Star 009

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

[So there are a few things to note, not the least of which is SAND EVERYWHERE, but Isaac is kinda bloody, red as a tomato, and sweating hard enough that all the sand that was caked to his face is being washed away. His clothes are damp with it. Isaac is being supported purely by his sword, but that doesn't last long as he soon keels over onto his side, breathing like a horse. He doesn't move.]

[Anyone who's played this game will share my sentiments of THAT FUCKING DESERT]

[She comes galloping over, nuzzling at his shoulder in concern.]

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

[Groans and rolls, blinking up at her through sand-crusted eyes] A..Aniki...Water?

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

Isaac!

[She will be holding you up now.]

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

Toph?

[Pulls himself into a sitting position...or tries to. His voice is weak and dry.]

Do...do you have water?

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Yeah, just hold on a sec, okay?

[She disappears for a moment and comes back with a canteen full of water. She presses it into his hand.] Drink it slowly, okay?

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

[She can't figure out how to bring him water, so she'll bring him to water instead. She tries to tug him to his feet, then lays down so he can get on her back more easily.]

[It takes him awhile and he ends up forgetting about his sword, but he gets onto her back and holds around her neck]

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

[He takes one mighty gulp, then several slower ones. He drains the canteen and then sighs deeply, laying back. He smiles a bit, but when he speaks, his voice is still rough. ]

Ahg! Thanks.

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

You're welcome, man. What the heck happened?

[his brow furrows; he usually knows better than to approach strangers, even those who appear harmless - but this isn't his world, and he looks so young, and soon Remus is kneeling beside him, wand out, murmuring] Can you hear me?

((that fucking dessert indeed))

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

Evil desert. We're close to the last Oasis, but Ivan collapsed. Garet went ahead with him...left me with Mia, but she passed out too...Don't have the strength to carry her...

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

[It takes Isaac a moment to respond, but he nods, shifting to look at Remus with sand-caked eyes.]

Do..you have water?

[allstrings.livejournal.com]

[Thankfully I never had the patience to get even that far, huzzah! Jolyne is hovering nearby, looking worried.] Hey, you alright?

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

Well look, just stay here till you get your strength back, alright? Don't push yourself.

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

[Smiles and allows himself to relax]

Wasn't planning on going far.

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

Water....

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

Good. Cause I wasn't planning on letting you.

[allstrings.livejournal.com]

[Not exactly having access to an easily-accessible water source back home at the moment, Jolyne will instead be unraveling part of her arm and reforming it into a makeshift basket. She will then be filling said basket with water from the Plane kitchen and offering it to Isaac.] Sorry, this is the best I can do right now.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

[Sees him and immediately drops from the Plane, coming back a moment later with a container full of water which she hands to Isaac.]

Drink it slowly, young one.

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

[He gulps a mouthful eagerly, then slows, sinking back to the ground and almost coming back to life right in front of her.]

Ahh...thank you!

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

[Lies back down, his arms sprawled out.] I don't think I could go anywhere right now, even if I wanted to.

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

[Cue the Hallelujah chorus. Isaac drinks deeply and splashes the dregs of it on his face, looking infinitely more alive when all is said and done.]

Thank you!

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

Are you close to the end of the desert, at least? Man, I hate deserts...my friends and I almost died in one before.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

You're very welcome, Isaac. But what in the world happened to you?

[oncemarauder.livejournal.com]

[after a second, he nods, pulling a flask from his robes and raising his wand, murmuring] Aquamenti. [a jet of cool, clean water erupts from the tip and spills into the flask, and he hands it to Isaac]
