[There's water. Lots of water and splashing and crying and gurgling. Luffy's Aipom just yells into the PokeGear.]

AAAAIIIIIII!!!!!

AHH!!! I CAN'T SWIIIIMMM!!!

[And as Luffy washes his way down Route 30. Sure, it's not that deep, but Luffy is an genius, as well as still little, and thus... struggling to stay upright.]


[[ooc: Commentlogs welcome for anyone around Route 30/Cherrygrove! Luffy needs a rescue anyway!]]

[GRABS LUFFY'S HAND AND PULLS]

What are you doing out here all by yourself?

[audio. btw :(]

[top-hat-trash.livejournal.com]

[Sabo's growing terrified for his brother's safety. He knows Luffy can't swim. At all.]
WHY THE HELL AREN'T YOU WITH THAT MARINE!? I'm going to kick his ass..!!!! Grab something and get outta there, Luffy!!

[audio!]

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

I WENT TO LOOK AT SOME GUY'S FIRE-THINGY!

[And, like an idiot, he got lost. He's struggling... and then there's a splash and some background noise, and a sigh of relief.]

I'm okay! [He got saved.]

[action]

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

[OH THIS WORKS! Luffy stands and just latches onto Kaito's hand. Don't let him go ever.]

I was gonna.... [Huff, huff.] ...see some guy's... [Huff!] Fire thing! His Gurren pokemon has fire on the back, I wanted to fight it in Cherry City.

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

Oh... yeah. [Oops.] I was gonna come back!

THEY'RE UP THERE NOW?! I didn't even see them on the path! Stupid bastards.

[Cough. The splashing ceases... guess who got his butt fished out.]

I'm okay!

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

I'M NOT FLAILING!

[And then he almost drops his pokegear again and just dips under the water again... and the video blanks out for a little. Oops.]

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

I WASN'T GOING SWIMMING!

[He was drowning. There's totes a huge difference here. Spluttering and coughing and...

Wait he's talking to Kaz, this is really weir--

OH GIVE HIM A FEW MINUTES HE JUST STARTED BURBLING WATER AGAIN.]

1/2

[justicereigns]

I'm going to find your brothers for now because I promised Freckles. Tch. Kazooie came swimming after you, she says she can take the route really quickly if it's flooded. There should be an idiot chef with a curly eyebrow who hits on every woman he sees. Assuming Kaz didn't distract him by going naked -- [Cuts into a dark growl of irritation.] -- Tell him you want to find your brothers. Or whatever fool thing you're doing. [Clearly in officer command mode.]

[justicereigns]

And Straw-Hat. I mean it. If you get hurt, I'm going to kill you.

[action]

[bakaitoukid]

Fire...? [hanging on as he lifts the boy out of the water completely]

And you were going to go see it in this weather? You're crazy!

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

A chef?! ...Birdy can swim?! NO FAIR!

[Works for him. He's standing now, so he'll try to behave.]

I'm not gonna die! I'll look for Birdy and the chef guy.

[action]

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

[Luffy shakes his head once he's out, feeling pretty glad.]

Noooo! I left before it started raining, and I got stuck in it.

[justicereigns]

Yeah, blonde hair, smokes these pansy little cigarettes. Curly eyebrow. He knows about you so don't get too surprised.

He good. Look after them until they get here. They're both idiots.
[Mutters.] Blind leading the blind.

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

Oh! It's that weird guy who knew my name! Did you tell him?

[He laughs.] Okay! I'll watch 'em and you watch Ace and Sabo!

[justicereigns]

Not exactly.

Can do, Straw-Hat. Although once they get here find out you're not, we'll probably come running. So we'll try to find you along the way.

[action]

[bakaitoukid]

[Kaito's already making his way toward the nearest shelter, making sure to keep the guy above water so he doesn't almost drown again]

You're pretty small, it's easy for you to get caught up in all this flood water. I think you'll have to wait 'till the rain stops to go see the fire Pokémon.

[usedbravebird.livejournal.com]

[SIGH. Brb, going to go tell Cloudy she's heading out to rescue your stupid ass.]

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

Okay!

[action]

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

[He'll cling. He's good at that!]

I can't swim, either! Where are we gonna go?

Video;

[curly-brow.livejournal.com]

[To which Sanji finally finds his way to the center of Route 30--trying to remember where the hell the water was in that place. Of course, Poliwag's fighting off bug Pokemon as he drags the twitching Tyrogue under his arm.]

Shit! Luffy, stay above the water!

[action]

[bakaitoukid]

[and clinging keeps him out of the water!]

The Pokémon! It's dry there.

[action]

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

Oh, okay!

[Cliiiiing.] Is there food there too? And is there a chef?

[action]

[bakaitoukid]

I bet there's plenty of food, but I dunno about a chef.

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

I'M STAYIN' UP, SHUT UP!

[Well, he is once he gets up. He's better once he gets his head up though. He splashes around stupidly though. He's trying!]

[action]

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

OKAY!

[He'll go with that.]
