Day 43 | Phone Call: All

[bravevalkyrie]

The snow is melting pretty fast, and with the height it was at I'm starting to get worried. I mean it's not like this is a hilly town but or anything, so the water won't exactly move downwards. Maybe it'll head to the beach but...

[She pauses and you can hear the crunchy squishy sound of her shoes in the melting snow.]Does anyone have any barrels

Comments

[coffeecoffeetea]

I don't think anyone has anything like that, so we'd best get to shoveling and relying on rain gutters.

[bravevalkyrie]

I've got a wheelbarrow. I got it when we had the... monster incident a while back. But I think we should start soon.

[coffeecoffeetea]

Yeah. There might be some shovels somewhere.

[bravevalkyrie]

See if you can gather what shovels you can. I'll start clearing a path to the beach.

[castoredux]

Or we could sandbag the gutters and let the water run in the streets. [Like sane people.]

[bravevalkyrie]

Yeah, and who has any sandbags? Do you? All I've got is a shovel and a wheelbarrow, what about you?

[castoredux]

It's everywhere. Shovelin' it ain't gonna do shit. [That would be a negative, Ghostrider.]

[bravevalkyrie]

So you would rather risk flooding than at least trying to help? If we clear out a path for the water to flow then that should reduce any potential damage.

[notzombiebait]

By that logic we might as well start building snowballs and roll it all down to the beach. [ He's teasing you, Claire. But that isn't to say that he isn't just as concerned by the potential for rising water levels as she is. ]

[bravevalkyrie]

You got any bright ideas meanie head? Anyway... you got a wheelbarrow or something? Just help me make a path to the sea or something. Anything.

[notzombiebait]

You know if the snow wasn't so frozen the rolling it up idea might not actually be a bad one.

Though-- I guess it would get pretty heavy. [ Not that that would be a problem for Mr. Beefcake over here. ]

I've got a shovel. Maybe we can find some bags or something and start making sandbags. Or hell, like you said we could just try piling it up and building a drainage ditch.

[bravevalkyrie]

We could fill some pillowcases with sand, make makeshift sandbags I guess. But I still think we should make a way to, you know, help the water flow to the sea or something just in case.

[And now she's all proud of herself.]

[crownedape]

I wouldn't worry too much, any water will find a way to drain itself off.

[bravevalkyrie]

Yeah but that's a lot of water...

[crownedape]

I guess, but I'm not that worried.

[bravevalkyrie]

Can't help it that I am. I just... after being here so long you end up wanting to take these precautions.

[itsjawsbitch]

I will help, though I will not need barrels.

[bravevalkyrie]

Thanks a lot.
