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. ]

Closed to Michiru

[ Haruka doesn't swim much, preferring to watch Michiru in her natural element when they end up at the beach. But it doesn't seem like she has a choice today if she wants to get around.

Unless she goes and gets herself a conveyance.

So now she's found herself, transformed and doggedly pressing forward through sheer stubbornness, attempting to weather Sector 1. Areas with more buildings were easier - Sailor Uranus has no problem jumping from rooftop to rooftop - but here....here, there was an ocean already. Still, kayaks float. If there were any in the fitness center, shouldn't they be around...? ]

Shoot.

[ The piece of driftwood she's been using for balance gets knocked out of Uranus's hand by a sudden swell; she goes under, gasping water where she needs air, and comes up sputtering. Beneath the water, she kicks off her boots. It's not enough, is it? She has to find something else to cling to, and fast.

After all her talk about loving "the ocean", this is not how she's gonna go. ]

[Neptune had gone to help others the best that she could. She probably one of the best of the soldiers for this particular environment, given that it was her element and she was a strong swimmer.

She was making the rounds around the dome when she finally made her away back over where she had left Uranus. And of course she makes it just in time to see that Uranus was struggling. She swam right over, lacing an arm around Uranus to try and keep her up]

[ ...Well, this is definitely a thing she could cling to. Slightly self-conscious that Neptune caught her at a bad moment, Uranus smiles - but she can't hide her gratitude, nor would she want to. ] Couldn't mind your own business?

[ This isn't a tenable situation, though, so she looks around. The last thing she wants to do is end up as nothing but Neptune's ballast. That's a waste of her partner's abilities. ]

	[Neptune was more concerned that she had caught Uranus in a moment of drowning] No, I suppose I couldn't. There's a kayak I found not too far away. Do you think you can make it there? [She was a strong enough swimmer that she could help her stay up and even swim over to the location where she had put the kayak so it wouldn't float away so easily] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ Uranus searches for said kayak and thinks she sees something bobbing in the waves. She can make that, she thinks - she's tired, but it shouldn't be too bad....

Then again, the water's getting choppier. She shrugs off Neptune's arm to begin to swim again. ] Hold the boat.

[ That will keep her partner near while still assuaging her own pride. The Wardens better have not done this to the dome on purpose....And, for that matter, the water better stop rising before it replaces all the air. ]

	Of course. [Neptune takes off swimming to get to the boat. She had the feeling that Uranus wanted to save some of her pride. She'd let her do that, but she'd still be close enough to help. When she reaches the boat, she helps hold it in place so Uranus can get to it] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	actsmagnificent 2015-06-23 03:11 am UTC (link)
	[ And in Uranus clambers, not minding her bare feet. Once she's in, she looks for a paddle and is relieved to find the boat hadn't floated off without one. All right. This is feasible. She can breathe now. She calms herself before she speaks again. ] There isn't a leak, is there? [ It's just rain? ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	oceans_requiem 2015-06-23 06:19 pm UTC (link)
	[Neptune pulls herself up slightly to rest for a moment against the boat, looking up at Uranus] It seems like it is just rain. I haven't seen anything that would indicate this is a leak. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	And there's not likely to be a control room. [ Here in the virtual reality, anyway. Whether this is on purpose or not, it's probably run one level of existence up from their current situation. ] Where's Naiad? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	oceans_requiem 2015-06-23 11:04 pm UTC (link)
	No, I wouldn't think so. At least not one we'd be able to go to. She's over there. [And there might be a floating box nearby. Hearing her name, the eevee pops her head up, damp, but no worse for wear otherwise] She can probably sit with you now. [Neptune moves to push the box closer so that Naiad can join Uranus] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	actsmagnificent 2015-06-23 11:07 pm UTC (link)
	[ Come here, squirt. Uranus lifts the Eevee out of her box, placing her within the kayak. ] So we're waiting it out. [ She can't do much else while they have a little one to look after anyway, huh. One thing at a time, and the first order of business is getting the Eevee somewhere safe. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	oceans_requiem 2015-06-23 11:48 pm UTC (link)
	[Naiad immediately scrambles into the kayak with her and curls up in as much of a sheltered spot as she can find] I don't think we have much choice. Most of the buildings are getting covered up and it doesn't seem like it is going to stop soon. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What's the tallest building here? [ The floating island, huh. They should make for the floating island. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

The tallest building? The floating island. I know they've already started to evacuate people here, but Naiad didn't seem to want to stay there alone.

[Hopefully she'd stay there now that Uranus would be there. Neptune is still holding onto the side of the boat. She looked completely soaked, but given that she was swimming most of the time, she didn't seem to care]

[ Poor kiddo. Uranus looks down at the Eevee. All this must be even more confusing for those who have never known anything else.... ] I'll take her there.

[ And then, a smile for her partner. Work together or divide and conquer? Either way, she's proud to have a partner who can rise to this particular occasion so well. Neptune is literally in her element. It's...very attractive. ] You look lovely.

Thank you. I know she'd appreciate that.

[The poor eevee looked a little waterlogged, but she still wagged her tail when Uranus looked over at her. Neptune was expecting that she was going to be doing this alone. She really was the one Senshi who was in her element here. But she still was surprised at what Uranus chose to say. She smiled, brushing her hair back]

Oh, thank you.

[ Uranus holds that smile in place for another moment - the only moment she can spare given the crisis - then returns to being all business.

Mostly. Her eyes are still lit up. ] Meet you at the island?

[ It doesn't even sting to admit that Neptune is more useful out and about helping others than she is. Though if her partner wanted to stick together, she wouldn't say no to that, either. ]

	[Neptune smiled before nodding] Yes, I'll meet you there. It shouldn't be too much longer. It doesn't seem like there are many people still out here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	actsmagnificent 2015-06-27 05:43 pm UTC (link)
	[ Uranus's chin dips. ] Be careful. [ She isn't worried about Neptune's swimming chops - just about whatever else might be floating around in here, making the waters treacherous. But her partner will be all right. She believes in Neptune. The paddle dips into the water. Eevee, party of 1, taking off. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	oceans_requiem 2015-06-27 10:00 pm UTC (link)
	I will. You as well. [And as they start off, Neptune will head off again] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Away they go. Uranus will make sure Naiad is brought to safety. ] (Reply to this) (Parent)
