Video function's still acting screwy.

I'm staying in the Violet Center but I'd like to mention to ANYONE still dumb enough to be out in this weather that you should get somewhere with shelter NOW. .... and that 'dumb' part only applies to people who aren't actually STUCK (but totally will be soon if you stay out there), sorry dudes, I know YOU guys can't help it.

James... I'm sure you're still in Cherrygrove and aren't enough of a dumbass to leave now, but if you get this message, sit tight, all right? It's bad out there.

_{[Heather doesn't need to lose the only member of that 'secret club'.]}



... Anyway, I'M going out. Otacon, buddy, don't say a word.

If any of you are on Route 31 close to the city, tell me and I'll try to get to you.

If you're still multiple days away, though, your best option might be to hang tight and wait.

Bringing rope and umbrellas, and possibly makeshift flotation devices.

Hope to see some of you guys soon.

Hey, careful's my middle name. I'll be fine.

I'm sorry for implying you wouldn't be!

Be careful, okay?

[foolishwren]

I will. Don't worry, my main objective is definitely not 'drowning'.

[restardom.livejournal.com]

I'd be worried if it was!

Will do. And don't worry-- I'm keeping my Pokegear in a plastic bag this time so it doesn't get wet.

Try not to get hurt.

[Sora is... just about at Union Cave by now; he passed the pokémon center, but doesn't want to take up space there unless it becomes absolutely necessary. A cave does just fine.]

[voice-- it's a bit garbled and fizzly because her Pokegear got wet the other day.]

[foolishwren]

I'll do my best.

[voice-- poor Heather :C]

[travelbycandy.livejournal.com]

I hope you manage to help some people. Being stuck out here sucks.

There is no way I'm going outside in this weather. So you don't need to worry about me.

But you know, you should stay inside too.

[foolishwren]

Good.

I would, but there's a lot of people stuck. I wanna at least help them if I can.

I'd rather go out looking than just sit in the Center uselessly. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing.

You're going out there?

[voice-- it's a bit garbled and fizzly because her Pokegear got wet the other day.]

[foolishwren]

Yeah. I can't stand sitting around listening to transmissions of people stuck in the middle of this-- not to mention it seems like some people are missing in action.

I really do not wanna hear about bodies being found after this flood subsides.

[savethefarron.livejournal.com]

If they're farther out than you've got covered, you tell me. I'm on my way back.[Kind of.]

[foolishwren]

Will do. There's some poor girl stuck on a tree somewhere, but it's too far away for me to reach.

If you see her, I bet she'd appreciate the help.

You stay safe too, though, okay?

[Pete had decided to head out on his own to see if anyone needed any help, when he saw Heather putting together her raft.]

Y'know, shipbuilding isn't my area of expertise, but I'm pretty sure that's not gonna stay afloat for very long.

[foolishwren]

_{[Sure 'nuff, Heather was traipsing around the water's edge (which had grown disturbingly since yesterday...) and dragging branches downed by the storm into a vaguely-organized pile. When Pete spoke, Heather jumped, dropping the armful she'd collected.]}

Jesus fu- ... ffh. _{[COMPOSURE, COMPOSURE. Deep breath. She looked over her shoulder at the superhero-turned-normal dude]}

Don't need it to stay afloat so much as be a general assortment of connected things to stand on and-or hang onto so that I'm saved the trouble of having to wade the whole way. I'm not going far from the city-- just seeing if anybody on the outskirts needs help.

_{[... But he was pretty much right. Aaaand she knew it. So, nudging the dropped sticks over to the pile with one rainboot-clad foot, she folded her arms.]}

Got any tips?

[walking-the-cat.livejournal.com]

Shouldn't you stay inside too?

[foolishwren]

Nah. I know what I'm doing and I'd rather help some people than sit tight in the Center and be useless.

Don't worry. I'll be back.

[wieldswindwaker.livejournal.com]

Many in trouble?

[Link is concerned and a little surprised. Should he be out getting people? He hasn't seen anyone on Route 32 so far.]

[foolishwren]

From what I've been hearing, yeah. There's people around who are stranded, an the terrain between Violet City and Cherrygrove is pretty big...

Don't get sick or lost yourself.

Don't worry, I don't plan to.
