Soaked to the bone.

[Sora is not amused. Of course his hallway, which ends in an alcove, would be one of the first to flood over halfway to door height, and his first priority has been gathering any dry blankets he can find to store on his makeshift raft, which consists of a closet door he found floating and the snapped-off headboard of his bed tied together. On the raft of course, are two unnaturally still babes wrapped in warm blankets, and both appear to be sleeping very deeply, surrounded by a dense shell of sparkling magic -- Sora has cast a non-offensive Sleep spell on baby Kira and Rikka for now as he attempts to get his bearings on this situation; he's collected many dry blankets, and will trade you one if you can find Rikka's Kitty, which has probably sunk to the floor of the DR.]

[And here comes Namine, with a baby chocobo in her hair and a younger her in her arms.]

Sora!

[earthwaterlight.livejournal.com]

[Hikari's floating along on a closet door she found near her room, waving when she sees Sora.]

Hey Sora!

[dawningcoast]

[ Riku's navigating the water with expert ease, and is heading Sora's way to assist him. Unlike the other two babies, Aden is wide-awake and perched apparently comfortably against Riku's shoulder (and would find this extremely unfair were he a bit older, since today doubles as his first birthday!)

Sora might be alarmed at the sight of them, because of the color staining Riku's shirt, and the fact that the water several inches around them... seems to not be water at all. No, it's a thick, deep red.]

Sora?

[smolderingf1re]

[if Sora's not amused, then Axel is not fucking amused. Inaya's swaddled in a blanket in her sling, which is tightened up so that she's resting across the back of Axel's shoulders; he's got a chair that he salvaged from somewhere, and has his chest braced against the seat while he kicks slowly in the water to propel himself. the water's steaming around him, and he looks annoyed and possibly in a small amount of pain.]

Sora!

[Demyx is wading through the water in the hallways. He loves water--but it really doesn't belong in the hallways! Even so, it's probaly not bothering him nearly as much as it's bothering most people. Actualy, he was purposely coming to check on you because he wanted to make sure you and your family were okay. He'll stop in the doorway, peeking in to check.]

Hey, is everything okay? [And then when he sees what your up to--] You need any help with anything?

[mamaxsky.livejournal.com]

*oh good, he was hoping that Ri would bring Namine from the stables, but that works too!*

Nami! Put her up here... I've got some dry blankets.

[mamaxsky.livejournal.com]

*he smiles when he sees Hikari and waves back*

Hikari, are you staying dry? What happened?

[mamaxsky.livejournal.com]

*sorry Riku, but Sora's first thought is -- *

RIKU OH MY GOD GET OUT OF THE WATER THE PIRANHAS ARE EATING YOUR LEGS!

[mamaxsky.livejournal.com]

*omg Axel ;; watch as this pregnant chick reaches down to you from his raft*

Axel, hand me Inaya and I'll pull you up, okay?

[mamaxsky.livejournal.com]

*Sora loves water also -- beach water, not water with random shit floating in it, but even though he's annoyed, he's still taking it pretty well; that's so kind of you Demyx, and you might just be able to see his foot kicking in the water as he dives under, looking for Rikka's stuffed cat*

[smolderingf1re]

You should be sainted, thank you.

[reaches back to loosen the sling so he can hand Inaya over without her blanket getting wet, hopefully, and then sets the chair adrift so he can cling to the edge of the raft instead.]

[dawningcoast]

[Riku's eyebrows shoot up, and then she abruptly bursts into laughter.]

There aren't any piranhas in this area, Sora.

[mamaxsky.livejournal.com]

*he takes her very gently and sets her on another soft, dry blanket, before bracing himself and digging his heels into the edge of the headboard to take your hands and pull you up to relative dryness*

Is everyone okay? Water's not a problem, but this is just a hassle.

*he's wrapping a big beach towel around your shoulders*

[earthwaterlight.livejournal.com]

[Hikari's a little damp but that was because she got rained on before she found the white and pink raincoat she's wearing.]

Well, I got rained on before I found my raincoat, but other than that, yeah...and I think the place is just being a pain in the neck again.

[She smiles a little when she sees the babies sleeping, Rikka looks so adorable when he's asleep]

[mamaxsky.livejournal.com]

*he's still flailing as he speaks*

THEN WHY ARE YOU BLEEDING. OH MY GOD I DON'T THINK THEY MAKE TAMPONS THAT CAN DEAL WITH THAT.

[mamaxsky.livejournal.com]

Do you need a towel or anything? Umbrella?

*he's got plenty of those, too! and yes, he is adorable now that he's not bawling*

[dawningcoast]

[If she didn't have a baby in her arms she would facepalm. Instead, while trying to stop her laughter, she shifts Aden.]

Calm down. It's not me. I'm not bleeding.

[smolderingf1re]

[clambers up with Sora's help, shuddering and curling into the towel, pulling Inaya over to make sure she didn't get wet.]

I don't know where Kai is, but he's practically half-fish, so I'm not too worried. I haven't seen anyone else, though.

[mamaxsky.livejournal.com]

... then what is it?

*raises an eyebrow at Aden -- oh hi birthday babby*

[mamaxsky.livejournal.com]

I don't mind the water, it's all the shit floating in it. And I don't have a swimsuit.

*should he just wrap you up in a blanket?*

I need to find something to use as kindling for tonight, but I guess that can wait. Maybe Kai found a door or something to use as a raft.

[dawningcoast]

It's Aden.

[She moves closer to the wall so she can keep herself braced from getting knocked over by the water and maneuvers Aden so that his feet touch the water.

Which blooms out red at the two points, turns into blood on contact and spreading.]

[mamaxsky.livejournal.com]

*the boy part of him thinks that's kind of cool... but also kind of disgusting*

Well. Isn't that. Something. He's like a portable interactive horror movie.

[dawningcoast]

You should have seen him when he was sitting in it.

[She thought his skin was disintegrating or something. Aden kicks his bloody little feet in the water until Riku pulls him up against her again]

[mamaxsky.livejournal.com]

*he can only imagine the cold fear*

I had a birthday cake for him, but it's probably sludge by now.

*it was shaped like a little bat, too p__q*

[dawningcoast]

[Aden found her reaction hilarious. And Riku smiles at that.]

Probably. Thanks anyway. I'm sorry you had to go through the trouble only for a spell to hit.

[Even though she's positive he'd eat cakesludge anyway.]
