6th book; up a creek without a boat or paddle {video/action} (dated to the 10th)

{So, how bout those hideous weather conditions? Pretty bad time to be at the beach, don't you think?}

{Isn't it a pity that Nanao's house is literally just next to the beach... And the feed shows her staring despondently at the waves lapping at the top of the hastily-erected sandbag wall in front of her porch. A baby Absol is curled on her lap, whimpering unhappily.}

I suppose that even I know when it is more prudent to retreat than to keep fighting.

{Wheeling back inside, it seems that most of the movable furniture has been taken upstairs, but the upright piano sits defiantly in the middle of a bare room. Too big to be taken upstairs, and too unwieldy to really be moved, there is little chance of it surviving the flood. The light flickers overhead.}

I would really appreciate a hand in leaving, given that I'm stuck in a wheelchair, and my lone Water-type is too young-- {A massive crash of lightning rattles the windows, and the light finally gives up the ghost and dies, leaving the room dark.} ...well.

Help would be wonderful, the sooner the better.


{OOC: She'll be replying to video tags ICly an hour later, but action tags would be absolutely fabulous c:}

YES!

{Wheeling out onto the porch is hard when there's half a foot of water in the house.} Over here!

[France moves forward with a pat to Cecilia's side. The Milotic pulls up aside the porch, France vaulting off from his position astride her to land with a splash in the water a few feet from Nanao. He moves over, hands out and ready to lift her from the seat.]

Is the wheelchair able to be collapsed?

[He also wants to ask how she ended up in the wheelchair, but that can wait for later.]

{Her hands lace around his neck - it's a good thing she's really light.}

No, leave it - I can get another.

[He lifts her from the chair with a brief nod, transferring her to Cecelia's back. Climbing on behind her, France reaches out to hold onto the Milotic's sides as she disengages from the side of the house to head back to the hotel.]

It's a shame about your house.

Thank you - I hope something will be salvageable...

{Gently patting Cecelia's back.} My only water-type at the moment is a baby Feebas, and I didn't want to put her through this.

[France twists slightly on Cecelia's back to look back at the house. It's in such a nice location, and he's been a little envious of it up until now. When he speaks, his sympathy is sincere.]

I hope the rain stops before it does any lasting damage to it.

[He smiles a little at the mention of the Feebas.]

As Feebas, they require a lot of gentle and loving handling. This is not situation for anyone, let alone such a delicate creature.

Thank you, I appreciate the sentiment.

Indeed it is not - and thank you for the advice.
