Fifty-fifth rebirth [Video]

[death_begins]

[See Yuca.

Absolutely drenched, panicked, and alternating between trying to speak to the PCD and trying to gather up as many books as he can.

He's in the church, according to the background, and from the looks of things, the water level is rising.]

I know- I know everyone has their own tasks, and- and everyone is trying to help, but- [He shakes his head, picking up another bible. It slips right out of his hands, and Yuca makes a desperate grab for it before it falls straight into the water with a mournful little splash.]

-the church's structural integrity is already compromised. With this rain- the wood could rot further, the roof could fall in at any moment, and I-

[He sloshes through the water, stumbling, trying to hold onto the small amount of text he'd managed to save from the water.]

-I'm trying to save some of the books, but- someone- please-

[Yuca bites his lip, pausing for a moment to watch the screen. His hair is plastered to his face, clothing clinging to his body, making him shiver, teeth chattering violently.]

M-Michael-

[Another pause, before- no, that would be asking too much- and he shuts off the feed.]

Yuca! Get out of there-

I'll rebuild it, just get out!

You can't reconstruct this- it's not-

[He shakes his head, still a little panicked.]

I'll be fine, I'm staying away from the weak points-

[It's church and Michael that ping her most. Rain doesn't bother her, but it was... definitely a problem everywhere else in the city.]

Is it just the books? [She would just.. pop in, but giving someone a heart attack on top of everything else seems a little mean.]

voice;

[neverquitedies.livejournal.com]

The building-

[His voice is loud to be heard over the rain and the leaks in the roof, but it's still somehow soft with hurt.]

The water is going to rot the wood. Even after the storm-

[exarmatio]

No, don't-- You'll drown or get crushed or--!

[Video]

[neverquitedies.livejournal.com]

Stop. I'm doing the best I can, Negi.

[What is his life even.]

Do you need a place to keep them?

[Because that is all he can do.]

[Video]

[neverquitedies.livejournal.com]

The- the roof is leaking. If you have a dry space, maybe...

[law-of-reason.livejournal.com]

[Sometimes, he's still surprised at how irrational Yuca is.

Which doesn't keep him from asking-]

What do you need?

[Private | Unhackable]

[neverquitedies.livejournal.com]

Nothing, really.

Consider it an experiment.

[You know what's great about being a vampire? You can't drowned. Horst is a decent swimmer, and he gets there not too long after Yuca's post.]

Lovely weather we're having, isn't it?

[Offline]

[neverquitedies.livejournal.com]

Horst-

[He nods.]

Help me- the books, they're all getting ruined-

[anicereprieve.livejournal.com]

[Van Helsing sees no value in books, so he's looking amused.] Bet that's upsetting.

[neverquitedies.livejournal.com]

Don't mock me- sir.

[He's trying not to be angry, but the stress is making him sound a little harsh.]

Everyone has things that are important to them.

Please send me your coordinates. I wish to assist you. I can bring a small raft to maneuver around with, but I can use it support the books, too, if you wish. I can also protect them with a kido spell.

[ She doesn't even seem affected by all this rain really. ]

Don't bother, Nemu. He doesn't actually require help.

More importantly, the lab is flooding again.

[bunny_flower]

Yuca-san, do you need help?

[neverquitedies.livejournal.com]

A few people are coming- thank you.

[ff_red_turk]

[Guess who's coming in through a window a few minutes later, Yuca?]

[Offline]

[neverquitedies.livejournal.com]

[WOAH DUDE have you ever helped him out before?

He just sort of stares for a few moments, before swallowing hard and nodding.]

Vincent- there's- there's more upstairs, but the wood is rotted through- in the rain, the floor might collapse.

[verlorenscasket.livejournal.com]

[The church is in trouble? Oh no!]

What do you need?

[neverquitedies.livejournal.com]

Just- a hand, maybe- some people are coming, but-

[The water level is rising.]

[The thing about angels was that if you spoke their name to them, needing their help, they could hear it practically anywhere. Even at Adstringendum this seemed to hold true, at least for Michael, as he appears without warning just outside the building and enters, not at all bothered by the rain or the apparently dangerous ceiling.]

Hello, Yuca. You sounded panicked.

[Offline]

[neverquitedies.livejournal.com]

I-

[He turns to face him, gasping a little in surprise, before nodding. They'd never really met in person before. The normalcy of the angel was astounding.]

Michael- you didn't- I shouldn't have called for you-

[You said the magic words "save the books". That has Raven picks up her PCD and then, she sees Yuca.]

Yuca? Are you okay? [Her eyes widen as he stumbles and she thinks he's gonna fall down into the water.] Are there other books you need to get out of there?

[Video]

[neverquitedies.livejournal.com]

I'm- some people are helping me.

[He bites his lip.]

Offline okay?

[golden_hawke]

-=He's tired, but he'll help another in danger. Books are important to humans; the equivilant to the Naming Tree and the walls back home in the mountain. So he'll start heading to the church to make certain something could be saved, even if it's a waterlogged man that looks too cold to be safe.=-

[Yuca will be there! Sloshing around, trying to get the books out and away from the leaks in the roof.]

[kill-joo-ded.livejournal.com]

[Killua is stuffing an inordinate amount of sheets over a lump on his bed when he speaks up.]

Why're you still there if the roof's about to fall?

[video]

[neverquitedies.livejournal.com]

There are- important things.

[LIKE BIBLES AND STUFF.]

[Video]

[crux-ofmylife.livejournal.com]

I'll help you, if you still need it.

[Video]

[neverquitedies.livejournal.com]

I- I think I might be alright. Tentatively.

[He swallows hard.]

I'm sorry- who is this?

[Video]

[dark-thespian.livejournal.com]

If you still need a dry space for them, I have plenty of room here.

[Video]

[neverquitedies.livejournal.com]

It's- it's dry?

[video]

[swordsinside.livejournal.com]

Yer gonna catch your death like that.

[video]

[neverquitedies.livejournal.com]

I'll be alright.
