Array 123 [Video]

[bloodseal_soul]

[Some soft clanking, followed by a gasp.]

No, nononononono-

Broken... stupid pipes, I shouldn't have left them down here, I should have known better...!

Gotta stop the leaks somehow, before I lose the rest.

[motherofalchemy]

The pipes burst?

[bloodseal_soul]

In the basement. It's leaking through the unplugged light switch in the ceiling, onto my filing cabinet.

[motherofalchemy]

Is there anything I can do to help? I can carry some of your things upstairs and see if we can get everything dried off.

How much water is down there so far?

[bloodseal_soul]

I have to deactivate a couple of arrays, but I'd appreciate it, even if you just put them on the stairs.

Enough that I've taken off my boots. [His teeth are already chattering.] Do we have a ladder anywhere around here? I know there's one in the hayloft, but I don't think we can get out there right now, unless Inuyasha wants to make a run outside.

[pervy_sennin]

Having problems, I take it. If you want some help, just say so.

[bloodseal_soul]

Unless you're secretly a plumber, Jiraiya, I don't know if you can help...

[pervy_sennin]

Good point. But I know a few water jutsus, can at least clear out some of the mess.

[bloodseal_soul]

That'd help... do you have any tips for drying off large amounts of paper documents...?

[endureandwait]

They're leaking?! I knew this would happen...

[bloodseal_soul]

I think it burst because of the cold, but I can't tell how bad. We might have to take the ceiling apart and get up in there to fix it.

We just don't have any way to keep this house warm.

[endureandwait]

I'm not sure how much I can do, but I might be able to help somehow? I mean, I'm not a plumber, but I am a mechanic, so maybe...?

Well, we can only do our best in these situations and conditions, Al.

[bloodseal_soul]

I'll see if I can't find anything we can use to patch the pipes. I don't know how bad they are, the house is pretty old. I don't even know where the water main is.

I get the feeling this won't be the first time this happens.

[sauceytomato]

Al? You need any help?

[bloodseal_soul]

Any idea how to get a lot of water out of a place?

[sauceytomato]

Other than manual labor, no.

[bloodseal_soul]

In that case, find a couple of buckets?

[audio]

[iceandivory]

I ... trust you can handle it without further aid?

[audio]

[bloodseal_soul]

[SHRIEK, splash.]

[audio]

[iceandivory]

...

You're alright?

[audio]

[bloodseal_soul]

Yeah, just this water's much colder than I expected.
