it point-blank to anyone, since with Michiru, it doesn't need to be said. ]

	None of us can. [For a moment, Tieria almost thought that sounded familiar, both the need to get out and the whole extraterrestrial lifeforms.] Outside invaders. [The dialogs to come.] Do you get a lot of those? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	actsmagnificent 2015-07-05 01:36 am UTC (link)
	[ Haruka laughs, but it's not amused laughter. ] One is too many. [ One that nested unbeknownst to them for years, and then one that their Princess ended up befriending. Not the greatest track record - but the world was saved both times, and that's what matters. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[He nodded.]

I can understand that sentiment.

[He sighed, brushing at the rain dripping down from his hair to his nose. Not that it helped, his hand was wet, too. He looked up, blinking and squinting against the rain. He'd lost his glasses when he got washed away earlier.]

Everyone is meeting at the floating island, yes?

[His shoulder was starting to ache something fierce, and he was going to have to get the weight of his arm off it soon.]

	actsmagnificent 2015-07-07 02:01 pm UTC (link)
	[ Haruka was about to make some noncommittal comment like "we're getting there" or "it's the highest place", but. He really isn't in great shape, huh. So she starts paddling a little faster. ] It better not rise much higher. [ They'd run out of ground if that happened. They would also come that much closer to running out of dome. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It does not look like it is going to stop any time soon.

[He was doubtful they were going to get a rest from this. As daunting as that idea might be. He shifted carefully, wincing and trying not to tip the boat, and managed to cross his good arm under the bad one to try and carry the weight.]

I do apologize for not being able to help...

[With the paddling. He actually felt a little bad about that.]

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	actsmagnificent 2015-07-08 02:11 pm UTC (link)
	[ Ah yes, the dutiful guy. Haruka shrugs. ] We've only got the one paddle anyway. [ She'd feel the same way in his position, but she hasn't quite worked her way around to realizing that consciously. Still, no grudge is held. ~~For this~~. ...and that sure is a lot of debris in the way up ahead. Great. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trial_by_veda 2015-07-09 12:10 am UTC (link)
	[He felt like she was pointing that out just so he didn't feel as bad. Part of him felt annoyed, but part of him felt relieved that she made that a point. It did help a little. For now, facing backwards on the boat, he didn't see the upcoming debris field, so he was just going to close his eyes for now and try to wait this out.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	actsmagnificent 2015-07-09 02:26 am UTC (link)
	[ This is going to be fun. Haruka grits her teeth and lifts the paddle higher, the better to push off against things. ] Grab onto something. [ She can't guarantee they won't get jostled. But she's determined to keep them from getting upset. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trial_by_veda 2015-07-09 02:47 am UTC (link)
	Hm? [He opened his eyes again. So much for that... He used his good hand to grip the side of the boat and keep himself balanced as well as he could. This thing was inflatable, right? He was hoping it wasn't prone to puncture. He wondered if he should try giving a few pieces a push away.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
