Now it's raining more than ever - an event post!
Hello Marina. Remember those occasional showers we've been experiencing throughout this dayweek? Well, they're not stopping. At all. If anything the rain will keep on pouring well into morning of Day 327. The ground will be soft and muddy, puddles puddling all over the prison, trees and awnings dripping with the downpour... and still it won't stop.

Hope you can swim, Marinanites.

Wait, what's happening?

We're having ourselves a flooding of the rapidly increasing kind. Unlike previous floodings this one won't just result in some water damage and the occasional cold — no, this one isn't stopping. Bring out the canoes, unhook the doors from the walls, get your snorkel ready. The water will continue to steadily rise throughout the dayweek of 327, stopping just short of the Dome's ceiling come midnight. Yes, this includes the floating island. Don't get stuck there.

What if my character can't swim?

Find a floating device or, if you want to be morbid, remember that death is no longer permanent and bring on the horrifying experiences.

Opt out?

Since this is a dome-wide event, it's a tricky one to opt out of but if you're unwilling or unable to participate in the event, you can always assume that your character got through it without trouble. There's plenty of things that can be used as a raft. Maybe they found a canoe in the sports section of Bullseye?

How does this end?

Happily. By daypost on the morning of 238, all the water will be gone, everyone will wake up back in their own beds safe, sound and dry. No water damage, although you may detect more humidity in the air than normal. Perhaps the grassy areas are still a little soggy. There's no real harm done, though. Unless you drowned. That would leave some scars as well as a punishment.

Questions? Concerns?

Duo can sort of swim? I've never headcanon'd this for him. He grew up on a poor space colony, so I'm not sure what kind of swimming access he'd have. It's not explained at all in canon how he turned up on a dock early after setting his Gundam on autopilot to pull Wing out of the water when he'd been under water in the cockpit with it. So, yeah. That could be fun exploration there, and I'd be willing to plot something with someone if they want to rescue or be rescued. Something tells me he could probably end up in either situation.

Kitty knows how to swim. She's probably not an amazingly strong swimmer, so she might not be great at staying afloat in flash flood conditions or at rescuing people. But, I'm definitely up for having her rescued by someone! Does a strong swimmer wanna help her out? She can also probably phase people for a time, but she and her "passengers" would need to be able to hold their breath, so there's that limitation on it. Let me know if you're interested in anything.

Piper can swim, and doesn't fear water quite as much as her older sister did, so she'll be okay. The idea of drowning, though, is a small trigger with the Halliwell girls because that's how their mother died, but it's mostly Prue that's affected by it because she saw it happen. She'll probably get more upset as things get more dire looking. But, she can cast spells and might be able to freeze some potential washouts early on, so if anyone wants to plot out early rescues or keeping her calm later, I'm up for plotting!

Tieria can probably swim. And, even if he hasn't before, he can figure it out really fast. He also has the ability to hold his breath for really long, and has a high endurance for long term treading water. He could probably help some people out if needed. I'm open to ideas with him!
