Who: Everyone
When: Day 65, all night and into very early morning
Where: Fourth floor
What: WELL THAT SUCKED

[So by now you've probably scrambled to salvage what belongings you could and are looking into whatever temporary housing is available in the non-flooded areas. Thankfully level four is rather spacious, so why not find somewhere to crash? There's probably a fairly large congregation of people milling about the fourth level by now.]

We have room in building A-1 and some extra bedding if anyone needs somewhere to stay for now. And if you have any space of your own to offer up, now's probably the time to say something.

(( Let's make some new friends, Thusia. It's gonna be a long... long... night. ))

I did, he's agreed to stay with us for now. He's looking for one of your roommates at the moment, I think.

I can get you a glass of clean water. Come sit down.

That sounds like Elliot. [Follows, looking exhausted, but not quite deciding to sit down like he probably should as he looks to the door.]

I should catch up to him-

If he's not back in fifteen minutes, go look for him. But for now you should at least catch your breath.

[sighs and sits down. His posture is exceptionally good for a moment when he should be resting. He'll glance your way through bangs, but he won't look directly at you.]

.. Alright.

[He quickly busies himself with fetching the water, returning a few moments later and handing it to him, not-so-subtly looking him over for injuries in the process]

[doesn't appear to be injured at all, so except for some drying clothes, he looks just tired, but he drinks the water remarkably fast, guzzling every last drop and doesn't mention anything about it on his own, he looks a little weary around you, actually, now that you look closely]

..

[... I'm used to people acting that way around me, honestly, but I can't remember doing anything to earn it yet 8(a]

... Is something wrong?

......

[nothing at first, then after several seconds, he finally talks, loosely holding the empty glass, there's a smile, but it's hard pressed - forced on his face]

Elliot and I aren't going to run a distraction anymore. It's a little too dangerous, and it took a lot more energy than I expected to get up here with Jabberwock.

Chrono, do you know what happened to make the rain clouds appear on the third level?

[Odd... though the first bit is relieving to hear, and it shows.]

Yukari happened, as far as I know. Why?

..Do I want to even know why?

[after a moment of thinking, he rubs a hand over his face..]

You talked to Glen last time. [frowns] I'm sorry.

[Shrugs, almost casually. This is clearly a trauma ping for you, so not drawing attention to it is probably the best option.]

It's fine, you don't have to apologize. No harm came of it.

[he idly swings a leg out before pulling it back in, and turns his head to look at Chrono]

... So.. this other form you have..?

[This conversation is always awkward... shifts a bit]

It saves more power than the other one... basically. It's not normally a problem, but since our powers are so limited here, it's better to conserve energy.

HUH-

That sounds like a smart idea. I was surprised when you were shorter than I was.. [he just might be laughing at that-]

[Short jokes 8|;;]

--It's a perfectly normal height for human children. For the record.

Oh! You're a child?!

Of course not, but the point is...

...

Nevermind.

[chuckling, before it drifts into a smile and he leans back in the chair, finally relaxing -]

I'm not judging you.

[DEFLATES. My injured dignity seems to be a universal ice breaker. What is up with that.]

Good! A person is worth more than their height. Or lack of height.

You're so sensitive about it.

I only was asking because children used to avoid me until Elliot came along.
