[There is a soft click as the communicator turns on in Sorata's pocket. It's mostly silent for a few seconds, although you can hear some rummaging noises. Then there's the sound of quick footsteps, but they don't go far.]
"Umi-chan! Can you open this for me?"
"Huh? Oh-of course, I'll be right there!" [Footsteps again, this time approaching.] "...Do you have a can opener in here?"
"Eh... somewhere..." [There's some quick rummaging sounds.] "Umi-chan's so nice to me in my crippled ways. Not like certain other-aha!"
"Aw, c'mon Sorata, you're getting almost as good with flattery as Sanji-yeek! Static electricity in a place like this?" [A faint grinding noise, like a can opener being worked] "Ouch...I guess electricity's definitely not a good match with water-ack!!" [SPLOOOOOOOSH. There's barely enough time for the water to settle before:]
"Eh..." [A step or two, like Sorata is moving backwards fast.] "Wait, Umi-chan, did you just get your powers back or some-" [ZAAAAP. The rest of whatever he had been about to say is drowned out (so to speak) by a loud zapping noise. In the long silence that follows, you can hear faint, sad, sizzling noises, the sound of dripping water, and the distant sound of people complaining about a sudden lack of lights.]
[More silence. Then:] "...S-so...you too, huh..."
"...Wow. What a coincidence..." [Despite himself, Sorata sounds amused.]
[Umi's laugh is short and pathetic.] "Yeah, yeah! Talk about bad timing!"
[...The communicator times out. And the Northern Lights? Well... the power's out. To say the least.]
