[There are still parts of the Plane yet unlit, and Ryotarou is nothing if not a wanderer! And thus, he is wandering around with his flashlight, seeing if there's anything else that can be of use while everyone is trapped here.

Unfortunately, this is the precise moment his flashlight decides to flicker.] Ah...? Are the batteries dying...? [Ryotarou smacks at the flashlight a few times to try and get the light to come back on which is totally how you fix any faulty appliance! Too bad he isn't looking where he's going now... because that's a pool he just walked into with a yelp and a loud SPLASH.

... even worse is that he can't swim. SO IF ANYONE IS AROUND, FEEL FREE TO SAVE HIM. Or... point and laugh. Either works. He'll just be busy flailing and kind of sort of drowning over here.]

[Watches for a moment from the edge of the pool, before rolling her eyes and jumping in to help him.

After taking her shoes off, of course.

Oh, and Ryotarou? You may notice that she's glowing.]

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[Not really noticing anything besides the fact that he sinks like a rock at the moment, sorry. He flails when Aniki gets to him, but tries his hardest to hold still when he realizes she is attempting to help.]

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

[Manages to drag him over to the edge and puts his hands on the side of the pool.] Dribbling donkey ass what is this stuff?

[She is, of course, staring at the chlorinated water.]

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[Ryotarou clings to the edge of the pool and coughs, managing to drag himself over, then lay on the Plane-ground and cough some more. After a moment...]

The... water?

[Yuuto is still shaking off the effects of singing. Ugh. But ... someone is struggling in the pool. He rushes to the edge carefully.]

Hey, are you okay?! [He can't quite see what's going on... Oh hay, his flashlight works. He sets it so it's illuminating the surface of the water, then dives in.]

[He grabs onto the nearest flailing arm he can find and swims furiously toward the light.]

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[Said flailing arm continues for a moment until Ryotarou realizes someone is trying to help, then he stops his struggling and tries to move along with the helper.]

[Kougaiji heard that. Too bad he's not entirely sure what it was... So he makes his way in the direction of Ryotarou's yelp, a fireball lighting his way...

And when he sees Ryotarou in the pool, he puts out the fireball and jumps in after him.]

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[YAY. Ryotarou will just be over here flailing and trying to keep his head above the water.]

[onetrueprince]

[That's alright, Kougaiji manages to grab him and pull him back over to the side and out of the water.]

Are you alright?

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[Takes a moment to cough the water out and then just lay there. After a few breaths, he nods and makes an affirmative noise.] I think so...

[contract_star]

[Hei is wandering around, vaguely trying to mentally map the Plane, when he hears splashing and flailing. Fortunately he is his own flashlight and--even more fortunately!--the blue light doesn't have the hallucination-inducing effect they used to. So he glows blue and hesitates, waiting for the hallucination and blinking when it doesn't come.]

[And then he spots Ryotarou.]

Aw, hell. This is where you ended up? [Reaches down and grabs Ryotarou by both arms.] Hold on, I've got you. [He hauls Ryotarou out before Ryotarou knocks Hei in the pool with his flailing. Probably not a good idea since the glow means his electricity is being triggered :\]

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[Ryotarou, for his part, just grabs onto whoever has saved him and turns halfway to cough the water out. Almost-drowning is never fun.]

[contract_star]

[Hei sets him on his side so he can get the water up easier, and then backs away so he doesn't accidentally zap him.]

Easy, easy. You're fine.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[Eventually, enough water is expelled from his lungs that he can breathe normally, so he glances over to the glowing person nearby.]

... Hei-san?

[ram-of-gold.livejournal.com]

[Faintly golden glowing Saint wandering around. He hears the splashes and goes to see what's up.] Oh for... [He'll be grabbing your arm and fishing you out now Ryotarou. Yay for Saint strength.]

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[skndlkh! Ryotarou flails initially until he realizes he's out of the water... then coughs and tries not to fall over.]

[ram-of-gold.livejournal.com]

[Sighs and sets him down.] Are you all right?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

[...Ianto knows first hand that drowning isn't much fun. So he'll be taking off jacket, rolling up his shirt sleeves, and reaching out to grab onto one of his arms.]

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[Ryotarou flails for just a moment more until he can grab onto Ianto's arm with his other hand to try and keep his head above water, coughing and spluttering all the while.]

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

[Right now Ianto's very relieved he has a lot of experience handling with big strong animals that refuse to stay still. It makes dragging him to the side of the pool without going in the water much easier.] Stay still, and try to relax. I'll be able to get you out a lot quicker.

[What's that? Ryotarou fell in the well— I mean, pool? Deneb sees Ryotarou fall in and makes a mad dash in his direction]

Ryotarou!! [It isn't so much a dive as a run, arms-waving, into the water. He does his best to get a hold on Ryotarou.]

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[Yeah, okay. Ryotarou will just let Deneb do that while he... tries not to sink too fast or something.]

[imprettystrong.livejournal.com]

[A few moments of excessive splashing and Deneb has Ryotarou all but over his shoulder and he's working on getting both of them out and away from the pool.]
