[Damon desperately needs a very strong drink after the past few days. The only problem? The bar is surrounded by water. He attempts to get across via a few wooden crates, but his dress robe isn't very helpful. So he falls, of course, and attempts to trudge through the water, trying to ignore that hungry growling!

It's only when he hears the roar that he panics -- he doesn't know how to fight, he can't even see the creature, he's going to die again, he wants to go home...and then he disappears from the Plane.

He reappears a few moments later a safe distance out of the water, still looking very wet, panicked, and highly confused]

I thought we were trapped here. And what...what was that thing?

[When she heard the roar, Leela started to run. She drew her knife but stopped, confused, when Damon disappeared. And it could only be Damon. It had been a long time since she'd seen his face - and she'd never seen it on the Plane - but his voice was familiar. Very familiar.]

I don't know.

[She moved to edge of the water, peering in with a slight frown. Beneath the surface, it was still and silent.]

It is gone, for now.

[Damon blinks when he notices her peering into the water] Leela? Can you...can you see again?

[anoblesavage.livejournal.com]

[At that, Leela smiled broadly. The answer was probably obvious, but she stilled turned away from the water to look at him.]

Braxiatel found a way to repair them.

[Damon practically beams -- this news is far more important than the fact that he was nearly eaten just now, after all] Really? That's wonderful! How did he manage it, if you don't mind me asking?

[anoblesavage.livejournal.com]

They were called nanobots. [And, although Braxiatel explained what they did, the only thing she really understood - the only thing that really mattered - was that they had worked.]

[Arthur is used to saving flailing idiots. He does travel with Merlin after all~ So he pulls out his sword and was just about to try to jump in to save the flailing idiot - but he stops and blinks as he watches Damon drop from the Plane and reappear again.]

[Arthur puts his sword away and tries to think of going home, but nothing happens. He stares at Damon suspiciously]

I thought the same, and it appears we still are, except for you. [he approaches Damon] Why is it you can return home when no one else can?

[doctorsfanboy.livejournal.com]

[shakes his head, before attempting to wring the water out of his sleeves] I don't know, I haven't been able to before now. I would say that perhaps someone didn't want me to die, but considering I've died here before...I find that highly unlikely.

[destinedking.livejournal.com]

[his suspicions are not going away, Damon!]

Crossing that water would be an incredibly stupid risk to take for someone who didn't have the assurance of being able to pull themselves away from this place. Your ability to return home came to you at what seems the most convenient moment.

[doctorsfanboy.livejournal.com]

[it's okay, he's used to dealing with people who are suspicious of him. See icon. :|b]

I honestly didn't know there was anything in the water when I attempted to cross it. It isn't usually there in the first place. [he pauses, a bit embarrassed] Not that I frequent the bar on a regular basis, of course.

[destinedking.livejournal.com]

[poor thing *pets him* now he has to deal with another prat]

You weren't suspicious in the least of water appearing mysteriously out of nowhere after countless monsters have terrorized us for weeks?

[he's learned suspicion well from his daddy~]

[onehundredbeers]

[Nathan, from Over There, sees this, and attempts to leave the plane immediately.

It doesn't work. Now he is mad.

He crosses his arms and glares at Damon from over here.]

Hey. Fuck you!

[doctorsfanboy.livejournal.com]

[Damon stares at the very angry person] I'm sorry, did I do something wrong?

[onehundredbeers]

You went home, you douchebag! I know what going home looks like!

[doctorsfanboy.livejournal.com]

[he has no idea what "douchebag" means, but he's guessing it isn't good] I didn't know that would happen! I simply wished I could go home instead of being eaten, and then...I was there.

[onehundredbeers]

I hate you. Okay? I hate you.

Damon! [Jamie unsheathes his sword, running towards what he thinks is the source of that growl, only to come skidding to a stop when Damon blinks off the Plane. He stares in astonishment for a few seconds before noticing the growl is still there - and much closer now. Looking down, he realizes he's run into the water. Luckily there's a crate right next to him and he leaps up onto it, bobbling for a moment but managing to retain his balance.]

Stay back! It's still in here!

[doctorsfanboy.livejournal.com]

Jamie! [Damon feels horribly guilty for putting him in this situation, and terrified that his friend will be eaten, but then he has an idea] Jamie, don't move. I'm going to get some things from the kitchen, alright?

[bonnypiperlad]

[Damon shouldn't feel guilty, really. If it was a cliff, Jamie would've fallen off of it and then wound clinging to the edge. It's just something that he seems prone to. Meanwhile, the growling noise comes right up to the edge of the crate and something churns up the water nearby. Jamie tightens his grip on his sword and looks down nervously at the water.]

A-aye. I'll not go anywhere. Just...hurry, will ye?

[doctorsfanboy.livejournal.com]

[Damon does hurry, and returns quickly, carrying some meat from the kitchen with gloved hands.] I'm going to attempt to lure the monster away from you. When it attacks the meat, try to get to safety as fast as you can.

[and with that, he starts dropping meat into the water]

[bonnypiperlad]

[Jamie nods, still looking uncertain, but he sheathes his sword. Faced with tasty-meat-snack-on-a-crate and tasty-meat-snacks-in-the-water, the invisible creature goes after the ones in the water. As soon as it's far enough away, Jamie starts jumping from crate to crate. The sword is a little unbalancing at first, but he compensates quickly enough and makes it safely to the water's edge. There's a few inches of water between his last crate, though. He jumps and falls into the water with a splash. Fear is a really good incentive, though, and he scrambles out of the water before the creature can get to him.]

Phew! That was closer than I would have liked. Thank ye, Damon.

[bit_impossible]

[the Doctor actually has brandished his sword to fight off what's there long enough for Damon to get away, but he blinks, confused, when Damon disappears]

We are still trapped here. What did you do just now?

[doctorsfanboy.livejournal.com]

[frowns] I went home. It's very odd...I haven't been able to do that before.

[bit_impossible]

Yes, but... how? I've been trying to since we first arrived here! Did you make a choice, Damon?

[doctorsfanboy.livejournal.com]

I don't know how, Doctor. And I don't recall making a choice. [sighs] I wonder if it's just me...

[bit_impossible]

[frowns] Has anything else been going on? I mean, besides finding a means home and encountering an invisible creature in the water.
