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

[bamfsecretary]

{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:}

{Best not!son ever ;3;}

It was ridiculously fluffy, like yours. And you're both roughly the same height.

And yes, I'm feeling fine, if only a little emotional.

{And exhausted. But at least she's not worrying?}

[Action] <3

[freezetheskies]

[He tries. Really, he does.

Also, not paying attention to that first bit. Fluffy and short? fiiiine. He'll just ignore that.]

Then rest. I don't we're going anywhere else today.

[Said with a glance out the doors, where the storm is still crashing down. What a mess...]

[Action]

[bamfsecretary]

{She'll just. Lean against him a little.}

Not with that weather.

{That was the tiniest of yawns concealed at the end of her sentence.}

[Action]

[freezetheskies]

[...Momthing he is not a pillow. Please don't fall asleep on him. He's already looking for a nurse so someone can get you to bed.]

Hopefully it runs its course faster than the blizzard did. Three days of this is likely to be more trouble than we can handle.

{She is not going to fall asleep on him, she'd crush him! Gosh.}

I doubt it will go on much longer - Team Rocket can't hide Suicune forever. {Nanao used YAAAAWN!}

Perhaps I am a little exhausted.

[Action]

[freezetheskies]

[Not really; she's pretty light and he can dodge. Only he wouldn't...doesn't want her to hurt herself, after all.]

Considering the other damages they caused, it wouldn't surprise me if they actually could. I doubt they care about this kind of mess.

[Also, she's getting a look and--yep. He finally manages to get a nurse over, one who's bringing a wheelchair and telling them where to find a room to get some sleep. Will she take the offer or is he going to have to make her?]

[Action]

[bamfsecretary]

{A-awww, sonthing...}

Who knows what they think.... {Hey, she knows when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em.} Coming?

[Action]

[freezetheskies]

[What? He sucks at showing it, but he does care. Why else would he get so annoyed when she gets into trouble?

Also, that's a nod and he hops from the bench once she's in the wheelchair. The nurse did mention several beds had been put into each room, so it looks like neither is leaving the other's sight for some time...not that he minds much, at this point.]

[bamfsecretary]

{She is quite happily wheeled to a room with two beds in it, and scrambles onto one of the beds with a minimum of difficulty, Azrael following her carefully.}

Aaah, that's better.

[Action]

[freezetheskies]

[He watches her move like that for a moment, then shakes his head and sits on the other bed, tugging off his shoes as he does so. Clearly, she's recovering well. That's a relief.]

Then sleep as much as you can. Something tells me we'll need the energy before this is over.

[Of course they'll probably wake up with the power being out since their luck is just that crappy and they'll have nothing to do but sit in the dark, but still. Principle of the matter.]

[Action]

[bamfsecretary]

{She is just all c: in her pile of blankets.}

You don't have to tell me twice.

{And then she's literally asleep, just like that.}

{Her Absol just. Stares. Momma, what you do..?}
