Floaters

[nodyinteam]

WHO: OPEN with Nekomaru Nidai!
WHERE: The training facility and other areas of the ship
WHEN: During the blackout, but also a general catch-all for the rest of the month
WHAT: Event catchall
WARNINGS: Possible talk of death and occasional shit jokes. Will update if needed.

A. Training Facilities

[Nekomaru was down in one of the training facilities taking part in a morning workout when the shit hit the fan.]

Whoa! What's going on? [The lights were out, the sounds of doors slamming shut filled the area, and he found himself floating onto the air on top of it all. ...Not just him, though. Various weights and barbells were floating haphazardly through the air, where they could cause harm to anyone.

Slowly the giant man tried to swim through the air, with the light of just one small flashlight clutched in one hand.]

Watch out!!

B. Wherever

[After making his way out of the training facility, Nekomaru spends the rest of the blackout slowly making his way through the various halls and other areas of the ship, such as the atrium and the shopping center, looking for anyone who may need help. He'll even call out whenever he's near a sealed door.]

HEY!! IS ANYONE IN THERE?! I CAN HELP!!

[It's not hard to miss his booming voice, and he can at least get most sealed doors open with some amount of effort. Are you trapped in a room, deciding whether or not to take a chance on this loud savior? Or are you also exploring the area and trying to avoid a collision course as you both try to swim through the air? Perhaps you find him when he's trying to break into his own room? The possibilities are endless.]

C. Wildcard

[Feel free to set something else up before, during or after the blackout! After the blackout and at any time for the rest of the month, Nekomaru could be available for getting stuck in any room and/or getting trapped in anti-gravity temporarily. Or if you have something else in mind, feel free to hit me up for plotting]

[Nanami nods firmly.] I remember playing a game or two like that... If you get to the core and turn things on or bring someone who can repair it, the power will go back on! [The Eluvio is a big ship, and Nanami doesn't know if it'll be the same it was in those games... But it's not a bad place to start, at least.] I don't know if either of us will know how to fix it, but maybe we can look around and see if anyone else knows how.

I haven't met many people since Nanami-san and I arrived, but... Nidai-kun, do you know anyone that might be able to help?

[nodyinteam]

Ha! It may be unlikely, but you never know... Maybe it really could work like that! [He says with a grin. But then he takes a moment to ponder their question.]

Hmm... I've been meeting a few interesting people since I came here, but I'm not sure if I know anyone with skills that would help with this... We'd need a real tech wiz! [Maybe even Souda would be helpful at a time like this.]

[partyleader]

It's okay. It might be a little tricky with the gravity the way it is... [She gestures helplessly at their floating bodies.] But let's give it a try anyway. There must be someone here who knows how to fix a ship like this.

Ah... And maybe we should try to find Hinata-kun and Nanami-san to make sure they're alright. Unless you've seen them since the power went out?

[She does feel a little worried now that she's calmed down enough to think about it... They didn't get trapped like she was, did they?]

[nodyinteam]

The gravity's just another obstacle to overcome, like a hurdle in an obstacle course! [He states firmly.]

I ran into Hinata earlier, but we should try to find him again. He'd be relieved to know that you're alright! And we should definitely try to check up on... um... Nanami as well! [So he didn't hallucinate there being two of them. That solves that!]

[partyleader]

[Nanami nods, making a noise of agreement.] Let's try to find them first then, and we can look for other people who might know how to fix the ship after. [Her friends have to come first. That will never change.]

Nanami-san might still be in her room, so we can look for her there... Do you know where Hinta-kun went after you saw him, though?

[nodyinteam]

Alright, now that sounds like a plan! [He declares excitedly.] As for Hinata? I'm not exactly sure where he went, but I was able to find him a flashlight. Unless he needed to go to the bathroom, I bet he's probably exploring right now!

[partyleader]

Nanami-san can come first, then. Hinata-kun will probably be alright for a little while longer, and... [She hesitates, but only briefly.] If Nanami-san is trapped in her room like I was, I want to help her as quickly as possible.

[nodyinteam]

You were trapped? [He says as he looks at her, full of concern.] I'm glad you were able to get out... but you're right. That's all the more reason to check on her first!

[partyleader]

[Nanami gives a brief, hesitant nod.] Mhmm... I was stuck in there and I didn't know what to do at first, but. I got out eventually. [She doesn't want to think about it too much. Even the thought of it still makes her shiver involuntarily.] But thank you, Nidai-kun...

[She smiles at him, though.] Right... Together we'll find them for sure. Let's go!
