003 [ action ]

[hakoiri]

[ This afternoon, two individuals find themselves teleported to one of four bridges in the village. To the edge is Niko, who doesn't seem to be entirely "there" yet. Nearby is Alf with a look of confusion, spatula in hand from an interrupted cooking session. The expression changes to one of concern as he reaches out to his stumbling companion. ]

[On the other hand, Niko is drowning! Landing on ones wings is very stunning, and gasping for air doesn't work when you're under water.]

[hakoiri]

. . . Niko!?

[ He thought Niko would have surfaced on his own by now, but that doesn't look like it'll be happening anytime soon. Alf grabs one of Niko's arms with his free hand, then pulls. Don't drown! ]

[Alf just might get pulled back into the water, but it is enough to get Niko's head up, and for him to cough up some water.]

[hakoiri]

[ Which he does, and he's getting a mouthful of water again. Thanks. He pushes himself back up with some effort, spluttering for the second time as he wipes his face. He coughs once for a good measure. ]

[Why hello familiar face! Don't mind the person that has the bad luck of practically drowning here.]

[hakoiri]

[Common sense dictates that Alf pull Niko out of the water, which is exactly what he does.]

Are you all ri -- oh . . .

[It's when he does that he notices another person a ways before them, watching them. Did she fall, too? He looks back curiously, careful not to drop Niko.]
